Getting Ready for Son's Retirement

[Scrappile]

Just took this off the saw and laid it on a backer.  This was trickIer than I thought it would be.  Some very fragile areas and I was doing it with flat blades on a new saw.  Took me some time, I had to go real slow, but I am getting some practice with the flat blades.  I used a FD-PSR. #3.  The pattern is by J. Lawson.

 

Thanks for looking.

It doesn't matter how slow it was cut, sometimes slower is better, less mistakes.  I can see a few breath holding cuts there Paul but you did an amazing job.  Well done.

Still plan on making the mounted helmet.  I will pick one of his up in June when I see him next.

Very nice.  You got your ATTA Boys from Kevin.

Paul, You did a really great job on cutting out the pattern by J Lawson,

Thanks for letting us see your work, Bob           

[LarryEA]

Congratulations to you and Spool! Thank him for all his service and God Bless!

Beautiful job you did Paul.

[TripleJScroller]

Wonderful job, he will love it!  I'd have been a nervous wreck cutting that!

[heppnerguy]

Paul,

    That is a wonderful tribute for his service. You can now take a deep breath as  none of the pieces fell out. The flat blade you used is my favorite blade for this kind of work. Nice job.

Hope to see you before too long

Great  job Paul, its very well done and I'm sure a challenge for a spiral blade man. Guess we should all practice with the other blades as some projects just need that different touch.

[Smudger]

Excellent work, well done
