rdatelle Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 That came out great. Beautiful detail in the cutting. I agree, a simple quote would look good I think. Paul hd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul hd Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hi All. Quick update on the Churchill project. So I picked three quotes and asked our good friend Bobscroll to do the text for me. I had all intentions of finishing it today but I was surprised how long it took just to do one of the short quotes😳 So this is going to be finished the next time I get to spend all day in the shed. 😀 I started to use a No2 reverse tooth but it was not working out on the turns the lettering was just a bit too small. I should of resized it a little bigger but I liked it as it was. So next I tried a No 2 spiral, but I just could not get the tension right. As I was tightening just a little the blade snapped and this happened three times on the trot. 😠So I then went to the No 4 spiral and although it is a little bit wide for these letters it was all I had. It's not the crispest example of text but in a way I actually like the look👠The letter E gets a little fragile so on the reverse side I added a little bit of super glue to toughen it up a little. bobscroll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobscroll Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 It isn't easy with small letters, I think you did well considering what you were doing Paul, Can't wait to see it finished! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul hd Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi all. Finished cutting the quotes today. The text is cut with a No4 spiral and is a bit rough. I like to call it a Rustic look. 😋😀👠bobscroll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
