Back to Home & Garden Gallery Bird House By Carrie Aguirre The 1/2" sheets were cut from a 2" thick piece of foam using the Hot Scroll Table, and the Foam Mill. After cutting, the pieces were painted with an outdoor house paint, so it can be displayed outside. The pieces were glued together after painting. Note the detailed window with slices of foam glued on to make a realistic looking window sill and frame. Hot Tip: Check out the Hot Wire Instructional Video to see how you can easily build your own Foam Mill.
