Lucky me the Marine Carpenters threw away P.T.3/4"x2"x8' long pieces cut from many big wide boards. So right away I knew this will work for her. I hand planned the front and sanded, the back just sanded.will 123 zinzeer primer sealer tomorrow .thanks for looking 2' x15' glued with titebond 2 glue.W-E-E-T-R & P were cut with a spiral as I couldn,t urn the 2' wood. jollyred, frankorona, ChelCass and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkort Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 woundeful work!!! it looks great!!! I use both the regular blades and spirals for that very reason and because its sometimes just easer to not have to turn the wood in tight corners. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Nice work, Kevin! I just cut a pattern that was too large to turn on my saw but, instead of resorting to spirals (which I knew would end up being a disaster) I just drilled entry holes on the top of the letters and at the bottom of the letters so that I could cut part way around in a clockwise direction and then half way around in a counter clockwise direction to complete the cut, That worked out well for me with this particular project. Also, a member of Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts magazine mentioned years ago that on occasion, he put the blade in his saw backwards so that he could pull the wood toward him to cut rather than pushing to wood back toward the throat. I have used that on occasion also but, must really go slow and carefully because it is uncomfortable. You know what I mean, just not the way we have trained our minds to do things. God Bless!

Spirithorse I tryed the blade backward years ago and it was a disaster.i just wanted it done so extra holes ment extra work so I settled for the infamous spirals. They sure work muscles that have not been used and arm tiring too. Thanks for looking!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
