Rockytime Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 This is the first portrait I have cut. The pattern is by Worbler. Bitchbark and Multitom also provided patterns. All three were so good it was difficult to choose. I'd like to thank all three for their fabulous work. Also thanks to Travis for making all this site what it is. I think I made a couple of basic errors. 1. I should have stack cut two. That way each of my daughters could have one someday. 2. I cut this from 1/8" BB with a #1 Polar blade. Were I thinking I should have used a reverse blade as I had lots of fuzzies toremove. On the last few cuts I used a #1 FD Penguin Silver Reverse blade. Fuzzies gone. A couple of weeks ago I tried ordering a Klingspor mop. The site was down for two days and only accepted phone orders. Being deaf I could not do that so kind of set it aside. I got rid of the fuzzies but a mop would be quicker. GPscroller, Scrolling Steve, frankorona and 5 others 8 Quote
trackman Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Sometimes I will use a propane torch on very small flame. Takes the fuzziness off fast. By the way you sure married up! LOL Edited June 4, 2018 by trackman Quote
Charlie E Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 Great job on pattern and cutting. You married up didn't you. I know I did. Quote

blights69 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 Great job on both the pattern and cut and as for marrying up over here we say you are punching above your weight but you are punching way above your weight I remember the request for the pattern and you have made a great job of bringing it to life.

DWSUDEKUM Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 Excellently done Project. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote
meflick Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 Excellent work Les. Glad several were able to help you out and you had a couple to choose from. From that list of pattern makers, I am sure you had several excellent ones. As far as marrying up, I am sure your wife is very happy with her choice. As far as your daughters, you better get to cutting their copies. You know they are going to want one. Quote
Luperez548 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Outstanding job Les, thanks for sharing Quote
Dave Monk Posted June 10, 2018 Report Posted June 10, 2018 Great pattern and cutting Les. Your wife is sure prettier than you are. Quote
