montgomery0 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 So I have this $40.00 blank from the hardwood shop[.18" by 24"} and decide to do the dragon pattern in this months Scroll Saw Magazine I get the pattern centered in this beautifull wood, spray glue,drill all the saw gates { lots and lots } and realize its a floating pattern that did not require fancy borders, or frilly edges.... A piece of hard wood scrap would have yielded the same results.... So now I have to cut around the dragon so he { she} is exposed and still keep the dragon in this piece of expensive cherry...Gotta' re-de-sign the project in progress... Pays to plan your projects.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I learnt by my mistakes too. Now I only drill a few holes at a time that way if something goes wrong I have not ruined the entire piece of timber. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
