This is roughly what the ship is modeled on ... http://products.damen.com/en/ranges/sail-training-vessels/sail-training-vessel-3000 Though I should have looked at the piccies before starting :( The original details and plan came from this book...

For my latest project I decided to try my hand at a ship in a bottle. Trouble is a 30", 52kg Excalibur won't fit the 500ml Sloe Gin Bottle :) I made a jig for drilling 0.7mm holes in cocktail sticks by drilling a block of wood from the side and then cutting in with the scroll saw to provide...

The font can be downloaded here ... http://74.200.73.196/issue36/Sports-Plaques.php

You might want to add Gimp as well as Inkscape ... Also Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF's Microsoft Office is seldom required for Scroll saw stuff :) but whatever else you need it for will define which version you require Martin

Yeah - I know you can't find ply or pine sheet on the homebase web-site - I just see it in store at Derby, Kinsway...

try Hoobycraft http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/plywood-she ... 69136-1000 and http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/advancedsea ... ry=plywood

Hobbycraft prices are pretty high - but the quality is good - Homebase sell larger sheets of ply which work out cheaper but you need to check they are not warped - an 8'x4' sheet of ply from fletchers costs £18.00 which is by far the cheapest but they may charge delivery... P.S. Homebase also...

I use mostly ply - 1/8" or greater which can be had from Homebase or Hobbycraft. There's a timber yard in Nottingham that advertises bundles of offcuts on E-bay - but you'd need to search for them. For larger sheets of ply (8' x 4') I get mine from Fletchers Timber Yard at Station Road, Spondon...

My take on the cat - scrolled and carved

@BugBear - wood carving gouges .... :)

Seems some shops still have supplies of the Excalibur range - just none available from the web-site...

Looking at the axminster site seems they are discontinuing the Excalibur range ...

@AES - this site might be worth looking at ... http://www.freiburg-schwarzwald.de/kunst2.htm - although some of the articles are quite old ...

@AES It surprises me you can't find anyone it that area - considering all the clock makers. Have you tried looking over the borders - to Freiburg or Mulhouse for instance ? I used to live in Freiburg myself and often travelled down to Basel at weekends. regards, Martin

Crimson Guitars (google) have a series of wood stains - including white...

I cut the heart from 18mm pine using this pattern: Then cut 2 (stacked) pieces of 1/8 ply having drawn round the outside of the pine hearts. After gluing I used the dremel to sand down the ply top and bottom pieces to match the sides. As for the flexi-drive - I've used nothing else since I...

Tried making a heart shaped box as a potential valentines gift and here are the results... P.S. For 50 years I have been looking at Dremels thinking 'I could do with one of those...' finally got one today .... OMFG 50 wasted years .... Martin

I found some here ... http://intarsiabysteve.weebly.com/intar ... -pets.html

Maybe this one .... http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ai ... sor-501083

I don't have a router yet - it's on the shopping list but Ben Crmson Guitars swears by the Radian cutters and he certainly cuts a lot of hardwood ... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdD1Cq ... Ws1agg3tEQ
