For sanding small things, I sometimes use my Dremel. The small drum sander accessories work on some things and have diameters from 1/4-1/2". On the small compound cut Reindeer, I used the Dremel with the abrasive fiber sanding wheels.

Wow...another outstanding piece of art!!

Well done !

It seems every year I need to make more Reindeer as I give so many away. The small ones are about 1-1/2" tall and cut on my Hegner saw from Poplar, Walnut and Cherry. The tall ones are about 7" tall and sawed on my Rikon 10" bandsaw from a 4x4 Cedar post. All were then sanded by hand and the little ones are difficult for my arthritic hands. I have also attached a photo of some I made a few years ago to see how small l could make a reindeer. It looks like the smallest I made was just under 1/2".

It looks like a reasonable deal to me. It has been upgraded with the tension up front. New bellows are about $50. Blade clamps are about $30 but they last forever. Parts are available for the Hegners if you need them. I have had a Hegner for a long time and love mine.

I have a Hegner and no vibration issues. But it is a much simpler machine in terms of the linkages. It must be incredibly difficult and frustrating to deal with. to deal with. I do not know why people do not fasten them down to a bench or at least make it possible to temporarily fasten down. I just looked at the exploded diagram for the Pegas and it is a pretty complicated machine.

Thank you....I actually found the article in the Internet Archive and had the pattern.
-
Do you know who made or sold the pattern?
-
Those are great !
-
That is extraordinary work...really like it.
-
Yes, this has been mentioned many times and they have refused to try to do anything.

I really like it and wonder if I need one for my Mini Dachshund. She is 16 and suffering kidney failure.
-
Excellent

I use my table saw a lot but would not try this. I applaud the effort but think it js too dangerous for me.

I use skip tooth blades for thick material as they clean the sawdust fro the kerf better. I wood use a #5 Polar Flying Dutchman blade.

I just visited your website and am very impressed. You are doing great work and selling chess sets to support your charity is wonderful. I saw your Venice inspired chess set and was in awe. That set is unbelievable !!!
-
Wow...that is stunning and amazing done by hand fret saw. You have great skill!!!
-
Sorry but it sounds fatal. It likely is the motor or control electronics and both are expensive. Perhaps time for a new saw or look for a used one.
-
Wow....that is exceptional!!!

I use shellac instead of Danish oil type finishes. It dries very quickly and looks good. A spray shellac or lacquer is easy and quick.

Well done and makes a beautiful gift!

As always, excellent work and creativity.

I just bought the Rikon 14" from Amazon. Initially, I thought their price was high but it included free shipping. From other suppliers, the price was lower but shipping extra and it typically was a couple hundred and once you added it, the price was very close to Amazon. I spent about $1600 plus another ~$100 on a couple blades. I plan to build a rolling base to make it mobike. I had reviewed the other brands such as Laguna, Jet, and Harvey but liked the Rikon guides and how you adjust them. My son has the same saw and happy with it. I also have the Rikon 10" bandsaw for small stuff but not resaw. Good Luck

My advice, if you want one then get one. Fir me, the time is here where waiting a few years is not a good idea. I just want to make me happy.

You could add polyurethane to your mix. I do not use BLO due the the fire hazard.
