Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted January 9, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 A finished Alex Fox basket pattern C03 enlarged 30%. I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood 10" square. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. After sanding with a Mac Mop, I glued each ring and waited for the glue to dry, so the glue up took time. The finish is spray Lacquer Clear Gloss. Comments welcome. Dan, Matt B, barb.j.enders and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Very nice bowl, Denny. I'm sure cutting took some time also. Thirteen layers plus the bottom. But your time and effort paid off with beautiful results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don watson Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Well done with that bowl. I think it is the simplest of his designs and goes together really well if you take a little care. I use mine to hold sweets and visitors love it. You have a nice finish on it as well. I don't usually give mine a spray coat to finish. Very nicely done.

I don't usually give mine a spray coat to finish. Very nicely done. I agree, it is the simplest one, but 13 layers make such great looking effect. Some scrollers dont cut all pieces, I understand that smallest pieces are most difficult, but more layers - better effect. Nice cutting. don watson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Denny, great job as usual! Alex has some amazing designs and I have cut a few of them. The biggest challenge to me is the assembly. I have a tendency is to skew to one side. I built myself an alignment jig with a turntable. Also glue squeeze out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don watson Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 My biggest problem is finding the best/correct materials to cut them from. I have problems getting 1/4" (5 - 6 mm) plywood and wondered if mdf was a substitute ?? but I don't really like using mdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cutting didn't take long, just an afternoon at ArtCrafters. Cutting along with doing lots of other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) I inherited a professional solder/ glue dispenser when a hearing aid amp manufacturer I worked for went under. It is a pneumatic syringe dispenser. It allows you to control the amount of glue dispensed and has controllable suckback No drips! The unit was very! expensive back then. It is a EFD 1000 XL probably cost the company close to $2000. They still want crazy money for a refurbished unit, I just found a clone on Amazon that looks exactly like it. It is foot pedal controlled and can be set to continuous or timed dispense. I just have to find a reasonable source for the syringes. Here is a video of a different dispenser that shows what one of these can do. https://www.amazon.com/Dispenser-Controller-Adhesive-Semi-Automatic-Operations/dp/B07QVBMWZL/ref=asc_df_B07QVBMWZL/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=366352853698&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11461732102490602969&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004484&hvtargid=pla-795729708142&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=76503872856&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=366352853698&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11461732102490602969&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004484&hvtargid=pla-795729708142 Edited January 14, 2023 by Rolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
