Birdie on a Spigot

[Rockytime]

Thanks to Foxfold aka Brenda for furnishing the pattern. I'm probably the thousandth person to cut this pattern but I have admired it every time I saw it. 1/8" plastic laminated BB, #0 Pike blade, black card stock backer.

Great work on this one. The laminate really sets it off.

Great cut

Looks great Les, you did a very good job cutting it! That pattern is on my to do list. What is the finished size?

[Rockytime]

Did not measure it exactly but nearly fills an 8-1/2x11 page. I think the blank I used is 9x11-1/2.

Love it, Love it, Love it.  To me it would be called Bird On A Tap, I have never heard of a spigot before.

Happy to have played my part in such a lovely cut.  Nice one Les. !! 

There's another one you know ?  Not done as often perhaps but just as nice.  A matching pair would be good

On this side of the pond a tap dispenses beer. I think faucet is used perhaps more than spigot. I'm just old fashioned.

I had not heard of that but would like to see it.

I call it a spigot also Les and your piece is beautiful.

Yep a  TAP is for dispensing beer and FAUCET is what dispenses water into a sink...this is really a HOSE COCk...the plumbing term for that thing that sticks out the side of a foundation  or on top of a yard hydrant that you attach the hose to.  I agree, spigot is an old word that is not much in use these days.

Ok, I’m a plumber. Technically it is called a hose bib. You can call it whatever you want, but I call it a hose bib. 

[OzarkSawdust]

I prefer TAP...but than again, I prefer BEER !

Lovely clean and crisp cutting

Curious about the plastic laminated BB, is it wood or plexi?

It is 1/8" BB (wood) but has a thin plastic like lamination on both sides. I don't know the official name of it as I got accidentally when I ordered regular BB. I did not notice it until I got it home. I was surprised.  I can't call the dealer for the name of it as I'm hearing impaired and can't use a phone well. Next time I order my wife will make the order and make sure I get the same thing. It cuts beautifully and leaves you with a great finish. Don't have to sand it either.

Wow! That's quick. I appreciate the pattern. I only have two patterns ahead of it. My current project is the John 3:16 heart I am doing for Christmas. 2023 that is. It's going SLOW.

I have it in my 'library' of patterns Les, so just had to push a few buttons    Enjoy, when you have time. xx

Great work Les. I'm with marg on this one up this way it would a tap also. But anything that dispenses liquid is a tap up here. Turn tap and put some water in the sink, beer is on tap, turn on the tap for the garden hose etc. Lolol
