I've done some of Alex Fox's layered patterns. I painted the layers, but I was making gifts, not entering a contest. How about doing both and then deciding?
That is very neat. I have a similar pattern, maybe the same, but I have not gotten up the courage to try it. They also take quite a bit of wood, and I am quite cheap!
Well cut. Another project for my Nephew's garage. Thanks, one more pattern added to my hundreds. Well for $2. Why not. Found a free converter from SVG to PNG. Much easier than using Inkscape. Now I can resize to what I want with "SplitPrint". Also much easier for me to use than Inscape.
After reading @Matt B's post, which he was writing, what I was doing my response, You may not need an activator all the time. I went to the site he listed and did some reading.
CA glue works. Yes, you do need an acitvator. I have read of some that use a mist of water as an activator. I have never tried that. You have to be a little careful with it. It can do damage if it "goes off" on your skin.
I have purchased this tape and used it. I like it. I have used it to hold stock for stack cutting and it worked well. I would not use it to hold delicate pieces. Probably would break some pieces getting it apart. Make sure the wood is clean from dust and sawdust before using it.
I do not see where you can buy it in sheets. Sounds like it would be great for making things outside, like bird feeders and birdhouses. I wonder if it becomes brittle when exposed to the sun for extended periods.
A couple of little bird feeders I am finishing up. I need to get some polyurethane to spray on them. So I haven't glued them yet. They are not very big About 8" by 10" at the base. Pattern from Winfield Collection. One for me and one for my daughter.
You can download the manual from here. I do not know about the saw, but the answer is probably in this manual
