Oges Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi Rita and Mike and welcome to the Village. How lucky are the both of you to live in the country of the Hegner scroll saw and Flying Dutchman scroll saw blades. Do you own a scroll saw yet?

Rita Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks for all the 'welcomes' and I will start with our first question ... has anyone worked with 'slate' ... We are surrounded by the stuff!! Apparently, it seeps minerals into the vineyard soil to produce world famous wines, so we have it in abundance here ... just wondered what it would be like to work with (what sort of blade). We appreciate further questions will be posted in the appropriate section. Happy New Year to all .. Mike & Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike & Rita Hi Mike & Rita Mike from Flying Dutchman scroll saw blades would be the one to talk to regarding this. I have seen round scrollsaw blades with diamond encrusted in them, not sure if these are available or what sort of price they would be. Maybe his jewellers or metal cutting blades could work too. Anyway best shoot an email to Mike and ask him You can find him at: http://www.mikesworkshop.com/blades.htm will see a link at the bottom to send him an email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
