    Ahhh HA HA so glad you have it. You can do the refinements like the bigger table.. but you may decide it isn't necessary. When you figure it out, as I did eventually, you will think it as close to as perfect as one can get. Congratulations, take it slow, be patient, and one day you will say as I do, "if I could only have one saw, it would be my Hegner" I saw, I look through my magnifying light and what, no vibration!! What, it is so quiet!! What, not difficult tearing it apart to do maintenance, don't have to!! What, it will last my life time! What, it is orange! Welcome to the Hegner club!

    I have, what I described is just what I am comfortable with. I also think hot glue guns are messy and a pain. Glue running all over, after you are through..

    Keep working at it, Runa, you are progressing fine. I still an trying new techniques and blades as I go. I do things now so differently from when I started.

    Also,,, for the fuzzies the Mac Mops can't get I use a Dremel with a little wire brush thingy. It works super.

    I think colored cellophane works well, I am just not sure where you get it. Hobby shop? How you doing with that "new to you" saw??

    Jerry, it is only because of our admiration and awe of your wisdom and forsight.... DO NOT GIVE UP THE KEYS!!

    Dave has that saw come yet??? I laid awake last night thinking about your new saw! Do not know why I am so excited for you, but there it is. Must be something about my admiration for your work, and hoping you love this saw.

    Try getting the blade through a hole drilled with a #68 or #70 bit, against the direction of the teeth, and through a 1/16" zero clearance hole..... In a lot of cases a 1/16" bit is way too big for the little area I want to cut. .... But, this "top" feed, "bottom" feed discussion, that has been going on as long as I have been a scroller, does not matter... it is all about what works for you...

    Absolutely nothing wrong with this method, I have used it for "small" cuttings. But when I get to a say a, 14" x 11" or bigger detailed picture, I want more holding in the center part also. Hence I use small nails. I also like blue painters tape. Does not leave residue. I use to apply the pattern directly to the wood, but I do not like cleaning the residue off a delicate piece with a rag and Mineral Spirits. I would rather lift the tape off with a X-acto knife blade. But Wayne is correct, in my opinion, what ever you are comfortable with is the correct method, for you.

    Very nice!

    I just use the nails on larger pictures. I put blue painters tape on the front. I put the strips of tape across the front and over the edges to an inch or 2 on the back. I face the whole front that way ending up with it covered and the two edges. Then I put the pattern on. To insure the pieces do not move or lift up in the middle, I put a few nails in waste areas. If the nails are a little long. I pound them in with the piece on a piece of metal. When the nail hit the metal, it flattens the point of the nail, so it doesn't scratch my table top. My nails usually stick up on the pattern side 1/8+. Doesn't hurt anything if they do. I cut the pieces with the nails out last.

    Welcome to the village. Nice to have you.

    I love the Noel pattern that was in the latest issue of SSW&C issue. So I cut it yesterday. This is mine, just one of many that have been posted here. Mine is all cherry. Finished with a soak in 50/50 BLO/MS. It was quick and fun to cut.
  15. Scrappile
    Well not get serious about it until after Christmas
  16. Scrappile
    Okay, not that is some pretty neat stuff!
  17. Scrappile
    Let nothing go to waste! Great job.

    There are a couple book stores on ebay also, that are connected to GoodWell some how. I have gotten great prices, great books and great service every time I have purchased one from them.

    Very sorry for your loss. You did a wonderful job on the pattern and cutting. I am very sure they will appreciate.

    I'm like Denny, I use my Mac Mops on almost all the things I make. If it is curved items sometimes the Sanding Mop works better. I have 12" Harbor Freight disk sander and I use it a lot also.
  21. Scrappile
    Just do it, Rob. One hole at a time. You can, it will surprise you, only a little more difficult than ones not so detailed, and they take a little longer.

    Isn't the Cardatec the over seas version of the Excalibur? Should be a pretty good saw.
  23. Scrappile
    I bet you have to add one more "0" to that price... I mean the top of the line Hegner is $3350, and it is somewhat smaller and a little less powerful that that machine!
  24. Scrappile
    A+. That is beautiful!
  25. Scrappile
    Done on a Hegner, bottom feeding all the way.
