Popular Post heppnerguy Posted October 8, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted October 8, 2023 You may or may not recall a couple of weeks ago I posted a paper cut pattern of a little house tucked in among a lot of foliage. Well I received a lot of nice comments. I found still another paper cut pattern that was a little more challenging than the first one and showed it to my wife who immediately wanted me to cut that one with a matching backer board color. So I printed the pattern and set out to cut it for her. She was pleased with it and we hung it yesterday beside the first paper cut pattern containing the little house. I again cut the entire pattern with a #1 spiral blade and after a few hours had it finished. I used a 1/4 inch thick solid core Baltic Birch covering, of which I do not like the wood I used but it came out alright from the front side. Now my wife is happy having the new item on the wall and I was thrilled to find a project that challenged me to cut. Dick heppnerguy meflick, jollyred, JackJones and 23 others 20 1 5 Quote

Your backer is perfect for that cutting... Thank you Paul...This is now the sort of patterns that I really enjoy cutting because they keep me focused and a lot more time on the spiral blade. I look the results and they make scrolling really worth my time too Dick heppnerguy danny 1 Quote

jerry walters Posted October 10, 2023 Report Posted October 10, 2023 Dick, like everyone, it is beautiful. My question to you is, "How do you cut the paper?". Is it special paper or really thick? Paper is so flimsy. Jerry heppnerguy 1 Quote
rdatelle Posted October 11, 2023 Report Posted October 11, 2023 Boy Dick, you have some fine cutting their. I see a lot of blade changes. I still can't get used to a spiral blade. One of these days maybe. heppnerguy 1 Quote

I still can't get used to a spiral blade. One of these days maybe. I am with you on the spirals. I just can't seem to get the hang of them. Plus, they give me a lot rougher cut than my FD Ultra reverse blades. I am moving into doing more fretwork style pieces and have had success with #1 and #3 FD ultra-Reverse blades, but I know I could do bigger pieces if I master spirals. Sigh... heppnerguy 1 Quote

Yes there are a few holes in this one for sure. A little challenging and kept me out of the house for awhile, but one I enjoyed making Dick heppnerguy Charlie E 1 Quote

If it only took you a few hours to cut that, you're a lot faster than me. I use a spiral blade on them so it does go a lot faster for me that way. I really like getting back into the spiral and having some interesting as well as a little challenge cutting them. Thanks for the nice comment too Dick heppnerguy Dak0ta52 1 Quote

Maybe we consider a few hours in different terms. . I am enjoying the fret work with lots of holes to cut because the end results is so rewarding to me. Dick heppnerguy danny 1 Quote
