Popular Post britetomro Posted May 4, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 This is my second pattern by Charles Hand. The Dragonfly measures approximately 9" in diameter. I used Corian due to the possibility of using it as a trivet. After completing I knew with how fragile this piece was, the only place for it would to be mounted for display. Corian is an easy material to work with but you have to run at a slower speed in order to create less friction which can melt the cut material together and create problems. I used a #5 Polar blade and used a total of 11 blades for this project. Cutting time on this piece was 14 hours. In the end, presentation is in the display. I used maple for the frame and black felt on the back mounting bo ard. Will be doing some additional work on the frame next week along with the finish on the frame. spotsdad, Heli_av8tor, frankorona and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 That is beautiful work you've done! Where did you obtain the Corian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britetomro Posted May 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Foxfold, Got me on the Phantasmagorical, however I do appreciate the word and the meaning. Thanks for the comment. Rockytime, Corian is only available to licensed fabricators and installers of the product. I live in Orange County, CA and have visited a few of these companies. Sometimes they have cutoffs or scrap pieces which are destined for the waste bin and they are willing to let it go for free. A couple of members of our Scroll Saw Association will also go to selected locations and pick up their waste by the truckload and our members will have access to what they want. The top of the corian will usually have some kind of pattern for display in the countertop. Many times I will cut the pattern from the bottom of the corian because the material is more consistent in its color without the changes in color with the pattern. Corian is a fun material to work with and many times easier to cut than wood since there is no grain lines like in wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britetomro Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Again, many thanks for all of the great comments. Amazing how you can transform an item designed as a trivet into a piece of art by simply by its presentation, by being mounted and framed. Thanks again, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
