Popular Post Foxfold Posted August 24, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 My first time using spiral blades along side my flat blades. I found the spiral quite 'scary', mainly because I'm relatively comfortable with my flat blades and I like nice 'clean' points and corners and the spirals gave me neither. . However, I'm not unhappy with the outcome and I can see that they have a place in my 'tool box', just not too often I think. !! barb.j.enders, Wilson142, munzieb and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I'd say that turned out very well. I saw a Charles Dearing Video a couple years ago where Charles was showing how he could make a sharp inside point using a Spiral. I never could do it. But he also never used less than a #5 spiral, I never use bigger than an 2/0 so maybe with a bigger blade it may be possible. In the half way done update you posted it looked to me like you had colored the eye on that tiger. Maybe it was just my eyes registering incorrectly, my eyes do some funny things. But it looked good... what happen? Edited August 24, 2019 by Scrappile Foxfold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just showed up very 'brown' against the white paper, I've done nothing to it at all. xx Edited August 24, 2019 by Foxfold Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 I hate spirals and have used 3 spiral blades to make maybe a 4 inch cut and that was only because the project was too big to turn with flat blades so HAD to use the spirals and I broke 2 of them. So I take my hat off to you, excellent job. Marg Foxfold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTCowpoke22 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Looks good. I share your opinion of spiral blades. They serve their purpose, but are not my preferred means of scrolling. Foxfold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill WIlson Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Well done Brenda. Now that you see what spirals are capable of and what you are capable of, you may find that you end up using them more than you might think.

heppnerguy Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 an amazing job. Your work is very nice and I can see that there is nothing that can stop you from taking on anything you think you would like to cut. I really like this one, too Dick heppnerguy Foxfold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 We have members here all female that learned on spirals and have stuck with them. Judging from your exhibit here I'd say the same was true for you!!! Your a natural with them. Spirals give the look you just can't get with a flat blade. Keep em coming!!!
