GusGustin Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 I thought ... I might want to post what it MIGHT look like - BEFORE - my 8 year old grandson paints it and the backer board. He is very interested in helping. I let him cut some stuff on my RBI HAWK while I worked on the Pegas on this. He and his sister. So .. this is what it looks like BEFORE the finishing .. I'll post it up how they did on .. that .. when it's done. hahahahha .. ya gotta get 'em interested in it before they get too old to get interested in anything, right ? I may have to buy another scroll saw. hahhahahaa. So they don't argue over who gets to use the one I'm not using at the time. jollyred, meflick, Woodrush and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkort Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 They did a GREAT job!!! I jus bought a new scroll saw for my grandson for christmass. I have it set up here for him to use when hes here so hes learning to scroll on his own scroll saw. I wish he could come down more often so he could scroll more often, he wants to make Christmas presents this year. if he dosnt have any trouble using the new saw and changing the blades I want to start him on some fret work. I hope his parents will bring home down to visit a little bit more between now and Christmas... by the way love your cut to!! did you make the pattern yourself? and is the little boy with batman your grandson? my grandson is 9. we really do have to keep teaching our children crafts least they become lost . amazingkevin and GusGustin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Robin - but - he looks a lot like BOTH of my grandson's .. I changed it just a bit in the face, but, it's the same as when the pattern was given to me. If you message me or email me - I can send you the pattern. It needs cleaned up a bit. I did before I cut it - but - once I started cutting there was a LOT of "field changes" hahahaha. I could clean it up a bit for for you, if you want. Or .. you could. My email is bykergus @ gmail . com I didn't see anywhere on here that says I cannot put an email address on here. I don't think.

Yeah .. the "thought bubbles" .. I tried cutting this on one type of ply - first thing I did was to cut out the "thoughts" as I thought those would be the toughest to do. But - in doing Mase's eyes .. one of them BLEW out .. so my wife had the idea - cut out the thoughts - and - glue them on top when you're ready to make it look like they are standing out. Sort of layered or 3d. Great IDEA !!! I don't want to cut those out again. So - I switched to a 5 layer BB ply and went at it again. I'm thinking about making the backer board into layers - and - putting a CITY SCAPE being "Bob" and "Mase" .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
