Popular Post Scrappile Posted December 14, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I finally completed these yesterday. These are a Sheila Landry design. Easy to cut, lots of sanding and most difficult of all for me was getting them attached to the rockers. They are made of cherry and there is a very small gluing area (just at the small hooves). I use Titebond, nope, epoxy, nope, Clear Gorilla glue nope and CA glue. What finally worked was the combination of Gorilla Glue and CA glue. A second problem with the gluing there was no way to clamp them with the clamps I have. I had to dream up ways to use weights. The one with the held up leg, I had to use pins along with gluing. May have to go back and add pins to the other, they are fragile. They are around 6" long and 6" high.

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Sort of a intarsia and fret work 3D project. Very different. Came out great. Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Look GREAT! I use a small drill bit and make pilot holes and then use cut off toothpicks as wooden nails on some of my intricate gluing places. It mostly works. meflick, Scrappile and amazingkevin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Great looking projects, Paul. When something is hard to clamp, I use both Titebond and CA with the accelerator. Holds instantly. Scrappile, Old Joe and amazingkevin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Very, very nice, Paul, You really made the deer look proud and elegant. I usually just resort to using masking tape to hold intricate pieces until the glue sets. Simple but, effective. God Bless!

amazingkevin Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Rubber bands have been my go to a lot. I need more CA,gel glue with spray accelerator. That has fixed things so fast to just keep on scrolling like it never happened. I knew you could improvise with all your expertise. Super glue and backing soda makes a quick bullet proof weld Ajax can't get off, Google it! great looking crafts you hand made!!!
