Popular Post RabidAlien Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted January 20, 2020 It was mentioned that a Celtic knot that I'd given to my Mom (an early project, still learning my way around my first saw) was too small to be used as a trivet. Makes a good coffee coaster, though. The same conversation, I was asked about crosses as trivets. Easy enough to do, just make em big enough! So, since last weekend was taken up with funeral arrangements/events and no sawing was done, and this coming week is a business trip (no after-work sawdust), I decided to cram as much as possible into one weekend. LOL 1x12 whiteboard from Lowes for most of them, the "round" one is a 1.75" thick piece of battleship armor I believe. That thing was DENSE. Probably a pressure-treated beam, I nabbed several pieces from skids in front of local housing construction a while back. Went through three FDUR #7 blades on that one piece. meflick, Ninuninu, Scrolling Steve and 7 others 10 Quote

kywoodmaster Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 Nice work. I believe the battleship armor may be a piece of hickory. RabidAlien 1 Quote

I was about to Google and see if any pieces were missing from the USS Constitution....tell ya what, though, you put a pot on that thing, it ain't goin NOWHERE. Quote

Could probably park a Mack Truck on it and it won't go anywhere if it's Hickory. RabidAlien 1 Quote

Foxfold Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 Beautiful pieces. I admire your skill. Speed and accuracy is not my forte but you are so good at it. It would have taken me a week !! RabidAlien 1 Quote
Ninuninu Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Really love these pieces. So many ways Celtic designs can be incorporated into a piece of work. Good job, very nice indeed. Tony RabidAlien 1 Quote

I learned how to draw my own celtic knots quite a while ago now but if you go on You Tube and search for David Nicholls he has a couple of helpful tutorials. I personally prefer doing them on graph paper for more precision. Hope this helps Tony RabidAlien 1 Quote
