I am doing my whole family for christmas presents this year, so i have started early.. lol sad to say. sorry for the glare on the face. Hope yall enjoy

    I am sure that some of the scrollers here know this trick, but since i got rid of Ryobi and got a craftsman, the instruction book suggested that you put paste wax on the cutting table. Well i was like wtc is paste wax, and i found it a walmart, turtle wax bout 3 bucks I only put 1 coat on and the wood slides around alot better, and so much smoother turning the wood. Well for the ones that didnt know this,, there ya go. there are other brands, but i just got the cheapest. Hope I helped atleast a couple folks Jim

    Hey Paul My 2 cents is what others have told me, 1 is use masking tape or painters tape, to cover the wood first then spray the adhesive then pattern when done cutting just undo the tape and the pattern will come up with it. 2 is get some mineral spirits, bout 6 bucks at walmart not sure of the size bottle, but when u spray adhesive to wood, then pattern, cut, soak the left over pattern with mineral spirits, let stand 3-5 minutes, then rub off. Best spray adhesive to use is 3m, ( my opinion). i do the tape first then pattern, for the more detailed pieces, and use carbon paper (i bought from ebay) for the less detailed, just trace around pattern, and voila its on wood. Hope i helped some, i am still a newbie, but passing along advice i got Jim

    nitay, granpa, marshall, thanks for all the advice, will be printing these off today, if can get this printer working yall are great Jim
  23. cjswoodcrafts
    Granpa and Nitay, Thanks for the reply, Sad thing is this was my 2nd protrait ive started, first one was a pattern made by frieke of my father in law, I really do appreciate the advice and will follow the advice, need to print these off tg today is payday, buy ink. Gonna take another crack at it again in a day or 2, i think what messed me up yesterday is i used packaging tape to cover the wood and then spray adhesive to glue pattern on, thinking of just using carbon paper, may take longer, but when i glue it, pieces of the paper would come undone, and flap around like a fish when getting close to being finished on that one area. today is another day and its gonna be a good one, Thanks again Jim

    Hi all, i have been trying to do a portrait of my step daughter, when i got to the small areas like nostil lines, etc i keep messing up, ive tried a stright blade and a spiral, then i got to the mouth and the piece broke. I am about to give up on doing portraits and just do misc cuts. i see these patterns i have dled and i see some really thin lines, how do yall do them, even my smallest blade wich is about the size just big enuf for the blade to go into. and it still drills outside the line. Am i just being inpatient or doing something wrong? Help please Jim
