Hi everyone
Scrollsawing is becoming a passion in our household, since I bought HWMBO a hegner saw earlier this year. Getting plans and ideas to build up skills is easy enough, and I have bought a number of books to get him going, however, the really tough thing is to get thin enough material to work with.
Where do people get their 1/2", 3/4" material? Most timber people seem to only supply 1" upwards. He's tried working in ply, but that doesn't give a particularly pretty result. He's also tried cutting wood in half, and that presents problems of its own with warping and bowing. He doesn't have a thicknesser yet. Is this the solution?
The second question is where do people get their longer than usual drill bits. We tried one made in Maryborough in Victoria, but it flexed in the drill press and the resulting hole was not as accurate as he might have expected. Obviously the longer the bit is, the more likely it is to flex. Any answers?
