BadBob Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 This doesn't look like much, but considering that I made 326 elephant ornaments, I think that deserves a little brag. These are cut from 1/2-inch thick African padauk I purchased from Ocooch hardwoods. Now I have orange sawdust all over my shop. Believe it or not, elephant ornaments are a thing.

FrankEV Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 If I had to make over 300 of those ornaments I would buy a laser cutter and program it to make them and, while thay are being cut, I would go make something more enjoyable on my scroll saw. If you are making that many on the SS to sell, to me that is no longer a hobby, it is to more like sweat shop labor. Sorry if you take ofence.

Wichman Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 Frank, when I am in the zone I can reduce the universe down to a 5" circle and let my CDO have full access. FrankEV and barb.j.enders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBob Posted November 22 Author Report Share Posted November 22 They were sold before the first piece was cut. Cutting them was not a chore. Sanding was the hard part. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
