Cheers BP. 👍🏻 I was going to make a set out of Oak, but I got rid of the boat and don't need a license holder now.😃 The boat that I had at the time had sliding windows and the holders sat nicely on the tracks. When I revisited the boat a few weeks later the ply wood had acted like a sponge and soaked up all the condensation that collected in the tracks and the paper licence was just a blur of ink😂😜 All the best, Paul.

Pinned or pin less are the two ways of attaching the blade to the machine. With a pinned blade similar to a hacksaw blade you would need to pilot drill a hole a bit bigger for clearance so the small pin can go through the piece of wood. If you are just doing outside cuts then this would not be a problem. If you are wanting to do fine interior cuts you can drill much smaller holes to take the pin less blade. I am sure there are better explanations on the web.😃

I have a Hegner scroll saw and they are a fantastic tool to have. I got mine secondhand a few years ago and it was built in 1998 and had little use. They are very expensive, but if you can find a secondhand one going cheap then you should snap it up. If you do buy a scroll saw make sure it takes pin less blades. Scroll sawing is a great hobby. 👍🏻

I was on the Thames this week and this beauty passed me. The lady informed me it was from 1892. Fantastic looking narrowboat.

I thought Hammersmith bridge was closed?

Great looking boats.

I would screw up into the Oak.

Hi Martin, You should do a Vlog about the miserable bastards on this forum. You will get thousand of likes and subs. ?? All the best, Paul.

There you go Lady J, Go for both.

I am sure I have seen a wide beam that had both wheel and tiller. Would that be possible?

No butter, crispy bacon, HP Brown and Heinz ketchup. Perfect.

It is ugly, walk away, fast.

Stunning looking boat
