  1. You can definitely just use shellac.
  2. Dainish oil already contains OIL, this means the color already changed.
  3. This is what I have seen on the Winfield site. I have not tried it. I might try it instead of the contact paper. I have decided never to use contact paper on a fretwork project in 1/8” plywood again! I usually just use spray adhesive and stick directly to the wood, minrtal spirits to remove
  4. It sounds like a Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts pattern EDIT I just checked that magazine. Not it.
  5. I have not seen Polly wood. When I cut plastic, I cover it with clear, removable shelf liner first. The cheap stuff removes easier. I would try that.
  6. Steve Good design It was NOT fun! I know it’s not a car or a motorcycle. It IS transportation. Let’s assume he is transporting motor bikes.
  7. I also teach beginners, this is an excellent project!
  8. Excellent!
  9. This months scroll saw club challenge was useful. I wanted to make something new. I have phone stands, iPad stands, oven pulls, boxes and baskets…. i wanted a new clock! The clock stands 19” tall and is a Steve Good design The clock was made with 1/4” walnut and I finished the body of the clock with Walnut tinted Danish oil, the scrolled embellishments were dipped in natural Danish oil. I know it’s not perfect, I am still happy with it. I don’t usually do this type of thing!
  10. I struggle with compound cutting. I think this thread will be very helpful!
  11. I like that!
  12. I also typically only paint one side of the backer. That might have added to the stress. Maybe..
  13. It was nice. I received flowers!
  14. Typically I use E6000 to glue the backer and I weight the piece down.
  15. A long narrow board fastened to the top of the wall with cup hooks screwed in along the length of the board. Put an eye hook and cording in the top of the ornaments. That can hold a lot of ornaments.
  16. I had a piece of 1/8” plywood warp. It was about 10 X 18”. I got it wet, layer it on some towels and weighted it down by putting heavy stuff on it. The next day it was fine. I cut my backer out of it. Painted it and glued it to my project. The next morning it had popped off of the plaque I had glued it to and the plaque broke in the process. So, can it warp? Yes! Can you fight it? Well, you can try!
  17. That’s a great pattern and beautiful cutting!
  18. The horse is great. I REALLY like he flying monkey!
  19. I am impressed! When I want something bigger, I usually take it to the copy shop. They can make things bigger easy.
  20. I agree, boxes sell! Dave Your boxes are beautiful!
  21. That’s pretty!
  22. I use both. Different blades for different reasons. Widening a veining line, cut with flat recut with spiral to make it more defined. Feathers or fur is beautiful with spiral. Project is too big to get that certain area, use spiral. Letters always get done with flat blades. Thick wood gets flat blades.
