« on: April 10, 2011, 06:21:15 pm »

Hi Peoples....  One of my Daughters birthday is coming up soon and she has requested a sort of serving tray.  Steve has a few designs which I would like to follow....  Guess basically this might be for our designers.  Seems she wud like say a rectangle with sides being 16 inches and ends being 8 inches.  Maybe heigth being say 3 inches.  Her likes wud be flowers, leaves, trees and dogs.  I wud dearly LOVE to have a pattern to cut for her.  Thank all of you....  Danny  :+}

Hi Tim....There is a BIG improvement over the two.  The BEST one is using the FLAT blade.  Both look really good, but this is my opinion.  Hey I never got used to the spiral blades.  Later  Danny  :+}

Think someone eles posted this project before, but I finally found the pattern and it looked like the person wanted you to use a spiral blade by the way it looked.  Well spiral blades just don't work for me, so I exagerater the line to make the eagles feather have a effect sort of.  Up close it really looks Neat.  Anyway wat u think?  Danny  :+}

Thanks for ALL of your input.  I guess it is a Scroller sort of thing.
Mrsn....Our Hegner on/off control switch is not in a easy position to turn it off real quick.  Tried it and didn't care for it.  Now our Hitachi's on/off switch is in the PERFECT position.  Yes?  Sometimes I wish I had of kept mine.  Oh well another scroller has it now.  And Oh the Memories of putting my feet where ever I wanted while cutting.  Thanks again gang....  Danny  :+}

This is about the ones of us that uses the foot switch....
I have NEVER had the foot switch and I have been mostly standing up doing all my Scrolling....Until bout three months ago....In which I started sitting down in a VERY comfortble chair with the saw on a lower table.  Well here's the question....  After three months I find my RIGHT foot always In the upright position between changing from one intry hole to another.  Its like the heel is on the ground and the toes are up in the air just waiting for me to complete the change and begin again.  LOL  Yea!  even tho I sometimes think about it and RELAX my foot I mostly ALWAYS am doin this.  Is anyone eles experiencing this minor thing?  Later....  Danny  :+}

Ask Steve a question. / Re: stacking

« on: April 02, 2011, 08:18:54 pm »

Personnelly I prefer when stack cutting to cut my blanks bigger than the pattern and mostly GLUE to corners and clamp or apply the pattern to the top blank and brad nail the unit together in the throw away areas.  I prefer using PAINTERS TAPE on the top layer.  Spray glue the painters tape and bottom of pattern.  There are many ways to keep the stacked layers together.  This is just my way....  Danny  :+}

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: 14E Hegner - I broke it

« on: March 30, 2011, 02:19:19 pm »

Hi Kenny....I am so, so happy about you having the same problem as I have been experiencing.  I also contacted Mike and he sent another 4 dozen to make up for my previous order.  Nothing changed.  The breaking still happened....SO....I really had thoughts my Hegner was the problem, but me also used another brand of blade and after cutting with it for I would guess over a hour it is still cutting perfect and no breakage.  Yea!
And I have been using Mikes FD blades for months and swore by them.  Now I am not so sure.  Anyway thank for your input....  Danny  :+}

Hey guys....I happy someone posted about the Hegner Scrollsaw....
Does anyone have problems with the blade breaking directly at the point of where the Quick Blade Change Knob tightening screw makes contact with the blade.  This is the top of the blade.  I have had I'd guess a dozen breakages in the past two weeks.  Sometimes I can cut for say 30 mins. before it breaks and sometimes only mins.  I only use mostly the
FD-UR #3 AND 5 blades.  Any suggestions wud be really helpful.
                            Thanks....  Danny  :+}

I have a extra Quick Blade Change Knob given to me by my Lil Bro when he gave me the Hegner.  Didn't realize he sent it until I ordered a new one.  Want it?  Think u know I owned a 18 inch Hatichi (sp) and Now I Know where you got the tensioning habit.  Oh I can really remember them years!
I wud really say that my method of scrolling to me is where I shall keep it.

Hello Mrsn.  Loved watching your video's very much even tho I have been scrolling for many years.  My interest is since we both own a Hegner I was wandering why you haven't purchased the quick blade change knob that takes the place of your Shinny fine grooved knob.  I have found that the newer knob is really fast as compared to the original.  Second observation is why you reach all the way in back and check the tension on every cut?
I install the blade in the upper blade holder the exact same way every time and I only check the tension one time.  Was just wondering about whether I should modify my procedures or not.  Let me know.
