Thank you Marie. I got some 0 Pegus Skip tooth blades from Denny at Artcraft. Went through 10 blades that went dull but only one broke. Tried to use 0 spiral blades on the trees but since the holes were so close, the gap fill up so fast I could not see the line. No luck with Spiral Blades, I'm just a skip tooth guy.

Alex, Thanks for the great patten. Some areas were a challange but it was a joy to cut. I did add some bridges when I thought some pieces would become too floppy. I actually stack cut this to make 2. No harder than cutting one. 1/8" BBPW on 3/16" backer. Shellac and Gloss Lacquer finish.

Denny, those came out great!

Nicely done, The veining detail adds to the apperance of the project.

Welcome to the village. You will find lots of help here. One of the finest scoller and pattern maker is from Spain. Pedro from finescrollsaw.com. Amazing patterns.

Alex You always impress me with your creative projects. Right now I am "chugging" along on your train pattern. My wife bought it for me as a Birthday project. Paint/coating the orb with a reflective color and adding a LED light would make for a very nice Christmas ornament.

Not really cool, just running out of wall space for plaques.

Funny how an old crank can bring back fond memories.

Just dropped off Chase's plaque. Very happy with the results!

Paul, that is a pretty impressive back story! I'll call you the next time I need a fill in copy for one of my projects. That was quite a story.

I have been using my local UPS store to enlarge and clean up my patterns and the manager, Chase, has been very helpful. Told him I would cut a car for him. He has a Jeep Wrangler Sport and loves to drive it on Folly beach in SC near Charleston. All the hardware on the front and the treads on the tires were the hardest part to cut. The rest is mostly straight lines. I did the "Paint-in" method on the tires and around the windows. I'll give it to him tomorrow when I drop off some packages for my wife. BTW, I tried to buy a Jeep pattern from H. Botas and even emailed him and looks like he has stopped selling them. He mentioned about going through some changes? on Facebook.

Dick, that is absolutely stunning! I have to believe that was a difficult project especially since its a one-off. Well done!

The original Photo. This was the hardest project I've ever done. I am not a designer, I'm only a pixel eater using MS 3D paint. Too old to learn newer software. Paul did fantastic cutting. Something to be very proud of. It only took him so long to finish because he kept going back to playing his street organ, Ha!

I agree, better than the aerodynamic turtles we have today.

Loving those blades. Thanks for the help!
