Router Pony

[Foxfold]

Asked to do a 'Dales' pony and this is the closest I could get. A5 size so quite small, but hey 'the customer is always right' !!

Really nice Brenda. I bought some bits after you posted your first router piece. I need to get a smaller router I’m anxious to try it.

You can get a reducing collet to fit your bits and router.

Thanks for showing Brenda. I have a Dremel 4000 router that I use on my CNC machine. It has those little bits about 20 or 30 degree tips and VERY sharp.

I have sent a PM about the 3mm ply, no rush.

I'm not sure the customer is always right but the customer is always the customer. You really have a knack for creating with the router!

It’s great work Brenda! Question, is it easier to use the router than scrolling?

In some respects Yes.  But it has it's own set of problems. If you sneeze unexpectedly that darn machine can skid across 3" of wood and fair ruin a piece. Don't ask me how I found out about that   The whole 'process' is longer I think. Put pattern on wood, cut outline, clear out what's not needed, apply sanding sealer + wait to dry, apply paint and wait to dry, sand excess paint off, apply laquer and wait to dry.

So all in all I find it a little easier and very enjoyable but I do love scrolling. !!

That is a handsome piece Brenda.  Excellent work.
