rdatelle Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Dumb question. I just for the life of me, I can't seem to cut this pattern. Is there a special way to do this.When I fold the pattern and put it on the wood and try to cut the top or the bottom, it cuts part of the pattern on the other side. I know I'm doing something wrong. Can someone figure this out for me. Thanks, Ralph. Edited March 17, 2020 by rdatelle OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjweb Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) I know one thing that you are doing right, I have been a Kyle Busch fan for years, the kid has talent, as for your problem I will wait and see what person can give some advice because I don’t know, sorry, RJ Edited March 17, 2020 by rjweb rdatelle, tomsteve, OCtoolguy and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson142 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 What size wood? OCtoolguy and rdatelle 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Ralph, it should be top and side. Fold the pattern exactly in half. Cut inside cuts on the top and let all the pieces fall out. Turn the block 90 degrees and cut the inside cuts on the side. Last cut the perimeter keeping the block intact.

Denny, I don't have a problem cutting the inside cuts, it's when I cut the top and bottom. If I follow the pattern where the curve part is and follow the line it cuts into the side of the other part of the pattern.

crupiea Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I printed this out and folded in in half. I dont see how this could work. It is supposed to be one name on top and the other on the bottom right? rdatelle and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I'm not the brightest light in the room but cutting the top and side should not in any way mess with the pattern as the reverse side is bare wood.

JimErn Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Seems to me that the problem is with the pattern when you cut the side that has Busch, the "holes" at the end of the word will cause drop outs in the adjacent side that was cut If you look at Brenda's nice cutting, both words take the same space horizontally OCtoolguy, rdatelle and danny 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsN Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 When you do the outside cut you have to put all the pieces together again to rotate to the other side. rdatelle, Scrolling Steve, OCtoolguy and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I don't know what the problem is here. I did something similar a long time back. I had some folks here help me with the pattern. I cut "Ray Loves Barb" on one side and "Barb Loves Ray" on the other side. It came out fine. I can understand though that the two tabs for the actual key chain to go through won't work as they aren't on opposing sides but on the two sides that are joined by the center line. One side only for the tab. Singular. Unless you want two chain holes that criss cross. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2woodwrk Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Um, who the heck is Kyle Busch? Did you get it figured out yet @rdatelle /Ralph? I'm on pins and needles waiting for the solution OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Ralph, this pattern should work. If done correctly, Kyle will be on the top and Busch will be on the side just like Brenda showed. One thing the pattern doesn’t have is a dotted line showing where to fold. It should be folded exactly down the center of the two names. Then apply adhesive and apply the pattern exactly along one edge of the blank. Make sure your blank is exactly square and most importantly, make sure your blade is a square to the table. If you want, I’ll test cut it for you to show you it will work. Let me know. For those that don’t know who he is, he is a NASCAR driver. He is one of those drivers that you either love him or you hate him. I’ll just say, I’m not a fan!

Ctutor Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 When I do 3d cuts I use a jig type clamp to keep everything in place until all the interior and exterior cuts have been made. Then I remove the scrap from around and inside the piece. The pattern looks like it will work. Just don't take anything apart until your are finished. rdatelle, danny and OCtoolguy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hi, Ralph, My guess is that your wood stock is the wrong size. In the Steve Good patterns, his wood size is 5" x 3/4" x 3/4" You have to make sure the pattern size matches the wood stock. If you use 1" wood as you said, you have to re-size the pattern so that it is 2" wide, very close to exact, and fold it in half so each 1" piece of the pattern fits the 1" wood stock. God Bless!

Everyone seems to think I have a problem cutting the name out. I don't have a problem with that part. It's the two ends that I can't figure out.

Spirithorse I did that. I cut the wood to fit the pattern. I ended up squaring up the ends and then rounded them off on the sander. Just couldn't get the end cuts right.

It would cut off part of one side of the pattern especially where the tab is. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 It's because you can't have that tab on both sides. It can only be on one side of the block. That way, when you cut it, the tab will run all the way across the block. Then, you will have to "trim" the sides to get a centered tab. It CAN'T be on both sides.
