Popular Post Scrappile Posted January 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) This is one I started early last Spring. Then in June, my eyes got so bad I had to quit scrolling all together. Finally got my eyes fixed in October, in December I got back to being able to actually scroll again. Completed it today. It measures 31" x 24". 21 lines of text. The hardest part of the whole project it gluing those lines of text to the board. This may be going to a Church in Memphis, Tennessee. If that doesn't work out I will try to donate it to something...

rdatelle Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Paul, you did a beautiful job on that piece. Cutting out letters is a real pain. I don't know about you but I don't think I would even attempt doing that oath. Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidAlien Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 That is definitely one test of patience and skillz!!! Thanks for the link to the Declaration....may have to try that one myself at some point. I've always wanted a framed copy of the Declaration.....

trackman Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Was you able to stack cut any of the frame? That is the type of project you can’t get paid enough for the time spent. Outstanding job!! Scrappile and meflick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the type of project you can’t get paid enough for the time spent. Outstanding job!! Yes the top, sides and bottom are two pieces each. So actually a person could do all the frame work in four stacked cuts. I do not like to stack over two pieces at a time for something like this so I did it with 6 cuts. The framing is the kind of scrolling I really enjoy for some reason, so I do not mind doing it in more cuts. One thing Learned from doing the cutting of John 3:16, is to make sure the grain of the wood all runs in the same direction through the whole piece. If you do not, when you take pictures of it the light will reflect differently on the pieces with the grain going it vertical direction from the pieces cut with the grain going horizontal. Just a little tidbit I learned from past experience. WayneMahler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I used a spiral, FD 3/0 New Spiral Blade, was on the veining in the leaves. I cut them first with a small flat blade 2/0 size than go over them with the spiral blade.

Tomanydogs Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 @Scrappile Are you kidding me, that's wonderful. I was cutting 7" letters yesterday, thought I would get a cleaner cut with a flat blade, took me hours and I wasn't even half way through the letters and I kept messing up. Had to change out to a spiral blade. I simply can't even imagine tackling what you have done with a flat blade. Well actually I can't imagine even cutting a project like you have done with any blade. My hat is off to you. Well done. Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
