That is a super cut of that pattern. A+
-
I have mixed emotions on it. I do like the knob on the Hegner, but I would hesitate to put it on a Ex. My concern is the EX has aluminum clamps and the bolts used on the knobs are steel. It would in crease the likelihood that a person might put too much pressure on the knob and strip the threads in the clamp. That is partially why I don't make or buy the bigger round knobs that are available. I also to not mind, nor have any trouble with the knob that is standard on the Ex. That being said, I do find this interesting and am anxious to see what the end results is.

Thank you for your comments. I just had to share the comment from my son, when I set him a picture of the Viking Worrior (keep in mind he is one of my biggest supporters) "Is that a tree in the background or a guy shot in the ass with his hands in the air in pain and praising God?" Cracked me up and now every time I look at the picture, that is what I see!!

That's darn cool!

Glad you joined us, Bob. I've been to Springfield, a beautiful area. Looking forward to seeing some of your scrolling.
-
Great pieces!
-
Wonderful piece of art. I also have the pattern, on my to do list. I do not know when all the "to does" will "get done"
-
I wax mine with Johnson Paste Wax about once a month.
-
Well done!
-
Kris, that is a beautiful scene. You did a great job making the pattern and scrolling it.

I did it with R R by following the instructions that popped up when I tried to open the pdf in RR. It was instructions on copying it to clipboard first and then pasted it into RR. I will try your method. I also thought there was a way to "smooth out" the lines of a pattern in Inkscape. Thought I read that somewhere, but maybe not. Thanks for the info, I will give it a try when I get some ink for my printer.

Well done!

Great scrolling. I have only made one portrait of a real person and it was a thrill to see how much he appreciated it.
-
Some very nice work there, Gordie.
-
Ha! T'is the season for trivet! I'm planning on joining in shortly. Those are great. Very nice cuttings.
-
Quite a setup. Great job!

Thank you all for the nice comments. I have no idea how many cut it was, Dan. Wish I did but I am not going to count them! It was a real feeling of accomplishment to make the last cut. What made it more difficult is it came as a PDF file, as 8" x 10". Too small for this type of picture, in my opinion. I enlarged it which made the lines much less distinct/sharp. I didn't know how to fix that on the computer, so I spent quite a bit of time redrawing the lines and figuring where bridges should go. It was a challenge. I need to learn how to enlarge something like this and still keep sharp. I kept a printout of the original size of the PDF file by the saw to look at as a guide. Thanks again for you comments. Very much appreciated.

I just finished cutting this last evening. It is cleaned up but no finish or frame yet. Turned out to be a 2 month project for me and two attempts before I finished. The pattern is from Woodworkers Workshop ( woodworkersworkshop.com/store ) and it is by Tom Mullane. I made this for my son-in-law to hang is his man den someday. He is of Norwegian ancestry and very proud of it so I thought he might like it.

Another nice one. I prefer the oak with more grain in it, however you can get Popular with neat grain and some very interesting colors.
-
I have the one from Kingspor and it is a good one. I intended to use it on portraits to remove the fuzzies from the back, and I have on a few less fragile ones. It worked good, but I am afraid to try it on more fragile ones. It would work good for fuzzy removal on the work art, and trivets and such. I have also thought it would be nice to have several with different grits on them. I do not like changing the refills. If I ever decide I can't get along without more, I will make my next ones using Steve Goods method.
-
Those are really nice. I can see why they like them. Great looking grandkids, by the way.

Between Trivets......Birdhouse Ornaments.....
Scrappile replied to Scrolling Steve's topic in Bragging Rights
Great work, Steve, as usual. I have quit a collection of mini bird houses from my turning days. I will need to start a collection from my scrolling days. -
Very nice!
-
Glad you joined us, Gary. I loom forward to seeing some of your scrolling.
-
Steve you are going to be know as the "Trivet Man"! Those look great. I cannot wait until I get my current project done so I can try some of those great looking trivets.
