    Painting the wood after it’s cut is the common way of doing this. If you want to trace the lines on before painting or cutting, I would use graphite paper.

    I use Steve Good’s clamp and a skiptooth blade.

    When I trace a pattern I like to use graphite paper instead of carbon paper. graphite is erasable (pencils have graphite in them). Carbon paper is ink, not erasable. That way you can lighten or erase the lines.

    I am currently bevel cutting letters that are 3/4”.

    We recently went to a Rodeo. They had barrel races. Your great granddaughter is 5 (five) years old? great cutting!

    You are only limited by your own imagination. Just try.

    Just copy parts of the pattern and overlay and tape it together. I use a window and scotch tape. It’s not hard.

    I have a Scrollnado. It is hooked up to my DW788; and a small Festool vacuum. It works keeping the dust down. I fiddle with the hoses to keep it inline with the cut. I do cut in my house. Spare room, ripped out the carpet and painted the floor. My sanders are also hooked to automatic vacuum. My big tools are out in a shop.

    It was a good time. I am glad I am back home. I am TIRED!

    I would resaw first. It’s 1. The natural order of how this thing is done. 2. SAFER

    I would use skip tooth blades in this situation.

    The foam is causing the vibration!

    Fun fact, Tyler lives in NC. He is a very nice person!

    I use scraps for many projects. I would at least look.

    I get most of my trivet patterns by browsing Steve Good’s site. Some are snow flakes. Some are other things.

    I “borrowed” some True Oil from my husband to try it. I bought a large bottle and will now be using it on most things I make! It doesn’t smell! It looks nice! IT DOES NOT STINK!

    I really like them!

    I didn’t have this issue on an Excalibur, however it is common on a Dewalt. the solution is: Unplug the saw. Put the switch in the on position, blow the switch out with compressed air a couple times. Try again. If/when you get ir working again, hook up an on/off foot switch and cover the switch with packing tape. Seal well. I hope it works for your situation.

    It is quite interesting. It’s fun to experiment now and again!

    I buy my frames from Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, which ever one has the discount at the time. They come with glass.

    Those whiskers! Fantastic!
  23. Roberta Moreton
    That is beautiful!

    I dip mine in danish oil and let dry for a couple of days. I frame mine behind glass. I do not add a top coat. Where do you find this non reflective plexiglass? I have never heard of it!

    You could also add other sea life onto the board as overlays. Steve Good has a few that might work even if you have to reduce the size of them. Just throwing ideas out there.
