ilovecats Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sometimes my tabs are too long for the holes, i just use the utility knife to trim off little bits of the tab, on either side. Sometimes the slot is too narrow for the width of the tab, so i use the utility knife to widen it a little. It's a very easy quick fix Gotta love those utilities knives!

uppitycats Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I've said this before, but..I LOVE my Dremel Stylus. I bought it late in the building of Lady Garfield, found a hundred uses for it in rehabbing Brimble, and know it'll be priceless when I get to building my Country House, or Emerson Row. There are several models of Dremel available; whichever you end up getting, I'd really recommend a cordless version. Dragging that cord around made me ignore my husband's Dremel when I first started, and now I wish I'd found a cordless then. Dry fitting is always a good idea. Then I marked each piece with a soft lead pencil "Paint", "stain", "DON'T paint", or whatever...so when I took it apart to actually then start glueing it together, I knew just which side need which treatment. The soft lead pencil erases easily with a gum eraser (or paint right over it, depending on the color you're using.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbytsdy Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Tabs? What tabs?! I think I gave up on tabs a while ago. (So new, yet so jaded already.) These days I just aim in the general direction, and fill in the gaps later... Which is what I will have to do for the Orchid roof-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
