Popular Post barb.j.enders Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Something I finally finished. As I was cutting, mistakes were made. Hubby saw it and asked about it. When I looked, I couldn't really see the mistakes. Put a coat of shellac on it and Voila! it is done. Never discount what you have done - I was ready to throw this out!

Scrappile Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Very nice. I think i saw that pattern somewhere the other day and thought about cutting it, just because I love sailing ships so much, well I don't sail then I love other people's sailing ships. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie E Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Very cool project! I can definitely relate to thinking something I did is trash and realizing latter that it’s fine. Glad you didn’t chunk it. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry walters Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Very nice Barb. Your hubby must have an eagle eye. Many times, when I'm cutting, I make a mistake, but of course I'm using a lighted magnifier to see better, which of course magnifies the mistakes. When I'm finished with the project, I can't find it even though I where it is. As they say, the person viewing your work has no idea what the pattern looked like.

Dak0ta52 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 If there were boo-boo's, you must have put a band-aid on them because I sure don't see any problem areas. Fantastic job! barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, it is an Alex Fox pattern that was published in Scroll Saw magazine. I did reduce it from the original size.

I overcut a couple of areas. Lesson learned - don't cut 1/8" as a single layer. He just saw it sitting on the shelf, mostly completed.

There are no mistakes they are creative modifications. I really like the base. barb.j.enders and jerry walters 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 It is a Alex Fox design and was published in the Fall 2020 issue of SSWWC (issue 80). I did the test cut and if I remember correctly I did three layers at a time of different woods, as you say cutting a single layer of 1/8 is tricky even with a high tooth count blade with NO reverse teeth (28TPI) the reverse tooth gap really tears up the thin wood. . The hardwood layers were sandwiched between BB and other less exotic woods. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 My problem id these patterns are neat, but at the cost of wood now day, multi-layered get expensive. May have to make an exception for that one. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, let me say the overall project is fantastic. But to your comment above, I/m afraid I can't agree with you at all. I predominently cut very detail fretwork in nom 1/8" panels and never have any problems with doing so one thickness at a time. I do use a better grade panel than common BB Ply which does help and I predomintly use spiral blades. I can maintain good control and usualy able to stay withisn the cut out area, but even then I do occasionally cut through and a piece may be cut out. Sometime CA glue is your best friend. When you cut thin material, you really need to use small blades and slow the saw way down in order to be able to maintain control. Don't hurry the cut and let the saw do the work. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
