Now that type of a box is interesting....  You did a GREAT job on cutting it and assembling it.  I just LOVE your wood choices.  How difficult was it to apply that felt on the drawers insides?  Later....  Danny  :+}

Think the Lacquer might be better than the Poly. But would you believe that Lowes or Home Depot here DO NOT sell the spray lacquer?  They used to and I took someones advice about using it and bought a few cans and I do remember it going on good and shorter drying time and Yes I think it was better than poly....  I asked one of the employees that worked in the paint department and was told that it didn't sell very well, so it was discontinued.
Makes me wonder WHY? 

Yes Dan I have applied your brown paper bag trick and Yes I like it.  Yea!

And Torsten I buy from Sloans, so will check into that Beech.  Sounds right up my alley. 

GB I don't know what got me into want to finish all my projects with the HIGH GLOSS poly., but this is how I feel makes them look better.  Will give the SEMI-GLOSS a try. 

Later....  Danny  :+}

What is everyones flavor on getting a real high gloss on Baltic Birch?
Think I am developing a problem with this wood.  Using a OIL product like Steves Lemon Oil, or Dans BLO/Spirits or any of the Danish oil products I just DO NOT see a real good grain pattern afterwords.  To Light....And even after three coats of Minwax Poly. there is only a SLIGHT shine to it.  Hey am I doing something wrong?   Thoughts of yours are appreaciated.  Danny :+(

Howdy Dan////AND EVERYONE////....  I made many of the Gift Certificate Holders back yonder and they sold real well.  Maybe I was wrong, but I asked $5.00 and sold a dozen.  ((((No gift card included))))  LOL  It was in November and of course close to CHRISTMAS, so thats probably why.  Anyway.
     I made mine out of a THINNER wood that I bought from Hobby Lobby.  Was a touch thinner than the 1/8" BB.  Looked better being THINNER.  Steve has many different patterns for the front/back of each.  Anyway....  Danny  :+}

General Scroll Saw Talk / Info. for Hegner Owners.... :+}

« on: July 25, 2011, 05:19:10 pm »

Some back I posted a Blade breakage problem using the FD blades.
Well I think I found the reason my Hegner was breaking blades.
The little pointed blade holder on the top (don't remember what the name of this part is ?)  It has a threaded hole on the right and left sides.  Might be made for use of either a right or left handed person. Don't know.  Anyway....
I'm right handed, so the lil allen screw on the left I think is a adjustment point.  After using the magnifing glass I could see that the allen screw was backed out leaving a inditation (small hole) Well when I tighted the blade as normal I think the screw pushed the blade a lil into the shallow part of the hole causing a lil bend in the blade.  ....Anyway....  After re-adjusting the left side and cutting a stack of 2 quarter inch BB for I wud guess around a HOUR the blade was still intact and Yea! Did not break.  Yea!  Anyway for the Hegner owners I would LOVE to hear your feedback.  Thanks....  Danny  :+}

Hey Kepy....Now all 4 are simply Beautiful.  Love the way you I guess paint the backer of each pattern.  I will more than likely use your method in something in the future.  Thanks for the tip....  Danny  :+}
