Mini Fence Panel

Left over scraps of wood can be recycled.  Why not pick out some wood scraps and use Proxxon tools to create a new project.

Left over scraps of wood can be recycled/upcycled.  Why not pick out some wood scraps and use your Proxxon tools to create a new project.

Supplies:

Delta Jigsaw

Delta Sander

Plaid Paint - Milk Paint - Petticoat

Kapro 313 Measure Mate
Wood scraps

The wood I used is from an old left over fence panel.  To be sure I cut straight lines, I used the Kapro 313 Measure Mate.  

Then I used my Delta Jigsaw to cut the panels, following the line created with the Kapro 313 Measure Mate.

Next I used the Delta Sander to sand down the fence panels to remove all the rough patches and imperfections.

I used the panel as is, but found it too dark.  So I decided to paint on a light layer of Plaid Milk Paint in Winter Harbour to give the panel a nice white washed appearance.

Once the panels dried, I sanded the panels again to remove some of the paint and give it a more distressed appearance. 

Now my panel is ready to use as a background for my projects.  It's large enough for my bigger projects, yet light enough to pick up and move around.

What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.
