Popular Post DavidC Posted December 15, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 After six months of learning and practicing with my scroll saw, I decided to tackle a big project and a Chritmas gift for my wife. My concern was cutting straight lines. For my previous projects I milled my own wood to size. For this project I wanted to use 1/2" Cherry with a Maple base. Right off the bat I started dealing with cupping which made it a lot more difficult to cut. Lessons learned from that. My best decision was to try the Pegasus modified reverse tooth blade. I cut the entire project with the 0/2. They did a great job of tracking a straight line. Anyway I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. spotsdad, frankorona, JAC1961 and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What glue did you use to assemble it? I had only one glue section in the tower itself which I used Titebond wood glue then held it together with rubber bands. The pattern was created by Steve Good and was supposed to be three sections. I made the base to fit very tight, but did not glue it, just in case she wants to hang this on a wall.

heppnerguy Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I cut the same pattern a couple of years ago, but I used BB Ply. Yours looks way nicer then mine as the wood choice certainly made it stand out better. I also like your finish work. Very nice piece. CONGRATULATIONS on a perfect gift Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomanydogs Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 That looks great David. You did a wonderful job on the Eiffel Tower. That was quite an ambitious cut. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
