  1. Very well done Don. For a base I would cut a ½" irregular shaped base, bevel the edges and a minimum 8" longer in front and back of sleigh and reindeer. For paint I would apply a while rock paint (available at craft stores).Add some reflective flakes while paint is wet. It makes the snow glitter. Hot glue sleigh and reindeer to base. For reins I've used gold glittering thread like material, again available at craft stores. Very effective. Other than that use your imagination. You'll create something beautiful.
  2. It'll bring back for your father fond memories of yesterday's gone by. Very well done Jeff.
  3. Glad to hear you weathered the storm Iggy. Good luck with your sales.
  4. Very well done Todd.
  5. Very beautiful Rick. As a suggestion I would correct error by adding a couple of rock boulders. Difinitely worth salvaging.
  6. Awesome Rick. Very well done.
  7. Terrific deal Ike. You'll love the router table.
  8. Fabulous Ralph. Very well done.
  9. Very nicely done Pete.
  10. Very beautiful and well done Helmut.
  11. Beautiful inlaid work Dave.
  12. Very nicely done Paul. Could be wrong but seems to me I recall seeing this pattern in the Crearive Arts and Crafts magazine when it was still being published.
  13. You'll put a huge smile on your grandson's face Ralph. Very well done.
  14. Sorry Bobby. Try Stockade Supplies (stockade.ca). Type in their search bar 'saw blade lubricant'. It's a 8" x 1" wax stick priced at $12.95. It'll last you for many years.
  15. I use a blade lubricant available through Stockade.ca. It's a hard wax in a tube. I've used this for years and find it works well for me. Keeping the blade clean with a crepe eraser while cutting also helps. And last, blades are cheap so swipe out for a new one as soon as you notice you're having to exert more force when cutting. Your saw will thank you, all your cuts will be clean and sharp and last everything runs smoothly making what you enjoy (scrolling) more enjoyable.
  16. Terrific Peter. Love the pattern.
  17. Very fine scrolling Dan of a beautiful box.
  18. Awesome and very fine cutting Randy.

  23. 'WOW!!! Now that's what you call some real GHOST WORK. Well done.
  24. I use a dremal drill press most of the time, flex shaft the second most, dremal with router base on larger projects and sometimes a jewellers drill can be very handy. These are the items that have worked for me for many years and continue to work well.
  25. Congrats Jim. Infinite ideas turning scrap into dollars.
