Popular Post Scrappile Posted February 8 Popular Post Report Posted February 8 (edited) 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. Edited February 8 by Scrappile Jim McDonald, RabidAlien, ChelCass and 23 others 21 5 Quote

wombatie Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 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. Marg Scrappile 1 Quote
Wichman Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 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.

Ber Gueda Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 Unbelievable... The detail of the warrior is awesome. Scrappile 1 Quote
stoney Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 (edited) That is a beautiful piece of work Paul ! I don’t know if I could cut that kind of pattern anymore. Have you tried Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic spray? It dries about as fast as lacquer and considerably less odor. Edited February 9 by stoney Scrappile 1 Quote
Barry5180 Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 Excellent work Paul! If that's the third most difficult, can we see pictures of your first and second most difficult projects.I love projects with that kind of detail. Scrappile 1 Quote

I may be too old, but worth checking. Quote

Barry5180 Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 Where did you get the locomotive pattern? That would go great hanging in the room with my model railroad. Quote
Dave Monk Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 That came out awesome. I don't have the patients for something like that. I don't know how you do it but if I were doing it I would glue it to the backer with spay glue and do all of my finishing later Scrappile 1 Quote
Peter N White Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 Incredible cutting a real master stroke. Scrappile 1 Quote
