Hi, Workshop is open and renovations almost done. Cant finish the project fully as then there isnt anything more to fix ;). In meantime new stock of black hornbeam has arrived. Thank you Alex from Proper Plane for helping with new contacts!. Also smaller batch of real pear with very nice brownish color has arrived, will post some photos of that little later. As side product i will start offering also pen and knife blanks that are made for different cutoffs and wastes (boxwood, pear etc), if someone is interested can contact me directly but those will be listed on ebay mainly.

Hi Everyone! I plan to close Hobbymill.EU for about 2 months roughly starting from mid June for bigger renovations. Hopefully im open again from mid august. Trough renovations i hope to achieve shorter delivery times for orders and at some point add some new products. Plan is also to include family to manufacturing process to help me out a bit. In regards of orders i will stop taking in new order from end of next week. Of course i will answer up on requests but delivery dates will be in August. As development and new products i have ordered some black alder samples in 3 different colors. One of biggest thermowood producers is in Estonia and they offer A grade thermowood in 3 different colors. Hobby modelling, Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi, There are extra holes for moving pieces but you can always drill few more, plus the fixing "lug" has oval holes for moving. I would say its minimum size is few cm with some adjustments. Br Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi, Hobbymill.EU is yes open. Web ordering is closed and orders are handeled by email. Please send your request to hobbymill.eu@gmail.com Br Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi, Just noticed this topic. I cut most of hobbymill.eu with 80 teeth 0,8mm 80mm blade. For very thin pieces i use more teeth and slimmer blade (example 1mm). Adjusting feed rate helps a lot with cut quality. To remove burn marks put spacer on fence that ends little after blade meets the stock. Idea is what strip will be loose and will not get stuck between fence and blade after it meets the blade. Br Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi, I dont have any maple sadly. I think very light swiss pear might so something that you are looking for. Boxwood is yes yellowish. For white deck there is also option to use American Holly. Br Vahur

Hi all, There hasnt been any updates for long time . Some Clients have asked if im closing down the shop - not at all. I had issue where drumsander broke down and i was basically closed for few weeks. Luckily i learned thing or two about fixing drumsanders..... Regarding stock. I have plenty of Castello boxwood, Alaskan yellow cedar, black hornbeam and Swiss pear (different shades). Limited quantity of American holly, white hornbeam. Regarding Swiss pear. As have gotten reasonable amount of very very light Swiss pear. So at the moment there are 3 shades available: 1) Dark (Swiss pear - elsbree steamed) 2) Light/pink (true pear steamed) 3) Very light (Swiss pear - elsbree steamed) Photos below give better overview of the shades. Note that if you are building a bigger project where orders are divided into longer period of time then please let me know. Then i will keep named sample of the color i have sent You with the first package and do my best to follow that in future orders. As always all requests can be sent as PM here or hobbymill.eu@gmail.com Br Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi Jaager Ship modelling community is small and mostly consists of older men (no offence please!). Me being 36 years old and not even finished my first build im thankful to community for warm welcome and all the advice: advice and blessing from Hobbymill US Jeff, kind words and advice from James and Chuck, positive support from everyone from MSW. You have been supportive in MSW community with your deep knowledge on different topics and have been kind to share them! Please contact me via pm and you get the briar for free of charge, only cost shipping. Please note that i cant choose a piece, it will be what it is-i just find the box and take fair amount from there. br Vahur

Hi Jaager, There is indeed somewhere a box with biar (more than piece on photo, i just have to find that box). I just ordered it along with other spices as i have buddy who makes pipes. Sadly the quality wasnt good enough for him but probably is more than fine for deadeyes and blocks. I havent done anything with wood myself other than to cut it smaller to see if inside is good for pipes. Br Vahur

Thank you Christian

Hello all, Havent posted anything for a long time . First of all I would like to thank you all for the trust. Its very pleasant to see that 99% of Clients are very happy with their products. Secondly i would like to apologize for long delivery times. Its summary of holidays, being sick and moving to house. Im trying to catch up on those. Thirdly there has been so many orders/requests lately so i cant really understand whats going on. This created a situation where queue is 4-6 weeks as i only work on Sundays and evening as for me its hobby also. At some point i thought if i should close the shop as it just takes so much time from family. I have read stories about good wood suppliers closing exactly for the same reason. After thinking over it for a week i decided to make investment to bring shop to next level and keep up with the normal deadlines of 2-3 weeks. As a side note i run custom made metal facade factory on daily basis so setting up a shop something im use to. In nearest months + during the summer i will update the shop with some new equipment (machines, feeders etc) and also room layout to make it more efficient. Until then please accept little longer delivery times as usual . The webshop has been closed as most orders come in as email anyways but webpage is up there (not been updated). Sadly i have to say that i had to look trough the prices also as everything has gone so expensive starting from heating, saw blades etc etc etc. Regarding stock i have limited myself to: pear, c.boxwood, Alaskan yellow cedar, colored hornbeam, white hornbeam and holly. Cherry and other spices are might be available based on request. Thank you all again for trust and support! BR Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Thank you Healy Let me know if there is anything else i can help you with. br Vahur

Hi all, I have posted my Byrnes saws setup that i use to cut all the strips, it can be found under "Tips and tricks". Happy midsommer to everyone. Vahur

Thank you for the trust! Glad to hear you are happy, did you already try out the blades-they are little different than Byrnes. br Vahur
