regarding making scallop fences…here’s one method outlined by tom hull…click on this link… http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/papateds/fencemend.html here’s the method i used…(because i already had the tools)… first, stamp cut the basic shape...a single hammer blow will usually cut one thickness of cardboard... then radius the top of the scallops with a craft knife… a couple of coats of primer and finish will hide any imperfections in your cuts… it’s not a perfect solution…but it works… regarding making fence post…i used the same rolled paper technique as tom… but use a bamboo skewer in place of a toothpick and a strips cut from mailing envelope paper… my very best regards…howard

Wow thats a cool blade, Im going to have to look for that one. I've cut all the fence I've done by hand and its a pain. I did have part of an original to trace which was nice to get the spacing right. You start to feel like a surgeon after so many cuts. Very neat, thanks for sharing! |

Real nice technique. And it is a pain to cut them out by hand. Tom |
