heppnerguy Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 This is my pattern attempt. I cut this with a number one and a number two flat end scroll saw blade. I actually was not able to get the eyes cut right as I cut it smaller than I made the pattern for. I needed a size 0/3 spiral blade and I do not have any of those yet. I have to thank Paul, (Scrappile) for the encouragement he gave me to use spirals with his continual cutting and posting t he delicate and beautifully done pieces that he posts one after another. I am still attempting to learn how to make frames, with a long ways to go if I am to succeed with them, but I think it will be worth the effort if I ever figure all this out. I will post my pattern after I go check out exactly how to do that. Dick heppnerguy Phantom Scroller and Lucky2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Nice job on the pattern and cutting it. Darn, I should have given you a dozen 3/0 spirals to try when you were here. I don't use them as much as I use to, I think it was you that suggested I try the FD Penguin Silver blades and they are my go to blade now for the portraits.. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Another beautiful piece of art Dick. I think your framing work is coming along nicely as well. Thanks for sharing a photo of your work. Glad you are learning to use the spiral blades. I have a few in the shop but haven't even tried to learn to cut anything with those yet. I have learned here on the forums that they can be a love/hate type of relationship! I need to get some of the FD Penguin Silver Blades in and give those a try. I have been trying out some different blades as suggested to find what I like to work with and the speed. I did get in some FD blades but didn't order any of the Penguin Silver. I was just confused with so many FD choices and didn't know what to start to try so I just stuck with the "basics" for now. Edited to add: I look forward to your pattern when you get a chance to share it. Thanks for doing so.
