Have cleaned my table, it works great now. I've bought some more Danish Oil but will keep this lot in the tin. I've done this piece this afternoon and my backside never left my chair once as I now know how to use the 'tensioner' Magical !!! You are the greatest bunch of people I know. Thank you All for your advice, so freely given.

I can see when I open 'Forums', I will use it too. Brilliant idea xx

It does, thankyou I'll check it out when I can get to my saw as I too tape both sides. x

Wow, I've just seen this. The Plaque is Awesome. I've never seen rings done before. Beautiful x

Welcome Jason. This is a friendly place to be enjoy. Don't worry about the questions, I've asked loads and everyone has been very helpful.

Aha.... Have just spoken to hubby, who was an engineer in a previous life, and he has explained it all to me in 'baby language'. I never thought to ask him as he has no particular interest in scrolling, but as he says, a machine is just a machine. LOL .......................... He explained all the 'angles + dangles' about fulcrums and arms and technical stuff until my eyes glazed over and then decide to tell me in ''Scrollsaw Dummy Sentences'' Now it all makes sense, I hope. I'll try it tomorrow and see how I go.

Don't you just love the exhilaration of youth ? Such ernest energy, wonderful and I mean that most sincerely. I wish you well with your endeavours Hans and your patterns look really nice. However, as Phantom Scroller says, perhaps this is not the place where you'll get a tremendous amount of orders from.

Many thanks for all your answers, they are really helpful. I will get some wax for my table. I'm a little miffed with myself for watching people like Steve Good dipping their stuff in a large container and then presuming that it was kept in that container. Thinking about it now it seems I put 1 + 1 together and made 3. !! At my age you'd think I'd know better !!! As for the 'tensioners' on my saw, I've tried just using the front 'quick tensioner' but I find I don't always put the blade back in at the exact 'depth' as it came out as when I tried this my blade snapped, so I just presumed I'd have to undo the 'back' one too. Is there a way to put the blade back in with the same 'tension' that it was before you undid the clamp ? If there is I don't know how. I've ordered a Hegner Quick Clamp so this may help. I love this place, no question is too stupid to answer and you are all so generous in sharing your knowledge. I take my hat of to you all. Thanks. Brenda xx

If you read my original mail Ray, I did, right at the end put. Thank you so much for your patience, it is appreciated. Brenda xx I've put it at the 'bottom' now, but don't know how to make it 'Red' Thanks for your answer though. I'll have a look at your 'links' in the morning.

Please feel free to answer all or none as the fancy takes you. I realise that it can be quite irksome having someone constantly mythering. 1) The table on my saw feels as though it's not letting the wood slide nicely. Is there a solution ? 2) I bought some Danish Oil last week and put it into a container with a flat bottom, as I've seen on the Internet, so that I could just 'dip' my finished pieces. However, when I opened it tonight it has a thick, almost green layer on the surface, like you get when you don't close a paint tin and the oil underneath is quite congealed. ??? The container isn't 'airtight' is this the reason ? 3) If I have a pattern with lots of cuts, I have to stand up, loosen the knob at the back of my saw, loosen the front tensioner and then undo the clamp to release the blade. Then I have to do it all again in reverse before I can cut anything. Sometimes I feel like the proverbial yo-yo and I find it very tiring... Is there another way of changing blades ? Thank you so much for your patience, it is appreciated. Brenda xx I have an Axminster Saw, like this

Oooh, lots of new people this week. Welcome to the village Mike, this is a great place I'm sure you'll enjoy it hugely. Brenda x

Well, it goes to show. You learn something new everyday. Never a 'mistake' just a learning curve. My mother used to say ''More haste, less speed''. They'll look great when they they're done

Welcome to the village, enjoy xx

Wow, that's brilliant

Absolutely Stunning.

Welcome, the village is a lovely friendly place to be, enjoy x

Awesome cutting, I love Charles Dearings patterns, I just can't do them yet. Yours is beautiful xx

Nice work, I'm in the middle of doing one of his crosses, I hope mine turns out half as nice. xx

Good to hear it all went well, my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself .

It was when I tried to cut with thicker wood http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/31463-cutting-help-please/?do=findComment&comment=351341

Ooh, I need one of those What a good idea !!!

Ha, Ha. I'd been out with my girls that day and it was the only video I had on my phone so I thought I'd test it to see if a video could be put on here straight from a phone. Hope it didn't offend anyone as it had nothing to do with scrolling.

Whoo Whoo !!! Brilliant, well done

Fingers crossed for a great day for you. xx

Trying this to see if it works. Plugged my phone into computer, then did the same as if I was putting a picture on. I 'choose files', found my phone on my computer and clicked. So you can do it straight from your phone if you wish rather than 'download' it to your computer first. I just don't know how to make it 'smaller' Hope this helps x 20181109_143354[1].mp4
