  • A couple of quickies

    From Kathy Wise in the holiday issue of SWWC. The snowman is redheart and aspen and the reindeer is lyptus, redheart, aspen and Brazilian cherry. These were a treat to cut and a nice little change of pace for me.

      You did these Kevin? Wow. I'm impressed. They are very nice. It just doesn't look like your work. You are really getting versatile.

          Those are so cute (and nicely made). Kevin, you're a source of continual surprises.

            Thanks all!
            Cathy, these were quite easy to do. If you like intarsia, my suggestion is to just pick something you like and go for it! Actually, that's pretty much my suggestion for any type of scrolling. I figure the worst that can happen is that you goof and create some nice firewood but the lessons learned along the way are invaluable.

              Kevin's right Cathy...The little Teddy Bear I posted in another thread was my first attempt at intarsia and even though I had to hand sand it all it was a fun little project!!! So much so that I bought a dual shaft flex sander so I can do more (it arrived yesterday). As Kevin said, jump right in and do it!! Don't be afraid to do something new and different with the saw. Now that my book is behind me I've been trying a lot of new stuff and having fun in the shop. (The book started to be a job rather than a hobby there near the end and a lot of the fun and relaxation of scrolling was lost to "gotta get it done")!! Intarsia isn't a difficult process, it just looks that way before you get started. Once you get rolling on an intarsia project it's hard to leave the shop even for a cup of coffee!!! Try it....you'll like it.
              If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

                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...
