    Not a clue Charlie.

    See above mate, or just go to "Community" at the top of this page and scroll down to near the very bottom and you will see it.

    To prevent or minimise this I always try and make sure the whole item is sealed "Lacquered", including the back. This prevents the moisture fluctuations.

    Jason, place your request in the"Pattern Request" section and you will probably get a better response.

    @RabidAlienKirk, just posted a beautiful project cut from a "Paper Cutting" pattern. If you are interested in finding these type of patterns to scroll, try searching for "scherenschnitte" in Google Images. You will get a lot more hits and variety then "Paper cutting". https://www.google.com.au/search?q=scherenschnitte&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj2ieLFl8btAhUiwjgGHT8pCYwQ_AUoAXoECAUQAw&biw=1920&bih=919

    That looks nice and a lot of work.

    Good stuff. A great team in making the drawing come to life and well done to the team of Les and his wife.

    @octoolguy Sure does Ray. My knees don't like it very much these days

    Beautiful stuff there Bobby, I do like colour. Speaking of mobile phones and email, The other day I needed to take some pics of a damaged piece of equipment at school to send to the manufacturer. Lucky my Grandson was with me doing work experience, I took the photos then handed the phone and email address to him and said, Do your stuff boy.

    At least you'd know roughly where they are, not have to crawl around the floor on your hands and knees for 1/2 hour and still not find them.

    I always use glue sticks on blue masking tape to hold patterns. They are cheap and last quite awhile and I have never had any problems with the pattern coming unstuck. I have the same problem when using pressure pack contact, it seems to be attracted to me and I end up with sticky arms etc.

    Gotta agree. Like an ashtray on a motor bike

    Mark, I don't know in which part of the world you are from, but it seems that the preferred timber for portraits in the US is Baltic Birch ply either 1/8 - 1/4" In Aust. Hoop pine ply is the best. Most portrait cutters glue their cut out to a black or coloured piece of ply, some time using coloured felt instead of paint. If you are uncertain about making a frame, a lot of people purchase a photo frame and make the scroll work the appropriate size. Hope this give you a kick start

    I have a laser pointer on my drill press, and it is about as useful as a hip pocket in a singlet. The drill bit points to where you are going to drill the hole, so the laser is just a poor duplication to try and earn brownie points and make a sale. It played no part in me making the decision to purchase my press, I wanted the variable speed.

    Super nice and great cutting. I would have to remember to start my Xmas gifts a lot earlier than I do though.

    Like the deco's with the mask and dunny paper, they tickle my fancy The others are good, and the Santa is going to be a winner.

    ONYA Marg, they are sure to become annual favourites. When we do the tree, the War Office reminisces over the decorations. Almost all have a special meaning.
  20. John B
    Now that's adorable. Not a real cat person, but that would melt anybodies heart. Well cut

    Very nice. Should be one happy customer. I used to make a good quid out of"Shadow Cats" designed to sit on door frame corners. Had a heap of various patterns.
  22. John B
    It is something I used to do many years ago with B&W Photocopiers. Could get a blue or red cartridge to replace the black. Don't know about now, sorry.
  23. John B
    For someone who can't paint you didn't do a bad job Marg. A bit of colour really makes the decorations stand out The kitten is a winner in my book

    Brings back memories. You very rarely hear of Kero these days. Our Big Box Shop (Bunnings) sells it by the litre bottle, and it's not cheap. Used to be able to get from the pump at service stations. When I was a young bloke on the farm, Our Tilly and Hurricane lamps used kero, along with the fridge. Even the Fordson-Major tractor ran on Kero. You'd start if on petrol then switch it over to kero and run it all day.

    Very nice Dick. I was surprised that you managed to obtain a piece, as I understood that there was an export ban on Kauri as timber. Obviously not so any more. This makes a great and very unique piece.
