General Scroll Saw Talk / Hegner User

« on: August 06, 2012, 05:27:35 pm »

I have a question about my hegner.I have had my saw for years but up until just recently I never had to use a blade like a # 1,# 2.Now I am trying portraits and have to use a smaller blade.My problem is I put the blade in the bottom holder, I used the 0.5mm clamp.Now when I go to thread it in the top I can't get the clamp to close on the blade.Maybe I'm just weird or my eyes are going.I have no problem with say a #5 or # 7.What am I doing wrong, it drove me crazy yesterday so I switched to a # 5 and had no problem.Just the blades breaking because of the tight turns.Could it be the quick clamp, just thought of that?Well any help will be great.....Dave

General Scroll Saw Talk / Portrait help needed

« on: March 14, 2012, 09:15:28 pm »

Hey guys, well tonight I made an attempt at a portrait.By this writing you can probably tell it didn't work out so well.Well I'll start and you guys can tell me where I went wrong.I used spray glue to attach the pattern to the board.Then I taped 3  1/8 pieces together.Drilled a few starter holes and placed a # 2 blade into the saw.So when I started cutting, the lines kind of dissappeared. It seems the sawdust stuck to the tape and when the lines became narrow, I couldn't see them.Any help anyone can give will be great.I don't like making firewood.Thanks in advance Dave

General Scroll Saw Talk / Toggle Bolt Help

« on: February 22, 2012, 09:42:40 pm »

Hey All, I have a question that maybe someone can answer for me? Sorry its not a scrollsaw question. I am putting up shelves that hang from a main support bar and then the pieces come down that would support the shelves. I am putting about 200 baseballs on them. I think it comes out to about 125 pounds. In the main support I used 7 1/4 inch toggles and I have 5 3/16 cabinet screws in the beams.At home depot they said the cabinet screws were good up to 250 pounds.Do you think I should be all right.Any help will be great....
