Woodworking Tip
Do you have a project where you are trying to hinge together a couple pieces of plywood? Screws usually pull out or cannot get a grip in the thinner plywood so we tried using copper rivets which are available at most hardware stores! Just drill holes to line up with the screw holes in the hinge plate, place the rivet through the plywood and hinge, set it on a steel block and pound the end of the rivet down into the countersink on the hinge.

Jiggin’ for Salmon – part 7
A look at it back lit. Spent an hour assessing how I was going to cut the perimeter and then I set about doing it.

Jiggin’ for Salmon – part 6
Here I show that the top of the salmon head is finished. That section with the mouth is quite flexible at this point in the cutting so be careful when you are moving your plywood around. If you noticed through the progression of photos that I started out with two pieces of 2×6 lumber across saw horses to act as my work table.

Jiggin’ for Salmon – part 2
Found some time this weekend to work on the jigsaw project. Continued cutting the twists and turns of pattern. The idea of starting in from the center and working outwards seems to be a good idea. I also starting scoring the lines with a sharp blade. This will help prevent the blade from splintering the edge while cutting. Same as if you were cutting a veneered hollow core door, score the line then cut with the saw, makes for a clean edge.
