Hegner Update

[Wichman]

Ordered the saw 3-17, delivered 3-23. Under a week, holy cow!. Assembled and running on the 23rd. Finally had some time to start cutting test patterns. I didn't have the table squared to the blade, but fixed that tonight. One of the things I cut uses a sliding dovetail 1 1/2 inches thick, so I cut some test ones in material just under an inch. Stacked 3/16" 4 in the stack so 12/16".  The curvy thing is a "sky hook" a balance toy to amuse the kids. Some pictures:

Sure looks like you are having fun with the new saw.  Congrats.

I'm glad you are happy. The Hegner is a great saw and will outlive you, more than likely. I'm in the hunt for another one. I figured that I can spend as high as $250 for an older one that needs the updates. They will come to about $250 with shipping. There's one out there with my name on it.

I would love to make a sky hook, where did you get the pattern? Anything to amuse the kids...

HI

Congrats on the purchase, I have had a hegner for many years.  Try the new pegas blades, I really like them.
