    Critique Request Scroll and design

    Thank you for your replies Classyranchwife. I'm sure your next efforts will be better. You will find it better if you draw your initial design and if it's not perfect then tape tracing paper over it and make your corrections on the tracing paper rather than erasing the original. Keep doing...

    Thanks for the info, Sam. I always enjoyed them in the WSJ, Somewhere among my files I have a collection of them that I cut out and saved. Years ago I tried to get method info from the publishers but they weren't very forthcoming.

    Pulse Graver

    Please ease up Memorymaker. Monk does a great job on the Cafe. Monk and many others of us call all the tool system "toys" with no intent to disparage them. In like a kid "with new toys".......just a manner of speaking.

    English fine scroll -- layout on paper

    Remember that outside work will add size to your scroll backbones and also define your open space and "pathways" between clusters and bouquets.

    English fine scroll -- layout on paper

    Thank you AO84. When you make a copy of the space you are designing English scroll for, first make a paper copy at actual size. Use this to just make a quick, rough layout of backbones only, open space "pathways" between clusters and bouquets. This will help you from overcrowding your design...

    English fine scroll -- layout on paper

    AO84, Try drawing scroll backbone lines, main leaf lines and exterior work at twice the size you plan to cut them. Leave out the wide flair cuts and shading. Then reduce it 50% when you print it for transfer and practice cutting.

    Help, please: Losing air pressure

    Look things over and make sure that is where the noise is coming from first. A little soapy water will show bubbles. Check the fitting where the hose goes into the handpiece. If you can take it apart, cut off about and inch and a half of the hose and reassemble it. Sometimes a crack or tear...
