Popular Post Joe W. Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 The sheet of 1/8th inch has been staring at me for too long, so I found this SG pattern and went for it. 7 layers if you count the backer (Steve did, so I'm going to too). For a change I timed myself on the top layer and it took just over an hour to cut it out. A little under 8"x10" Learned some more in the process . . . A torch is nice for burning off the fuzees, but be sure to clean off the ash/carbon left behind. I had to adjust the feed rate and saw blade speed - that took a few minutes to get used to. The plywood wants to bow - and that's not a bad thing as it gives more depth to the butterfly. But it complicates things a bit when it comes to framing it. Ah, the details never end, do they? Looking at it now makes me wonder how it would be to cut it out using 1/4" wood. Hmmmm. FrankEV, jollyred, crupiea and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Well done! Steve Good also offered a new pattern with a butterfly today which says Spring Time on it. I thought it was rather cute. God Bless! Spirithorse Joe W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
