cashew Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) I finished one order and was hesitating on the next so I tried something else that scares me but is my own so I can screw it up without a problem. These are 13 hours into it -- unfortunately I have to start the next one so am shelving this for now -- maybe (or I could just be insane for trying this but it's working) 3/8 Baltic with a #1 modified geometry on a Pegas Edited April 1, 2020 by cashew crupiea, OCtoolguy, Scrappile and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badgerboy Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Rocky is right, you’re nuts but may I join you? Where did you get the pattern? cashew, scrollingforsanity and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashew Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 @Badgerboy The pattern came from an on line search for circle mandala's scrollingforsanity and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Looking good so far. A word of advise, don't drill all of the holes at the same time that way if you unrepairably muck up you haven't wasted all of the wood.

I saw a few strokes in oak to reduce the agressiveness. 2/0 and #1 blades try to run away on their own for me especially when I'm making a sharp turn.

OCtoolguy Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 That is an awesome project. I might have to give it a try someday. Not yet, that's for sure. I'm still struggling with cutting a large circle. cashew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) This one looks like fun. Anybody? I think it might take half a lifetime just to drill all the holes.

Scrappile Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I'd love to try some thing like that. And I may after I finish 3 other projects. You will make it. I find the modified geometry blades too aggressive for me on most thing, in fact I really only use them on 3D cutting. I do like the Pegas Skip Tooth blades thought and what I use most the time now. Please keep us posted. It is looking awesome. How big is it? Edited April 14, 2020 by Scrappile cashew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
