Popular Post munzieb Posted April 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I've got this thing with '30's cars. Found a picture of a 1936 Duesenberg. Love those big Drum Headlights, side exhaust pipes and grill. As usual, it took a whole lot longer to do the design (pixel Pacman) than the actual cut. I had to go big because of the grill. 19 x 12. I think I have the grill technique down. I score all the lines with a straight edge and a razor then stop the cut just below the top of the individual grills then tape everything down for support and then go back and cut out the rest. It made me nervous but it worked. Sequencing the cuts are important because there are a lot of large floppy pieces. Material was 1/8" BB with 1/4" backer. Another box may be next.

Woodmaster1 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Nice work, around here on Labor Day weekend you could sell a few of those for a good price. They have the Auburn Cord Duesenberg festival and auction every year. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 You are a master with these wonderful patterns you make and then to execute the cuttings that leaves my mouth wide open in awe when I see them. I look at the top of the verticle grill pieces and it appears they must be all individual once they are cut. That must be the part you are talking about that you taped, some how, in order to make those unbelievable cuts. Not sure I will every be able to be good enough to execute those cuts. This is a beautifully done project. Dick heppnerguy munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently saw a Toutube video on the museum also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love blue tape and going big helps! heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heli_av8tor Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I was thinking the grill was no big deal. Then after I read your cutting explanation I went back to the picture and realized that the verticals are not connected at the top. WOW! munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the cutoffs in place with blue tape and it works! Orbital sand the whole back to remove fuzz. Before lifting the whole pattern, remove the blue tape first and the individual pieces will drop out. I use "off" with an acid brush to remove the pattern. It lifts off easy.
