Whoaa! Bob...can you imagine - what will it be like around here with multiple "Amazing Kevin's"? Try working out how many surplus stock boxes that will be! LOL
-
Great news Kevin - it all helps to pay the bills
-
Great work Larry. I love quirky and obscure stuff - it's much more interesting than patterns that are replicated everywhere. Kindest Regards, Nick.

"Happy Birthday" - Ron. I hope things are good

Ohhhh...c'mon man - surely it's "THE MONSTER MASH", all the way! (What's wrong with everybody?) LOL

Why Should I Buy An Excalibur 21?
Nick@tinkers-cove replied to smitty0312's topic in General Scroll Sawing
My favourite quote ever Roly...."If a man says something in the woods, and there's no women to hear him...is he still wrong?" LOL -
Hey Andy...I know Brum quite well (I lived near Cov for 5 years) I'd save for the Excalibur (any model) if I were you - my EX-30 was the best purchase I could've made and can't be happier with it. A lot of it is down to personal choice, but if you're getting serious about scrollin' you may want to spend a little more. Axminster Tools are the UK's leading stockist for Excalibur - and there's a branch in Nuneaton. Hope this helps, and welcome the the village. Kindest Regards, Nick.

Good old fibre optic, eh Doug! Maybe it's time to jump back to morse code LOL

Amazing Kevin font name plate idea

Hey Roly...I spy Mr Grumpy LOL

Let me know if you ever need a PDF of the manual, Roy.
-
Hey Roy. There is a screw that needs some attention on the left hand rear panel. It only needs to be tightened slightly. I don't have the full details right now, but if you send me a message directly, stating your email address, I'll send you the EX 30 user manual. Hope this helps. Kindest Regards, Nick - Bridlington (East Riding of Yorkshire) Love Manchester by the way...especially over the Snake Pass to Glossop.

Cool Frank!

I am a proud owner of an EX-30. (Some of my work is quite large which is why I chose the 30). I started with an entry level saw, and quickly realised that I needed something more substantial and suited for heavier use. If you are in the same situation, I would advise that you research well, and consider you're budget. Dewalt, Hegner etc also offer some very good, high-end saws - but when you're spending that kind of money...take you're time. Find what's best for you, then don't look back. For my work, it was the most logical decision I could've made and I'm delighted. If you require any more information, just give me a shout. Kindest Regards, Nick. -
Not sure what it's referred to as in the US, but all you need is cheap standard 'White Masking Tape'. It comes in a range of widths, and is predominantly used in the vehicle repair industry. If you prep the wood correctly, and apply the tape in the same way - it's perfect (and very cheap). I'm aware that everyone has preferences, but after many experiments...I'd use nothing else. There are many other methods which usually cost far more money, but standard masking tape and re-positional spray adhesive is all you'll ever need. I hope this helps, and any questions are welcome. For detailed information, please see http://www.tinkers-cove.blogspot.co.uk/ Kindest Regards, Nick.

Thanks Roly...the cages are from Sheila's site, and I love them also. They seem to be a big hit - but you really need to have a steady hand for the lines, because it's very noticeable if you're out slightly. If you 'Direct Message' me - as soon as I get a minute, I'll talk you through it mate. Kindest Regards, Nick.

No problems Dan. Original Image Desaturated Vectorised (Pattern) Finished Piece Central Close-up Bottom Left Corner (Wet Sand) Top Left Corner (Sky) Wooden Wall Mounted Oh, nearly forgot to say...the orange splash is the same colour scheme of the actual theatre.

Morning all. Hope everybody is happy & smiling Latest piece just finished. ("said with a huge sigh of relief!) I will be posting the whole process on the blog when I get time. Kindest Regards, Nick. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.860399797318414.1073741836.213980035293730&type=1

The new patterns are great Sheila (saw them in the email). I'll re-order when I get on top of my current workload. Keep up the good work...I'm sure you find plenty of work for Keith to do. LOL
-
Ah well Kevin...if nothing else, at least you can ship it anywhere in the world - (with the amount if costs it has, it'll be ready to handle any extreme cold country) LOL
-
Brioche & Chai for me please Kevin (hope you're keeping well).
-
Perfect Marg...only I don't do dairy, so it's soya milk for me with vanilla chai. The cardamon goes so well with vanilla
-
Yeah...just the usual workload - only now I'm putting an exhibition together for a local gallery who've caught on to me. It's a bit daunting really, but good all the same. I've also had some interest from a government funded timber recycling project who want to sell my plaque & decorative stuff. It's all nice, but a bit overwhelming all to be happening at once. I'll be posting here in the village again soon (it feels like I've been gone for ages!) I hope you and all the family are keeping well mate. Kindest Regards, Nick.

Hey Kevin...ya know why they put rubber bands around the claws don't you?.....(it's so they don't reach over the pot and turn the gas off!) LOL
-
Hey everyone. If you look down the north road into the village, just by the broken fence...that's where I'm sat. I keep peering in, and promise to be more active soon - lots of things are going on regarding my work at the moment, and later this week I should have some news. It's great to hear how you're all doing, but in the meantime - if you see my bretton cap tilted...it means I'm asleep. Just pass-by (please don't poke) LOL I'll be back soon. Kindest Regards to you all, Nick.
