General Scroll Saw Talk / Coasters

« on: March 28, 2017, 09:35:46 pm »

I made a set of Coasters a few months ago with four hardwoods from Robert Ungars Youtube Video and sprayed them with Krylon clear spray. My problem is when I put a coffee or tea mug on the coaster the bottom of the mug sticks to the coaster. Does anyone have a solution or has faced the same problem. Thanks Jim

Where can I get this font?
Thanks   Jim

Hi
I wonder if someone has an idea for the special delivery pattern.
I need to replace the foot with something else.
I will use the rest of the pattern and also use the hole cutout for a insert.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Jim

Pattern Requests. / Puzzle pattern

« on: September 03, 2013, 10:45:04 pm »

I'm looking for a few puzzle patterns ( just the drawing of the puzzle ) for a 4"x6" and 5"x7" picture like on Steve's page, but with less pieces for my Grandson, He is two years old so 25 pcs would be to many pcs for that age.
Maybe 8 to 12 pcs or so .

Thanks
Jim

You could try using ( Goof off ) if they sell it in the USA.
It is made just for removing paint off of stuff.
It is safe on plastic and works great.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Boiled linseed oil

« on: August 21, 2013, 02:00:37 pm »

Thanks for the reply's
I took the project out of the sun.
I will try wiping off the excess oil with mineral spirits and then let that dry.
Before spraying.
Always something to learn. I didn't clue in about the glue being under the first layer of wood.
I have only used the BLO for solid wood before.

Thanks everyone.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Boiled linseed oil

« on: August 20, 2013, 05:17:05 pm »

I made a plywood box to hold a belt sander and painted on boiled linseed oil mix 50/50
I have been waiting at least a week for it to dry and not be sticky.I have used the mix in the past and it worked great.
I left the box out in the sun for two days now and its still sticky on some spots.
Can I put a coat of clear finish on it or do I need to wait till its not sticky.
I think some air got into the mix over time and its not 50/50 any more.
Likely some of the thinners evaporated.
