joscrolls Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 First time I do one of these...wasn't hard at all. Wood used is poplar. Quote
Fran Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Really nice work, Jo. That would make some nice Christmas presents. Fran Quote
Travis Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Wow. That looks great! How wide of poplar did you end up using? Was it just regular 1x6"? I've had my eye on that book too. How do you like it? Good job on the cutting! Quote
joscrolls Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Travis, I had some 8" wide poplar, yes, 1" (which is actually 3/4" for those who don't know the confusing way wood sizes can be ) The only thing they don't mention in the book is when you go to cut the basket part-at an angle-the HOLES should also be drilled at an angle. Otherwise, the book is very clear, and gives step by step instructions for bandsaws and scrollsaws. I actually use both-cut the straight lines quick with the bandsaw(like the base), sand it perfect with my disc sander,then cut the rest with the scrollsaw. Quote
Christina Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Beautiful basket Jo............thanks so much for sharing it with us. You did a great job on it. Christina Quote
