Hi Danny thanks it’s a great pattern but oh boy there was a lot of blade changes and some quite fragile cuts close together but well worth the time it took as I think it turned out quite well,cheers Dan

Hope you get is sorted and it heals ok,on the plus side your project is very good and as others have said we have all done it with the backer board,in fact I was doing two projects an elephant for my mum and a sign for my brother and the elephant I did was is a thicker oak frame than the sign and I used my nail gun to put backer boards on both pieces and turned the elephant portrait over and it was great very pleased then went to turn the sign over and I had nailed it to my workbench! doh! Anyway hope you feel better soon -

Hi wolfmoon ,yes I just push the work sideways forwards and back with the saw on ,it takes a while to get used to working with them but you soon get the hang of it and you can get some great detail cut using spirals,I just make sure I cut inside the line and work up to it a bit like when your colouring I suppose and watch where I am cutting and not looking at the other lines as the blade tends to wander to where you are looking! that’s all I use now unless I have a very long straight line I need to cut otherwise it’s spirals all the wayjust give them a go keep persevering and you won’t look back
-
That’s it Frank exactly, I struggled to use them at first because I was too busy looking at where I didn’t want the blade to go instead of just blocking that out and concentrate on the line.Now I use them for nearly every project I do ,in my opinion they are the most under rated blade ,you can do some incredible detail with them just takes practice and patience,I still have a lot to learn but am enjoying the journey and learning new things everyday
-
Thanks, I used to hate spiral blades ,only went back to them about 12-18 months ago but perseverance has paid off now I love them,you can do a lot with them even fine work,thanks again
-
Thanks Frank oh yes they are !! A few moments in there I thought they would break but all turned out good I really like H Botas patterns as you say they are interesting.

Just finished this H Botas pattern using a #2/0 spiral blade on an A4 1|4 inch BB plywood sheet
