Popular Post cashew Posted March 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I've been cutting (and painting gluing etc) all month on this order. I think I'm done with circles for a bit -- way too many -- but I think I've got it down - wish I had paint down as well edit: sorry I should have put in what I was using I guess -- 3/8 Baltic with a #1 modified geometry -- the rest of it uses 1/8 - 1/4 - 3/8 - and 3/4 baltic 1.mp4 Edited March 25, 2020 by cashew crupiea, Wilson142, scrollingforsanity and 10 others 10 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl S Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 You have WAY more patience than I do, I would have used a router and a template and save hours of time. But you're finished product sure looks nice. Wilson142, OCtoolguy, new2woodwrk and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're finished product sure looks nice. I was just going to ask if using a router for some of those would have been faster and easier? Great job though - I need to make a bunch and am dreading the process OCtoolguy, scrollingforsanity and cashew 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhudson Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 You could use a circle cutting jig on a band saw and I'm pretty sure you can make one for a scroll saw. Regardless they look great!

OCtoolguy Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I sure hope you did the outsides on the bandsaw. A good circle cutting jig will do wonders. scrollingforsanity and cashew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I did all of them on the scroll saw --- I have one but I haven't had time to try it much less learn it -- the letters were all set without a jig either -- I tend to think a jig sort of makes the process less a part of me -- I love the space I get in while focused like this Edited March 25, 2020 by cashew meflick, scrollingforsanity, new2woodwrk and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, whenever I get in a Zen mood, that's when I either screw up or injure myself. Just sayin...... cashew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashew Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) actually not really zen per se-- more hyper focus and awareness -- the world goes away and all there is is the cut and the music Edited March 25, 2020 by cashew JimErn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
