mikesscrollsaw Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 This picture shows 4 pages of 12 pages of train parts. 23.5 hours into the finescrollsaw Victorian train build. This is a big project. All the train parts are cut with the exception of the tracks. Now I just have to put it all together. One note : Never use a home printer for copying patterns that interlock. The home printer skewed the patterns disproportionally. Meaning if you measure from left to right about 3 inches in youll notice it's off by 1/32 the half way across it'll be 1/16 then at the far right it was as much as 1/8 off. Needless to say this screwed up the entire project. Some parts had to be recut. I'm hoping to salvage the rest. Well see what happens during the build.

mikesscrollsaw Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks for the kind words. I wanted to do something hard and this definitely wasn't easy! Its going to be the centerpiece at the craft show next weekend. I doubt I'll sell it but it should draw a crowd maybe they'll buy my other stuff after looking at my train. It looks so much better in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Oh yeah and it took a total of 32 hours to complete. I was expecting 40 hours or more so not too bad. I've been rushing though to get it done for the craft show. (my back us killing me!). Also the printer issue i had caused major issues with the build. A lot of messed up cuts. I think I hid them pretty well but if your a scroller you'd probably be able to catch some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
