Recent Cutting

[britetomro]

Recently completed the USMC Eagle, Globe & Anchor. As a Retired Marine, I really enjoyed completing this project. This project has approx. 430 cuts and took over 36 hours to complete.The letters were probably the hardest. They took 10 hours alone. As most scrollers know, if a mistake is made somewhere in the project, most of the time it can be hidden in the project. The words, if not perfect, almost any mistake will be noticed, even by a 6 year old. The photos are listed in the Gallery. Tried to post them here and could not figure out how.

Awesome job Ron. One of my stepdaughters just joined the marines. She survived the Crucible and is now off to MCT in Jacksonville, NC. I got to see her twice during the holidays. This is something I've got to make for her. She would love it.

 

The work you did on that is terrific. What blades did you use to cut it, and where did you get the pattern?

To All Scrollers,

 

Thanks for the comments on my latest cutting.

 

Barry,

 

I found this pattern in scroller magazine. You can find them at scrolleronline.com or 800 486-6053. They have an excellent selection of patterns. This pattern as well a number of others were made by Jeff Zaffino. He creates patterns designed to challenge you to become a better scroller. I actually started this project over 3 years ago and in my early days of scrolling I had alot to learn about the art. I ended up messing up too many times and had to scrap the project. Decided to have a go at it again and am happy with the results. For most of the project I used a 2/0 sprial blade. I even used a spiral on the letters at the bottom of the cutting. The letters took over 10 hours to complete. For the long straight cuts as well as a few other internal cuts I used a #5 Reverse Skip Tooth blade. After it's all said and done, this project with over 430 cuts ended up being more difficult that the Large Cheetah I have posted which has over 1200 cuts.

 

Take care,

Ron

Thats really top shelve for quality ,precision,accuracy! i leave nothing out for this kind of forte.Hard to beat.This is the cats butt in scrolling.I think it's as high as one can go .He really excells at his hobbie.Should be cutting parts for NASA.Chills run up my spine admireing the time ,patience and endurance renderd by this man .He goes the extra mile on all of his work like greasemonkeyredneck,two peas in a pod . I can,t elaborate enough on both of these men ,my hat is off too you both!4 stars to each!

Thanks for the info on that Ron. I didn't realize it was one of Jeff's patterns. I've got a few of his that I have on my cutlist. Just haven't gotten around to them yet. Gonna put this one on the top of the Christmas cut list and give it to her next Christmas.

Amazing work! The details are superb. That one should be hanging at Quantico

Thanks again to all for the kind comments.

 

Amazingkevin,

You for one no doubt have the gift of gab and I appreciate the comments.

 

Vector01,

It would appear you have some knowledge of the USMC with mentioning Quantico, VA. In my 20+ years active, I was never stationed there. First 6 years on the east coast and the majority of the other 14+ on the western seaboard.

 

Thanks again all,

 

Ron
