Computer questions / Re: Inkscape download
« on: May 05, 2015, 09:46:39 am »Thank you John!! Ok now... I have been practicing Inkscape for 3 days now and I am getting better each day. But I have another question. I was watching a video and he mentioned that I could go to dafond.com and get more fonts.
I went there, clicked on download, but I cant get it from my Download file to Inkscape. Can anyone help me with that last step? I saw so many wonderful fonts that I would love to use. Thank you all.
Right click on the font you wish to add, a menu will pop up and one of the choices will be to install it. Do that and you will have your font available.

Bobby a few weeks back there was a problem with the hosting company for the message board and the result was the loss of pictures that were stored on their servers. The pictures hosted elsewhere were not effected. Steve has been working on this issue however I suspect that they are gone for good. There are several external sites that will host pictures and then issue a link that you can put on the boards, some are free, some are not the choice is yours really.

Brag Forum / Re: Dragon Bank
« on: April 26, 2015, 08:02:19 am »Love the money box, as the others say a fantastic finish, I will have to try Shellac (never tried it before).
Very easy to use, clean up from. The solvent is Denatured Alcohol so you do not have to worry about spraying an extremely flammable solvent in the air like you would with lacquer. Shellac dries fast, multiple light coats work the best. It will darken with age a bit and become more amber golden in color. It comes as shellac chips, you make your own concentration, or in cans so that you can brush it on or in spray cans. It is not recommend that you use it for being in contact with water as it will turn the surface white.

« on: April 25, 2015, 04:35:29 pm »Love the finish DW, do you alwsys get this result from tung oil and shellac together or
is one of them doing the tfick?
The Tung Oil is a 60/40 Tung Oil / Mineral Spirits mix. This slightly darkens the wood and give it part of that golden color. It also seals the grain of the wood. The shellac also imparts a yellow/golden color so between them they work pretty well together.
