another effort with the spiral

[heppnerguy]

I made this plaque that turned out to be a new experience for me. I cut it with a spiral blade because of the thin font. I struggled a lot with the blade on this one and I had to join two pages because it was too big to print out on one. I intersected the pages and though I spray glued the back of the pattern I overlooked gluing the two halves together where they overlapped and as I was finishing up, the pages separated and the overlapping page started fluttering as I was cutting out the 'a' in Psalm and it caused it to break out. But I thought I was OK with that small error. maybe I should not have been

Dick, you did a fantastic job of cutting the written part, it's to bad that the center of the "a" broke.

That is not bad Dick.  Spirals take some getting used to.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

I agree you done a Fantastic job Dick   I have tried Spirals many times.Oh the mess I made.  

[Gordster]

You turned it out perfect.....the letter A and letter E  always have a mind of their own

when making word art such as this...

Nice cutting with the spirals

[Scrolling Steve]

You did a good job !.....For me spirals are only used on portraits !

Cut a small circle and glue it in the "a". 1 small error does not make it designer firewood.

Good job! Patience and a light touch with spirals.

Great pattern Dick! The font is beautiful and looks great scrolled. Lower case e's are a pain also. I keep a glue stick handy. When patterns are printed on multiple pages I join the pages with the glue stick before gluing to the wood.

I think you did really well Dick, It looks great!

I HATE SPIRALS did I say that out load. Not bad for a novice spiral user better than me. Roly

I'm with Roly on this, I HATE SPIRALS also.  But compared to my efforts Dick yours are absolutely awesome.     Maybe keep the spirals for pictures rather that lettering.

I usually use a glue stick also, but this time I forgot to, until the pattern was on the wood.  my bad....as they not say

I have no experience with spirals.......but that looks ok to me........

Dick, I have had that problem with the overlap on a pattern.  Fact I had it with the latest loon picture I just completed.  I didn't forget to glue, but it didn't stick well and started coming up.  I put a strip of clear packing tape over the seam to hold it.  I do not really like to use the clear tape but it helped in this case.

 

I think I need to find some new glue.  What I have been using is a bottle that I do not know how old it is but I found it in some junk when cleaning out the basement.  It could be 20 or more years old....
