Chris, I think your comments about PayPal are a little harsh. I've been using PayPal for several years and have made a great many purchases without any problems whatsoever and have rarely heard of any bad reports. Their security is very good and I feel confident using their system and wish...

In fairness its a vast country and is not surprising that many of the patterns are aimed at the domestic market. I can't really see English scrollsaw designers making patterns of baseball, shark hunting, buffalo, moose or kangaroos. Having said that, if you pick and choose a bit there are some...

Thank you for your kind comments, much appreciated.

To protect it, yes it'll certainly need that, but when you start to apply a finish it'll make the 'low viz' grain really pop and jump out to you . . . . bet you won't be able to resist a grin when you see what you've made :wink: Personally, I think your cars would look great with just a...

It's a great looking car toesy although IMO I prefer the original without the initials. Can I ask is this is the finished article or will you be adding a finish? A few coats of yacht varnish would give a high gloss honey coloured finish or maybe a satin varnish might be better? It would...

Its called Intarsia smoggy. Its where you create a pattern using different woods to get a fabulous contrast. If you want to have a go you might find this useful http://www.woodworkingformeremortals.co ... arsia.html

A fine piece of work. Very well done. Barry

What a great idea . . . . we have a cat's Action Trust just down the road. I could stack-cut a load of moggies for them as opposed to popping in there with my old junk!!

I keep 'handy/useful' sized offcuts in the fear that if I bin them I'm gonna need a small piece "just that size" next week :shock:

Brilliant piece of work toesy. The design and woodworking skills are both to a very high standard. Very well done. When you get some spare time maybe you ought to consider offering a design service for your friend's vehicles :twisted: Barry

Great work Philip. It slows a lot of skill and patience. Well done :wink: Barry

Whoa, that's extraordinarily kind of you toesy. I've reread the thread and assume you mean if Chrispy (in Oxford) has some off cuts or spare I can buy from him? If so that is a very generous offer and one that I would be very happy to sign up to. Well, we woodworkers are a nice bunch of peeps...

Thanks for the link Peter. I visited this firm a few years ago to buy a couple of full sheets of ply (10mm I think) and the stuff they tried to palm me off with was as warped as warped can be. When I refused to accept them they eventually let me go and choose my own but the whole lot was...

Indeed it is Steve, I have several of her designs which I'm working my way through. You're right, she's also a lovely girl too.

I made a few names for two of my grandchildren as Christmas ornaments Barry

Whoah . . . . what a brilliant suggestion. Many thanks. I'm in West Wiltshire so not far from Oxford. I can certainly wait. PM me when you're ready and I could arrange to relieve you of some offcuts and buy some off-cuts. That's very kind of you. Barry

Many thanks for the SLEC link Dave. I'll have a wander around and see what they have on offer. Barry

Many thanks for the link Brian, much appreciated. Unfortunately I was after much thinner ply than was discussed in the thread but thanks for the head's up :wink: Barry
