JimErn Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 great work, I need to ask though, why did you start at the outside? not finding fault, just wondering if there was a reason since I would started in the middle OCtoolguy and don watson 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Late start, but some progress today.... Before I started scrolling, I drill all the rest of the holes today. Have to take a lot of care, would be easy drill in the wrong spot, because the cut out parts are not black. Glad to get that done because I was worried I would put holes where they should not be. I am having a great time. Drilling and scrolling I spent about 4.5 hours on it today.

dgman Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Looking great Paul! I noticed you aren’t cutting the traditional cutting from the center out. Any particular reason? Scrappile and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any particular reason? Nope, just didn't. Partly because I have never scrolled Maple before so I started along one side, and only drilled holes in about a 1" wide strip along one side. Figured if I run into trouble with the maple, I could just cut off the part that I had drilled and cut, and save the rest for some other project. Got started and just kept going around the outside. I like cutting the Maple. Also, I rarely start in the middle, now that I think of it. Maybe it is my wood miser-ness.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you are finding that hard Maple is very easy to cut or at least it is for me. I love how the cut edges come out so smooth and even shiny. Although I’ve never stained Maple, it does take a topcoat very nicely. OCtoolguy and Scrappile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted January 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Well, made it quite a ways this evening. All the way around the outside except for some of the "veining" that I do with the 2/0 size spiral. I just got tired again and you gotta know when to fold.... Know when to..... walk away.... The 4 larger areas not cut on the out side of the circle is because there are nails in them to hold the stacked wood together. They are scrolled last.

JimErn Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Looks really good, kudo's Be careful with the finger tips when turning the piece while doing the center cuts, some of those look pretty fragile OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Your friend is certainly going to love this, Paul! Amazing work! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse I know there is only about 1/16th" difference in the two woods you are using but, are you going to have to change the tabs when you make the final cuts on the outside edges? Just curious and wondered if you had considered that yet. OCtoolguy and Scrappile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comfort zone is on my EX. I was just wondering which of your saws was your most comfortable to you. Oscar Myer and Scrappile 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
