Thank you for sharing Sam Sort of both.. LOL The car design is from DarensGraphix.. His designs aren't really scroll saw patterns but are DXF formatted for CNC metal work.. They just so happen to work for scroll work too... I modified it adding the lower part below the "Cuda" and then made the area for the clock.. I do some of my own design work too but typically buy it if I can find a design to make work for my needs. Also have DonR do many of my car items..

Lucky2 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Kevin, the cutting is very nice looking, but, I have to ask. Why do you use such large drill bit sizes, I'm not sure if I like them or not? Is this a normal cutting, or was it done for the look? I'm not critizising your work, it's just that I never have done anything without trying to hide the drill holes. If this is normal practice for you, how do you find they sell? Has anyone ever asked you about the drill hole sizes, or is it just me being stupid? Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever asked you about the drill hole sizes, or is it just me being stupid? Len Not normal for me to make the holes like this.. I had planned to use spiral blades.. when i started drilling so the holes were of proper sizing.. but after drilling some of these I realized that some of these were very close to each other and I didn't think the spirals would make the piece look right.. so I used a flat blade.. Plus.. for what it's worth.. The camera setting I use to take my photos shows way more detail than what the naked eye shows.. so.. these holes really aren't as noticeable in person.. I use the Micro setting (think that's what it's called ) for super close up detail.. sometimes that setting does more harm than good.. LOL This piece is only about 6.5 inch wide.. so the car itself is only 4.5 or so inch.. I shrunk the original design down from 22" wide.. design was originally for metal work on a CNC.. customer wanted smaller size. but was happy with what they got.. I doubt if I make it again I'll do it that small.. so really it was a mistake in judgement on my end.. Ideally it would be best to cut around 10" - 12 which is kind of bulky for a desk clock in my opinion anyway..
