Hans I am not too sure what I am more impressed with, the fact that you cut it or the fact that you counted the 5000 holes. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:   It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

You certainly have patience !  You really do love scrolling.  I am amazed at the detailed work & your great effort in such a project. It's beautiful !  I am trying to imagine if there are drill bits that small, let alone blades small enough for that kind of detail.  Thanks for letting us enjoy your work. You can be proud to display it on any table.  Thanks

I know they were 80 grueling hours for you Luis. It looks like most of the holes took longer to feed the blade thru that it took to cut. I would have done it probably 5 or 6 times, looked at the rest of the pattern and just chucked it aside. You did and outstanding job!

Don  Your right about it taking longer to find the hole then to make the cut as I'm strictly a bottom feeder, so to make it easier I drill about 50 holes or so and then flip the pattern over so I see the back of the holes and chase each hole with a 3" nail to round of the edge of each hole then I work by feel alone. I've used a pencil instead of the nail as the graphite in the lead kind of lubricates the hole so the blade slides in easier but all in all there is just no easy way.
