It looks like you got some good advise. Yes, stack cut and use a smaller blade. On my project last Monday, I used Pegas#3 Spiral only because I had excess stock on #3.
Hi Kevin. Having worked in Walmart meat department for 5 years, they have large boxes. The ground beef comes prepackaged in boxes that are just right for this purpose. Check out Walmart meat dept. I also use them as a spray booth.
Thanks for the comment. For this one I used the Pegas #3 Spiral blade, actually three for the project. Left a lot of fuzzies, but the Sand Flee cleaned them right up.
The pattern is by Gary Browning and found in his book "Wild West Scroll Saw Patterns". I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood 8" x 10" and backed with a black mat board. Of course framed at ArtCrafters. It was cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw with Pegas #3 Spiral blades. I chose this pattern to try the Pegas spiral blades. Very impressed with the blades. The finish is one coat sanding sealer and two coats spray Polyurethane Clear Satin. Comments welcome.
