Kevin you will have to clone yourself then there will be two of you,

You will have someone to chat to while you work!

Doing great work Kevin, Bob

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

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.

When I started typing your post was not up yet or I would not have duplicated it. Must have just taken yours longer to cross from UK.

This one was from the idea of Kevin's I just put the text and little people. Made from oak and ply stand.

Thanks Kevin for the idea. THE PATTERN IS IN THE PATTERN SECTION RE-SIZE AS REQUIRED

Roly

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!

Because they are the best............ no vibs,tilt the saw not the table, quick blade replacement, easy adjustment all round.great construction, what's not to like I would buy another tomorrow if I ever had issues. Well worth ever penny. Dan. Roly

Just caught up with something at the moment, but I'll be in touch about the cages soon buddy.

Kindest Regards,

Nick.

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.

Nick nice facebook site, love the bird cages. Roly

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.

Hey Nick,

 

Can you post the picture here? I don't have a facebook account and I can't view the picture without an account.

 

Thanks.

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).

To really enjoy Chai make it with milk and put 3 spoons Of Spicy Chai in and a Stevia or 2 depending on what you like Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm NIIIIICE :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Hi Nick, In the words of Frank Carson. Its A CRACKER. I nearly pi... I mean wet myself, and I'm still laughing . Hope you're still busy beavering away. Take care Nick.

Rob Roy.

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.
