Yup, I have one too!

Looks great Ike, you did a great job on it!

www.seyco.com has plastic templates in several fonts for letters and numbers. BTW, welcome to the forum Robert. Hopefully, you will like it here. There is a lot to see a learn from. Before you know it, you’ll be cutting circles around your dad!

Gonna have to start calling you Dusty Knees, Dave! You have done a wonderful job on this project!
-
You are doing an exceptional job so far! Keep it up!
-
Great looking project!

Ok, I’m a plumber. Technically it is called a hose bib. You can call it whatever you want, but I call it a hose bib.
-
Looks great Les, you did a very good job cutting it! That pattern is on my to do list. What is the finished size?
-
To help eliminate burning, I use clear packing tape on top of the pattern and all sides of the blank.

Even if you didn’t seal it, it would be fine to use. The toxicity is from the dust created from cutting. It should be sealed though. I have used it in cutting boards without any ill effects.
-
Look how far you have come since you first came to the Village Gary! Congratulations, it is well deserved!
-
Very nice Gary!
-
Use the other stuff for backer boards.
-
Excellent work on both Frank! I’ve been scrolling for 25 years and have never used a foot switch. I’m constantly moving my feet around from the chair footrest to the cross bar on the saw stand and the floor. Trying to keep my foot on a switch is just not feasible for me. But since I have never used one, I don’t miss it.

I cut the dados deep enough to accommodate the thickness of the blank and the backer board. The width of the dado depends on how much reveal I have on the work piece. Again, the frame is made to fit the project, rather than fitting the project to the frame.
-
Great job Gary! I make my own frames too. I mill the wood for the frame to the width that looks good for the project. Then use a dado blade on my table saw to cut the rabbit. I use a dedicated jig on my table saw to cut the miters.i glue the project into the frame so I don’t have to reinforce The miter joints. Making your own frames allows you to fit the frame to the project rather than fitting the project to the frame.

I wholeheartedly agree with Frank. You did a great job cutting, but not so great on the wood selection.
-
Karma? Murphy’s law? Just plain bad luck? It’s happened to all of us at one time or another. Just chalk it up to experience, and move on!

Both methods are effective. I don’t like the idea of nails in my wood for obvious reasons. I have used double stick tape but difficult to separate. I use two different methods. If I’m cutting portraits where I need the whole wood blank, I’ll use blue painters tape on the edges of the blanks. If I’m cutting items from the inside of the blanks like ornaments, I’ll use a hot glue gun and apply a bead of hot glue on the edges of the blanks. I’ll usually clamp the stack to keep the edges tight, then glue. Your cutting is excellent Gary!

It’s called a watch.

You did a great job Frank! Letters are alway difficult, even for more experienced scrollers!
