  • Heart Coaster

    Heart Coaster finished Monday, August 22, 2022. The pattern is by Charles Hand and found in the book "Circular Scroll Saw Designs". I enlarged the pattern so that it is a trivet or wall hanger. I used 3/4" Hard Maple about 8" x 8". Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using Pegas #1R MGT blades. I used #1R MGT blades to see how they would cut 3/4" Hard Maple. Very impressed. After sanding with a Mac Mop, dipped in diluted Shellac and lightly sanded again. Two coats of MinWax Lacquer clear gloss. Comments welcome.

        Very pretty. What did you dilute the shellac with?

          Thanks Betty. I dilute the Shellac with 50% denatured alcohol.

            Very good cutting, especially considering #1 in 3/4" maple. Impressive.

            When looking at the clock at work--the correct time is:
            Too early to leave, too late to call in.

              Thanks Jim. It was a trial with the #1R MGT and I was impressed.

                            Stack Cutting
                            by Eugene Downes
                            Like most of you out there I like to stack cut because I can finish more than 1 at a time. I've tried many ways in the past to hold everything together. I've used screws, hammer and nails, staples and clamps. The best and easyest way I have found is to use a brad gun. It leaves a very small hole and...

                            Search for a used hegner. Parts are readily available and their service Dept is top notch. My first one was a craftsman and hubby bolted it to the workbench it was on. Then I switched to a bandsaw than my Hegner 21 years ago....
