Therefore I have not become a master of it. Self defeating attitude! This from a woman who often tells others of course it is uncomfortable to use tools when you first get started with them and it will be that way until your muscle to brain memory for the tasks fully develops.Karin Corbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558132883050492387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-59852622283644957552011-09-09T18:51:24.445-05:002011-09-09T18:51:24.445-05:00Soon I shall learn not to be surprised about what ...Soon I shall learn not to be surprised about what you can do....your talent is certainly amazing!!

If yo...Thanks Everyone for all your kind comments.<br /><br />If you would like to try this you could always use K&S 22 gauge brass.You can get that in model train shops, also online. <br /><br />If you are not comfortable drawing your own lettering, then there are a bunch of letter forms to choose from right on your computer.<br /><br />Just print your words (in heavy print) on computer contact paper and draw a box under the letters so that all your letters have a contact point (no matter how tiny) to the rectangular box. <br /><br />You should have three teeth from your saw blade in contact with the edge of your chosen metal gauge. That is how you figure out what size saw blade to use in any gauge metal.<br /><br />It is good to keep your saw blade lubricated for easy cutting. I use casting wax for that but bees wax would be just as good. Always make sure your saw blade is straight up and down. Think of it like a needle in a sewing machine, that never tilts while it is moving. You won't break as many saw blades if you master that.<br /><br />Knotty By Nature... <br />I never could have cut this out of paper either! lolCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-41351090079955802872011-09-09T16:53:25.355-05:002011-09-09T16:53:25.355-05:00This is really wonderful and I would love to have ...This is really wonderful and I would love to have it!!!
