Great looking box. You did a wonderful job.
-
Looks like you've done a bang up job of cutting an icon. Is it an Alex Fox pattern?
-
What saw do you have?
-
That one turned out nice for sure.
-
Looks great and a nice thing to do.
-
Looks good. Would look even better with Rams.

Don, that is beautiful. Lucky having a friend with a lazer cutter. I have not made a napkin holder but I did cut a couple of the wheels in anticipation of making a holder.

Collecting patterns is just another hobby in itself!

Hi JT. I don't want to top feed. Bottom feeding works for me. When I saw the Hegner modification I thought what a great idea. If I did that I would gain a little extra space to allow me to lift the wood a little higher and make it a little easier to thread the blade. However measuring my saw I could gain about one and a quarter inch before hitting the accessory arm. I was drilling with a #60 drill and trying to thread a #1 blade through the hole. I solved my problem by using a #55 drill and a #3 blade. So now all this becomes academic. I guess I caused a "Tempest in a Tea Pot." Anyway I enjoyed the interaction. Lots of camaraderie here.

Kevin, you did an excellent job of discussing this. I'm going out to the shop now and do some measuring. Thank you.
-
It's easy to just drill a hole.
-
That is a great piece!
-
The accessory does get in the way. My Lock-Line blower is on a swing arm. My light is pretty low and could be in the way if I took out the bolt. Thanks.

That is very nice cutting! Since there is a lot of veining I'm wondering what blade you used for it.
-
I don't want to hijack a thread so I'm starting over. There is a discussion about the Hegner boss that prevents the upper arm from lifting too high. A solution was to cut the boss from the casting and drill and tap for a lower boss. The Hawk has a boss but not cast as part of the frame. It is just a 1/4-20 bolt with a rubber tubing over it to provide a cushion. I'm cutting a pattern that needs #60 drill holes. I'm using a #1 blade and am frustrated trying to thread the holes. I can drill a new hole and replace the boss lower. Have any of the Hawk owners here done this? I don't want to buy another saw to top feed.
-
That is a great idea!
-
Perhaps it is something called veining if I understand your question. Fine lines are cut with a small blade. Some scrollers use a small spiral blade to make the fine line a little more noticeable. Not being a wordsmith someone may explain it better.

Might be easier to just buy the clock.
-
Got to say that on my Hawk bottom feeding on larger pieces with #60 drilled holes it is no picnic.

I made my first order to Ocooch. Should be spelled OUCH to be accurate. I'm not complaining about the prices but just the price of wood in general. I live about 25 miles from Woodcraft and there are no bargains there. One a month they have a sale on a couple of varieties of wood and if I am in the neighborhood I will purchase some. I get my 1/8 and 1/4 inch BB there but I just usually go to Lowe's or HD and satisfy myself with Poplar and Oak. Living on a fixed income causes me to be judicious in my spending.
-
Love that pattern! I just now ordered it and downloaded it. Tomorrow I go to Office Depot and have it copied in red and start cutting.
-
I love cats and that is a gorgeous pattern and excellent cutting!
-
Looks great Dick. Will look even greater after painting. Too bad I won't see it.
-
WOW! Looks great!
-
My wife wouldn't know what it is being an inlander from Alberta, Canada. As a kid i don't ever remember having sea food of any kind at home. Your cutting great though!
