Default Blades

I Mostly used #2 Reverse and #2 Skip Tooth. I only used a Spiral Blade on two Cuts because I Need the cuts to come to sharp points and I'm not that good using a spiral blade.

Default Yes

Yes It is framed in a black frame but I didn't include it in the picture so I could get a closer shot.

Wonderful work. Next time, take the pic without the glass in the frame so you don't have any reflection.

Default Thanks

Thanks Kerry, That is good advise. I realized after I took the picture that it had a glare. It would definitely look better without the glass. I hope to someday learn how to make the patterns but until then, many thanks to you that are so talented in pattern making. Without you. I wouldn't be able to make these for my kids.
Mike
