Finished Just Now

[New Guy]

Pattern named  Somewhere  Pattern by Neptun  (Sasho)

It is in the New Patterns.  1/8" BBply  Pine stain  cut with spiral blade.

I'm still learning to use the spirals.  Hope I did justice to the pattern.

Well you did do it justice.  You can keep your spiral blades I hate them but I take my hat off to anyone that masters them.  Well done, keep it up

It looks Very Pleasing to the EYE and I also share Marge's feelings.  Too many hours practicing and most all FAILURES.  They either BREAK or

I get frustrated trying to securing them in the Holders.  I use a Hegner.  LOVE THE FDUR#1 blades.  90% usage for all projects.  Danny  :+}

Nice work! Looks like you are getting the hang of those spiral blades.

Great job on a wonderful pattern! I was trying to cut with #3 FD spirals on 3 layers of 6mm plywood last night and they were snapping in the middle after just a few minutes of cutting.   I plan on using up the last 10 blades that I have and NEVER getting any more. I could use a #3 FD-UR blade 4X longer and have to replace it because it is dull instead of broken.

 

If they work for you fantastic they are just not for me. You seem to be doing a GREAT JOB with them and therefore I commend you. Thanks for sharing this piece of art. It looks fantastic.   :thumbs:

Mice cutting it looks like you are getting the spirals down. I have yet to do that I have a

Dozen of #2 to try and if don't get it by the I will stick to the flat blades.

Great job.

That is a great looking picture!  Looks like he/she is paddling off into the sunset.  Very nice work.  You are doing good with the spirals.  I love them for portrait type work.  I have not done any other type of cutting with them so I don't know how well they work for things like word art, etc.

Just what you said kevin - keep the blade tight and go slow. Thanks for the complement.
