RabidAlien Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Spent all day yesterday in refresher FirstAid/CPR courses, so I hit the garage for a quick pattern today. 1/2" Plywood (not sure the flavor), cut with a #2 spiral, a quick once-over with a blowtorch to remove the feathers off the back (and to scorch the front, I thought the patterns raised on the back looked cool), then stained with Minwax Cherry stain. Hung crooked on purpose (mostly to mess with my wife's OCD, plus its a bit 'off' which fits my personality).

Foxfold Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 That looks brilliant. I wish I was good enough or brave enough to try spirals again, but alas, I'd not make something as good as this. Dave Monk and RabidAlien 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely at it, you can tell there were a lot of spots where the spiral decided to go its own direction and I had to nurse it back on track, or I got momentarily distracted and ate into the lettering a bit (or didn't cut a corner quite as tightly as I should've). Its a rough-cut piece, and I decided not to file it down because, honestly, I hate filing/sanding. LOL That, and it kinda works, with rough edges.

RabidAlien Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Sorry y'all, thought I'd added this to the library awhile back. Guess I didn't. I opened this and printed it as a poster, 200% size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
