Phil,
Thanks for the welcome back. I have the kitchen scale, but I have never played with dyes on wood before and wouldn't want to mess the real one up. I could play with that on the practice one at a later time. Thanks.

Welcome back anyway. I wish I did have a suggestion for you.
The only thing I can think of is to go with a wood dye or something. But wood dyes are very messy. And you need to measure things like 1.00 oz. so you need a digital kitchen scale.

OT-I'm back
Hi Everyone;
I have not been able to access this site since before April. For some reason my browser blocked me and search engines wouldn't let me on either. I hope no one else has this problem. The withdrawal symptoms are terrible.
I have finished a practice piece of the wolf head portrait that is in the SSW #19. I used 1/2 plywood, scraps from a neighbor building a new home. It came out pretty good. There was some breakage with the plys, but since it was a practice piece I didn't worry about it. I have ordered a piece of 3/8 walnut to make a new one for my grandsons graduation on the 17th of June. The schools logo is a grey wolf and school colors are a royal blue and silver. The walnut was the closest I could think of to a grey wolf. I don't know what to finish it with, since I don't want it a dark brown. Any suggestions?

by RolfI periodically get asked if I am still making the kits. The answer is yes.
I get a private message on the forum to which I reply but suspect new people to the forum don't check for a response.
So please, if you have sent me a PM check for a response.-

Reply to Hegnerby RolfThe 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...-

Reply to Eccentric adjustmentby RolfI 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.
