Hi folks, ukulele joe here again after a very long time alone, honing my skills, following your collective advice. I still love making things on my scroll saw, as you can see, (if I can attach my pic). I have met a young lady who has the self same interests as myself and the bonus is that she...

Hi folks, I have only ever used one wax which is Briwax and I can completely understand what you are saying about that "feel" after applying the wax and buffing it. It is as though you don't want to put the piece down that you have just finished. The smell it has is also great. I am working on...

Hi folks I have just been on YouTube and there is a type of Sharpie but with Indian ink in which the user who had your problem cured it with these Indian ink ones. He says that the bonus with the thicker end which is used most can be gently removed and re inserted the other way round. Hope this...

Hi folks, happy new year to all. I am still loving using my Axminster. I am at present scrolling a chess set. The theme is ocean life where every piece is coral so you can imagine the twists and turns required! When you turn the piece through 90 degrees you see various creatures, such as sea...

Try your local Try your local Wilkos store for general hardware. You can fill a bag of a mixture of nuts bolts and screws. They have washers in various sizes to suit. As long as you can seal the bag you can fill it for about 3 pounds 75. Have fun.......Joe

I've been using Snappy' for years and had no probs. All merchants selll them.best wishes to all Lol

Greetings one and all, for my finale on my tales of woe with blade clamps. I am now the proud owner of the trade Axminster scroll saw! Father Christmas delivered it 3 weeks before Christmas and I'm enjoying my lockdown alone here in Cleveleys.I cannot explain the pleasure I'm enjoying making...

By accident I chose 3 double tube 5 feet long fittings. The tubes are plastic and in a shed the ceiling is low. Every now and then I catch them in some way or other and they just bounce a little but never break. Mine are "daylight" and are perfect for use on my scroll saw where I never bother...

Hi mate, if you use a portable router the baseplate has one straight on it. If you work with the full rounded edge on your workpiece keeping pressure on then you will never tip over and the beauty is the bearing cutter will follow accurately the shape of the edges you are working on. Best...

Many thanks again all, everything I have sent to this site I have used my Lenovo tablet. After reading what you say ,this is possibly why the pics are small? Don't laugh folks but prior to finding the "resize" option on my printer I used to photograph the pictures on my mobile then send it to...

My computer knowledge is practically nill so when you talk about 150 and 100 means nothing to me. I worked off the book that I purchased on 3d scrolling told me to increase to 140% which I did. I even had to Google how to do this and that just told me to go to "more options" which I could not...

Thank you AES, when I watched 3d scrolling on YouTube the operator remarked that if you wander off the line, don't try to go back but just continue and come back to the line. So my little friend is slightly fatter in places. It is true what he ,"only you know!" I am still considering upgrading...

Yippee! The Olson kit came today and I couldn't wait to fit the new clamps.I was a little bewildered at first but following the instructions, managed to fit them. I wanted to give them a real test so I decided to have a go at 3d figures. Well, as you can see, my very first effort is not bad. I...

I may try that in the morning whilst waiting for the Olson, Cheers!
