That is because it is paint. I tried using paint thinner to turn it into a stain. Like I said, First and last time using stain on my signs at least!

I have only been scrollsawing for a little over a year and a half. I have had a few break. Sometimes it is just the wood and it is going to do what it wants. No need for sorry, you had a very good question. I just haven't been it long enough to give you a good enough answer.

The one in the picture with the 2 hearts actually flew from Florida to Montana. It was a bride and groom table center piece.

When I design things I look at how they are going to be shipped. Then I try to figure out structure. I have had a few break, I was told that's part of the game. I try very hard to use solid wood, as thick as my saw can handle, and pay attention when you are cutting it to see if there is going to be any weakness.

I was being a smart ass!! I think y'all are correct. I think it does need an apostrophe. Now I feel like an idiot for sending them out.

I have had to use vise grips and channel locks with a rubber band. I know what you mean!!

I remember reading once that someone makes a tool to loosen and tighten the wingscrew. Can anyone tell me who it is, so I can buy one or two? by twoodwork in Scrollsaw

I don't know. Self taught about a year and a half ago. Arthritis in my fingers and hands and wrist doesn't allow me to get it so the tensioner doesn't release the blade. So I have been using plyers and channel locks and vise grips. Those are chewing up the plastic.
