heppnerguy Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) I have had t his pattern for quite awhile but never got around to cutting it until today. This is a free Sam Custodio pattern. I believe it might be a fun piece for those for the 2nd amendment rights people to have displayed in their houses. I cut this on 1/4 inch BB ply and added an extended backer board that I stained black to bring out the cut lines better. I have found, for me, that staining is way more practical than painting because it covers evenly, stains in about 2 minutes without the need to put a second c.oat on it..it also is a lot cheaper and does not have any odor to deal with. I cut the character with a number one flat end spiral and the rest of it with a number 3 double tooth blade. I am looking forward to cutting another Custodio pattern in the near future I hope this is not seen as a political thing, as i just cut a pattern that I thought was kind of cute. I do not even own a hand gun. I live in a very small out of the way town where people ride horses and kids swim in the reservoir and clean up any clutter they may make. I do not feel I need a handgun. Just having fun with this one.Dickheppnerguy Edited July 27, 2016 by heppnerguy Kepy, Birchbark, 125 CSL and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Cute cutting Dick, but, a very controversial message in some situations. Here in Canada the gun laws are much more strict, I wish they would lighten up a bit as I'd like to own a few hand guns of my own. I still could with the laws being what they are, but, what a person has to go through to get a permit is pure misery. Then if you buy the handgun, you have to get a special permit just to take it to the gun range. And even with the permit, you're only allowed to have the gun out for a certain amount of hours. It's a nightmare. Len Scrolling Steve and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjR Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Lucky2 describes what they are trying to INFLICT here too! Great Cut on an IMPORTANT issue! GUNS do NOT COMMIT any crimes! PEOPLE DO!--Trucks, railway sabotage, poisons, fires are all also means of mass crime! People cause those crimes TOO; not the implement used!

heppnerguy Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Looks like you may have used your proxon something scroll saw you just acquired?Perfect lettering ! Kevin, I did not use the proxxon saw because it just won't cut 1/2 ply, for some unknown reason, so I used my DeWalt this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
