Kevin Latimer Posted May 31, 2015 Report Posted May 31, 2015 thanks to someone, i have now been able to make a cutting for my steelers cave, (man cave) I still need to get better with my straight lines and turns, but i like how my first attempt at it came out. The hole to the right is for a clock, i cheated here though and just used a forstner bit lol bobscroll, TripleJScroller and Lucky2 3 Quote
rjR Posted May 31, 2015 Report Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Good work! Although no "sports fan" of any kind; I do like nice work! If it is too damned straight of lines it looks "COPUTER" made! I like each piece hand made better! Drill bits are an essential part of woodworking! Not Cheating! Edited May 31, 2015 by rjR Quote
dgman Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Nice work for your first piece! I make lots of clocks and would never atempt to cut the mounting hole on the scroll saw, always use a forstner bit. Quote
Gordster Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 You did good, someone said to me...I can't cut a straight line.....I said neither can I , thats why I scroll.lol Wtg. Scrolling Steve 1 Quote

amazingkevin Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 well done KEVIN! It's amazing what ball can be done with a scroll saw!Good job! :thumbs: :thumbs: Quote
woodduck Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Nice work mate I found that straight lines were harder to do than curves ,keep practicing & it will all come together . Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 NIcely done. Kevin you will find that long straight lines and circles are the toughest to do. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote
wombatie Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 I'm with Woodduck, give me a curve any day, hate long straight lines, but they do become easier once you really know your saw and the blades you use and then they are a cinch. Your work looks great and what makes it more special is that you cut it. Marg Quote
TripleJScroller Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Looks great and a great addition to any Steelers fan's man cave! Straight lines can take some getting used to, but make sure your blade is nice and tightly tensioned. Good tension makes the straight lines a bit easier. Quote
LarryEA Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 It looks great to me. The word STEELER looks straight. Great job! I have two Forstner bits, cheap one that I use to scribe where I will cut the circle. Then I use the scroll saw. Quote
bobscroll Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Don't be to hard on yourself Kevin! Rome wasn't built in a day! I think you are doing great! Thank you for showing, Bob Quote
penquin Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Kevin, that came out super. Like the look of it. Use a team color for the background and you got a keeper. Thanks for showing this one to us, look forward to seeing more of your work. jim penquin Quote
tough35 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 I am a Huge Steelers fan so it looks great to me Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Kevin good job the lines will come with practice so don't worry you will never stop learning just get better everyday. You can't go wrong remember the patterns are guides if the wood get thin as you go make it thicker. Soap box finished Roly Quote
