| Re: I've hit a wall I'd suggest using at least a 2 inch x 2 inch piece of wood, if you want any detail. The smaller pieces of wood such as 3/4 by 3/4 need some delicate touches and tools. I've done some that small, but I almost had to "scare" the chips off the wood instead of cutting them off, they were so small. Claude |
