A few Questions for you!

four deckerz, Most craft stores will have spray adhesive, there are many different brands. Try different ones and you will find one that works best for you. I have had good luck with "Duro". I sand my wood to 320 or 400 grit before applying the pattern. I then apply purple or lavender masking tape to the wood. Spray the pattern and attach it to the masking tape. Everyone has a different method and this one works for me. Enjoy your saw and let's see some of your cuttings when they are finished.

Mike had a good suggestion about applying the painters tape to the work first and then adding the pattern. If you are 100% sure you will finish the project in one day you can buy the cheaper tape. If not buy the better stuff. The better tape can stay on the work for days or weeks and still removes cleanly. Not so with the cheap stuff. Why you are out shopping also get some wide clear packing tape. It may sound crazy but putting the clear tape on top of the pattern helps to lubricate the blade. This is very important when cutting very hard woods (oak, maple,....) and stack cutting.

I just got done in the garage putting the new Craftsman workbench together. Got the saw up on her new perch! It's going to be a nice set up to start off with.

While I was at Home Depot today, I also picked up 4 rolls of 1" painters tape, 3 rolls of clear packaging tape, a can of the 3M Adhesive, some drill bits, some extra plain end reverse cut blades, a set of 3 rasp files, a new tape measure, a pack of letter and number stencils, and some pine wood to practice on.

Thanks a million to you all for the help! Now, if I can cut wood instead of the ole fingers, I'll be doing fine!
