Thanks to another turners generosity I have now become the owner of a hegner saw. Can't believe the difference between it and the old one I had. My reason for wanting one was to make parts for a series that Mo and I are doing at the moment, something that proved impossible on the old one but the 'new one' cuts like a dream. Had to have a play and see what it is like to use so did a couple of quick pieces. Never having done this sort of thig befores I am reasonably hopeful that I will be able to get the hang of it.
A big thank you to my donor.
