cutting the 3/4 in mosic

[Dragonkort]

well i started cutting out the 3/4 inch mosic and so far iv lost 3 of the teny tiny peaces to floor and i cant find them anywere. spike said he will look when he finishes doing up the taxes. If there findable spike will find them. He's a retired prison garud and hes search many a cell for wepons and other things the prisoners werent suppose to have. if we cant find them after i get everything dried fitted together i will TRY to trace around the hole and hopefuly be able to make replacement peices..if that dosnt work i'll try to see if i can salavge any of the projects one way another and if i cant well then we will just chalk it up to gaining experence. lol  I do however know one thing i will NOT try to do another one until i get a 0 clearence made if we dont have plexis glass i do have 1/4 in plywood i can try to use.  The only reason i havent made one already is because i didnt have a pattern and as we know i cant draw but i have a large roll of tracing paper now and maybe i cut off a large portion of it and tape it to my saw table and trace around it to get the pattern. all is not lost though..I have 3 sets of the first armor of God wood paper dolls cut ready to sand and paint and i have a box of compound cut and waist to carve up...and thats just in the woodworking lol hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!

OId credit cards work good for 0 clearance. I never remember to sweep the area clean before i cut a project everyday. Less pieces to look thru!!!

Thanks Kevin!!   I remembered AFTER i messed up the project that in one of my scroll saw mags it mentioned putting a busness card ,or thin peice of cardboard over the hole to make the 0 clearnce lol but i think an old credit card would be even better!! im sure it will last longer the the cardboard did lol so im working on finishing up the few projects iv been working on and then trying to cut one of the mosaic again.  I dont have any 1/8 in wood, as the book suggests 1/8 and 1/4 in wood... so im trying to decided weather to just use 2 peices of 1/4 in for the project or maybe 1/4 in for the backer board or 3/4  inch wood for the peices.  I have my first armor of God project cut and painted now i just have to find where i put my magnets so i can add them to the top of the boy and then to the backs of each peace of armor. These will use polyurthine on and i finally finishe carving and painting the compound cuts and there waists.  Theres some plant pokes and some i'll make into magnets and the rest i'll set in the finishe box lol these i'll use the left over expoy reisn on after i do the other side of the dragon house sign.  I have so many things i want to make!! lol and never enough time to work on them  lol Things are getting better again now as i got my bowtox shots on the 1st so can work a little longer on things before i have  to stop. Were still waiting on the wheel chair....I have a ton of things i need to get from hobby loby and i cant wait to go to the 2 thrift stores in charllote where i get most of my craft supplys lol I still have to go to my brothers house soon to because hes giving me moms walker and her cane. I dont need them to walk with but walker and the cain have seats on them so i can sit down when i need to.  Now that its getting warmer I can use either the walker or the caine to use to take the dogs for short walks around our yard. we have an acer even though  were in town.....perfect for the country girl i am and the city boy spike is ....not that the village of bellevue is any where near as big as chicago wherehes from lol  and i HAVE to get backtoface book and watch more of that vido on the cnc machine. Icant believe im STILL on the first one...but heyi have more time then anything elselol sorry if some of the words on here on runone...my space bar seems to be sticking and i dont always catch it  when it dosnt giveme the space between words like is suppose to...have a great weekend!!!

well for some reason i cant long into the fourms menue.  I can get in every where else it seems just not into the section forum and its list of rooms.... I wanted to ask a question i put oxpey resin on the dragon house sign awhile ago and it was fine.  well since we dont have a way to hang it yet i put it on the enclosed front pouch so it was out of the way and nothing would happen to it.  well i was in the front pouch watering plants and i noticed it had slid a little bit off the table now when i picked it up to readjust it i discovered it was sticky....on both sides.... it wasnt sticky when i put it in there.  we've had a bit of a cold spell the last few days here but it dosnt seem to me like cold would make it sticky,,,,wouldnt getting to hot do that?  we brought it back into the warm part of the house in hopes that that will fix the problem.  even if it dosnt it still looks good so when we get the pole or what ever hes decided to use to hang it with we will just hang it anyway.    was just courious if this has happened to any one else.    im keeping busy but havent been abale to put any pictures up yet because i had to sand the armor of God dolls back down to the wood  and im repainting them. i had tried to put the left over expoxy resin on them but they didnt come out very well and i didnt have enough expoxy resin to do the backs.  i repainted the arms face and hands of the boys and will start on the pants and shirts when those dry and now i have to go see if i can find the pattern for them so i can trace the faces back onto them to paint.  im also waiting for the cnc machine to warm up as paul says im ready to try to cut out a circle.....i'll get everything all set up but BEFORE i turn the machine on to cut i'll leave paul a message letting him know the settings i have input and a picture of the cnc machine and the wood and see if things are set up correctly....im so excited!!! lol  and of course i still have like 4 things i have to sand and put backers on lol  sorry i cant look at everyones projects but i still cant get into fourms i had to his the notifacation bell to get in here
