Paul hd Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 #Like the Dolphins, like Dolphins can swim.# I came across a post by curtisintarsia and he did this pattern by Bob scroll. I just had to give it a go. I wish it looked like Steves. :-) Great pattern Bob. Lucky2 and LarB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Nicely done Paul. That might look fantastic cut from colored plexiglass and bottom lit by a couple of LEDs. The Dolphins would really stand out I think. Very well done. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Paul hd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul hd Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Hi DW. That's a bit of a coincidence, because straight after cutting the dolphin pattern today I cut this and thought just the same as you about doing the dolphins in plastic.

DWSUDEKUM Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 That fairy is another example of one that could be bottom lit and would show up even better. Nicely done Paul. DW Paul hd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Two great pieces you are showing. Does not look at all like beginner work to me. I want to give some of that acrlyic cutting a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul hd Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks Scrappile. I must admit I've taken to it like a duck to water. I've also taken up turning on a lathe, equally enjoyable. I took some video today whilst cutting and I have a few questions in the vid. Any tips will be taken on board. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courdorygirl Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 When I cut out puzzle pieces, I always drill on a near a point so that when I'm sanding, I can round the drill mark off. For patterns such as this, though, I think it comes down to preference since it's all waste material. Second question, about what to cut out first. It's a matter of personal preference, I think. I always start with the smallest pieces and work my way up because of the fiddly little adapters I use for spiral blades. Paul hd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 To answer your first question, as long as you drill a hole close to a line that is OK. If you have a large piece to cut out you can use a larger drill bit. Second question, I alway cut the smaller pieces first that way you are not trying to keep your wood from breaking. Thirdly, I think you will always find a void in all ply's no matter what type it is but of course the cheaper it is the more problems you may have. Well done on the dolphins it looks great. You certainly are a natural. Marg Paul hd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
