Hi Bob, A beautifull piece of work. Well done. It is absolutely faultless John

Steve, Thanks for going through the procedure, will have to give it a try John

Most unusual, I love it. Its great to see woodturning combined with carving. Do you do much carving ? would like to see more of your work. John

Very impressed, I like both the design and finish. How did you go about getting the two narrow light coloured rims and the black rim ! John

Absolutely exquisite. As a dabbler boith in woodturning and prography, I am just stunned by the skills it took to produce. If I was able to Turn such a perfect item, I would then be afraid of burning it in case I made a mess of it. Well done to both of you.

Absolutely fantastic. You have duel skills of both Woodturning and carving. Do you consider yourself more of a Turner than Carver or the other way round. Carving I would say, being so slow, needs much more patience. John

Thanks for your advice Steve and all you have contributed to my query. I am much encouraged, and will be ordering a couple of the videos as soon as I proceed and order the Bandsaw John

Thanks TomO. Its good to hear of your experience with different size blades and the 1/2" being your preferred choice. John Bullard in his review agrees with your conclusion : http://www.woodworkersinstitute.com/page.asp?p=521 I was told there is a new Basato 4 coming on the market soon, but...

Thanks Steve, that got me to look at the Steve Maskery Video. Useful to see its a Scheppach

Thanks to TomO and ProShop for your encouraging replies. Would really like to know when using the one inch blade, if its then necessary to use a planer, to get a decent surface sufficient for use in small scroll saw projects. I dont have enough room for both a bandsaw and a planer. When its then...

I am considering the above bandsaw for resawing using a 3/4 inch blade, and also using a smaller blade for circular log cuts for bowl blanks. I am concerned that only the more expensive bandsaws are suitable for the the higher tension needed for 3/4 inch blades. This is considered a mid range...

I have had mine for nearly two years. My first scroll saw, and I have no complaints. Would recommend it, but cannot comment on price.

Very Impressive Gilljc. Regarding comments from CHJ, as I have not as yet posted any photos to the forum, would appreciate if CHJ would be more specific so the rest of us can get it right. Is it the fact the focus could be much better !, the photos could have been cropped ! What is image...

I particularly like the rim angle on the last two, was it cut to this angle off the lathe and finished by hand.

One of my problems is not being able to obtain good quality wood for scroll saw projects. I think its a universal problem. I end up using mainly plywood. If you put a lot of effort into a project, it will look and be better and be more prized if it is made from solid wood. I was thinking that...

Thats a good sensible reply Gill, I would love now to have the opportunity to see the improvement in blade changing in the Hegner to my Sheppach, as its only Blade Changing so far that bugs me. Its too fiddly in the lower blade holder, but no problem on the upper. Fortunately, I dont need to...

the guys are right, cheap fretsaws are nasty and don't cut straight. there's a couple of axminster excalibers, which are HUGE and on Ebay at the mo. kev. As a novice Sheppach 405 user, I am curious about the above statement, as I am sure my Fretsaw falls into this category ! I don't find it at...

Hi Mike, that looks fantastic, beautiful contrasts, a work of art to be proud of. John

I have had the 405 for nearly a year, and find it very good, my only difficulty sometimes is locating the lower blade clamp screw, you need to beam some light in the area to see it. If you don't insert the blade and tighten it just right, it will pull out when tensioned. With experience and...

Many thanks for all your replies. You have convinced me that its the O'Donnel jaws I need. As soon as Axminster have them in stock again I will order them.Special thanks also to John Taylor and the photos and the link to his website, the glue chuck procedure is very helpful, and to John Jonzjob...
