Thank you for another video, great idea with the tracing paper to save costs

[@fishtank5050]

Cheers Graham, I've used the tracing paper idea on my last 3 projects,once you get used to not touching the tablet screen ,it works fine.

Thank you Mark, nice fun projects 👍

[@StevenCookFX]

If you go to the hardware store and buy a brass brush. Not the heavy ones but rather the softer ones. They work perfectly for getting the fuzzys knocked off.

[@fishtank5050]

Nice one Steve 👍

Nice work and a very nice finish, Cheers

Thank you Dave, I'm happy with the finish..😁👍

[@colinwebber3582]

liking the different technique with the iPad, I suppose you got to be careful and not press too hard with a sharp pencil?? 👍👍

[@fishtank5050]

Cheers Colin ,no issues with a pencil, the hardest bit is keeping your hand off the screen and stopping it from zooming in,definitely another option for the ones that don't have a printer ..

[@gazsto9510]

Are they just fence boards you've sanded? What's the thickness of the panel? Fred Flintsone is one I am eager to try, brilliant and well done!

[@fishtank5050]

Thank you Gaz,yes just cheap rough fencing wood it sands up really nice ..they can vary in thickness, but ideal for the job. 😁👍

[@gazsto9510]

@@fishtank5050 Thanks and very much appreciated, I have just ordered some to have a go! They look amazing, my kids going to love them.

[@peterwhitehead34]

Another great project nicely done. Good tip to trace the template, it does work I've done it before as I seem to struggle with the poster apps, yet to master it that way, must be an age thing 😊. Tried an age to print out the gnome you did but failed miserably 😂. Is the fence wood you use treated ? It's all treated that dark brown in my area.

[@fishtank5050]

Cheers Peter, the templates are a perfect size ,for the fencing wood I use, definitely an option on simple projects..

[@chrispratt1403]

Love your videos and techniques, can you recommend a good program for resizing ready for printing? Thanks

[@fishtank5050]

Thank you Chris, on my bigger projects I use a online site called rasterbator, you can print templates up to a 1000 a4 sheets,big enough for you 😁👍

[@rgknowlton1]

When removing background material, which do you find works better: End milling bits or upcut bits?

[@fishtank5050]

To be honest Robert I've only used end mill or straight flush bits for clear out..alot of folk use spiral upcuts..

[@ahmelmahay]

another great project Shane. a quick question. do you water down the paints before using them?

[@fishtank5050]

Thank you Joe, I always water the paints down as I paint, it makes more of a stain then a paint...works well.

[@ahmelmahay]

@@fishtank5050 cool i didnt water mine down and i noticed that you can see strokes on it cos its too gooie so im gonna water my paints down from now on

[@fishtank5050]

@@ahmelmahay the paints are definitely better for watering down,it leaves a nice smooth finish,even better when the finish goes on..

[@kiltedmonster1]

Hello love your art, i am just starting out and i am looking for some help, can you tell me where you get your templates from please, thanks for any help and keep up the great videos ;)

[@fishtank5050]

Thank you Scott, i get most of my templates from Google, just add template or silhouettes or stencil after what ever you are looking for, adding colouring pages also works,so for this one i searched..Fred Flintstone colouring pages 😉

[@kiltedmonster1]

@@fishtank5050 thank you buddy, I will try that can’t wait to do some signs, got my self a trim router and a big router, got some bit a 30 degree v shape bit and waiting on the small ones you use and collet, I started making whiskey barrel furniture, so would be good to add some art to it, keep up the good work 👍🏻kind Regards Scott
