  1. Ralph: Please do not set her on fire A backer would make it show up more, agree with Len Fab4
  2. Hi Dave: Personal opinion: Not crazy about the font used for Merry Christmas Should be easier to read Painted or stained??? I find Christmas items go over better when they are painted Paint the bells silver As mentioned above - your craftsmanship is top notch Fab4
  3. Hi Dan: You asked, so I'm sayin' When my thyroid acted up a few years ago my eyes bulged out of my head big time In time everything went back to normal Your reindeers seem to have a thyroid problem To me, the eyes are too big I kinda like the plain looking one - so no eyes for me If you stick with the eyes, give them a mouth too Still friends Dan??? Fab4
  4. Hi Don: You're welcome Thanks for letting/showing us it works Fab4
  5. Hi Dick Once you have your word set up Go to Path Then near the bottom go to Path Effects You will get a pop up window, click on the + sign and you get get a list of things to do I believe the one you are looking for is Envelope Deformation Does this ring a bell? Remember: Once you have your name written to go to Object to path Ungroup Union If you don't do this nothing will show up when you go into Path Effects
  6. Hi Randy I bow to you and your coin cutting Simply amazing Love it Thanks Fab4
  7. Hi Dan: I never cut vinyl either...........yet..........but I would think that the duck tape would be a chore to peel off after the fragile cuts on the vinyl...my 2 cents worth Worth a shot, though, who knows Fab4
  8. Hi Kev: Another thought Sandwich the record between 1/8" or 1/4" thick material This should give you 3 cut outs if it works I never tried this but it kinda makes sense to me Fab4
  9. Hi Kevin: If you Google "cutting vinyl on a scrollsaw" You will get the info you need I would have attached something to this message but there is a ton of advice out there You are right about the speed - I think it's a matter of what blade works best for you Applying the pattern would work the same on vinyl as it does on wood, I think Tape, glue pattern and tape again As for the mineral spirits, I'm not sure - I'll let someone else chime in on that one Would like to see what you come up with when you do get some cut Fab4
  10. Hi Dan Looks like a winner Well done Fab4
  11. Jim: It's right there in front of you Can't you see it................ SORRY JIM, Couldn't help myself on that one I don't recall seeing a compound ghost pattern Fab4
  12. Hi Kevin "IT HAPPENS" Fab4
  13. Hi Dan: Any plans on what you will be using it for? Fab4
  14. Hi Bill: If that doesn't fit her expectations there is something wrong somewhere That looks awesome Thanks for showing us Fab4
  15. Hi Scott: You are picking the right places to display your well made items Good Luck on the next couple of events Let us know how it went, hopefully the only music you hear will be from your cash register Fab4
  16. Hi Don: You can do much better than Walmart paint As mentioned above, if you're only doing bits and pieces than you can get by Americana Delta Ceramcoat Folk Art Apple Barrel are some that I've used over the years with great success Normally buy the 2oz bottles but for the colors I use more than others I buy the 8oz. bottles Fab4

    Good eye Don - Made me go back to have a look Fab4
  18. Hi John: I agree with Jim and Len A darker background on the lighter one would make a world of difference Well done Fab4
  19. Hi Newfie If you really are planning on keeping it I would try to screw a piece, possibly two strips of hardwood from the back You could screw it along the outside edge Another team would definitely solve this problem as stated above............LOL Fab4
  20. Hi Monti: If this is your first attempt, I can't wait to see what you come up with next Not an easy one to start with Agree will all of the above Well done Fab4
  21. Hi Danny: Well done $1.00 a piece........I say bring it up a bit Well worth it Fab4
  22. Hi Mimi: Along the same lines as Scott (posted above) Print using Inkscape and tape the pages together if you are in a real jam Multiple pages - Whatever is inside the canvas when using Inkscape, this is what it will print Hope you have it all sorted out Fab4
  23. Hi Kevin: I hope this is all legit Sounds too good to be true We are here to bail you out if needed Sorry, if I sound like a pessimist but there's a story here that we know nothing about. You would thinkthat they would have sold there stuff instead of just walking away Fab4
  24. Hi Casey: You are a quick learner and very good Thanks for showing us Looking forward to see more of your work Keep it up Fab4
  25. Hi Dick: Dan (dgman) said it best - go back to post # 3 Don't you ever ask us again for our opinion after SWMBO told you what she thought You trying to start a war???...............LOL.............just kidding!!! Good luck with your pesky daughter....lol As far as the craft show, I say "GO FOR IT" you may be pleasantly surprised You'll have to figure out what sells in your area - What sells here may not be as good as where you are. Looks like you're on the right track Fab4
