heppnerguy Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Does not look very difficult to cut but it is rather mind boggling to look at and it does look like it might be a tough cut to the eye. I will have to give this one a go Dick heppnerguy RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to give this one a go Dick heppnerguy its not an easy cut for sure, obviously depending on what wood you use and how thick it is. The one I posted was 3/4 red oak and the grain really made the piece what it is. I have people come to my place and spend a significant amount of time with it. While not seeming to be tough it is harder than it looks especially when you get to the really intricate few that are really really small parts as they get to the twister, also the two corner pieces top right and bottom left should NOT be saved till last. You should cut those prior to cutting everything on either side. I almost lost one but saved it. I ended up using tape to keep a lot of them together while cutting the rest of the piece as they seemed like they could break anytime. I would think that if the material you use is too thin it may not be strong enough heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
