loftyhermes Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Here's my cutting of Amy's horse from Russell's (Birchbark) pattern, thanks again for the pattern. It's 10" x 8" 1/8th ply, with white card behind just for the photo, finished with Danish oil. Cut on a Hobbies A1 treadle fretsaw using Olson 2/0 crown tooth blades in just under 3 hrs. As usual apologies for the photo, using the phone again. happy scrolling Steve amazingkevin, lawson56, bobscroll and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Steve, I have never seen a leg powered saw before. I would really like to see a photo of you working on your machine, if you would kindly post one for us. The darker background sure makes it stand out well. a good job from start to finish. I enjoyed your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loftyhermes Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Heppnerguy, here photos of the two A1's I have, I can't use the saw and take a photo at the same time so you will have to wait for a photo of me working. Russell, my legs will be OK, I'll leave the treadle alone for a while then I've Tutor's pattern to have a go at but with spirals. happy scrolling Steve Edited September 25, 2013 by loftyhermes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
