Nice piece of fretwork Dominik, well done Harry.

I made this for a friend who although he lives in London, is a Yorkshireman. The flower itself is made up in layers> The outer leaves is the first layer, then the outer petals, then the inner leaves followed by the inner petals the stamen is made of yellow heart, The lettering is incised...

Thank you for looking. I am disappointed at the lack of projects been shown on this Forum a lot of posts seem to be dedicated solely to tools and related problems but not enough people wanting to share their scrolling skills. This is probably why I prefer the U.S. Forum, there they share their...

It is quite a while since I made a post on this Forum. Just one or two things I have made over a while. Thought you would like to see. Harry

The lily and box was cut on a scroll saw, the lily petals were cut from sycamore. The whole thing was assembled and given a coat of sand and seal, followed by several coats of cellulose high gloss, rubbed down in between coats with wet and dry paper.

Sorry the picture didn't go, try again

A few days I posted a picture of my water lily box open because I was unable to post more than one picture. I couldn't post a picture of it closed, so here it is. Harry.

Thank you everyone for your info. I will try all suggestions . Harry.

I have only had my planer thicknesser a couple of weeks or so, but despite cleaning thoroughly and applying record machine wax after leaving a few days I noticed some shall rust spots on the thicknesser bed. My workshop is dry but very cold,can anyone suggest a way of preventing this? Thank...

Thanks for the advice I'll give it another try.

Made this box from tulip Wood, the petals are compound cut using a scroll Saw and are cut from sycamore. can't seem to upload more than one picture at a time, would like to post more pictures. Harry

Thank You Graham for the info. After I made this post I tried yet again, the stop screws you refer to according to the manual are the registration screws one for maintaining a 90 degree angle and the bottom one for a 45 degree angle once these angles have been set the screws in theory when...

I have just bought a record 260 planer thicknesser, I had heard many people complain about the fence being a pain to set to ninety degrees and maintaining it. I was assured by the company I bought it from that the fence had improved (sales spin) Needless to say I am having trouble. Following the...

Thank You every body for your advice after much deliberation I have opted for the 3m 7500 series and the p3 particle filters also the A2 class 1 gas and vapor filters. I have tried the Trend air mask but found it to cumbersome and heavy when wearing for any significant amount of time, I also...

Judging from the lack of response to my request to anyone being able to reccommend a reputable face mask, I can only conclude that scrollers don't wear them and consider it not essential. Many harwoods cause dust particals that are harmfull and are indeed cancerous also manufactured materials...

I have a Draegar half face twin respirator but can't get any replacement refill filters. I have contacted Vitrex and they have told me this particular model has been discontinued, I wrote back and told them what I thought of them not being able to keep spares needless to say they have not...

I think all these pieces are grand Pete especially the one of the cat and mouse{ very whimsical) where do you get your patterns from. I think Danish oil would make an excellent finish or even a vegetable oil Well done. Harry.

I don't make the patterns Jim, there are various books on the market on intarsia work one in particular is Cathy wise's book on intarsia for the begginer also there are several sites where you can purchase patterns. Harry

Thanks Chris for that. I never go any where near the tensioning rod with oil, but I will check to see if any oil has strayed into that area when lubricating the arms. If oil is not the problem I guess there must be wear somewhere where though I don't know. Suppose it will be a process...

I use a Hegner multicut 2 Variable speed, The pig is made from pine.I use cellulose spray lacquer for the finish. I tried to post pictures in a bigger size but the forum wouldn't accept them told me the files were to big. Incidently can anyone tell me how to fix the tension on this saw. I keep...
