Popular Post RabidAlien Posted August 28, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Yet another kirigami piece from . 1/4 bbply, I found its cheaper to get the 4'x8' sheet and cut it down into manageable quarters than to buy the smaller pre-cut sheets. Single-stacked this one, so it used a lot of Pegas #0/2MG blades. Stains are Minwax "Natural" and "Honey". meflick, DickMira, Charlie E and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Very detailed piece with a lot of fret work. Cutting this piece with MGT blades had you doing a lot of spinning on the table top. The end results turned out great. RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting this piece with MGT blades had you doing a lot of spinning on the table top. The end results turned out great. It is one dizzy butterfly. Honestly, though, cutting the OUTSIDE was worse than all of the inside cuts, not only from the fear of lopping off something critical at the very last minute, but because all of those little twigs and leaves and stuff....LOTS of cornering.

heppnerguy Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Take it easy on yourself and try using a spiral blade on these fret projects. Sure make it a lot less stressful when you do. Great job on your piece. all the detail is there. Dick heppnerguy RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick heppnerguy I have a slew of spiral blades, but those things tend to stress me out more than spinning a flat blade around a tight corner. Its usually when something on the bottom snags the table on my saw and throws the blade into a good piece that I get to use my really juicy words. Seems like delamination is getting worse these days, need to start hitting the undersides with shellac again (helps hold everything together and cuts down on fuzzy edges). heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
