    Default Sawing Horses

    Always been scared of going near the saw. It juddered all over the place! Until someone refused to go and buy some earrings that i gave her the link to and insisted that I make them! thought id test out my vallorbe blades that had been sitting there for months and had a go...
    Well chuffed! Truly converted and cant get enough of sawing!

    They are pretty good for some one who is scared of going near the saw well done, I was looking at my jigsaw in the shed the other day which has not seen a piece of wood for years, wondering how hard it would be to covert for piercing
    or is that cheating

    Thanks Tess. I used 4/0. I read some where you only need 2/0 and 8/0 but i had these left of my cheap crappy ones so used those first. Ive got some vallorbe ones for my next go.

    How big are they? that's a lot of horsy detail you've crammed in for studs. Probably the worst animal to saw. i could imagine one lapse of concentration and there goes a leg.

    Theyre little. At most just over a cm. of all the things i try first it’s a tricky delicate leg thing!
    Why not jump in at the deep end eh!
