Yes it is a Fiona Kingdon pattern - "Drips and Dragons". And you may very well be right. I also contributed to the breakage by the way I cut that section. But I was feeling quite frustrated at the moment. Question for anyone: What would be a good wood for doing fretwork like this in 1/4"?
-
Thanks for the tips. The glue is drying as I write this. I will be very careful for the remainder of this project and am not likely to choose Monkeypod for future fretwork projects.

I have been having fun learning my new hobby and learning about different types of wood. My latest involves Monkeypod and a intricate fretwork pattern. The Monkeypod is ¼” and I was using a Pegas #3MGT blade when a small piece broke. So I write that one up to experience. The Monkeypod is a pretty wood but It seems to be somewhat lighter and more brittle than other woods I have tried and it tends to have more fuzzies than most.

Beautiful job Paul, great detail work! Fiona's patterns are fun and challenging. I am working 2 of them between honey-do's.

Barb, Sorry to hear about your arm and hope it is healing well. I got a Wen air filtration system about the same time as you. Mine shuts off quite reliably with the timer. When I go in the shop I turn it on and set the timer for 4 hours and it is always off the next time I return to the shop. Let us know what you find about yours. Thurman

OK, I did it. I ordered and now have 2 of Fiona's patterns. They are sitting at the top of my stack of patterns. I have to finish the current project and dig through my stash of wood to find the right piece for each of them. Fiona's patterns call for one to use the right piece of wood for each cutting. I got the "Drips and Dragons" and "Three Shells" patterns, might try yours "Any Port in a Storm" another time.

Thank you for the reminder Travis. And thank you for a great website, it is a valuable resource for our hobby/obsession.

Very nice work Kirk! Please show us the finished product when you complete it. I have been looking at Fiona's patterns but haven't yet pulled the trigger. After seeing this I am encouraged to go for it.

Hegner Multimax 18 Connector Arm to Flywheel Problem
TAIrving replied to bfb's topic in General Scroll Sawing
The manual for Hegner scroll saws is available on the Advanced Machinery website https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1188/6562/files/Hegner_Scroll_Saw_manual.pdf?3248921969229599006 They also have parts diagrams, etc. -
I enjoy looking through patterns. Where can I find the CNC patterns you mention? Can anyone suggest a viewer to allow me to view them?

Welcome to the Village and congratulations on getting into the hobby. I got hooked last summer and am just a few months further into it than are you and am having fun learning. This forum is a great place to get information about the hobby. Your scroll saw will do you well. Next you will learn about types of wood and sources for your wood. The big box lumber stores will have low end wood and you likely will soon move on from that. Posts here on the Village forum talk a lot about sources of wood from dumpster diving for wood to pallet wood and so on up to exotic woods. Next you will get into dust (sawdust) removal and control. Again, lots of information here in the Village forum. Read, read, read. And enjoy this great hobby!

Thank you Frank. Very nicely done and documented. I need to do something for my shop and you have given me ideas to think about. My workshop and garden tool storage are combined in one 16' x 16' shed. So I do not have the option to locate the noisy part separately and must pay attention to the sound level.

So, what blades would one use to cut glass? Jewelers blades maybe? Just asking for a friend. My wife actually. She laughed when I told her about the beer cans but got interested when I mentioned glass/bottles.
-
Has anyone tried Miele vacuums? They are pricey new but some used ones are available on eBay. I wonder how they might compare to the Orecks.
-
OK, true confessions. I had been following the bidding on eBay for a Hegner 14e. In spite of it not supporting top feeding, I put in a low ball bid. And I won! So I am now awaiting the arrival of my new-to-me Hegner in about 2 weeks. It will sit beside my Pegas and I will have fun comparing the two.
-
Disappointment. I have become addicted to top feeding with my almost new Pegas.
-
Does the Hegner not support top feeding?
-
Nice, thanks for sharing. The scroll saw was interesting, also the way he turned his stock to make a dowel. And I did not quite get the brand of the glue he used to attach his pattern.
-
Beautiful bowl - thanks for sharing. What type and size of wood should one use for this bowl? The video looks like plywood which is ok for the video but maybe not for a keepsake bowl.
-
Thanks Les and Kevin. I have no intention to buy it, I was just curious what it might be and I think you have answered that. There are lots of problems with this. 1. There is no room in my small shop for another saw. 2. It is 2003 manufacture but is still in the box! 3 It uses 3" blades - what are those and where would one get them? 4. I cannot find a "Fret Saw Village" forum to compare with our "Scroll Saw Village". etc.
-
There is a listing on eBay for a Hegner Unimax Fret Scroll saw 0310585. I cannot find any information on it anywhere, not the Advanced Machinery website nor an internet search. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a scroll saw? Thanks, I am just curious.
-
Fantastic job Frank! Thanks for posting and for uploading the pattern.
-
Yes, red dust all over me and the shop. Now I am working on how to finish the dragon to keep it red. I understand that I should use a product with UV resistance. Has anyone tried Teak Oil?
-
Thank you all for your kind comments.
