It is my final design but I was inspired by one, much larger, that I have, made of metal. I think Intarsia is making images with different types of wood. That is what I did here. I know it is not much like other intarsia I have seen or done but it was a fun project.Hegner Polymax- 3,Hegner Multimax-3,

Jim -- Very nice!! I've a couple of questions. Did you make a full-size pattern? How easy/hard is it to work with mesquite? I have some, but haven't found the right project for it yet.Mtnman Jim

I found an image of an Acacia Tree on line and enlarged it to what I wanted in "Paint". I drew up the leaf pattern and stack cut them 3 at a time. They are 3/16" thick Mesquite. Mesquite machines well, a bit like oak.Hegner Polymax- 3,Hegner Multimax-3,

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.
