For your 6 th. project it looks pretty good. It will all come with more practice. The main fault is your curved mines, with time you will notice them right away and you will be able to correct those and no body will notice . grading it with your Spencerian I will give your an A+

I use Olson's I get them at Medrds at a reasonable price. A little over the internet price but with shipping the cast is close to being the same.at $5 that; is only $0.45 per blade.and I usually get the one blade per project. I can live with that.

I use 1/4 solid core ply to cut a picture and my backer board is 1/4 under-lament ply for the back board,, the solid core oak cost about $30 per 4X8 plyu and the under lament cost about $ii for a 4X8 sheet.

when you come to the point where you want to turn stop do not move the part into the bblade, now turn without any pressure added , now the blade is facing the direction you want to cut , start cutting..
