    That came out great. Did you make your own pattern? Good job.

    Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Looks like you kicked him out of your workshop! Nice work.

    I use the same ink roller being an old printer.

    Had not thought of lacquer thinner for thorough cleaning. Thanks

    You've done a dynamite job. The cutting looks superb and I love the pattern. Who makes the pattern?

    I was cutting a pattern by Grampa. I was using 3/16" underlayment without a backer. It is not a difficult pattern but the tiger's whiskers are quite fine. some are little more than a couple of blade widths apart. All went well until I was cutting some of those. I will still use the underlayment for many things but I decided to determine how thick is the veneer on that wood. I saved a small piece that flaked off. Here is what I found The piece consisted of one layer of shelf liner, pattern and veneer. the total thickness of the little sandwich was ..0220. Subtracting the thickness of the shelf paper .0034 and the thickness of the 50# pattern paper .0040, the remaining left for the veneer is .0146. That is why it is cheap. I don't know how thick the veneer on quality BB is but it is substantially thicker as well as free from imperfections. Kinda ruined a great pattern. Looks like Woodcraft, here I come.

    I waxed the table quite well but it still did it. Not a problem for me. My friend's son-in-law is a paint and body man. He would probably shoot it with clear coat if I asked.

    I can't use magnetic coverings as my table is aluminum. Aluminum scuffs the back of my wood. It is just what aluminum does. Powder coating would be nice. I can live with the scuffing on the back. Machining a lot of aluminum used to make my fingers black. Just sayin'.

    I did the 50/50 BLO on them today. The frames are my usual fence boards trying to save the knots wherever I can. One is 1/4" real BB from Woodcraft, the last piece I had. The other is the sacrificial 3/16" underlayment. I thought is looked OK, knots, grain and all. Just as easy to make two frames as one when you make them at the same time.

    I love it!

    If you think I was fast it was Mahendra that was fast! I sent a pattern request Tuesday evening after 9 pm. I had a pattern Wednesday so I started cutting Wednesday afternoon and finished Thursday. Remarkable people on this site!

    Over the years I have been on a lot of forums because of varied interests. This is the friendliest I have ever been on. Just stick around, we need you here!

    A wonderful pattern by Mahendra that perfectly captures the character of the shepherd in the picture. Framing happens tomorrow.

    Yhank you Roly. That was mentioned here somewhere but I really am not equipped to do that and besides after six I was finished!
  24. Rockytime
    You've done that very, very well.
