Popular Post Loskoppie Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi All this is two projects one is one of my first one that I can say I was really starting to get into the hobby. The other one is peace on harder and thicker wood I was lucky to get. Did it over the holiday was worried my machine would not take it as it was my first peace of hard wood. It was a champ was worried for nothing. The first one I used old X ray film and carben paper to put it on wood and drew the pattern on paper by hand. Then came the computer in our lives with the internet and all ye ha then the fun really began.

Blaughn Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Nice work, Barbara! As far as cutting hardwood goes, the only difference is the speed of the cut and the number of blade changes (due to dulling). I cut the pictured piece out of Jatoba wood (called Brazilian cherry in the US). It is extremely hard and dense (and isn't even remotely related to cherry). Jatoba makes hickory seem soft by comparison. Edited January 7, 2022 by Blaughn Charlie E, meflick, danny and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie E Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Great job on those! The lights look cool. I've cut on hardwood so much I probably couldn't control a piece of thin plywood. All in what you get used to I suppose. Loskoppie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I love the creeper, the lights make it pop. I assume you used spiral blades. The second piece is lovely too. Time well spent on both. Marg Loskoppie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loskoppie Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Thanks all. Hi Marg you will be horrified at the blades I used first in scrollng. They were pinless blades was hard and could not have been able to do what I do now. A person on a show of tools helped my hubby to change machine to hold pinless blades thank goodness for helpful people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loskoppie Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hi Blaughn and Charlie E So glad to hear what you had to say on hard wood and my machine is my place of peace (love it). As for working on soft and hard both not easy as soft is like cutting butter with a hot knife. It is just that crazy for me, both a have the hard bits but it is like a drug of choice for me (if I was on drugs) have to hard a time to handle life sober to get on drugs. Love all the input you guys give Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Barb, Nice projects and glad you are reaching out of your comfort zone. We need to do that every once in awhile to find out that we can do things we looked at as impossible and stayed away from.
