You could try to get an update for Adobe Flash Player. I have Firefox as well and no problem, but I right clicked on the area where you got the message and selected "properties" and found it to be an Adobe product.

If you have a Woodcraft store near you, they carry it. Or online.

I'm just lazy, so I usually spray Lacquer. I spray 3 or 4 coats of Deft lacquer, in between coats I rub it with a piece of a brown grocery bag to smooth it out.

Brag Forum / Reindeer herd

« on: December 14, 2014, 04:15:38 pm »

I know many of you have also cut these, here?s my reindeer herd. All will be given away to relatives and friends. The hardest part was putting in the nose and the tiny screw eye on top.                                                               Pete

Very well done sir. I have that pattern, and if I ever get some patience, I will attempt it some day. Looks like 188 holes...

Pattern Requests. / Re: Would this make a good pattern?

There are too many islands, or areas of white surrounded by black. For example the tail and the left rear leg, if you cut on the line the inside of the tail and leg will fall out. You need to make some connections.

I have bought wood from the scrap pile at Rockler. Short chunks, end pieces, damaged items but never anything from the rack. I get some thicker stock from the local big box home improvement stores, and like others, buy thinner stock and baltic birch plywood from http://ocoochhardwoods.com/index.php
