Last-Minute Valentine´s-Day-Gift

[Sonny89]

Hi All,

I´m looking for an idea for my boyfrieds Valentine´s-Day-Gift... I have in mind to make a heart with my scrollsaw and burn a picture of us on it... (Pyrography)

As I do not have a tool to make a drawing that I´m able to burn, maybe someone of you could help me... I know... Normally only pattern for the scroll-saw are requested If it is not possible, I totally understand the point.

Here the pictures:

Or maybe someone has another idea Open for everything.

Kind regards
Sonny

You say burn?  Are you doing by hand or using laser.

If doing by hand, please let us know and maybe one of the members who are efficient in Photoshop or GIMP could turn into a black and while.

There is a great article by Kris Martinson to do this at https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/37187-using-gimp2-to-make-patterns/?tab=comments#comment-411356

If you are doing with a NEJE laser the software is included.

You can get a heart by googling clipart for heart?

Exactly I want to burn it.

I have something like that in mind:

And into the middle I want to burn the picture. I´m doing it by hand. So I´m searching for an "easy" pattern / drawing, which is a little bit easier to draw. So nevertheless a scrolling pattern should be the best. I think I want to saw it later this year, too! But until Friday is too short-termed :)

I really hope, that my English is possible to understand. Not as easy to explain that stuff at the moment. I think I need to have more training... Hahaha :)

Best regards

Sonny

I believe by *burn* she is talking about wood burning  aka Pyrography.  A regular portrait pattern would work for what she is requesting.

 

[Sonny89]

Thanks, that is what I´m talking about... The official word is pyrography... With burning it is translated not clear enough. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Sonny, here is a rough pattern that you may be able to do something with.  its for burning not scroll saw………...Paul

[Sonny89]

That looks great. I also tried it with an app to get something like that, but without success... Let´s see, if I´m able to handle it. Thanks so much.

[ChelCass]

Great pattern Paul.  That should work for Sonny.

Hi all,

I tried my current best and I think it is not too bad... of course it could be ways better and of course I´m not 100% satisfied... Some more training is needed for sure. And the wood also is not perfect... I think it is poplar plywood... This I had availalbe and it is easier for pyrography... Normally I just use it for projects I colour afterwards... 

Nevertheless I will give it to him. Look forward his reaction... hahaha

Wish you all a nice Valentine´s Day

Kind regards

Sonny
