On the prowl two

[GrampaJim]

Another Jeff Zaffino pattern.  It the same as the last but cropped to just the head and shoulders.  I cut two 1/8" oak ply and cut with 3/0 FD spirals.

BEAUTIFUL!  I never had the opportunity to get any of his patterns.  I wish he wouldn't have gotten into difficulties and was still doing patterns.

[GrampaJim]

When you do an internet search for him, there isn't much.  Its like he disappeared.  I would attempt more is his patterns if they were available.

Wow that hurts my eyes, how many holes. Brilliant cut.     Roly

[Sparkey]

That's a beautiful piece Jim. I can't imagine cutting that with any other blade.

Outstanding cutting.  Very well done and the framing is beautiful also.  Jeff, did some great work and am grad I got several of his patterns at one time hopefully I will be able to cut them.

Absolutely beautiful thanks for sharing

Nice cutting. I can not get the hang of the 3/0, just keep breaking, I use the # 1. Read of you guys using the 3/0 on 3/4 inch wood what is the secret to not breaking. Using an EX-21.

I stack cut 1/8" 2 or 3 layers at a time.  3/4" would be real slow and and tough to cut.  I use an old Type 1 Dewalt3

[bgloyn]

My back up is my type 1, had it from new. Had trouble with the 3/0 on that also. Have no problem with the FD NS 1 up to 3/4 inch just no luck with the 3/0

Great cutting, GrandpaJim,

For those looking, you can still get back-issues of Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine on e-bay, garage sales, etc

with some of Jeff Zaffino's patterns.

God Bless! Spirithorse

Nicely done Jim, I really like the look of the one in the black frame. Not all that long ago, I saw some of Jeff's patterns for sale on one of the sites I visit. If I can find or remember which site it was I'll be sure to post it here.

Wow that looks great.

From what I have read about Jeff, back when I was searching for his patterns, he got into some trouble over copyright and it pretty much put him of the business.  I do not know a lot of the details, but it is unfortunate.  He was very talented pattern maker.
