I did another craft fair today. It was an open air one held in the car park by an old castle. I thought you may like the pictures I took. I was the first one to get set up, which was nice and the day went well.

You have some very fine thing laid out. The scenery is great the weather looks nice. All the makings of a great show by the looks of things.
My mother (Hughes) is from Wales but I have never been there. You look to have a very beautiful country...

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes, it is a beautiful location. All my craft fairs are within 20 miles from home and this one was just a ten minute drive away. Croeso is Welsh for welcome. I sell loads of these. I am not Welsh, I moved to Wales from England over 20 years ago. The Welsh language is still very strong here and is beautiful, just like the scenery.

Hi Guys. Thanks for all the interest. I designed the letter names. I was making ordinary name signs and was thinking one day about something different and came up with the idea and in practice it worked fine. The letters on average are 7 inches high. Some letters need a stand to they stay upright so these are a little higher. The font I use is a lovely scroll saw font called scroll beach italic. I have used this font on the enclosed house sign.
Yes. I get lots of custom orders at every craft fair I do, sometimes its just one at other times it is quite a few. I did a craft fair today and had some orders for names with the big letters I am doing. I have enclosed a photo of a house name sign a lady ordered last week. I don't know what it means as it is in Welsh.
Yes, the locations are really beautiful. I am at another medieval castle tomorrow for the start of a 3 day event. I will take lots of photos and post them here at the end of the three days.Attached Files

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.
