Hi John. I enjoy all your repair type videos and would vote for the longer versions with more details if you have them. Much more interesting and informative than what is on the box. Thanks. Col.

You are very kind Col. I have considered doing alternative longer videos as I do throw away service information that might be useful to interested parties. On the other hand other viewers will be bored if the videos are too long.

Superb and interesting video on the Hoover Junior 119 again John . Love your attention to detail on servicing and replacing parts . I totally agree with the colour or the furniture guard and the cable not matching the colour scheme. I haven't got a Hoover grease gun so I try to force grease into the bearings and split the agitator bearings to clean them and put new grease in . The metal circlip that holds the bearings together I have got off to an art now to displace with the use of a bradawl, I try not to lose it though with wrapping the bearing in a rag ! . Excellent videos again

thank you for your very kind comments about the video. I do agree that those circlips are fiddly to remove. I do film a lot more information and much of it I edit out , this video started out as a 38min one which I edited down to 17mins. I hate leaving what seems like useful stuff out but if the videos are too long people don't watch them. I have considering doing an additional longer version for people who are interested in the subject but not sure it would be watched.

Very interesting video scrimperuk

Hello Conor, thanks for watching, It is very many years since I fitted a braided hose (known by Hoover as a compoflex hose) that I barely remember doing one, I do remember they were glued on with some special adhesive that you had to heat up to use. by 1964 they had been replaced with the double stretch hose that was held in place with clear glue (bostick) and twine.

Hi John, enjoy your vids. For the matter of a basic scroll saw I would like any suggestions. I have a chance at a Sears, a trademaster and some Dewalts. Any suggestions would be great. What I usually do is buy stuff and later learn its junk . any help please.. Merry Chistmass

Hello, before you buy any scroll saw I would suggest you watch my two videos on the subject, link to part one is below. Basically it depends what you want to do on the saw, if you want to use it for basic woodwork cutting out smaller things than a bandsaw can cope with then one of the cheaper saws will suffice and don't pay a premium for a brand name because often they are the same as the cheap ones with a 'posh' name stuck on. Beware there are a plethora of cheap poor quality far east made saws available, some with 'premier' names such as the once great company "Record" on them but they are all based on the aforementioned cheap machines, they are often cast iron and so look capable but using one for fretwork will drive you crazy. If you look at pictures of these cheap saws you will notice that although they look slightly different and are painted different colours underneath they are all the same and probably made in the same factory. If you want to do serious fretwork with lots of internal cuts then you need a decent machine that enables you to remove and replace the top of the blade easily and quickly. I have a Hegner which is excellent in this respect but they are expensive to buy. I also have a British made Diamond which is to quality but the blade change is dreadful. I would also recommend getting a saw that takes normal fretsaw blades rather than pin end blades or at least one that be converted to do so. I can't really say much about other brands as I have no experience of them. If you want a decent saw and don't want to pay the new price it's better to but a decent second-hand rather than waste money on a cheap far east made machine that might put you off fretwork for life. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4iN2daEdbjToZM.html You will also find videos on my Hegner saw on my You tube channel.

The only problem with WD40 is that people think it it is a lubricant which of course it is not. It does help in keeping things moving but is not a replacement for proper grease or oil.
