amazingkevin Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 time keeps ticking away and it seems like my scrolling time never comes lately.This is a two day project sneaking in a minute here and there. So-many things to keep me from scrolling. Now i need advice on how to cut the ANKH cross .Its 3.5 feet tall 2' wide 1/8" thick .Iv'e tryed the jig saw underheath the table mounted and i've tryed free hand with the jig saw on top neither way give quality cuts they are clean cuts just not diserable ones .i have to do lots of sanding to true up the edges. bobscroll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Kevin design the pattern like a puzzle... a giant jigsaw puzzle each section would be a part of the whole. With a bit of patience you should be able to get really tight joints and good edges for the whole thing.... Just an idea.

Multifasited Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Kevin ,Heat up the tips of your favorite scroll saw blade ,bent 90 degrees and cut side ways ,or to a lesser degree and go straight back ! That's what this hill billy would try ! Carl ! l ,with extentions and two different blades should work !

amazingkevin Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Kevin ,Heat up the tips of your favorite scroll saw blade ,bent 90 degrees and cut side ways ,or to a lesser degree and go straight back ! That's what this hill billy would try ! Carl ! l ,with extentions and two different blades should work ! Don't you know that when you give something away that when YOU need it .My 20" dremil accepts blades both ways , just switch the blade holder around.that's worth considering to make this job go nicer .I'm getting $6 bucks a pop and all the detailing i gotta do makes for me vnot a happy camper!

Around the corner Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Kevin I have a idea for ya.I don't know if you have a router but if ya did use the first cross that you have for a template after you sand it perfect and nail it to 3 or 4 layers of the wood to cut out wider than a routers width all around. Buy a sleeve to attach to router on bottom it acts as a guide and follow the pattern around and you will have perfect cuts every time, Thats what I would do to save time and sanding keefie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Peter Thanks Peter, Google ANKH'S ,A lady that sells jewels and beads commissioned me to make ankh earrings out of wood ,mica,& metal plus the huge Ankh's.I guess your the one that designed the two doves,I would have acknowledge that but your name was not on the pattern by the time i got around to cutting it ,thanks!

Dan Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Tell Ray at Seyco there is a need for a 48" saw and you would be willing to test drive it for quality control. I think you could get it done on your yellow saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah buddy , i did one on ol yeller and that was enough!Way to many things in the way to move.My shops have always been like that.Harbor freight has a 12 volt 24" scroll saw in their main catologe, discontinued but i think if you wanted one you could get one.It takes pinned blades.
