Popular Post Old Joe Posted October 12, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I just finished this Mike Williams pattern. I like to cut portraits pretty small and I cut this one 9x6 inches. It made for some pretty intense scrolling, all done with Pegas 2/0 spiral blades on my Pegas saw. I hope you enjoy it. I haven’t posted on here in a while, though I scroll almost everyday. I was deeply saddened to see the news about the passing of Les. This community lost a very encouraging contributor.

Dak0ta52 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I've seen that pattern and almost got it to cut myself. You did an excellent job. Still may fall on my "to do" list down the road. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the challenge of cutting intricate patterns as small as I can without ending up with a muddled mess. It’s getting harder, mainly due to developing cataracts.

FrankEV Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Great job on a great pattern. Those 2/0 sprirals do wonders, but realy tough cutting when the drill hole is almost as big or bigger that the cutout...I know I've done many.

I have learned to get along with them to a point that I depend on them too much sometimes. I wish they made even smaller ones. I bought a kit of circuit board diameter bits and open the holes as needed from the back side. Of course I do occasionally bend a blade and then sometimes they break when I clamp them in too tight.

I break more blades because they get kinked when threading them through the drill holes. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
