I suck at spiral blades.

[Dave Monk]

My first attempt at making a pattern and cutting of a car. I am not totally satisfied of the outcome  but my customer was pleased..............I guess that's what's important.

The pattern and cutting look mighty fine to me.

What a beautiful little 280Z.  My wife and I had one for several years.  There was one thing I didn't like one thing about it, it had a voice (nagging female) that told you things like "your lights are on", "your are low on gas".. so some woman was nagging at me even when the wife wasn't along!

I think you did great, but I feel your pain with spiral blades.

Very nice job with both the pattern and the cutting.. 

I always liked those little cars.. My friend in high school had one that he dropped a small block Chevy 350 into the engine bay.. LOL Talk about a scooting little car, LOL.... My son says that is the car he'd want if he was to own a car.. He's into the Dodge First Gen Cummins trucks though.. him and brother in law built a 750Hp twin turbo 94 cummins truck to race at the track and now they are building a Nova with a Cummins. LOL.. To be young and have some spending money again

Great 280Z. They were a beautiful car as is your cutting. I'm impressed.

Dave,

You might want to get your eyes checked, I can't see anything wrong with that.  Lovely job and well up to your usual high standard!

Dave, if you did this piece using spiral blades, then you definitely don't suck at using them. This little Datsun looks amazing, there's no wonder the customer likes it.

Wow that's a sharpie.I would have thought  A -nder did the pattern.this is the best car pattern i've ever seen ! Congratulations!

Dave I think you are being a bit harsh on yourself it looks great from here and the customer is happy so all is good, I know the feeling you have though when something about it you are not happy with but the good thing is it went straight out the door so its gone and finished my one I am not happy with is still on my wall reminding me not to do it that way again lol. But as I said looks great from what I can see was it all done with a spiral is that what you are not happy with ?

The pattern isn't that great but I do non't mind sharing. I had to make a lot of adjustments on the fly and leave a lot of the little stuff out.

Dave, I don't see anything wrong from where I live. Great job. I know what you mean about spiral blades. I just can't get used to them. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
