my first name cut

Hi All,

With help from Fab 4 ( Thanks Paul ), I managed my first name cutting.

I know there a few mistakes but hopefully I will improve.

Very good cut but you don't really need the cut out in the font when cutting these in the A & O & D which would make it look better. Roly

Nice first try Don.  Thanks for sharing.

You did well on your first attempt Don! Thank you for showing,

Soon you will just lay the lettering out the way you want it and cut.   Nice work; a bit easier than you thought it would be I will guess.

[Gordster]

Well done Don.that came out very nice

[Scrolling Steve]

[DWSUDEKUM]

That is very nice cutting. I really like it. Kudos to Fab4 for his assistance, a very generous guy.

I do agree with Roly about not needing the cutouts in the A, O and D, but it did come out nice!

Don,you did Absolutly Fantastic!!I tried that once,Once.One of these days I may try it again.

[don watson]

Thanks for the kind words. I know there are a lot of mistakes but I am learning.

This was done as a break for a project I am doing at the moment. When I look at it, I think I may have been supposed to cut out the name and leave the rest of the wood in place (like a reverse of what I cut) lol.

take care

lol Dan, when I first looked art it I wondered why you cut it this way, I cut mine the opposite of what you did Yours looks nice though. I don't think it really matters which way you cut it out, as long as your happy with it that's all that matters. I don't remember right of hand if you sell any of your work, if you do, you should take this piece with you just for show. If you do, you'll be amazed at how many question on how you made it. People who aren't scrollers, just can't seem to get their heads around how these are made. Over the years, I've sold about twenty of them, I charge $7.00 for the piece of wood, and then I charge  $5.00 per letter. So the one you have pictured here would cost $52.00, that may seem to be a bit high in price. But, these things aren't all that easy to make. They're tedious and friggy, and if the blade doesn't stay straight while cutting you will have to start all over again.

Len,

I agree with everything you say there. There are some minor niggles but I may be too fussy.

It's ok for a first but I have learned not to use Pine.
