    E-Mailed Gayle her reply was as "We closed the door to the Cafe a couple of years ago - I don't have enough time to be there all the time to watch for spammers etc. With Connie on sabbatical - it is keeping me busy! I don't believe in being a member of anything, unless I can contribute in some way - and for that reason I don't belong to other sites. I try to answer any Emails - and if someone is interested in being a member of the Cafe, I have set up accounts for them, but they have to email me with the info - screen name etc. I don't have the time to leave the door open and try to weed through the 'undesirables' that always seem to slip past" Also "If you know someone who is wanting to join us - feel free to give them my Email and have them mark it ' the Scroller's Cafe - so it doesn't get bumped to the junk folder." I'm not putting her e-mail on the site if there are genuine people wanting to join I will sea what I can do No Promises And if there a rush No Chance. ***Merlin***

    Susie: very nice indeed. One way too do an end grain board, is to have all the blocks cut the same size and have fun gluing up. It's a tedious job but the end result is well worth it. ***Merlin***

    Paul thanks for the patterns that you have done so far. I for one have a desire for NZ Bird Life, that I personally wish too do, if I can sell some so much the better, but as Kevin has stated money is tight and not many people buying. All my work is done on recycled timber/lumber and when I have to buy it it has to come from the cheapest sauce available. I have just brought 10 door panels 10 -12 inches in width about 2 foot long 1/2 inch thick at $2 a board, so I can do a few portraits of birds. But then I will take what ever you design if I think I like or can sell it. ***Merlin***

    Travis is correct with the Glue sizing I do it when I cut MDF and it works well. After you have painted the edges with the glue sizing leave over nite to dry then paint i n the normal way. Your guys white glue is Elmer's me thinks ours is PVA. ***Merlin***

    The cutting was quite easy really it was held in place by two pieces, so was a bit flimsy in that respct. But nothing that a bit a tape couldn't fix. Thanks for the pattern I love van Gogh's work. Merlin

    Pattern by Vector01 Skull with Smoking Cigarette a van Gogh painting from 1885 I only temperately glued the skull to backer thus is why it slipped, the original was black background skull painted brownish color, didn't like that so left this one grey primer. Merlin

    I use white (cheap) painters tape cause I'm poor.LOL Then use a stick glue, works fine. But on the more delicate pieces I make sure I use the Blue (delicate) tape. Merlin

    I just use the printer options. First I "Save Image As' then go to where I saved it, double click the image/pattern, that takes me to Windows Photo Gallery, I then click CTRL-P to access the printer options, from there it's a matter of choosing what size etc, etc, etc. Hope that is of help.

    Well I broke my ankle last weekend (some how), so shop time is limited. I have been standing while scrolling so when I do get back I may have to set a stool up to play around with one of Mr Sweets puzzles (opossum). Merlin

    2cents worth here on spirals I can't seem to get used too them, So to do a wide vein I first cut with the usual/normal blade then use a 2/0 spiral to open the cut. The spiral just seems to follow the first cut, but be mindful don't let the consertration wander the spiral will get away from you. Merlin
