hotshot Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) I'm pulling in a few Artist to begin designing patterns for the Scroll Saw Community (focusing on Coins). These pieces can potentially be blown up and cut in wood as well. My designers don't know my limits yet, so they are pushing the boundaries. The image below is blown up considerably, so those "strings" are even thinner than they look. If anyone wants to try this, or blow it up and cut it in wood, let me know as any pattern I'm commissioning will be free to the scrolling community. This pattern designer is Elizabeth Olsen. I like the way she thinks, so I'm excited to see what else she comes up with. ------Randy Edited December 29, 2017 by hotshot lawson56, Scrappile, MTCowpoke22 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Eisenhower is thick so that helps, but the side to side is pretty weak. I debated if I could polish it without breaking it, and ended up taking a chance to get it polished. It survived. I haven't decided if I will sell coins based on this design or not. I owe the artist one more copy of this design, so I have to brave it at least one more time.

I thought you super glued these to wood and then soak in acetone to remove.Polish while it's still glued to the wood .Maybe i miss understood how you cut coins ,sorry if that's the case.

Hey Kevin, I only glue very small coins to wood to help hold them, but I rarely cut coins that small. Polishing the coins before cutting is always a temptation, but the glue doesn't seem to adhere as well to polished surfaces. My worst enemy is pattern lifting, because when I get lift on very very small pieces, that little bit of pattern just tears off, then I have to cut blind, and I pretty well suck at that.

Lucky2 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Randy, all of the coins you cut are amazing, but I'd be scared of bending things out of shape by just touching them. Are they as delicate as they look, or is there no issues with handling them? Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem too with spraying paper patterns on wood .I'm so cheap to save glue alot of times i too have to hold the pattern down with a pencil to finish.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
