mikesscrollsaw Posted March 30, 2011 Report 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. Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Looks like quite a project. Looking forward to seeing it built. DW Quote

mikesscrollsaw Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Posted April 1, 2011 ok here it is....... I still plan on putting it on a piece of hardwood and box it in with plexiglass. Quote
realfEZ Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Eye-popping Mike! And you are so right about the printer issue! I confirm that with mine... Quote
campasano Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 WOW, That is awesome and very beautiful. It is so intricate, you should be very proud, make sure you enter that in a fair if at all possible. Mike Quote
mikesscrollsaw Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report 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
mikesscrollsaw Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report 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
toolbeltman Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Great work Mike...all the best at the show... Quote
WoodJunky Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Wow!!!! That really looks fantastic that will certainly draw a crowd at the craft show Quote
