Nice! Ya just had to one up me on the Tiger , didn't ya! LOL

I have tried spirals a couple of times over the last few years, never could get the hang of them. I decided to try again. I used a FD brand, can't remember the size. Now I know what everyone is talking about when talking about the fuzzies! I didn't have many, a little sanding knocked most of them off of the backside. I have also been wanting to do a Tiger or Leopard or some kind of big cat with spots/stripes. But I try to stay clear of patterns with an obscene amount of holes to drill! This one only had about 90 interior holes to drill,, so wasn't too bad. I feel that I did ok with the spiral but I also feel that I didn't have to be perfect while cutting this pattern. I take pride in being dead on the line with my regular blades. I imagine cuts with more straight lines would be more difficult with spirals. I don't know if I will attempt anything like that. The top part is 1/2" BB and the backer is 1/8" BB cut with an Olson #2 reverse blade. Remember, go easy on the reviews this is my first spiral cut! LOL

While waiting for another project to dry earlier I decided to make the wife another cutout for her LED base. Some may remember that I made her a butterfly last week for the base. I made a ghost this time, after all Halloween is just around the corner. I found a pattern for a Scarecrow that I may cut also. I used 1/8" acrylic sandwiched between 2 pieces of 1/8" BB. This way you get the decoration for the LED base and 2 more to hang on the wall or window,, I just cut the rectangle bottom off of the wooden ghosts and made them come to a point. I used my go to blade, Olson #2 reverse. I actually had to go around the whole cut twice because it "fused" back together this time. It only took seconds to go around it the second time. On the butterfly I think I used a FD UR1 and didn't have that problem. I have 2 different blades made for acrylic but didn't use them. These are very simple and easy cuts that you can find patterns for that you can display all year around.

I've been wanting to cut the original one for a while, now I want to cut both!
-
I like both! I have similar problems with the light arm, the throat of the saw and the belly of the scroller! This is where spirals would be ideal to use, but I have not mastered them yet. I will be trying them again today or tomorrow on a project. Eagles, I love them too. I have one on my arm and many in the house, including a 4' tall chainsaw piece. I have yet to cut one on the scrollsaw yet.

Where is the event at?
-
No problem at all. I wonder if they have any where the LED base spins in circles,, that would be cool.
-
Thanks everyone!

All very nice! I remember when you cut out the truck next to the cabin. I think I bought that pattern after you posted... I still haven't cut it yet. LOL

Nice! I printed that out a couple of days ago. I'm on vacation next week, we'll see what happens! I may leave the hand off on my version.

Here is a picture with the room lights on, you can see the butterfly better.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6VKOQS/ref=dp_prsubs_1 http://www.stevedgood.com/lightart.pdf This isn't the exact link to the one that I have, mine is not available it says. But this one looks exactly like mine. I got the idea from one of Steve Goods plans. I'll try to link his plans too. I have made her a Snowman in the past and will probably make a ghost this weekend for it. I would like to maybe find an easy pattern for a Scarecrow too. With making this butterfly I learned that whatever the pattern is, it's best to make it narrow so that the light can hit it. The edge of the butterfly doesn't have much light on it. Knowing that now, I could have adjusted where I put the "base" on the pattern.

Just finished this for the wife. It is sitting on top of a LED light. I made her a Snowman a few years ago for it. 1/8" acrylic sandwiched between two pieces of 1/8" BB. I used a FD UR2. It cut really smooth.

LOL, one of the most beautiful things in the world. Not my cut, but a Woman.
-
Thanks! I'm happy with the cut but not the frame job. That's why I stay away from them.
-
Appreciate it!
-
Thank You!
-
LOL You could just say if was for a customer that never picked it up.

Thanks Marg!
