    Looks Great. My girlfriend is from the Valpo area so hoping to make it over to catch a game this year.

    I managed to get the riser built Saturday and got one step closer to having this little devil just like I want it. She runs like a dream mounted like this. I was a little worried that it might vibrate a little bit but she runs smooth as silk.

    I plan to buy one at some time but right now I just want to get everything working correctly. I will use my old saw for fretwork and use this one for the intarsia for now. I was planning on setting the old saw up at an angle and trying my hand at some inlay work and if I liked how it turned out just leaving it setup and ready to go. Gee I might have to buy a third saw to have one setup for fretwork.

    Thanks Mrs. N for the contact info. I ordered a new bellow and a pair of .02 blade clamps today. Now that I have spent some quality time with this saw I am really starting to like it. It is funny how different saws act so much different. It is like they have their own personality.

    If that was my house a few days of doing my own cooking, cleaning, and doing my own laundry and that saw would be set up right in the kitchen ( or any where you wanted it) and I would be chearing you on. Cut baby Cut. Lol

    The Moose is Loose in the Hoose (WOW that is an old cartoon now). The wood really sets this one apart. They are all neat but I like this one the best so far. Makes me want to pick up some zebra wood next time I make it to the wood working store.

    I love it!!! The back ground really sets it off. I need one on my wall.

    Thank you for all the praise on this project. I bought a calendar of sunsets for these and stack cut 3 of this scene. This is the first one that I finished and gave it to my son this weekend. When he went to leave his sister’s house he forgot the food he was supposed to take home with him but he made an extra trip into the house to make sure he didn't forget this. NOW THAT IS A COMPLIMENT!!!

    This one was a pleasure to cut. I am not sure were I got the pattern so if anyone knows please speak up. I wish I could give the pattern designer credit.

    At one time WEN was top of the line equipment. In the last 15 years or so they have made a line of products to sell cheaper to appeal to the small home shop person. I don't think they are a bad product for the money and I agree with the statements above. For $50 how can you go wrong? You get what you pay for but I think it will be a useful tool.

    I don't think Mozza jumped the pond. I had never heard of him before and I love 60's 70's and 80's music. Great pattern and cut thou. I like the expression you caught in his face.

    Very nice. I love them. The only problem is you misspelled my last name. Lol

    So that is what that little doohickey is used for! I figured it was something to do with the changing of the blade but wasn't sure how it worked. Thanks Jim I will have to machine a little block to work as an alignment stop. Just got done inspecting the bellows and while they still move a little air they do have a crack in them and will need replaced.

    It is a done deal!!!! I made the trip to Kansas and bought the saw today. I was under the impression that this was going to be an 18†saw (woops that is one question I didn't ask. I should know never to assume) and was kind of worried about how it was going to fit in my limited space but it turned out to be a 14†saw. For most of the work I do this will work better than a bigger saw. It is a cute little devil and works like a new one. Even the original package of blades was only missing a couple blades so I don’t think it has more than a couple hours on it. Even the blower that they said didn’t work was only plugged with a little saw dust. All in all I am very happy with the saw even if it isn’t as big as I originally thought.

    That is a beautiful piece of art! How many cuts are there in that piece? Marvelous fret work. Thanks for sharing that.

    http://www.hegner.co.uk/Heg_Variable_Speed Thanks Jim for the info. I will be looking for those attachments after this Friday. I did find the answer to my question on changing from single speed to variable speed on the Hegner UK web site and posted the link here. The saw I have now has the knob in the back of the saw so I am use to that but the quick change would be a bonus. Thank You all for the advice. I knew I could count on the good folks on this forum.

    I agree on turning the saw around. I would build a mounting plate at about a 20 degree angle so that I won’t have to lean out over the saw to see the blade correctly. I did that to the saw I am using now after seeing your saw Kevin and it really worked well for me. It saves my neck and back a great deal. I am a fairly tall man at 6’ 6†and have a problem with prebuilt stands not being high enough for me so that will give me a chance to adjust the height to fit me correctly.

    It looks like it is only a single speed. Can anyone tell me if you can update a saw with a control like this? It was made in 1987. I don't know if I can get a freak drive put on it or if Hegner would sell one of their controls or if it would have to be used as a single speed. Any input or information where to go to get information will be appreciated.

    If I am cutting smaller pieces for a project I have a piece of ½†plywood that I clamp to my table so I don’t lose the piece I am cutting thru my table insert. If I used ¾†plywood it would also work to get me up on a newer section of the blade to extend blade life. Hmmm I kind of like that idea. This means a trip to the lumber yard. I wonder if they got a new shipment of hardwoods in???? Oh this could get expensive. Lol

    I am looking at a Hegner Mulimax-2 an am wondering if this saw is worth driving 3 and 1/2 hours and paying $250 for it. What do you people think?
  24. Wilson's Woodworking
    If you are hoping in you sleigh and headed my way I would prefer the Excalibur. However I wouldn’t complain if you brought me either one of them.

    Oh I think you could still slip in along the side there and do a little scrolling. LOL That insulation would work great to add R value to your shop thou.
