    Brenda, I just checked out your "gallery" and let me say this, your work is awesome. You have come so far in such a short time. Cudos to you. Wonderful work. Great cutting and finishing. Fantastic!

    When I had my Hegner, I bought the factory wrench. It has a big comfortable handle. I recommend it.

    Can you get in behind that funnel to change blades or do you have to move it? It looks like it's in the way. Other than that, all good.

    I agree with what you are saying but my intent was to say that my answer came a long time after the fact. But, I can see what you mean. All info is good info if used correctly.

    Thanks for that info Brenda. I bought a used "burner" on eBay that had been designed to burn feathers and quills on decoys. I'm trying to learn how to use it to sign my creations. Adjusting the heat is the key but I'd be interested to know (see) the tip on your machine. Could you post a pick of it? I did find a source for tips for mine but I'm not sure what to buy. Thanks for bringing this subject up. I might add Brenda, your cutting is beautiful and so is your signature.

    Thanks Dan. I've been using them in my shop for years but never thought about using them for this. I'll give them a try. Now, all I have to do is come up with a draining rack of some kind. I just bought my first gallon of Watco's oil so I can start dipping my stuff. In the long run, it will be worth the investment. I hope.

    When I asked about "hanging" I was referring to the project at hand. The baskets that I make have no "hanging" spot to attach wire, string or whatever. I have been just wiping all the excess oil off of them but it would be nice to let them drip dry.

    John, just curious. I bought some rags at H/D that were supposed to be for wiping. They do carry a small amount of lint so I have to pick the lint balls of my creations. What type of rags do you use? Are you just using tee shirt material or something special? If so, what/where do you suggest? Also, how do you "hang" something that has no "hooked" area to hang it from? I know these are silly questions but I would like to know your technique.

    Thanks. I'm 6' 1" and the saw is tall.
  10. OCtoolguy
    How tall are you? What saw do you have? How high is your saw from the floor? I'm trying to compare your situation to mine. Thanks for any info.
  11. OCtoolguy
    What'd you say Les? I can't hear you.

    I'm going to just fabricate a single center leg from 2 x material. A single 2 x under the table morticed or lap jointed into 2 2 x 4's for a leg.

    Kevin, we have had this discussion before. I think most of their stuff is way overpriced. I would think about buying the leg set made for chair sitting but not at $250 a set. I'm going to give some serious thought to making a center leg that could be straddled. I don't think it would be that difficult to do and no cannibalizing of the saw is necessary.
  14. OCtoolguy
    Jim, that's more than I paid for the saw. Thanks but I'll find another way. I really think the answer is to alter the saw and then figure out a seat.

    I usually print my patterns onto full-page shipping labels. No tape, nothing. I just use a heat gun and they lift right off after a bit of warming. And the residue that is left behind sands off very easily.

    There will always be a better mousetrap.

    This has certainly been a warning to myself and others. Thanks for sharing. I'm happy that you are mending. And as has already been said, pics of the puppies please.

    Thanks Roberta but the post I'm looking for was very recent. Unless it was a recent addition to an old thread. Whoever it was, posted a picture with a link of the chair. I'm really just trying to find out how tall they are and what saw they are sitting at. Also, do they "straddle" the legs of the saw. The EX I have is much more comfortable to sit at that this Hawk. The Hawk is so tall that I must use the tall shop stool that I have and I must straddle the two legs and that forces me to sit forward on the chair. The rounded front edge of the chair cuts the circulation off in my legs and it's darn uncomfortable. There is a solution to this dilemma. If it means altering the saw, I'll do it. I'm thinking along the lines of taking the two legs off and coming up with a center leg to straddle. The ideas are wafting from my head. Thanks again.

    Thanks. I have done that but I haven't found one with a soft seat. I'm searching for just a saddle seat that I can install on my Northern Tools stool. If I can find one, I'll get a pad for it.
  21. OCtoolguy
    I've been looking at something like that but I haven't found one with a soft/padded seat. Where did she buy it? Can you ask?
  22. OCtoolguy
    That must be the one. Thanks.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Somebody posted a pic of theirs with a link to Amazon. I'm thinking about one.
  24. OCtoolguy
    If it were me, I'd take the little Hegner off the stand, put it under a bench somewhere and keep it. Once you get used to the Hegners, you might think about offing the Hawk. But, for the time being, I'd keep them all.
  25. OCtoolguy
    So, what one's going? I'm curious.
