Mimi Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I finished it today. The person I made it for is very happy and thinks it looks great. It was easier to cut than I thought. Hope everyone is having a great day. Mimi JOE_M, Scrolling Steve, Dave Monk and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimi Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Placed the diamond tred between 2 pieces of plywood glued the pattern to th wood. Got a cobalt drill bit to drill the holes. Cut it with flying Dutchman iron man metal cutting blades and went slow and steady. wombatie and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimi Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Thank you everyone for the great compliments. And yes Munzieb I think I do have a new material to work with. I was going to try just flat metal next time and see how that looks. My only problem now is figuring out what to attach it to the backer with. I might see how gorilla glue works.

Mimi Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I think it is about 1/8 thickness but be careful the edges are sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
