Good morning Ladies and gentlemen. I met a wonderful lady some weeks ago ... She is in the forest management. I'm willing to make a TREE OF LIFE for her, to put in her office. Is it possible to have a pattern in oak, or beech. It's the main 2 wood, that she manage the most. Thanking you in advance.

Hello, I have a Hegner Scrollsaw, and using the foot pedal . Have been using this for years now, but now I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable while scrolling. Since I like to work in a standing mode, there is an imbalance of the body, because I need to constantly keep my right foot on the pedal. I 'm looking for a way to put a lampe switch, like this I can just put on the machine and put off when needed. Like this during my cutting time, I can stand upright on both foot, to balance the body weight. I work mainly standing. The foot switch ( dead man mode) is ok when working in a sitting mode. Thanking you in advance.

I use the tilt mode, when making the 4 pieces puzzle, it's a brain teaser. I use it as gift and also for marketing when I'm in an exposition booth. It's always a success.

Yes Angus, this is what I'm talking about, will follow your advice, to leave the arm level. But it's something interresting if it was easy to change the level to use the blades on another area. More economical also. May be one day the technology will permit it. Thanks a lot for the info.

I read some where on the net a while ago, that the Excalibur is adjustable in 2 positions in order to be able using the blade on two different area. For the owners of Excalibur, could you please explain how to make this setting.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY I'm very late to ask this. I 'll be at the SHAPE FEST this friday 5 september and saturday. THis will be held on the NATO military base ib Belgium, Maizières, it's about 20 mins drive from my place. I'm need some help for a pattern. I'm looking for a simple pattern of NATO and the logo. I will cut the pattern on a piece of pvc. During the SHAPE FEST, I usually do name signs . I would like if possible to put a quick NATO LOGO on the signs , just to personalize it to NATO. In the attached file you will see some simple templates I did for Halloween and during the horse day show. I do the name signs with a router, free hand routed. I just draw a line against the template, before routing. I'm sure the kids will love it. Dimension of the star + - 6 cm ( 2.5 inches) letter height 1.5 inches. I can even spray on it and rout it after. Please see the link below about the products.Thanking you in advance. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSIRT924jlAvvBRG0MZfu_u1Ihc8z5C3TGvroI3KLAUe9jPdJnb http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fs4h_L2bhwk/ToFE8sB-I8I/AAAAAAAAMws/L4iPl2YfnBw/s320/NATO%2Blogo_1.jpg https://www.google.be/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&docid=iukglZ8C9GnAFM&tbnid=AS1ctm9fNr8FeM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fedisi-politik.blogspot.com%2F2011_12_04_archive.html&ei=DiUDVMLBL4i2O4K1gFg&bvm=bv.74115972,d.d2k&psig=AFQjCNGbJasNMzDUCACzQUf_FaO_mFglxA&ust=1409578581351699

Jim, I check the rubber on the Hegner, have'nt seen any thing about it, could you please send me a picture of it if possible. Will be glad to be able to lift the arm further up.

I usually use the spray, but here in Belgium, it cost 15€ for a can, CRAZY, Now I use the white tape and ordinary standard wood glue, which I spread on the tape, and put the pattern on, then I use a pastry roll, on which I glued a soft rubber. Just roll on the pattern to remove all the air underneath, and leave it over night. This technic need to be done a day before. It's the lowest cost and I'm very happy with it. Just started to use it last Saturday, I was running out of the spray and wanted to scroll on Sunday. Will keep this technic. With 1 kg of white wood glue will go for years. With the spray, sometimes , the pattern lift up while cutting, with the wood glue and the pastry roll, this never happen.
