Popular Post beaver Posted February 25, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just finished cutting and framing another great pattern by Jim Blume, '' Leopard, Who Goes There " Not as intricate as the first one I cut, ''Wagon Wheels" , but It was an interesting pattern to cut , having many sharp inside and outside cuts. I was able to resize the pattern to 10" x 10" and print it on my printer on 2 sheets of paper after after following a tutorial by Travis on " How to print oversize patterns with Inkscape". Thanks for the pattern Jim Blum, I'm sure I will be downloading and cutting more of your fine patterns. beaver RabidAlien, Scrolling Steve, butch1008 and 19 others 21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Great job, Elzear. I also love cutting Jim's patterns. Did you cut that with regular blades or did you use a spiral? beaver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaver Posted February 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Thank you all, really appreciated. Rodney, I always use regular flat blades of 28 tpi , I tried to use spiral a few times but don't like them. And goldfish, there were only about 500 entry holes and took about 24 hrs of cutting. Great way to pass time and relax. Jim Blume 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Blume Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Awesome job. I was a little concerned with the whiskers, but it looks as though you had no problem there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver Posted March 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Thanks, no problems with the whiskers with the pattern sized to 10'' x 10'' , but like I mentioned in my post, there were many sharp inside and inside cuts that required a lot of backing up to get a really good cut. In all it was a very good pattern to cut, really enjoyed it and again thanks a lot for the pattern. Jim Blume 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that in doing that. you will end up with a sharper portrait once completed. I was taught that way, ah, well, let's just say a few years ago, and the man who taught me called it "Classic Style". Regardless of what anyone calls anything though, You certainly did a fine job on this one. All we had when I started was straight blades, and not too many choices either. Today folks are fortunate but maybe too in too much of a hurry. What you described there does take some extra time, and I think it is worth it. What we do is not meant to be a race, is it? LOL I'm still marveling over the Wagon Wheel one you did some time back. You obviously enjoy your time on the saw to be able to do these rather insane patterns. Ber well Pard.

beaver Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Thanks for your comments Jim, I just use straight blades in all my cuttings, tried spirals a few times but didn't like the results and my cutting ended up in the scrap pile lol. My brother looks at my cuttings and says that I should get my head examined , says that he sees some of these cuttings in magazines and thinks that no body in their right mind would attempt those patterns but comes to my shop and sees that I cut them ,LOL. I enjoy cutting patterns and will be doing another one of yours soon. I don't know if you saw my cutting ''The Gate Keeper'' in my album but now I am cutting out a picture of just the face of the dog, that I enlarged to about 10'' x 10'' using Inkscape , after following a tutorial by Travis on how to print oversize patterns on regular printer.
