LarryEA Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 Kevin said I should show pics. History is: RJW Lumber Company needs a new stencil to painnt on the sides of their outgoing lumber stacks. R. J. Williams Lumber Company sells finished hardwood by the tractor trailer loads. I have been getting most of my hardwood from them for years... FREE... their rejects but great for scrolling. Maple, Oak, Hickory, Beech, Walnut...etc. So they needed new stencils... The OLD STENCIL I used as an initial pattern... First one cut from 1/8 plexaglass... Some mistakes... I used this one to paint pattern on the next one I will cut Next one is 3/8 ply ... This one, when finished, will be stencil pattern I will paint on the last piece of plexiglass I need to cut. They wanted to change their stencil from thin plywood to plexaglass thinking the glass will hold up better and be cleanable. I don't think they willl be happy with a glass stencil because it flexes too much... maybe 1/4" plexaglass but not 1/8" .... Time will tell. Scrolling Steve and bobscroll 2 Quote

Ok ,Great you posted pictures an all look fine BUT now you have my curiosity as to the rest of your shop lay out! I know ,i know give me an inch and i want a mile.Oh , by the way ,You sandwiching the plastic in wood it the best option ever.I know this but not working in metal or plastic you forget these details.And tell the lumber company to spray the sign with pan or wd 40 once in a while to keep things from sticking to it, making it easy to wipe clean.Just my suggestion.P>S> Don't forget the shop pictures.I love your dueling saws!
