Thank you for your kind comment Matthew, I wish Mrs Scrimper shared your views about my gabbling on. Lol.

Great video John. The cold hands and 'plaster on the wrong finger' has tickled me.

Thanks Gary. I thought I would leave that bit in but I edited out a heck of a lot of footage to try to keep the length down, Folk get bored if the videos are too long.

Greetings… Glad to see you again. You reminded me to move my whirligigs in during this Michigan blizzard. Would enjoy showing you photos of those, inspired by you and your coaching. Always gain from you tips and tricks. Another early Christmas surprise. Many Thanks…Jim

Many thanks for your kind comments James. It's so nice to know that my videos have been of use, when I am filming I am thinking to myself that no one will be interested. You should see how much filming I cut out to keep them short, this video started at over 70 minutes with me jabbering on. I have to cut much out to keep them shorter.

Great to see you back John, and looking well. A nice, simple idea this one which could be adapted for all sorts of topics. Hopefully you have got your KZread enthusiasm back now. Looking forward to a few more videos. Take care. Col

Thanks for the Comment Blake, It's nice to hear what folk think of my modest efforts. I do spend quite a lot of time making and editing the videos though I don't plan or rehearse anything, I just set up the cameras and 'gabble' away.

Welcome Back! You've been missed!

Blimey John, that's a nasty looking little cut there mate, make sure you keep that clean well covered up. The project is a little beauty, and the candle trick is a good 'un! Cheers mate, good to see you back and a very happy Christmas to you all there.

I am used to cutting myself Mark, I think I am immune to most nasties now after the time I spend sorting out our septic tank. I must check your channel more often for some reason although I subscribed with the bell option I never get notified when you upload a new video.

Hi John. Thank you for this video. You are credit and I’ve totally enjoyed you video. How thick is your plywood, I’m a deaf scroller so depend of subtitles but they get in the way. I’ll have another detailed watch in morning and write note. I really like you using a candle to make sawing easier, what a good idea, thank you Norman

Hello Norman. Many thanks for your very kind words. The plywood used in this video are two thicknesses 1/8inch [3mm] and 1/16inch [just over 1mm] any size will do. Many thanks for watching.

Hi John....Great video as always but they are getting few and far between, As a fellow 'Hobbies' subscriber of the 50's and 60's more instruction and assistance from you would be great. Only joking because you probably have lots of other things to keep you busy. One thing I will ask is why and how do you put a wooden cover over the saw table. I have an Excalibur 21 and the table has gone a little pitted. Although I have not done much work on it I think I might make an 'Overtable' for mine. Any suggestions.? Keep well...Best wishes Chris

Hi Chris, many thanks for your kind comments. Great to hear that I am not the only person with an interest in the old 'Hobbies' company, we are few and far between. I have had a liking for Hobbies and fretworking since I was a little boy, both my dad and granddad were keen fretworkers, my granddad sold Hobbies stuff in his shop back in the early 1900's. As regards the over-table, I just used a piece of 6mm MDF (it's nice and flat) cut a slot for the blade and fitted some wood strips around the edges to keep it on the table, it just fits tightly over the existing table with no fixings needed. I do describe it in one of my videos.

Greetings from west Australia If I could I would send you some of our 32 deg heat .Anyway I will echo all the comments and say welcome back its been too long since we heard from you .Also have you fitted an electric motor to your bike I often wondered ? All the best for the comming year to you and your family . Tony

Hello Clownhall, no you won't find them they are images I 'doctored' myself but you should be able to find something similar that you can adapt. I am happy for you to have copies of the ones I used if I can find them. I did them on photoshop but not sure if I saved them after printing. If I can find them I will reply again.

Thank you John. Your site is great and I'm please that your so helpful. If you can send my your copies (if you still got them) I will be very grateful. I don't know what Photoshop is but my neighbour is very clever with computers. I was he,ping my granddaughter to move house over last 2 weeks and she has a couple drawer units which are years old. I instantly remembered what you said about using the plywood for scrollsawing. She is now giving then to me. Just watching your videos is very helpful. Thank you Normam

Norman, I have recreated the images for you. it's not wise to put email addresses on here but if you go to one of my websites you will find a contact page where you can leave a comment and your email address (only you and I will see it) I can then email the images to you. Not allowed to put a link here but if you search for Lainchburys of Kingham it should show up at the top of the sites listed.
