    Thanks again Don, but I don't get that result. When I open Inkscape then choose Import I get this screen (I hope it shows)

    Hi All, I am sorry to be back here again with this problem. I have not successfully managed to create the grey pattern with a red outline. I am sure I have done it before and I have been looking back through the forums and it comes up numerous times but I have not managed to do it lately. I am mostly using Alex Fox patterns and they come in multiple pages. I would like if someone could walk me through the process and stick with me until I get it right. Any volunteers ?? Please. don w

    I have used a product that my daughter found on Amazon. It is short lengths of Velcro about 2" long that are sticky backed and I stick one (sometimes 2) on the wall and the other sticks on the back of the art wall piece. It then sticks up on the wall and easily removed. You could also sell it with the velcro to recoup that expense. I will have a look and see if I can help. don w EDIT I have had a look at Amazon UK and in Home and Kitchen I entered wall hanging velcro. This brought up what I have used.

    I have made up much the same setup and it works well. I am sorry I had to give up for so long (almost 2 years) but am slowly getting back in to the scroll saw with help from a good friend. Hope you get back soon. don watson

    I don't know what these pieces would sell for as I have not sold any. I did enquire at the local chess club but they were not interested as they can only use the 'Staunton' pattern. Individual members may be interested but it would need to be on a one to one basis. Sorry I can't be more help. don w

    I bought the Axminster saw AP535SS a couple of years ago but I bought the stand CODE:501271 Axminster Professional Scroll Saw Stand at the same time and I am glad I did. The machine sits at the right height and angle for me sitting in front of it. Sorry I can't really help but I would try for the Axminster stand if it is possible. Good luck. don watson

    I have an exhaust fan in mind for this project. When the machine arrives we will see what is needed. I say we because I have a friend who visits on a Thursday morning and he has already cleared out the workshop/garden shed and built a table just the top to put on and level. don w

    Thanks for the advice Don. I am trying to get used to a new laptop that is running Windows 11 and it just enforces the reason I had to use Linux for the past 20 odd years. I went to the Microsoft Store and downloaded a free PDF Reader and tried it on the first of the designs that I have and it works as you said. Thanks Again don watson

    I have a few Alex Fox patterns and would like to ease my way into cutting them using the scrollsaw. Most (if not all) of these files are PDF's and are 5 or 6 pages. How can I print each of these pages to fit my A4 sheet ?? Anyone ? don watson

    Thanks Scrappile I am already lost to the dark side and am waiting on a new laser cutting/engraving machine to be delivered. I have a friend from the Kirkcaldy Men's Shed comes to visit on a Thursday and at the moment we have decided to build a model wooden fishing boat that we have plans for. don w

    Thanks Marg, I am glad to get some time outside now. I have a new laser cutting/engraving machine on order so I hope to get to grips with that soon. don

    Very well done Kevin. I like your setup and I am waiting on the delivery of an Atomstack A20 Laser Machine. I wanted a machine to cut 5mm plywood as I intend to build a small model wooden boat and it was taking a fair bit of time to convert the drawings and paste them on wood and then cut them on the scroll saw. I thought/hope it will be easier and quicker. don watson

    Wonderful choice of pieces. I like the Venetian set very much. I cut the Kings for the San Francisco set and the Canterbury set just as an experiment to see how it would go, of course I then had to make a clamp set to hold the pieces etc. It was a very start and I may get back to it someday. I think I cut the White pieces of the Canterbury set but never found any wood to suit and then illness caught up but I am determined to get back to it. As I said, a very nicely crafted set Well done. don watson
