    Hi Ralph. Attached is the Bunting Bird pattern (10 plates). Start by tracing the registration marks at the top left and right onto your wood. Starting with your first plate cut across each registration mark (see sample with dashed lines). You want to do this for each plate. Once you have the plate positioned exactly tape down with masking tape. Then tape the wood indicated to the back in the grain direction indicated. Drill your starting hole and cut counter clockwise. Make sure your table is tilted one degree to your left (do a test cut first). After you’ve done with the first plate glue the piece in. Continue doing the same with the remaining plates. Very important each plate is lined up 100%. When you have completed your final plate sand your project with an orbital sander using 120 grit sandpaper. Apply finish. Email me if you have any questions at rw53.Johnson @sasktel.net

    You are correct. For instance the bald eagle there are 20 patterns each called a plate. Each plate have two registration marks at the top left and right (oversized cross signs). So when you begin you first take the first plate with carbon paper underneath positioned onto the wood secured with tape. What you want to do is transfer those two cross signs accurately onto the wood. Now you have registered for each following pattern or plate. For every plate you are cutting a different piece of the pattern selecting the correct colour of wood and grain direction. You’ve done well cutting the mouse so you are definitely on the right track.

    Thanks Ralph. Start out by taking a small piece of scrap ⅛” thick. Draw a shape. It can be a circle or whatever. Take a second piece of scrap of the same thickness and tape it to the back of the first piece so it’s underneath the shape you drew. Now drill a starting hole anywhere on the line. Next tilt your table 1 degree to your left. Now cut out what you drew going counter clockwise. When you’re done the top piece is waste and the bottom piece should fit in fairly snug protruding above a little. So now after you glue that piece in just sand it flush. This is what is called double bevel cutting. After you’ve practiced cutting a couple you’ll then feel comfortable cutting a pattern. When you’re ready let me know and I’ll forward you a pattern of a bunting bird. Sample attached.
