Scott Rosenberger Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 look in the yellow pages for a Fabric Store, Wal-Mart sells fabric as well. If you're looking for that exact pattern in the tutorial, email Brian, I think he did that finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikbojerik Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Yes, in this chat the word "material" means cloth, not paper. I think with plywood, it would be best to sand it as flat as possible (don't use a planer), fill in the grain as much as possible with grain filler, then follow the tutorial steps for the material finish. There are 2 basic types of "plywood", the "classic" kind is where you have lots of thin sheets glued together. The other kind (now used in the US construction industry almost to the exclusion of classic plywood) is ofter referred to as "OSB", which consists of lots of chips of wood (with all different grain orientations) in a mass of glue. It is stronger than classic plywood. Neither one will plane worth a darn, you must sand it flat. It is interesting..."material" can refer to almost anything. I once worked for a concrete crew and the stuff was always "material"...go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newc of the JCF Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I was poking through WallyWorld (WalMart) and ran across that fabric you used in the tutorial and said "Heyyyyyy, that looks familiar" Any good zebra patterns in your area? All I can find are spandex-type stretch or fuzzy-critter material. Newc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
