I have tried many things, solid black wood grain contact paper, paint, Danish Oil on cardboard, luan, and Baltic birch. Now I just paint a piece of 1/8” Baltic birch and use that.
I use acrylic paints for some decorative pieces. I also use water based varnish over top. The water based varnish doesn’t yellow, so the colors stay true.
Not going to that one. I do have plans to go to the Fox Chapel one in May. Lancaster PA. Stopping in Baltimore to visit my granddaughter on the way home.
I have done it with varying degrees of success. They have layers and that presents some issues. They are brittle. I’ll take a picture.
I resized some snowflake patterns.
I’m going to take my plunge base apart and take those springs to my local True Value. (I prefer to shop local) They should be able to get me some springs. Thanks, you just saved me some bucks. Now I can stop thinking about buying that fancy-shamsy one!
I just bought a printer that was on sale at my local Office Depot that handles the large format paper and has a second paper tray for regular sized paper. I put my full sheet self adhesive labels in that tray. Kept the old printer for regular paper. Now I have a printer just for scrollsaw patterns!
Bear woods never answered my emails. I did order some 2/0 blades and they also kept breaking. I did like the Pegas blades. I gave all my Pegas blades away and ordered Flying Dutchman. Yes, I did like Flying Dutchman before. I will also use Olson in a pinch because I can get them at my local Klingspor’s.
