Many thanks for all the replies woodies.

I am making some wooden toys out of pine and jelutong that I want to colour, but don't want it to rub off or wear off. What would folks suggest?

My "fused motor" turned out to only be a fuse and once replaced, it is working perfectly now. I went to Carba-Tec who said the fuse probably was a result of pushing timber too big through it and not...

Very Nice work Bob, Im just starting in Intarsia - youre an inspiration.

Hi Budgi, have you investigated Jelutong (don't know if it has another "common" name) as a timber. It is very consistent in grain, no knots, not that expensive and can be cut easily with bandsaw into...

Thanks for feedback. I'm still committed to purchasing a Hegner, just wish they had a faster feed mechanism like the excalibur (General now I believe).

I have had a cheapie scroll saw which was great for many years, I decided to update to an Excalibur 21" and wish to replace it as I am not happy with it. I am thinking of a Hegner, but interested in...

Tried TREND and CarbaTec and TEKNA TOOL (NZ) and there is just not one to be had new and without the key the chuck is useless. I am trying to get it for a friend who bought a woodfast lathe with the...

Tekna Tool in N.Z. sold their last one 2 months ago.

I have recently returned from Scotland - a few weeks in Dumferline, East Wyms and a few days walking around Loch Inish area - perfect weather and lots (and lots) of Pooridge, hence my interest in a...

Thanks - an interesting site

I saw them both on woodturnigz site in USA - fairly expensive, but I know the process is time consuming and somewhat difficult and the price must reflect this I guess.
Bob (Tennyson)

I know it is a little late seeing that Winter is over - but thought I'd like to turn a wooden porridge bowl and thought someone might have already done this and might post some pics for ideas and...

I found cool blanks with coffeebeans, also laser inlay scuba diver imbedded in acrylic - expensive when postage from USA - does anyone know where these can be accessed in Australia?

Many thanks Paul,

Thanks Pan713, do you know if the book is downloadable (purchasable) in pdf format? - I would like to see what the "walking pig" looks like - if it is a slope walker / trundle toy or a pull a long.
...

Michael,
Thanks - the comments were very helpful.

I will post some pics of the roo walker I have made in a few days, may give some ideas to others.
Kind regards,
Bob

I have a cow and several types of kangaroos, but would like a duck / chook / farm anilals if anyone can help? There are...

I am wanting to build a tool rack for my tools in a new workshop and like the idea of French cleats.
I am interested in what others do? Any opinions (or pics) would be appreciated.

Folks I am setting up a tool rack for my tools in a new workshop and like the idea of French cleats. At present I have nails in a sheet of MDF which has worked well for 10 years, but having watched...

Many thanks an interesting (but rather complex) arrangement. I was hoping to get something quite simple - maybe have to come up with my own design?
Bob

Many thanks. The table stool I was hoping to get plans for enables the scroll saw to bolt infbront of the seat and whole lot folds up once the Scroll Saw is unbolted. Thanks anyway,
Bo

Could anyone assist with a link / site or plans for a folding table/seat for a scroll saw please. I am wanting something portable I can sit on with ss infront.
Many thanks Bob
