I was offered some quantity of this type of product recently. I know the finish is hard, and may eat up some blades. It seemed a shame to toss. Anybody have any comments on this? Thanks... Bob

Is it prefinished hardwood or laminate flooring?
Any wood that is free is good wood. There are tons of smaller projects you can do with wood flooring.
I can see lots of nameplates for desks, toys for kids, trivets.
You may even want to run it through a thicknes planer or a bandsaw to make the pieces a little thinner.
Laminate flooring is hard, but blades are cheap. You could make some nice candle sconces with laminate flooring.
If the worst thing to happen is you go through lots of blades then you cant go wrong. I still havent used the bamboo flooring I got but I will let you know how it goes once I do. It should be soon, I have to make a birthday present by the end of the month! I am thinking of a candle sconce with chinese figures cut in the bamboo.Last edited by CanadianScroller; 09-14-2005, 02:07 PM.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

I chose the wrong word.
I meant lanterns
like those from Scroller Ltd
There is also a nice wall lantern with a free pattern in Workbench Magazine May 2003 http://www.workbenchmagazine.com/mai...-lighting1.htm
They use metal inserts for cutting but the laminate would work for that too
I just finished one using 1/4 wood instead of metal and made it solar powered using a $5 garden light. I beefed up the rechargeable so it works dusk to dawn.

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.
