Alex Foz C-03 Basket

[Denny Knappen]

An Alex Fox Pattern C-03. I enlarged the pattern by 30% to fit 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood 10" square. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. Entry holes drilled with Grobet #68 HSS Twist Drill Bits. Finish is two coats spray Lacquer Clear Gloss with sanding on the Mac Mop between coats. Comments welcome.

Awesome piece, Denny. Just wondering, do you cut those on a 90-degree or do you give it some angle? And how in the world did you get a #1 blade to go through a #86 drill hole? You must have lubed it up first.

Ok Rodney. good eyes.  The drill bits should be 68 not 86

Very well done.  I like it a lot.

Wondering what Glue do you use?  I guessing CA, if correct...Thick, Medium or Thin?

And, do you glue every contact point on every ring?

Great looking bowl.

Another good bowl nicely made. The glue ups are usually the sticky part (pardon the pun) with and I usually use the white glue or sometimes Titebond.

Thanks Frank.  I use Titebond 11 and every other contact point.  It is still very stable.

Thanks Don.  You are right about the sticky part.  One ring at a time.
