Popular Post tomsteve Posted November 28, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 i found alex fox patterns on etsy . pretty awesome pattern makers. found these layered bells and thought of a couple people that may like em for christmas. soooo- there i go! making them with 1/8" BB ply, i THOUGHT:' i want to make 3 of these. 4 layers=12 pieces. lets see if i can stack all 12. cut the bottom layer,remove 3, cut the next, and so on." that worked for about 1 1/2" of cut.apparently no blades i have care for 1 1/2" of 1/8" ply to cut. that only about 36 ply! pulled 3 off the bottom so only 9 layers of 1/8". made it to where the last set of 3 and isnt cut and conceded that 9 is too much for me. todays project- get them last 3 cut then do something i very,very rarely do with scrollsaw work- paint. all in all, these are some pretty nice patterns and easy to cut-just not in 36 ply.

Foxfold Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Well, it goes to show. You learn something new everyday. Never a 'mistake' just a learning curve. My mother used to say ''More haste, less speed''. They'll look great when they they're done tomsteve, OCtoolguy and wombatie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yeah, gets tough when you add up those layers.. When I make my wall hang clocks.. I stack cut 5 1/8 BB ply which goes great.. but I also like to cut my backers 1/4" solid walnut or ply depending on what I have on hand.. so I end up stacking the 5 1/8" BB ply and 5 1/4" walnut ply together.. It's pretty slow going but sure is nice that it's only cutting the outside of the clocks.. I'd never do that if it was inside cuts too, LOL Takes almost as long to cut the outside part as it does doing all the detail fretwork OCtoolguy and tomsteve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
