This one almost broke me. My son in law asked for it for his birthday, yeah no problem says I. Well after cutting the back twice and the front twice, I almost said no more I give up, yes I was ready to walk away from scrolling, it just got to me.
I cut the back and started to spray it but the paint bubbled, so I let it dry and sanded it off. I resprayed and it bubbled again, so I went to buy some more paint only to find out that that color was no longer made. I ended up buying engine paint. That worked fine. I cut and painted the front and cut the cardboard center and then the day before his birthday I went to put it all together. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the front was too big for the back. Somehow one of the patterns that should have gone in the recycling ended up being cut, so I had to cut another piece. The only one I had no problems with was the cardboard center. Well it all done now and I will give it to him on Sunday.....He had better like it.
The back is 3/4 inch pine and the front is 3mm ply. I used Olson Mack 3 blades for the back and Reverse Tooth 2/0 on the ply. Oh and the pattern was by scrollarific.
