Popular Post Lester Willerton Posted August 31 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 31 I completed this Sleigh Ride. Pattern by Charles Hand. I stacked three layers 1/8 Baltic birch covered in green painters tape. Pattern attached with 3M77 spray. Cut with Pegas #2/0 and #0 and #1 spiral blades. Slow going. 13 hours seat time. Cut on my King Industrial 21 inch saw. My first project completed with spiral blades. It was a learning curve but I will use them again on similiar patterns. After getting rid of as many fuzzies as I could and sanding I sprayed with laquer. The one in the grey frame will go to a friend who took my wife and I and our kids and grandkids on sleigh rides through the forest on his property a couple times. Grandkids still talk about those rides. When I saw the pattern by Charles Hand in Scrollsaw Woodworking magazine issue 89 I knew right away I wanted to cut it for Al as a thank you. scrollerpete, barb.j.enders, Scrappile and 11 others 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollerpete Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 I understand the work involved because I cut this pattern also but with straight blades, you did an excellent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lester Willerton Posted September 1 Author Report Share Posted September 1 Thanks for the kind comments. It was fun to cut and I enjoyed the spiral blades and not have to be spinning the 11x14 workpiece when using straight blades. I will use them again but will still use straight blades on many projects as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPscroller Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 Great cutting on a super pattern. I cut same pattern several years ago back in the old days when I only used straight blades. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
