    Greetings, I think one of the problems you are having is that you are not using a good font compatible with scroll saw work. I think most computers have Freefrm 721 black or Scrollsoni. Check out those fonts and you can download and install other fonts from sites like DaFont. Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse

    Gee, Thanks, dgman, I would think that since I said "I didn't see any on Diana Thompson's site." the implication would be that I DID already search her site. If the reply isn't helpful, I thnk it is a bit rude when a serious question is asked. Thanks anyway and God Bless! Spirithorse

    Great work, Denny, Thanks for sharing. Does anyone reading this topic about the miniature bird houses know where patterns are available with the base on them so they are free standing? I didn't see any on Diana Thompson's site. God Bless! Spirithorse

    Hi, Chris (cmarsch), You can also dilute the acrylic paint so that the grain still shows through but, in my opinion, the brilliance or luster of the diluted paint will mostly be brought out by what-ever finish you use rather than the paint itself. For that reason, I would recommend a high gloss finish. God Bless! Spirithorse

    Nice work, Peter, I've alwaysliked that pattern and will probably have to search for it in my paper files to cut it sometime in the future. Thanks for sharing and God Bless!

    Hi, Rolf, I didn't see your original introduction to the site. I, like some of the other members, have seen your work on the SSWC site. Glad to see you here. God Bless! Spirithorse

    Great work, Rob, I sure wish wood like that was common in this area. Thanks for sharing your projects and God Bless! Spirithorse

    Hey, Todd, To fix your pattern, you could just scan the one you just cut! Nice cutting. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

    Beautiful work, Randy, I was going to say almost exactly what DW said. NOT just another coin! God Bless! Spirithorse

    Congratulations! I'd like to own a Hawk. Different people learn differently. If I had picked easy patterns early, I would have gotten bored and given up. On the other hand, If I had picked really hard patterns, I may have gotten frustrated. Just challenge yourself a little and enjoy that feeling from completing a nice project and be sure to show us some photos of your work. You'll get lots of encouragement and maybe some HELPFUL criticism to guide you but, never any bad remarks. God Bless! Spirithorse

    On full size sheets of Baltic Birch (I think 5' x 8' if memory serves me correctly) I make the first cut with a jig saw, knowing that I am going to have a little waste due to the tear-out. That cut is just to cut the sheet in half so I can now make the other cuts as crupiea said above with the scroll saw and the foot pedal. If you go slowly, you can really be very accurate. You may have to maneuver the sheets by cutting some 8" x 10" or 11" x 14" pieces for portraits out of opposite corners first so that you can cut across the full width of the sheet depending on the depth of your scroll saw but, to me it's worth the time. Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse
