rdatelle Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Well I gave this a shot and it wasn't easy. I want to thank Mahendra for doing this pattern for me and also Dave Monk for giving me the idea and some tips. This is cut out of 1/4 inch B/B with a 1/8 backer. There was so much small detail that I had to use a # 64 drill bit which is very tiny and a # 1 ultra reverse blade which was the only blade that would fit in the drill hole. I was glad I had both available. I did increase the pattern to 9 1/2 x 13. I made it a little easier to do but not that much. Comments and advice always welcome. Thanks Ralph.

Dave Monk Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Ralph, You went right after that. Good pattern and cut. dave Quote
rdatelle Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks Dave. I just couldn't wait. LOL. It was definitely a challenge. Thanks again for the idea. Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Very nicely done Ralph. That would make a great craft table sign.. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote
dgman Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Great work Ralph! The only advice I would give was given to you by Russell yesterday, and that is to make it larger. When I do portraits, I don't size them to available frame sizes. I make my own frames so I size the frames to fit the portrait. Quote
rdatelle Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Posted July 1, 2016 Your right Dan. I should start making my own frams. I did make this one bigger. Quote
