mikewix Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Well done Paul. Nice cut. Are most of your cuttings done with 1/4"? Do you just single cut? I do all mine with 1/8" and stack at least 3 and sometimes 4 pcs. to help with blade control. I'm considering using 1/4" to cut down on number of finished portraits, they are starting to stack up, and I only want to frame so many.

Rob Roy Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 For some reason I really went through a lot of blades so do this one. 1/4" Baltic Birch, 3/0 New Spiral Flying Dutchman blades. Charles Dearing pattern. A beautiful job Paul. Maybe the reason for getting through so many blades is the fact that somehow you managed to get a lot of detail into the DETAILS. Lovely job. .

Scrappile Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thank you all for the very nice comments. I do love the Charles Dearing patterns. Recently I ordered 7 of Mike Williams' patterns. Very anxious to give them a try. Well done Paul. Nice cut. Are most of your cuttings done with 1/4"? Do you just single cut? I do all mine with 1/8" and stack at least 3 and sometimes 4 pcs. to help with blade control. I'm considering using 1/4" to cut down on number of finished portraits, they are starting to stack up, and I only want to frame so many. Lately most my cutting has been in /4" BB with a piece of scrap plywood for a backer. If like the look of depth 1/" gives on bigger pictures. Paul, what is the overall size of this beautiful cutting? Len This cutting is 17.5" x 10.5" Where on the blades did they break? Blades were breaking in the cut area. I used a piece of old oak scrap plywood as a backer and maybe I was pushing a bit too much with the harder plywood. Not sure, but I'm use to breaking blades. Just not normally this many.

Fishman Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Awesome piece! Nice work! Mind if I ask about how many hours this took you? Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Awesome piece! Nice work! Mind if I ask about how many hours this took you? Sorry, I know longer keep track, but I would guess, based on when I did try to keep track, that it was around 20 - 25 hours. Hard to keep track, I start one, keep it on the saw and will scroll every chance I get. Sometime I sit there for several hours, sometimes a few minutes. I made a log to fill out sometime ago but found out I'd rather scroll than filling in a logsheet..... It got forgotten pretty quickly.

Multifasited Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Paul ,I have found that ,despite the cost ,I change blades as soon as it whispers or control changes ,I use a lot of cheap mbf ply. which has advantages and is tought on blades , but are cheaper and easier to get than BB and warps less 1/8" slips into cheap pre made frames . I love detail to and shelf paper liners ,sharp blades less fuzzy issues and with vac no problems That is a beautiful piece Enjoy seeing all you work !

Ron Johnson Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Awesome cutting of an awesome pattern Paul. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Super looking cutting and pattern. You can never go worng with a pattern from Charles. Have no idea why so many blades. Maybe a bad batch of blades, like anything sometimes we get a bad group in an order. Can't wait to see how you frame it out. Thanks for sharing it with us all. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
