Please add additional sites that are of use to those trying to learn how to use the CW System.

I know there are more, but you guys can help populate this for me.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS THREAD TO ADVERTISE.

Items such as patterns, materials and other CW related should be posted in BUY - SELL - TRADE section.

Thanks to Keninar for this useful site, which can help you identify your font just by posting image.

MyFonts.com has an interesting and free service:

You upload an image with the text you wish to identify. The system will run a series of comparisons - and ask you if their associations are correct, i.e. you can agree or disagree is the letter they think it is - actually is the letter in question.

For example in the Maria's Doghouse image below - the system highlighted a Capital "D" and essentially said: This is a capital D - right? If you agree, you do nothing, if you disagree - simply blank out the box.

Running this image thru the system returned this font:

Here is the url that has the app to identify a font based on an image. http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

You don't have all of our videos on your website, Jason. You're missing some.

I have found some useful tips and tricks from these web sites:

http://www.copycarver.com

http://www.fishcarver.com

Thats where I found out about spraying CO2 into paint cans to help keep them fresh.

Also here is a site that sells Saburtooth bur bits. I like this kind becouse they are a little more coarse than other types of bur bits found at the store. And the donut bur wheels can fit in my high speed drill, and I don't have to buy a cuttoff saw. Bur bits work very nice for smoothly removing wood.
