Here is a comparison between a plain cutting an when I do some pencil torching.

I like um, but is it me or are the hooks uneven or are they supposed to be?

That is a happy key holder !...Like it !

I kinda like the torched one a little better John.  Both of them came out great.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks for showing us the difference in using the torch and not John.  I like them.  Couple musicians in the family would love them I am sure.

John, in this case the torching made the cutting look better, but, it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes, people don't know where to stop with their torching. Other times, they torch things that should never be torched. It's a balancing act, does the piece need enhancement or not?

I'm glad you did it 2 ways i like them both but am partial to the burnt one.

Personally I don't like the pencil torching but I do like the pattern and the cutting.  Well done John.  Could you tell me where you got the pattern from please?

[daveww1]

nice job on both of them

[olddust1]

I think the pattern was in an old Pat Spielman issue.

I like the plain one better, but both are nice. I have found that what I like is not necessarily what appeals to others and that is a learning process for me that still challenges me with every project I decide to make.  Thanks for sharing both of them as it keeps me thinking 'out of my box"

Each of us has their own ideas of what is nice!

 

I personally like the torching on many  things; this included.

 

Very nice work.

 

I use a small piece of pvc pipe schedule 40 with a slot cut across the end to install cup hooks. ( The same 5/8th ID that I use for the cheat on drill press, chuck keys etc.It is about 7 inches long and just right for better strength with arthritis!))-- It works better than a pliers for installing the hooks without damaging them.

I think they both look good. The tour he'd one does set it off a little. I like them both.

Everyone has their own likes. My preference is the plain one. Well done on both John.
