Gordster Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 A friend of mine's daughter is getting married next month,so I made this plaque for them...I still have to put the finish on.Most likely will be spray poly I had a couple of OMGs..I broke off the circle in the number 9. Searched through the sawdust looking for it for 20 minutes,no luck so then decided to cut another 9 and use that piece.that worked ok. Also,I decided to glue the backer on and kill two birds at once and glue in the little piece.I spent so much time trying to position it, the glue didn't hold on the backer,but I slid some in between and clamped it up...now ok...Lesson learned...add broken piece later lol. amazingkevin, lawson56, Phantom Scroller and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never learned to sweep the floor to make it easier to find a piece if need be.a drape around the scroll saw would save lots of time on my poor ole knees to looking for the missing piece.But cutting another piece is so much quicker but stubborn me insist on finding the original.This project looks so good I'm going to cut it and bring it to the lady that makes wedding cakes everyday and let her hang it on the wall for all to see.50/50 sounds good to me,I'm not greedy.I've given her plenty of Christmas stuff which she displays year round ,her name,Bible verses etc.Of all the people I've given things to only 3 have readily displayed them on there shelve ,desk etc for all to see.Really makes me smile to see my work in their stores!
