Hoping someone can help me out with a dog portrait. The problem is the picture is not very good quality as it's from Facebook and I can't get a better quality picture. I just need the dog not the stuff in the background. Thanks Kurt

You are not alone on this one. I have done it as well. I bet we are not alone.

Once I finish the "Honey Do List" I am going to put the finishing touches on this sign and hang it up on the house. Not sure how it will stand up to the Canadian winters but it was a fun project. Then I am going to to try my hand at a couple of dog puzzles, cant wait to start them.

I started out with a Mastercraft but the things kept breaking. I went through 4 of these saws before I finally asked for my money back. My next saw was a Dremel 1800 not bad but the vibration in the thing was horrible. Found a used DW788 Type 1 for$125 and gave the Dremel away. Liked the DW so much I found another one for a backup saw. Loved the DW's until I came across a hardly used Green EX21. I managed to talk the guy down to $350. This is the saw i use the most now and love it. I still have one of the DW's as a backup but still use it when the weather is nice and I want to scroll outside.

I installed the DRIcore in my shop and it made a big difference. I also put some laminate flooring on top of the DRIcore that was left over from a job. It can get pretty cold up here in the winter so anything I can do to keep the heat in and the cold out helps.

I tried the Elmers once and had the same issues. The pattern kept lifting, I didn't even finish the can before I went back to the 3M.

I am using version .91 and have the Birds of Paradise font installed. I am able to use the font in Inkscape. You can still download version .91 from the following webpage. You Just have to make sure you download the correct file for you operating system https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.91/platforms/

I did a search and found this website http://www.dndsawbladesonline.com/ hopefully it's the right one.

I ordered some blades from there a couple of times and never had an issue shipping to Canada

Well i just checked King Canada's website and the scrollsaw they have listed doesn't look like the Excalibur http://www.kingcanada.com/Products.htm?CD=85&ID=34

I have to agree with Rob. Excellent

I have the same issue occasionally with my Dewalt, haven't had the issue with my EX yet,

Use the Member Map. There are a couple of people down that way.

Couldn't agree more. Cheers Kurt

I use the 3M Super 77. I tried another brand once and the pattern kept lifting while i was cutting. I never have that issue with the 3M

Alex, Can you share the name of the store? Thanks

Steve Good has some plans of a jig for compound cuts. This is what I use. http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.ca/2012/07/scroll-saw-compound-cut-clamp.html In his instructions he shows drawing lines on the wood but i just attached the pattern to the wood and cut it. Kurt

Len, the space between each plaque is 4 inches.

Took me awhile to complete this one but I finally got it finished. Hopefully I can sell some. Kurt

I don't wear a mask but Steve Good did a review on a Totobobo mask back in 2011. This one looks interesting. Here are the links to it http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.ca/2011/09/totobobo-dust-mask-quick-review.html http://totobobo.com/index.html

When you download a font it is usually a zip file. You can usually right click on the zip file and extract the files, this will create a folder with the font file you need and sometimes a read me file that will tell you all the legal stuff. Right click on the font file and select "Install font" this will install the font and you will be able to use it in whatever program you are using. If you have a program open when you install the font you will have to close the program and re-open it for the program to be able to use the font that you just installed. Kurt

Maybe put a link to a website/picture so people can help you figure this out.

I have to agree with DW laser is the way to go, don't waste you money on inkjet printers and the ink. Laser printers are much more cost effective. If i buy a toner for my laser at approx $50 and has a page yield of 1200 pages that's only 4 cents a page but i could save even more if i buy a high yield toner for $75 that prints 2600 pages so it works out to just under 3 cents a page. If i do the same for my inkjet printer it was around $25 for the black ink and the page yield is 400 so its around 6 cents a page. I would have to buy 6 inks($150) to 1 high yield toner($75). So on 1 toner i would save $75. Also keep in mind that toner doesn't dry out if you don't use it like the ink always seem to do just when you need to print something right away. I know these are only averages but you might want to invest in a laser printer if you do a lot of printing. Oh ya these are Canadian prices. Kurt
