baggetta Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 The ship of the infamous Captain Bligh lives on in this wood piece. I cut the ship from sapele wood and the most difficult part is the beginning lettering, but not impossible if you take your time. I had a small piece of spalted maple I shaped into a top layer of the base and shaped another bottom layer again from sapele. Makes a nice piece for display. The free pattern above is available for download on my FREE PATTERNS page linked from the Index page on my website. New Video On YouTube I generally cut my signs with a 5, 7, or 9 Reverse tooth saw, depending on the thickness of the wood, so I don't need a lot of blade storage area. I came up with some little magnetic cases built out of birch ply wood which I attach to my saw so my blades are handy. So I made a short video on how these are made in case some other scroll saw users would like to build some. You can view the video on My YouTube Channel.

John B Posted May 18, 2019 Report Posted May 18, 2019 Nice pattern and cutting. The shipwreck and artefacts are in the Fremantle Maritime Museum in Western Australia. A great story. amazingkevin 1 Quote
