Popular Post alexfox Posted April 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 15 Finally I have an opportunity to cut new projects by new scroll saw - Proxxon DS 230. In general, if you have a choice and financial opportunity, then I would not recommend this scroll saw, but at the moment for me it has some advantages. Anyway here is my first project in 2 year - 3D sphere. I hope such patterns will be popular: it looks unusual and eye-catching, interesting to assemble, it could be made of scraps of wood (as each piece is not large) and it could be assembled without glue. I plan to make more 3D geometric patterns, so what do you think of this project and such patterns?

munzieb Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Alex You always impress me with your creative projects. Right now I am "chugging" along on your train pattern. My wife bought it for me as a Birthday project. Paint/coating the orb with a reflective color and adding a LED light would make for a very nice Christmas ornament. danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAIrving Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Very interesting Alex @alexfox! Nice that you are back on the forum and back at the scrollsaw. The pattern looks like it has 2 repeated parts, many copies of each. Would it be ok to stack cut some of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am intrigued by the the drill you are using. What is that? I bought it just for $5 at Aliexpress (China store) - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006499218253.html Also it includes 0.8mm, 1mm and 1.2mm drills. It works from mobile charge block (not included). Very comfortable to use for thin materials (1/8-1/6 inches). Disadvantage - on/off button on the wire, I think it would be more comfortable on body of drill. I know there are many small drills at Ebay or Amazon, but they are qite expensive. Here is short review of this drill - Edited April 22 by alexfox barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
