Popular Post heppnerguy Posted January 27, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I finished up my "Lord's Prayer" plaque and have it ready to mail out on Monday. Unfortunately I did not get the lighting right, but one of the many things that I am not, is a photographer. The round plaque is something that I make and give to all the spouses that loose their mates, who I know. It is the most appreciated and brought to my attention, many times after I have given it to someone. This month we had 4 friends who lost their spouses and I also gave one to my son so he could mail one to the good friend's wife that died also this month. So I made 6 of them and have one more ready when needed. I also made two of the Steve Good, grandma plaques, one for my wife and one to sell on my Facebook page. I also made several state plaque for a client as Christmas Gifts. So you see, I am not cutting like Kevin but I am cutting and having a lot of fun doing so.

ScollSaw Slasher Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Fantastic. Tried the Grandmother one and had a disaster of breaking off one the outside swirls. Modified a little and it was a gift from my granddaughter to her other grandma. Those outside edges are tender. What blade did you use? heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 WOW!! To all three projects. The 19 year old daughter of a very good friend of mine died in a skiing accident this past week. Am wondering if you could tell me where you got the "Forever" pattern. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Nice work. Yes, I confess I was wondering if that new shop in AZ was getting any work done in it yet. Glad to see it is being put through its paces AND that you are taking the time to do other things outside of it. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Dick, those are all awesome. There's a lot of work on that Lord's Prayer. Do you stack cut any of that. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the Grandmother one and had a disaster of breaking off one the outside swirls. Modified a little and it was a gift from my granddaughter to her other grandma. Those outside edges are tender. What blade did you use? I used 1/8th BB Ply and stack cut two of them. I also used the Olson 2/0R blade, which I like to use mostly for work like this. I have found it to be small enough that it handles the delicate cuts easily and I like it up to 3/8 inch BB Ply when there is a delicate situation on the piece. Another thing that helps to keep the pieces from breaking off is to drill an entry hole next to the delicate cut and start there, instead of going from the outer most part of the wood and cutting it away. The reason for this is the outer wood helps support the delicate parts, where as if you start from the most outer edge of your wood, you are creating a weaker area as you cut away some of the outer support. I hope this makes sense to you. Also the 2/0 R blade creates almost no fuzzies to contend with. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. .I love to cut pieces that push my envelope a little, as I find them way more satisfying then the easy ones. but of course some of the easy ones are what someone wants or it can be just the 'right one for the time' Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut for several years and enjoyed what I was doing until I met, Paul, (Scrappile) and experienced first hand what difference dedication to excellence meant. He was such an inspiration to me, as well as a good friend, now, that I went home after visiting him and decided to step up my skills. I have found it challenging and very rewarding, doing so. It is truly 'another level' for me. Dick heppnerguy meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love my new shop and the fact that I can use it year around. I have been way too busy in the shop doing Christmas orders and personal things but it is a little settled down now. Hope to find time to be here a little more though, as I miss seeing everyone's work and reading their notes to one another. It is such a great bunch of people here Dick heppnerguy meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you stack cut any of that. I did stack all the frame pieces. cut my work in half on that. This one was much easier then the first one I did, and it took less time then I thought it would.
