Grandkids’ Painting Techniques

They each have their own style. The designs were cut using a point roundover bit in MDF

Fun! Great idea!

Did the roundover bit fit all the way through the material?

I used a 1/4” roundover on 1/2” MDF. I used a 1/8 end mill for the cutouts.

How did you corral them long enough to get those finished!

I'm trying the same on my 7 year old grandson, but he tends to paint with the tube of paint rather than the brush!

That was their mother's responsibility. I just benefit from her parenting talents.

Did you use better grade MDF than big box store Randall with the PRO?

Great to see the kids painting themselves, but who cleans the steps off??

Reminds me of Joe Crumley's "Humble little round over bit" thread that got me thinking:)

NICE!

I use Medex MDF which is high quality, consistent, and no formaldehyde. It carves very well.
