General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: How to put finish on latest project
« on: March 16, 2015, 01:46:30 am »
I do what Danny does but I use a chip brush from Harbor Freight to get into the crevices. I also use tung oil instead.
Lately I've been using a shellac diluted with denatured alcohol mixture (2-3 coats) before the tung oil. I will sand with a finer grit each time in between coats. It leaves a much smoother finish. There are some woods that "weep" so I keep wiping them until they no longer "weep"
Thanks for the pipe cleaner tip. I'm always looking for ways to clean out the crevices of extra oil.

Should one put "feet" on the trivet so the heat can vent under and not let it be concentrated in between the cuts?

This looks like a Charles Dearing pattern. He has one that looks exactly like this.

Thanks guys!
It was a fun little project. My nephew enjoys carrying his toy tools in it. Now we need to come up with some more tools to fill it with.
I never thought about making it for little girls but that's a good idea. I could paint some flowers or butterflies on it. I may make a few for the toy drive at our woodworking club. Thanks for the idea.

They turned out very nice. I too hate to cover up pretty grain. The only time I'll paint them is when I use 2x4's. Even then some of the 2x4's have some nice grain.

I couldn't get the PDF file uploaded so this is a scanned copy.
The measurements may not be exact so you may have to do some adjusting. I simply had an idea as to what I wanted and went from there. I really didn't have exact measurements except for the length and width of my boards. The bottom will be a tad shorter than the sides. You'll need to subtract the thickness of the sides and ends so it fits inside. I used dowels to help support the sides to the ends and bottom.
I think it turned out rather decent for not having a plan. It makes my engineering friends crazy because I don't have written plans. Anyway, have fun and post pictures of yours.
Thanks again folks for your help.

Thank you everyone for your help.
Here are the pictures.
I'm now trying to get the pdf file uploaded. I'm too technically challenged.

Hi
I'm trying to upload the toy tool box plans and pictures but I keep getting messages that my files are to big.
How do I reduce the size of the file?
Thanks
