I feel "factory-ish"!

[bearfretworks]

Just finished up a bunch of word art and thought I'd post a pic to prove I still scroll occasionally. Patterns by Jeff Paxton. Big show next weekend, getting down to the wire!





Thanks for looking, comment/critique away.

Ahhh, nice, stack cutting hard at work yeah something that helps us all out. I do like those a lot and have cut one or two myself.

Thanks for showing off

Great stuff

I think the reason I don't do shows is the thought of having to do so many of the same thing. The only thing I have stack cut in any quantity is paper and card for Christmas cards. You said you feel "factory - ish", OK, but you finished them. I would get bored long before that.

Good luck with the sales

I love cutting out words - don't know why - but only once/pattern. Thank goodness for stack cutting! They look good. Good luck with your sales.

Can't see any fault in them . How thick is the wood and how many were stacked at a time ? If you don't mind me asking ? I stack cut 1/8 " about 4-6 at a time . I find once you get yourself in the mental zone , your finished before you know it .What was in that tabacci ! Hope to do some words in the future . Nice job . Cheers.

Very nicely done, great job!! Good luck with your sale! It's nice to know your scrollsaw isn't mopeing in the corner.

Thanks folks! The prep and finish work takes longer than the scrolling.

Ramjet, I try to keep my stacks at 1" or less. I used oak, cherry, and birch ply in 1/4 and 1/8 thicknesses. So, three pieces of 1/4 and 2 pieces of 1/8 per stack. Eight stacks = 40 pieces x $30 (avg price) = $1,200

Nice work, it reminds me that my season is not far away.
How long does it take you to cut a typical stack?

Holy Cow! That's a bit of nice work. Best of luck with your show.
