Nickel Falls Posted September 18, 2020 Report Posted September 18, 2020 So I went to the upper peninsula recently and found this cool old lighthouse. Can anybody make a good pattern of it to cut? Thanks in advance. Quote

TDpainter Posted September 18, 2020 Report Posted September 18, 2020 I use sketchbook pro for all my patterns I first adjust the shadows and highlights along with the contrast to fit my needs and I still see most all the details, then I go in a draw over the picture free hand on another layer so I can switch on and off the picture layer to see how I am doing step by step and fixing places as I go with the help of a few tools along the way of course for getting straight lines. after I get the pattern done I then look over it and change places to that I think may be to small or hard to cut. meflick 1 Quote
ChelCass Posted September 18, 2020 Report Posted September 18, 2020 This is the Grand Island East Channel Lighthouse. It started use in 1867 and removed from service 1908/1913 (depending on info source) . It was in danger of being washed away so the Grand Island East Channel Rescue Committee raised enough money in 2000 to have a 300 long seawall installed and the light restored to rustic form not pristine like it was in service. Having lived in the Upper for the past 25 years I have seen this lighthouse many many time and it always makes me smile. OzarkSawdust, woodworker13403A, new2woodwrk and 3 others 6 Quote
