Hi from Cape Town, As strange as it may sound we do not have a inexpensive range of water based primer available in South Africa. I would like to have opinions on just using quality pva paint to prime my mdf before spraying. I have had to turn to pva to save money and must say it works well as far as i can tell ( most likely answering his own question). I work quickly and cannot wait for the length of time oil based wood primers take to dry. Does plaster primer work as claimed on the interweb?

.This piece includes real Ostrich skin and Ostrich eggshell. A clay bowl with real Ostrich eggshell mosaic filled with black grout and mirror pieces on the edge. Here is a wooden bowl with real wood beads on the edge and Ostrich eggshell finished with two colour grouting. I carved this head using a painting i did as a fourteen year old for inspiration. This Two rows of wooden beads to finish off the clay bowl. Loved doing this a combination of eggshell and craft tile on a wooden bowl. By now you should have figured out i have a theme to these pieces, lol. All hand carved from rare wood. This was my very first attempt at wood carving.

Greetings to everyone here from drought stricken Cape Town, South Africa. I found this site while browsing for scroll saw blade prices. I am a commercial artist ( in the old school sense ) but due to health problems had to stop working. However this has led me into woodworking, something i only started in my very late thirties. I swopped a old router for a new Marlett scroll saw, still cannot see the diff. between it and a Ryobi but for the name stickers, and i have not looked back since. Most of my work is MDF based with the occasional hardwood piece. I will post a few pics of a wide range of work i have done. Hope to be able to contribute to forums in the future.
