37 Chevy - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Buzz · 02-20-2007, 06:14 AM

Has anyone cut Jeff Zaffino's 37 Chevy? I started it, and it is pretty complicated. Already broke one piece out which will not be hard to replace once I finish it and it's on a backer board. Definitely takes a little planning as to which pieces to cut first. Put a counter by my drill press to count the number of cut-outs. Am over 100 and haven't even put a dent in the project!
Told my wife this one may drive me to drink! Her comment was, "That's not a drive, it's a short putt"!

haven't done that one yet Buzz but I am scrolling Jeffs full size Cheetah, which I have currently taken a small break from according to Jeff there are around 970 cuts so yeah Jeffs patterns are intense to say the least

Just looked at the pattern on Jeff's site - Buzz, you're nuts ...

If you've done a 100 cuts you've only got 1601 to go .....lol You'd better stock up on beer ...

I should try it, my folks had a 37 Chevy when I was a kid. Looks awful busy though, would take a few days just to cut the holes.

FYI... and I learned this the hard way. Count you pieces after the work is done. Leave the bigger pieces IN the work and hold them in place with blue painters tape to give it extra strength while you're still cutting. It also gives your hand a place to rest instead of laying between cutouts and stressing those fragile little lands that might be in the area. I read this about a month ago on a thread here and have used it ever since. I've had almost NO breakouts since.
