I don't know about the UK, but there is a peel and stick paper you can buy here in the US. Check out the link. http://www.sloanswoodshop.com/misc_.htm

Great cut...Well done.

Excellent work. The wood selection is right on.

I didn't have a chance to look at em in the store, they were out of them. I got a rain check. They should be in next week. Shouldn't be to hard to make a simple rip fence for cutting down plywood. I have different types of wood available. I can give it a workout and see how it handles. If there's any problems with it I can return it within 30 days. They have plenty of blades, I'll pick up an extra.

Those are great. I like the idea of incorporating metal into the design.

Looking to make my own frames. The problem is space and money. I came across this one at Harbor Freight. Seems to fit the bill. I can stash it under my scroll saw when not in use. The price is right too. I don't plan on making anything big, just some frames. Has anyone had any experience with this saw? http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-mig ... 93211.html

Began making an on the fly design using some scraps (cherry, madrone and purple heart ). Basically a small cross in a box. A friend came over and said it would be nice as a gift for her husband who will be ordained as a minister. So I added a base, business card holder and burned in his initials. The card holder was part of a free pattern from Steve Goode. Finished with wipe on poly. If nothing else...It's different.

Thought you might of hit the lottery Glad to see you back

Yep...Those will work on ply. The MDF depending on the adhesive might dull em up quick. If you want to have some fun...Make a puzzle out of a coin. The quarter was cut with a couple of FD-SP (superior puzzle) blades. The jewelers blades will give you a tighter fit. You can also use some blade lube to cut down on the friction/heat.

These are traditionaly used with a handsaw for cutting soft metals as in jewelry making. I looked up the tpi for that size blade and it listed as 70 tpi. This is a very fine blade. As long as it fits in your scroll saw it can be used. There are scrollers that use these in making puzzles and fine details on thin wood. The problem arises when trying to set the tension and overheating of the blades. Too much tension and they will snap when starting the saw and overheat if the speed is too high. What are you thinking of cutting with this blade?

Had this site saved. Didn't remember if I posted it before. These are designed for liquid stained glass art but would make great intrasia or segmented patterns. http://www.glasscrafters.biz/CTGY/pat_fr

I cut 1/4" baltic birch ply using FD-PSR5 blades. For really close detail I'll use FD-SP(puzzle) blades. I found the PSR5 blades do great for not only on 1/4" ply but I've used them on 5/8" Madrone, 1/2" red oak and recently 1/2" purple heart (fairly hard woods). I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that you are not living in the U.S.(name of the saw and referring to mm). I don't know what blades are available in your area. I would suggest that you go either to Olson or Mike's site (FD blades) and check their "blade charts." You will be able to cross reference the blades suggested against whats available in your area. You are looking to match teeth per inch, blade width and blade thickness. The blade charts will also suggest what type blades to use on different woods and thickness. If you want an example of the types of cuts done with these blades, check out the galleries of the different scrollers. They usually indicate the type of wood and blade used. At the bottom of their posts there is normally a link to their galleries. Have Fun!

Well done. Those make great gifts.

That came out awesome.

Great cut. Frame is perfect for the subject.

That's great. I like the way you connected the letters. Excellent cut.

Paste wax helps a lot. It's also great for preventing the table from rusting. I had spilled some water on my table after a cut and the next day had some rust spots. I apply the wax before cutting and before I put it away. I just don't polish it off when I put the saw away.

Great cut. I'm guessing that was done on a scroll saw. I would polish the silver, spray with clear laquer (to prevent tarnishing). Maybe a red velvet backer and a dark walnut frame (my 2 cents).

Kudo's for providing a great gift for the boy. The piece looks excellent.

I use clear packing tape on the wood and then spray the back of the pattern. Never had any problems removing the pattern after. My suggestion would be to scrap that piece and cut a new one. If you attempt sanding you run the risk of sanding thru the top layer of the ply. Attempting to remove the adhesive now might only make it worse. Just not worth the aggravation.

Never did business with em...Based on the above I would call and ask for the phone number of their corporate office and ask to speak to their VP! Document and explain to them the problems you are having, especially the rude customer service person (you did get a name?). You might need to follow up with a letter detailing your experience also. Like the old adage, "the squeaky wheel gets the oil." Good luck

The symbol on the gong is "chop sticks". The symbols on the top of the sticks means "good food". Chinese writing is not my strong point I gave it a shot anyways

Applied the k.i.s.s. principal on this one. I did raid the wifes jewelry making supplies for some wire and metal beads. Finished the arch with dark walnut danish oil, the base with light maple stain, the gong and chopsticks with a natural stain. [attachment=0]chop1.jpg[/attachment]

Signs came out great.

Great work...Excellent detail.
