John B Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I really like the Merry Xmas. The car is cool too. It takes quite a bit of practice using spirals, especially when cutting side ways and reverse. That would of been a challenge with flat blades.

amazingkevin Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 keep the spiral very tight and scroll very slow for control till you get used to them. doing the car in spirals is not something I myself would try. you did excellent on both projects!!!

heppnerguy Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I enjoy both of these projects. I know you have done some great work with spirals and they can be a little tricky. On patterns like this car one, a straight tooth blade does not give you the width you need to have for the pattern to stand out when finished. Hence, the spiral comes in handy to accomplish this. I am sure you probably are aware of what I am going to say next so use it as a reminder. Cutting the wider lines first with a flat blade followed by the spiral will give you a nice straight line without the waviness that a spiral blade might leave, on it's own. Thanks for posting your two projects, I like them both a lot Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
