I buy whole sheet A4 sized shipping labels on EBay, usually boxes of 100. Can't remember the price but pretty cheap. But, here's the thing, I always sand the face of the plywood to 420 grit before applying it straight on to the wood. When it comes to removing, a QUICK wipe with Turps Substitute, leave for 2 minutes if needed and then peel. Job done. I have noticed that if the surface of the ply is NOT sanded and left as is from the maker, when peeling the paper it tends to lift slivers of the wood. I have attached a pic of the latest piece I made. It was designed, printed, stuck on the ply (after sanding) and cut, pattern removed and glued up all in one day. I was happy with that as at 80 + years old I don't get about the way I used to. It is made from 1/4" Birch Ply and about 200mm (8") in diameter. take care and stay safe Don W

Great work. Well done.

Good to hear that Brenda. Good service from Axi as well.

Not a good start to the day methinks. How old is the saw Brenda ?? I don't know what the lever does but I think a piece of silver steel would be the cure. Hope you're up and running again very soon. Don W

Nicely done and a good suggestion from Brenda.

Great find Kevin and a great result from cutting. The back don't matter.

Incredible piece of work. I would love to try one of these but don't have the skill/patience/time/ideas/all round gumption lol

Great result Brenda. The new wood is definitely worth it.

Looking very good Brenda. Is this the laserply stuff ? Is it still causing breakouts at the back ? Don W

Hi Brenda, I use the Hobbies.uk site and find that their 'Yellow Pack' is Niqua They have all sizes (I think these are also the cheapest I have ever found). Don W https://www.hobbies.co.uk/tools/power-tools/yellow-label-fretsaw-blades-various-grades

I would use a sacrificial piece underneath and take my blade down to a #1 (even lower if needed). If you use the smallest drill that will do the job it will have to run as fast as you can get it and use a LITTLE pressure otherwise it will burn. Don W

Great cutting Brenda. You should find laserply a bit easier to cut than regular ply as it uses water based glue. When I laser burn it goes through this 3mm in just 2 cuts. Again, very good cutting. Don W

Always take the tension off (when I remember).

Great job Brenda. Well done.

Nicely done Kevin. I love the idea with the see through panels. A child could have great fun watching the pennies grow.

Yes, I use an aquarium pump. Everything is available at your pet shop/aquarium store.
