I would recommend a laser printer. I have a Wireless Brother laser printer(DCP-L2520DW) that scans, copy and prints, I found it on sale for $100 about 2 years ago and still using the toner that came with it. The replacement toner for the printer is not very much either i have seen them for $50 and you get approx 1200 pages from 1 toner. Kurt

Dan, I am not sure about the fonts that come with Open Office as I don't use the program. Fonts are normally installed on the system not in the program so if the font is on the system then the program should be able to use the font. Did you restart you computer after installing Open Office? Kurt

Make sure you are downloading from www.OpenOffice.org Kurt

Here is another one for you. Kurt

You need to install the font. Most of the time when you download a font it is a zip file. You need to unzip or extract the files to be able to install the font. Right click on the file and go to "Extract All" make sure you select "Show extracted files when complete" just makes it easier to find the files. Extract the files and the folder with the font files will open, right click on the font file and select "Install" this will make it available in your list of fonts. Cheers Kurt

Tried them, hated them, haven't used them since. -
They say that you can raise and lower the arm with the upper arm adjuster(knob at the back) to use a different part of the blade. This is from the manual: "This saw has an adjustment knob K in the rear that can raise the blade mount up to 1†(25 mm). This allows you to fine tune blade tension when needed, as well as to reposition the saw blade at a point where you can use a different part of the blade in the cutting area. This also allows you to use a piece of band saw blade, cut to a length of 5â€- 6†(127-150 mm) in your saw, and gives you up to 3 inch cutting capacity when needed. Note: Do not over tension the knob as this can cause premature wear and damage to the machine." I have also read that it is best to leave the arm level, that's what I do.

Brad, What size are you making the sign? Do you want something like the pic below. I did this a long time ago, they just hang on the wall but you could glue them to a backer

Thanks Don, I missed that one. Spirithorse if you cut my pattern add a bridge in the R. I can fix it later.

Thought i would take a shot at this one.

Travis I think you need to keep this post at the top. You have already had 1 post that should have been in the Bragging Rights forum.

All these holes were drilled with a #63 mini drill bit
