made it from  Corian, both white and black are 1/2" thick.
size 6,25 x 9,5 "
weight = 3 lbs....
Corian needs no lacquer finish... so that's all
Stal is stable in dutch.

made it for a care farm, they have a big mess/canteen in a former Stable.
so this sign will help people to use the right door...

the two "cards" are called picto's and used in this care category for people who work on the farm.
the use plenty of different cards. the farmer's wife choose these two.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Hegner broke down

« on: March 03, 2014, 01:49:23 pm »

well you all,
tonight happened what I thought was impossible.
My Hegner broke down.
just gave it a little oil on the bearings of the arms, did blow of some dust and turned it back on....
dead.....
no sign of live whatsoever.....

checked the electrics, no problem there.

so I might guess blowing out the dust in the engine fan must have something to do with it?

so before I start dismantling the whole thing, I would like some thoughts of you saw guru's....

PLEASE HELP!!

Brag Forum / Brother in Law became 60

« on: February 09, 2014, 07:18:15 am »

Did made some presents for by brother in law, he became 60.
His name is Botte.
so made him a key-chain and a happy birthday project.
key-chain was made out of 1/2" beech bed bottom slats.
was to thick for the ring to get true.... (normally I use 3/8" and that's way better.)

The happy birthday was made from 1" thick radiate pine and 4x10" in size.
Dark grain in the middle looks like two pieces, but it's one piece.
wood is treated with some kind of vinegar for outside use.
(scrap wood from the new fence)

Didn't sand the wood, rough outside is modern in all kind of decorating shops.....
