You can make it white quite easily and just have the 'red' lines, I find that too stark a contrast, but then I'm quite contrary
-
Me too. My memory won't fit them all in.
-
Welcome.

I too prefer 'Red', but I did mine with a grey infill. Red is much easier on my eyes although I know that a lot of experienced scrollers prefer black.

I have finished the plaque that I showed before, but the finish isn't quite as good as I'd like. I used a spray varnish, but obviously didn't get it quite right. May I ask how you all get that 'perfect' finish I always see on this forum ? There's a 'run' on the right and it's not quite as 'shiny' as I'd thought it would be. Or am I being ''too picky''

Welcome

Wow, I started scrolling this summer and can't even cut 1½" wood with normal blades yet. Hoping I'll master it with practice.
-
Oooh, nice. I couldn't have done that in my first 6 months. Brilliant. Oh, and welcome to the village x

I got Olson #2 as I thought at least if I could 'see' the blade I would be ok. I can understand why people like them, in someways they open up a whole new world, especially for the wildlife scenes I'd love to be able to do. Jump in, have a go and let us know what you think. I'd be interested in a more experienced scrollers thought about using them for the first time.

Well, my new spiral blades arrived yesterday !! So off I went like a big kid this afternoon to try them. Oh Boy !! They are something else aren't they? They chew up everything they touch,, and when you realise you are going the wrong way and try to move them out of harms way, they chew that up too !!! Amazing... A little difficult to put in the clamps,, the bottom end went in fine but then when I went to put them in the top clamp the 'flat end' was facing the wrong way, so got a pair of pliers and held it straight while I clamped it. In the end I tried to cut part of my 'go to' simple pattern and although all the 'wobbly' don't have total control bits are pretty obvious, and I seem to have 'aquired' a nest for my birds I really quite liked it. I'll keep practising until I feel more 'in control' of this 'runaway blade' as I'd love to be able, one day to do a 'picture'. But till then I'll stick to my 'straight' blades. Many things I am but Constable I'm not

No problem for me either but I have my logging in stuff on auto pilot.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I must admit to being quite pleased with it, more so because I cut the letters out all in one go !! I've never ever even tried that before and was quite proud of myself for doing it.
-
No, this is done on ¼" ply and I'm quite comfortable working with this. I'd tried one on ½" ply and couldn't cut it no matter what I tried. I think the 'thicker' wood is beyond my capability right now so I'll stick to what I know until I get better.
-
I made this for my hubby, he seems quite pleased with it.

What a lovely thought, I'm sure it adds to the Christmas cheer. 19 for dinner, your good lady deserves a medal cooking for that lot, she has my utmost respect sir. xxxx

Are you getting treatment ?
-
Now that's called hoarding or an obsession. There's surely not enough time to use them all

Lovely piece, beautifully cut
