          Depends on the mood,

          Right now, I have no space and feel confined. I don't like it and spend less time.

          Soon, hopefully, I will have more space and will get to enjoy it more. (To be continued)

          Regards,

                  Shop Time

                  During the summer months I'm lucky to get in the shop once a month. I do a lot of design work out at the camp in the summer and then spend about 6 hours a day in the shop in the winter cutting and staining what I've drawn. I was able to spend a few days in the shop this past week because we had to be home due to an illness in my girlfriends family. I do miss my saw in the summer!!!!
                  If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

                    I normally spend 20 - 30 hours a week in the shop plus another 5 or so designing so you didn't have my choice listed there. It gets worse when I have a show coming up, I've put 35 - 40 hours in over a weekend getting ready (I work a regular job as well).

                      for me Pete. I wish i could spend more time, but my hand wont let me scroll as much as i would like, but then when i have a project, poor hubby, ask me if i am ever comeing in I'll put a roast in the crock pot, and he is lucky if he sees me for days. I have many hobbys, but this one holds my attention most the time. the only thing that holds me back sometime is my hand, after many hours of cutting, then i just have to stop. or die. LOL. sometimes i have to wait for my wood, and then mill it, then try to keep it from warping, then it is wood-loc time, and then the waiting again. I have many projects i wish i could do befor my time here is gone, and i get obsessed with them. I wish I would have had a saw in my younger days, but now i am old, and i have to do what i can do while i can. when i am not scrolling, or gardoning, I am in here talking about scrolling. now i am trying to break a filly, got on here last night for the first time. what a sweetie. now that might hold me up alittle on my scrolling. we are trying to get are horses ready for packing next year. and i am excited for that too. sooooo, I think I should start scrolling at night. poor hubby. but then he is a woodworker too.

                              I try to go every chance I get so it depends on what is happening or if I take a sick day and the only medicine to get better fast is shop time, or what I'm working on, or how tired I am so I would think the average is 6 hours a week.

                                The Hegner like some other saws have a sweet spot or not so sweet spot where they may vibrate. I know they need to have a solid footing.
                                When we were younger (2005) we used to bring our saws to our club meeting in an old barn with wooden floors. The seasoned scrollers all had Hegners. The rest...

                                I assume you are talking about changing the stroke length. Looking at the manual it says you can shorten it for cutting thin wood and or metal. I have never known anyone that did that. We have several Hegner owners in our club. I am not one of them.

                                Has anyone replaced the eccentric on the Hegner scroll saw or made any adjustments to this part.
                                I bought an used Hegner m22 and it vibrates at about 3/4 speed. Maybe I'm just over thinking this problem, last year I purchased a multi cut 3/25 inch Hegner it is a single speed and it runs like a...
