    Craft Fair Panic!

    Had a craft fair on saturday - well actually a table top sale. I thought it was on the 27th so panicked and spent a whole week non stop in the shop finishing stuff I had cut and getting more ready. I finally got to bed at 3am on the day of the show after labelling and photographing things. As it...

    Chippygeoff

    Hello guys, I thought you may be interested to know the sad news that our friend Chippygeoff sadly passed away on September 8th. I spoke to Geoff on the 1st and he was remaining optimistic about his treatment but struggling with the pain and I then heard nothing more from him, so checked his...

    Heads up - Wivamac complete setup for sale soon

    Hi guys, As these don't come up used very often I thought I would give you a heads up. I got a used wivamav DB801 for my (big) birthday last year but circumstances meant that I was unable to use it for quite a while. I literally only played on it for a couple of hours and made a small paper clip...

    Picked up my first lathe today

    Hi guys, Thanks for the advice given previously on getting a lathe. I was just about to buy a jet 1221 when I got the chance of a wivamac. Took a nice long 10 hour return drive up north today to collect it but it was well worth the journey. I got a wivamac db801 variable speed complete with...

    How on earth does anybody make a purchasing decision!

    Hi guys, I hit the big 50 last Friday and my wife was at a loss as to what to get me. Usually anything toolified would be great but I just couldn't think of anything I wanted or needed as I now spend most of my time in the workshop on the scrollsaw and have what I need to go with it. A lady at...

    Elmers Spray Adhesive bargain - £2.99

    Hi guys, If you have a 'The Works' shop near you it may be worth checking for spray adhesive if you need any. I picked up a couple of cans of Elmer's repositionable mounting spray (10 oz) today marked up at £4.99 (which I thought was a bargain) but they had been reduced again and went through at...

    Found a decent foot switch for my scroll saw

    Hi guys, After the disappointment of the Proxxon foot switch I have been looking for something good but not ridiculously expensive for my Hegner. I finally decided on this one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Momentary-Conta ... oot+switch I expected it to take about a month to arrive from...

    First proper piece on new Hegner.

    Hi guys, Finally got to cut my first proper piece on the new saw. Decided on a Cairn terrier for my wife as it looks just like her dog, Bailey. Cut it out of 28mm pine using a no.3 FD blade. Probably should have chosen something simpler for the first go, especially with all the angled cuts...

    Finally finished my scroll saw stand

    Hi guys, I planned to build a scroll saw stand based on the photo below: I had bought some nice 75mm square pine to build my wife a kitchen trolley, but when she picked up a beech one from ikea I was left with the timber. I agreed with Hutzul's comment when I first posted the pic that the...

    Tribal Kittens - great for scrollsaw patterns

    Hi all, Whilst browsing through photoshop brushes I came across the following and it immediately struck me that they would make great scrollsaw patterns! The only adjustments I can see that would be necessary are the small ear on the left kitten, the nose on the middle one and the eyes on the...

    Proxxon foot switch for hegner?

    Hi guys, I have just received my Hegner multicut 2 SE and I would like to buy a foot switch for it. Unfortunately I fear my life will be over if I tell my wife I need to spend another 75 quid on the saw. I also think that £75 is taking the mickey for a foot switch. I have noticed that the...

    Quick clamp lever for Hegner from Mike's Workshop

    Hi guys, I finally got around to ordering my hegner quick clamp following the recommendation of just about everybody who has one. I also ordered the quick lever to replace the hegner knob weeks ago when i ordered some blades from Mike. Now that I have gone to put the two together I just wanted...

    No vacuum to crown guard - help!

    Hi guys, I am just about ready to tear my hair out. I have an axminster AW10BSB2 table saw and also a numatic NVD750 for dust collection (connected via a 100mm cyclone). The original connection port on the table saw was worse than useless and whilst the dust collection from the cabinet was OK...

    Can't decide between Record BS300E or SIP 01548 bandsaws

    Hi guys, I want to finally take the plunge on a bandsaw and had narrowed it down to the Record BS300E at £519. Then I found the SIP 01548 at a bargain price of £450 so I am now in a quandry. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the quality of the record power was superior to the SIP so I am...

    Axminster table saw - blade catching on dust hopper.

    Hi guys, Had my table saw for quite a while now and spent time setting it up correctly and basically 'fettling' it. Actually got to use it properly for the first time this weekend whilst putting together a quick and easy router table as my wife said I couldn't play with it until I had finished...

    Table saw power supply problem

    Hi guys, I have finally finished assembling my new Axminster AW10BSB2 table saw but I am having trouble with the power supply. I have a consumer unit in the garage with a ring main on a 32 amp breaker and a couple of lighting circuits. There was a spare socket so I decided to install a dedicated...

    Xcalibur 10" 806 sliding table

    Hi guys, After weeks of trawling the internet researching table saws I am now on the verge of purchasing my very first one. My wife is so sick of me sitting on the computer looking at them and reading reviews she has told me to just buy the damn thing! Although i intend to mainly use MDF at...
