    I have this exact same saw with the same upgrades. Mine was also made in 1995. I paid around $1000 including the stand in 1995. It is a great saw with full parts support. At some point the seller replaced the upper arm to obtain the quick release. He also changed the upper blade knob. This shows me that he care about his saw. If you look at the saw, check the upper arm for wear. It should not move much side to side. I have replaced the bolt that holds the arm on mine due to wear. All the parts are available. Price is close for a good Hegner. I would think $500 but if you want this saw you are going to make a deal with the seller. $650 is not bad, just not optimal. Correction. I just realized that this is a 22”. Go for it.

    I repainted mine and used Kabota Orange. It is a very close match.

    A Sheila Landry pattern. I did flatten the bottom; the plan had a rounder bottom. I got permission from the head chef before I cut this one. She painted the backer red.

    I just ordered this pattern. Is there a reason that you use a #0 skip tooth blade? I normally use a MGT 3 for almost all my cuttings as it is the most comfortable for me.

    I have been using Starbond CA glue for years. It is a good quality. Good website with lots of information Starbond.com

    A while back, I tried with Grok. It did not seem to understand what we need in a scrollsaw pattern.

    I recently ordered parts and had a question. The person on the phone said that she would reach out to the original owner for an answer. So it had been sold at some point. The warehouse pictured on their website looks like a third party distribution center. Advanced machinery must think it is cheaper to have a warehouse ship rather than having their own warehouse employees.

    There is a man in UK with a lot of repair information about Hegner scroll saws. His Facebook is Hegner A Saw Subject. Here is a link to some of his posts. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=122164891778219647&id=61556589420174

    This was a gift for my eight year old grandson. He picked the colors. Cut from poplar. Most of the parts were cut on the scrollsaw. My wife painted using DecoArt acrylic paint and coated using a clear lacquer Plans are from Toymakingplans.com

    I am curious what tape Denny of Artcrafters uses when he ships blades to us. I received blades yesterday and the blades were fastened to a mat board for shipping. I was able to remove the adhesive tape from the mat without damage.

    There is a person on Facebook that services Hegner saws and wrote yesterday about the changes with the saw. He is hard to find because of his unusual name. “A Saw Subject” https://m.facebook.com/story.php/?id=61553162265142&story_fbid=122112633236105408

    I saw this sale too. I have a 1996 18” that I bought new back then. It has the quick release update. I had two quick thoughts. 1) At the sale price, it is not much more than I paid in 1996. 2) My current Hegner is still so solid, that I don’t know what I would gain in buying a new version.

    In the video, he used paper towels and also cloth rags. He had cameras on the trash cans nonstop. He set up 25 different scenarios with combinations of storage containers, rags and different products. Over a ten hour period, there were three fires. Up to now, I felt like I have bern aware of the risk. Seeing how quickly these fires started, I realize that I have not been careful enough.

    My son sent me a link to this video. A test was set up to determine if oily rags used to apply boiled linseed oil will actually self combust. The video is 30 minutes long, but if you use boiled linseed oil, you should watch this. Even the person performing the test was surprised with the result. Link to video

    Like most here, I almost always use a MGT #3. Once in a while I will use a #5 or #1 both MGT. When I first started scrolling, I saw a blade chart and ordered several blade sizes including #7. I used one of those; not sure why I still have them.

    I like #1 best. Asked my wife and she said to stain #1 darker.

    Dave, I see you have a Hegner and a Pegas. Which did you use for this project. when you buy from McKinney Hardwood, do you go to their location?

    Do you know where I can find this pattern ? Looked on Russ’s Etsy and could not find it.

    I found the chart. They changed from green to black in 2012. So with an 08 owners manual, it was from between 2008 and 2012.
