This is a 5" box cut from Poplar it was in Scrollsaw Woodworking Magazine on page 50 of the new issue. The recommend 2" stock for the side walls but I didn't have any so I used 3 pieces of 1/2", I should have glued them together before I cut them but I didn't (Lesson Learned) It was impossible to glue them together and get them perfect, so had to do some sanding. Notice the top is curved, that really sets it off. When I first put it all together I thought it was ugly but then after rounding the lid, I had a smile on my face. Used 1/8" plywood for bottom and lid inside.

Looks good, did you round the lid before or after cutting it? what wood is the top or is it stained?
I am thinking of turning the top and then cutting the fretwork, just have to be clever with the pattern.
OOPs just figured it out while writing this. Let you all know how it works.Rolf

Rolf, I think it may cause a problem getting the pattern to lay right if you round it first. The rounding is what really makes the pattern look good. Good Luck.
I used Poplar for the top and stained it with Red Mahogany Spray Stain and then Laquer.

Okie, I will put the pattern on the back not on the curved surface and use my x-ray vision to see the pattern when cutting.
All kidding asside I will cut it from the back.Rolf

Reply to Hegnerby Dave56Has 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...-
