Over a period of time, I have noticed people looking for designs
1 Dover publications
2 scroller/winfield collections
and the best…3 Steve Good, Scrollsaw Workshop
All 3 are U.S. Steve takes donations to keep site up and running, I recommend donations, last count was well over 2000 designs, all free for d/l. You won’t use all designs, some are for building wood items, but OTHERS ARE JUST FANTASTIC.
You can use as is (but others are also, so won’t be original) but you can adjust, add, subtract to make it yours. Go to his site click on the image of steve and items, rectangle color box…….and you are off to the races, OVER 2000
I will add other things as I get time…way tooooo busy making money…Harry Shaboogy
What is the site address? Thanks in advance
Larry, thanks for the recommendation. I added this to the list of sites and ideas to use patterns here https://www.glassetchingsecrets.com/member/unlimited-etching-patterns/
Rush, I added the link there to make it easy viewing all too. Thanks all!
Google, scrollshop
and scroller
and winfield collections
sorry scrollsaw work shop……..steve good
Steve, I like the foot adjuster, I have bought “up the but instructions”.has helped
I know I can purchase the plans for foot adjuster, But you said 2 different things.. 1) don’t use items found locally I.E hardware stores for tube, but 2) I can use items found locally. I know from past experience, I CANNOT purchase from USA, will not deliver to me.
I also concerned re blasting item to fit my nozzle, and concerned about psi, most things I do are 40 psi and above, (MY DENTAL ETCHER) 25-40 psi, rust and paint removal 80-90 psi…out of possible 140 psi max.
So if I purchase the plans where in Canada to get parts?????? Running 220 alum oxide, baron nozzle, large dewalt compressor and 20 gal pot, 3/8 npt…..help larry/harry/anna ( we have to get this corrected) the only reason anna name was due to using her credit card,) my name is larry miller…my club riding name is harry shaboogy…let’s settle on LARRY MILLER…if this can be corrected.. cheers
Larry,
I have updated your name in the system so it should correct it everytime now.
Sorry about that. Thanks

turn b+w or color pics or drawings or line art into stencils, free or purchase options, this site has options..it is great. Also had a lot of fonts and a font maker.
I do believe YOU will be happy.
STENCILGRAM.com is down till say december
Larry, I forgot to reply here. Sorry about that- I thought US Plastic delivered to Canada. If not, you can use hardware tubing, but it won’t have as high of a blasting pressure and will wear out quicker. You can try researching/ calling the same type of tubing material in Canada. Also, as of today, I now offer the download of the mini blaster plans in Module 4. I hope that helps. Thanks
Talking about mini engravers… some years back I purchased A dental pneumatic drill, very tiny bits (of course dentists use for drilling cavities), It has an in-line water separator, adjuster for speed, or adjust compressor, drill bits are free from local dentists, after use with enamel on teeth, they wear a LITTLE, but still great for me. RPMs approx 10 – 15 x faster than rotating tool and diamond bits (drumel), REMEMBER WATER.
I also purchased at the same time a dental etcher.(pneumatic).very much like a small airbrush, only FINE sand, and extreme detail.
Each cost me about $ 150.00 each, gotta be 10 – 15 years ago…never a problem with either. Yes I have purchased a battery op engraving tool…you get what you pay for!!!, My main use for both is bas-relief carving (removing background) allowing the image to stand out. This is much harder in all ways, but demands more $$$ If you want to try this procedure, cheat a little, hit $ store for mason jars..they usually have a protruding design and or words..just carve around and make the design stand out more, (like a rubber ink stamp) you can also trim the edge of design so it is not a 90degree cut
larry miller 27 years and counting.
Yeah, I would like to get one of those pneumatic dental drills. Another member has one and they look great. Larry, you do some interesting projects. If you ever would be open to be featured, please let me know. Thanks!
Yes I am open to comments and features (sorry only minimal ) To the best of my knowledge and peers opinion, I do MANY THINGS that I am told :ARE NOT POSSIBLE!! I do not do hot glass or stained, Hot =long learning curve and expense, no interest in stained. I possess more bought and homemade tools than MANY co’s.
I teach them SOME TRICKS..by no means all. I am in possession of 6 patents and some pending. My IQ is high, if I may say lol.
Yes I like to see others succeed, but, after 27 years and some(few) fubars, I will never give away the store.
It seems on this page I can’t submit pics.
I will take pics and give names of pneumatic tools Eric..give me some time BTW I bought dental drill to carve EGGS. I am VERY UNORTHODOX IN MY DOINGS…thus some of my reviews +++++++++
Larry/Harry what ever.
Forgot to add, 1 of my projects, should be confirmed Oct – Jan is worth either 0..zero or
100,000 pieces. This is only to start….by all scenarios it is a go. I MUST PATENT this one!
I retail these in pkg of 4’s, from $12.00 set to 80$ set
bye for now
larry
Sorry Eric, 1 of prev posts I mentioned by name STEVE, it’s called brain fart…
I have been using this technique, for many years, just not every day.
The more detail the better, simple mask or shelf paper is good.
Apply image mask to mirror, glass, mask off unwanted area ETC. This is meant more for indoor mirror or glass. THEN……..Spray design area with clear cote MAT FINISH. Clear or mat is actual paint without pigment, I did my hutch glass with grapes and vines, bathroom mirror butterflies.
How and why this came about… I am married and the BOSS always wants to change things up, different designs = different seasons. This method is semi permanent, you can still use glass cleaner without removing, but when you want to remove…remember IT IS PAINT, I use a glass cleaner with a paint remover blade, Gentle.
Now you are ready to get the wife’s approval on what to replace with…Halloween, Christmas????? Or a dripping skull..but I do believe when the wife sees it…IT WILL BE GONE lol TIPS AND TRICKS
Larry
I would like to add rock blasting to my repertoire, do I have to subscribe to that feed as well – is there a discount for subscribing to both?
Is there a video on your site showing a sampling of a demonstration so that someone could view before purchasing? I am only finding how to maneuver through your site.
