Not Totally Finished, But Have to Wait for Spring

[Scrappile]

I just finished cutting this today.  I am excited because it is the third most difficult cutting I have made in all my scrolling years.   It is a  @Jim Blume pattern, (thanks Jim), and I copied the way I cut from a person named Elke Sachs Kohon Wiks.    If I got that wrong, I apologize. It is not finished, it will have a flat-black backer and Deft semi-gloss lacquer.  I cannot finish it in my house, the fumes are really bad for my wife.  Have to wait for warmer weather to finish outside.  It was a challenge, I used Pegas #1 Skip, Pegas #1 Modified Geometry, 3/0 FD New Spiral, blades.   Reason why it is nice to have two scroll saws if you can.  I was rolling back and forth between my two saws.

That is awesome Paul.  Congratulations on a fine job.
I too go between my 2 saws if I am using more than one type of blade.

Very nice cutting.

Here's my setup for blades for the Hegner.

When I found that I needed the small blade holder, I ordered an extra set of standard holders, 2 sets of small, and 1 set of larger holders. Since I use the quick clamp, this let's me have 4 small blades, 4 medium, and 2 large ready to go. And any mix of those sizes. I have a small dry erase board with the sizes written on it for organizing the blades. This makes quick work of changing blades when they dull or changing types when necessary.

@Scrappile Hey Paul, you did an outstanding job on that very difficult pattern.  Spring is right around the corner and you willbe able to finish you piece outdoors.  Thanks for sharing.
