Popular Post kmmcrafts Posted January 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Cut these the other day, all cut on the Excalibur with either a FD-UR or a FD- SR #5 One of them or maybe a couple was done with a Pegas #5.. I was experimenting with the blades to compare the cut edge as I seen someone posted on FB somewhere that they liked the smoother cut left behind by the FD blades.. Got to say I do believe the cut edges are more of a smooth almost polished look compared to the Pegas.. Still like cutting with the Pegas better though.. LOL Also just trying to use up the 2 gross of each style of FD blade I have on hand..LOL Anyway, enjoy the pictures..

flarud Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Nice looking clocks! I've had two Boxers, one with the ears cropped and one with the ears natural,, I like the natural a little better. Can't wait until I retire to get another Boxer. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don in brooklin on Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Really nice. I am a die hard FD-UR user. Played with the Pegas MGT blade but still go back to the FD. I am sure it is what you get used to. Question. Do you modify the puzzle pattern or buy the non puzzle patterns or both? kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Don, I buy the puzzle patterns and put them in inkscape to add the 1/2" ish rectangle and the circle for the clock.. I don't mess with the puzzle pattern at all, I just modify what / where I cut on the puzzle pattern as I cut. I like the puzzle pattern because I can and do make the puzzles as well. FD blades was my main go to blade for many years.. I still like them but I do like how the Pegas cut slightly better.. That's why I have a boat load of FD blades.. there are times where the FD blade performs better than the Pegas on some stubborn wood, LOL Or maybe it's my muscle memory.

Foxfold Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Kev, can I ask how 'thick' your wood is on these ? I'm considering attempting one this summer. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering attempting one this summer. Thanks. I've been using 5/8" - 3/4" inches.. photos above are either Cherry or Poplar. I think you could make them as thin as 1/2" and be fine too, or even thinner stock if you cut the hole for the clock all the way through. I do think the 5/8" - 3/4" look a little better and stronger.. More than 3/4" kind of bulky looking to me but really most anything you like should work so long as the clock fits in the material well. I've been considering trying to make some with thin 1/8" material ( probably stack cut BB ply ) and cutting a solid slightly larger and thicker backer ( maybe 1/2" walnut or cherry ).. as these are sort of fragile if they was to get knocked over.. thought the bone shaped base is pretty stable.. but would be rock solid if the backer was a solid piece.. Though I'm still experimenting with these designs and time will tell if they need a backer for more strength as I sell them and see if they make it to the customer broken or not, LOL.. Don't think there will be an issue unless you live where earthquakes happen a lot and they get shuffled around a lot.. We'll see how customer feedback is in the next year.. danny and Foxfold 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 I like the addition of the clocks to these puzzles. Where can I buy these patterns? Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick heppnerguy Not really any patterns per say.. I just print the puzzle pattern and tape it to this clock part then use the bone shape base.. I kind of just wing it on the fly for cutting the dog / puzzle part of it.. Hope this helps clock Puzzle Base.pdf Dog Bone Base.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick heppnerguy While Kevin has given us a great 'base' for the clocks, the actual puzzle patterns can be found on Scotts site. https://woodcraftbyscott.com/collections/scroll-saw-patterns kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
