heppnerguy Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Still working on using the spiral blade. i did this eagle with a spiral and I am starting to enjoy those spirals. I still feel like a brand new scroller when I am using them but what the heck, I am learning to do that so all is good with me Dick heppnerguy New Guy, Loskoppie, Lucky2 and 2 others 5 Quote
Scrappile Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 GORGEOUS! Don't like like new scroller stuff to me. What size spiral are you using? Stack cutting? Quote
Denny Knappen Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Very nice cutting and framed too! heppnerguy 1 Quote
Rob Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Have yet to try a spiral blade but it looks like you mastered them in no time Dick. Rob heppnerguy 1 Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Some patterns just beg you to use a spiral blade......Very well done Dick! heppnerguy 1 Quote
heppnerguy Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Posted March 2, 2016 GORGEOUS! Don't like like new scroller stuff to me. What size spiral are you using? Stack cutting? thank you, Paul. I used a #2 flat end blade in 1/4 inch BB Birch. I did not stack cut it, why would I want to mess up 2 pieces of wood at the same time? Dick Falcon 1 Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 That came out great Dick. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote
rdatelle Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 That looks great Dick. I'm still a little leary about using a spiral blade. I guess sooner or later I'll have to give it a try. Quote
penquin Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Looks like you figured it out. Nice bird. jim penquin Quote
Ron Johnson Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Really love the pattern Dick. Terrific cutting using spirals and very well framed. Awesome !! I myself am too comfortable using flat blades and only use spirals when required. Quote
Lucky2 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Way to go Dick, I'm going to have to do some practicing, I can't cut with the spirals. Len heppnerguy 1 Quote
wombatie Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Seems to me as though you have certainly mastered them you did a terrific job of the cutting. Well done Dick. Marg Quote
spirithorse Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Great work, Dick, I hope I never have to use a spiral blade. My first experiment was a disaster. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse Quote
heppnerguy Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Posted March 2, 2016 Really love the pattern Dick. Terrific cutting using spirals and very well framed. Awesome !! I myself am too comfortable using flat blades and only use spirals when required. I am the same way but I thought that one only gets better with trying and practicing. I would love to become as comfortable with the dreaded spiral as I feel with the flat blade. My progress is slow but i do feel I am making progress, never the less Dick heppnerguy Quote
heppnerguy Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Posted March 2, 2016 Great work, Dick, I hope I never have to use a spiral blade. My first experiment was a disaster. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse I am with you. I tried the spiral a couple of times and hated the results but after seeing the great work of Hans and Paul, and others that use them, I just knew I needed to jump forward and give it an honest try Dick heppnerguy Quote

RangerJay Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Very nice piece of work - once you get used to cutting with spirals they stand a very good chance of becoming your "go to" blades - and you won't feel quite as comfortable when you find something that needs a flat blade ..... (really .......). Thanks for showing the piece - just love those intricate wildlife projects Jay Quote
woodduck Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Very nice Dick I to am attempting a spiral project as well & I hope mine comes out half as good as yours, well done Quote
bobscroll Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Hi Dick, You did really well on the Eagle! Thank you for letting us see, Bob Quote
