Nice cutting on a great pattern.

If you write the word
ADAM on piece of paper then hold it up to a light looking through the paper so the word is on the back side of the paper you will see MADA replace the D with Y. This shows/demonstrates I only need one thickness as the letters look the same in reverse except for the D and Y. So if I cut the heart out and then slice it in half and do a negative cut of the D and Y in the 2 separate halves they can be glued back to back with a divider and will fit nicely in between the A's. Is that clear as mud?

I've had a customer request a project. I'm not quite sure what to do with this one. Any help with a pattern would be appreciated.
Here is an excerpt from his email..
My cousin's kids' names are Adam and Maya. If you write the two words out in all caps, they are mirror images of each other except for the D in Adam and the Y in Maya. I thought for my cousin's birthday, I should get her a solid wooden (2" -3" tall, 3/4" deep) thing that is carved (cut out) in the shape of the letters ADAM, but the D is further inscribed inside a heart. When you flip it around, it looks like MAYA but the Y would be inscribed on the flip side of the heart.

If you can hear the motor is working then you must not have the hands seated properly. Make sure they go all the way down onto the shaft and lock into place so they do not spin freely. Nice job.

If you can afford the EX by all means go with the EX. I upgraded from my dewalt to an ex 3 years ago and I'm very happy I did.

Ask Steve a question. / Re: Getting glue residue off/Pattern transfer
« on: December 14, 2013, 07:04:12 pm »
Use mineral spirits on a rag. I use a spray bottle and spritz the entire work surface, let ti set for a few minutes and the pattern will lift right off in most cases. I then can use a lint free cloth (old t-shirts) to carefully wipe down the project removing the glue residue. Any left over residue I just spritz it and wipe it off.
