wombatie Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I have not posted for a while, but I have been working and taking photos but this is the first time I could sit down and post. I would like to thank Barry for giving me the opportunity to cut this pattern. It was certainly a heart stopping job but I love the way it turned out. It measures 16.5" x 12". There were approx. 402 cuts and it took about 18 hours just to cut it, that does not take into account drilling holes or sanding or framing. There was not a spiral blade in sight, just normal blades. Did I like cutting it YES. Did I think half way through 'what the devil did I want to cut this for, YES. Would I cut another NO. Hope you like it. Sorry its not a very good photo.

Barry5180 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 What a great feeling to see one of my patterns cut. Marg, you did an amazing job, especially since you cut it smaller than I thought would be safe and you used no spirals. I wouldn't even have attempted this without spirals. Amazing work, and the picture is fine. Barry wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
