Moved the Blog

Well I found a way to have a blog on my webpage.  I had to delete my wordpress pages and  start a blogger account.  They say that wordpress is supposed to be easy to use, and it is to a point, but if you want to customize it, than you had better be up on your coding skills.  I could not find a way to put my existing blog on my webpage through wordpress - not without taking coding courses - so I lost a lot of my past blogs, but not all of them.  The post below is an older post about block printing using MDF.

Making the MDF Block Prints

Making the MDF Block Prints

Posted on May 3, 2015 

I made the blockprints from the MDF block today.  I was impressed with the way that the MDF performed.  I filmed the process for a youtube video but because of a glitch I lost the footage for the first run that I made.

I had already cleaned and dried the MDF block (and every thing else) before I discovered that I had no footage for the video, so I started all over and did another print run. The MDF performed fine, even after I had soaked it pretty well in the cleaning process.  In fact it had completely dried before I made the second run but the edges remained sharp and it did not become crumbly as I had feared it would. It has now been soaked in the cleaning process twice and it still looks and feels good.  I may make a few prints with it in a few days just to check it out.

I will be making a print in the same style to compliment “The Farmer”, called “The Farmers Wife” and I will use MDF to do it.  In fact I plan to make some more detailed prints with it in the future to see how it will perform.  Below is a picture of one of the prints of “The Farmer”.
