Mimi Posted July 9, 2017 Report 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 bobscroll, crupiea, hotshot and 6 others 9 Quote
dgman Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 That is impressive Mimi! Can you give us details on material and blades and technique? Mimi 1 Quote
Mimi Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report 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

meflick Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Nice work on that Mimi and i can see why the customer was pleased. I am sure her husband will be as well. Thanks for showing the final product and sharing the details on how you did it, blade used, etc. Mimi 1 Quote
munzieb Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Fine cutting. You may have a new future material to work with. Results were great! Mimi 1 Quote
oldhudson Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 You pulled it all together, great job. Mimi 1 Quote
Mimi Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report 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. Quote

Mimi Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Posted July 11, 2017 I think it is about 1/8 thickness but be careful the edges are sharp. Quote
