  1. No, I will use adhesive strips, they are very effective. I hang all my pictures with them 'Command Strips'
  2. have sent you a msg on here.
  3. I went looking for cat pair silhouette online, found this generic pic and put it through inkscape. I can send you what I made if you like.
  4. Going to visit my best friend next week and she asked for this. It's grey formica on one side and oiled wood on the other so she can decide which she prefers. To date she wants a pair but not sure which material. I love her dearly but goodness she can be so indecisive sometimes.
  5. It's going as it is onto my wall in the house. As my walls are 'cream' I find I quite like the effect. Haven't got a photo of it on the wall but here's one I cut out of wood that's already up.
  6. This had some kind of plastic film on both sides so I'm presuming that is what helped with the cutting
  7. Decided to try cutting acrylic and it worked out well. Although this was 3mm, A4 sheet of acrylic but it felt like cutting 6mm, you had to let the blade do the work. I used a #3 Niqua blade and had no problems with any melting that I had anticipated. So all in all quite a good experience. Not easy to photograph though as it's so reflective.
  8. Thank you all for your Good Wishes. I had a lovely quiet day followed by a great meal with friends.
  9. Simple, but always received with thanks. I cut 'memorial' paws for any of my owners that have lost a much loved pet. Not hard to do, but it's the thought that counts I guess. Unfortunately in the last year we've lost 4 from our 'Foxfold' family.
  10. There were no 'inappropriate words' used to find this. I realise they look nothing like 'you' would call a mop, which is why I said it's a cultural/language difference. These are Silverline 'mops' and use quite commonly over here. I've had mine for 3 years, never had a problem with it and it came from Glasgow. The type of 'mop' you use is not easily available here on this side of the pond. ! If you put 'Sanding Mop' into a UK search line you get something like this. ALL under the heading 'Sanding Mop' https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=sanding+mops&norover=1&mkrid=710-55006-18975-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=102&keyword=sanding+mops&crlp=_&MT_ID=&geo_id=&rlsatarget=kwd-81913743260470%3Aloc-188&adpos=&device=c&mktype=&loc=133631&poi=188&abcId=&cmpgn=373192669&sitelnk=&adgroupid=1310618064067262&network=o&matchtype=e&msclkid=6c011aeee6051abffa1c7f9319070056&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1
  11. LOL. It's a 'cultural' / 'language difference I suppose
  12. Having just done a piece for myself, see below, I thought that cutting it in something just as thin but more robust than plywood would be worth a try. So I've bought some 3mm black acrylic sheets A4 so that I can give it a go. Any 'tips' before I start ? This stuff doesn't come that cheap over here so I'd prefer not to make a pigs ear out of it if possible.
  13. I use a sanding mop in an upside down drill. It's 120 grit. Done this for a few years now and never had a problem. 20220530_121543[1].mp4
  14. Hello everyone. Finally after a year from Hades I'm back on my saw. It's been a roller coaster of a year which has meant that my saw has been sat in the shed alone Have missed you all dreadfully, but happy to be back amongst friends. Going to spend a while catching up on all the topics and getting my shed in order so that I can continue with my scrolling. My first cut in over a year, done just for me. 3mm ply painted black to sit on my cream wall.
  15. I haven't been in my workshop much this year and not been able to come to the Village much either, but I'd like to wish everyone A MERRY CHRISTMAS and hope the NEW YEAR brings you all good health and happiness.
