1936 Dodge Pick up

[heppnerguy]

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.

Nice Job. I've never been a fan of the spiral cuts either, but like how this came out for you.

Slow and easy does it with spirals, A lot depends on the wood grain.You brought this one to life!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Holy cow what a fine job especially for using such a large spiral.  Great cut, Dick.

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.

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.
