Did my first show of the season on Sat. Since I do alot of shows throughout the year at this particular place, I told everyone that for the "Christmas in July" (Shannon and BobD note - Christmas in July!! LOL) show I was going to be taking orders for delivery on 11/17. Well, so far I received 5 orders to be picked up in July!!! I did this mainly to get the people who come to a show in November and want 30 angels or 8 baskets, or whatever. I will be sending out emails to my regular customers and will see what happens. The lady who ordered 30 angles from me last year wants at least 30, or possibly more, birdhouses. She will be there in July to pick out what she wants. Hopefully, this is going to be a good year. At least I'm off to a good start!!!

"taking orders for delivery on 11/17" is a great idea I had never thought about before. That could really be the profit linkage between being able to make X amount during a week and only being able to sell x at an off season show on a given weekend.
Do you charge the full amount or just a deposit when they order?

If it's something I always carry, I usually don't charge a deposit. Most of the people ordering are my regular customers and always call at the last minute for a "basket or 5." If it's something like the dragon or clock for $180, I require a 50% deposit. If they cancel before I start cutting, deposit returned. If they cancel after I start cutting, they lose their deposit. Don't have time for people changing their minds. This will be made very clear and they will sign on the receipt for deposit acknowledging this. Anything personalized will be paid for in full before cutting. Must be paid for and/or picked up by 11/17, otherwise it goes on my table. I still have 6 large shows after that date so I know I won't be stuck with anything. I thought it was "brilliant." But that's just me!! LOLBetty

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.

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...-
