heppnerguy Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 This is the pattern that I was asking help to find, the other day and I was able to get it printed for myself. I have a neighbor who's brother has one of these trucks and when my neighbor saw the 36 Dodge pickup that I had cut from the pattern I had made, immediately knew he had to have one to send to his brother. I told him that it was one of the first patterns I had made and there was a better one in The Village somewhere, that I could cut for him. The first one I had cut had the lines of it so small that it was difficult to see and I wanted to cut one so that the end project was much easier to see. I chose to use a spiral blade that I had never use before and the cutting did not come out as well as I had hoped, but the neighbor really liked it so I gave it to him to send to his brother.

Dick heppnerguy Slow and easy does it with spirals, A lot depends on the wood grain.You brought this one to life!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I used a number four spiral and if I was doing it again, I would use a smaller, less aggressive blade and run it over the cut to increase the size of the line that way and then I would not have had so many jagged lines and the end results would have been much better, I believe. Thank you all for your nice comments and encouragements. Sometimes, even if one feels the nice comments are probably there just for encouragements, it still helps a little to feel better about one's own dissatisfaction in a piece.

Scrappile Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Holy cow what a fine job especially for using such a large spiral. Great cut, Dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a mistake using that spiral in the first place, It was one I had ordered to try it.. I think I must have mistakenly got the wrong number of the blade as I can not imagine I would even want to try it. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Nice looking cut Dick, but what the heck are you doing using those spiral blades? Don't you know they're evil, I never go near them. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
