Title: Finished the Raccoon..
Post by: pddesertrat on October 23, 2014, 08:40:46 pm
Well got it done.  If I do another, I will make it a little larger.  Would make things much easier.  But I am happy with it.  Had to make some minor repairs but still good enough for a rookie.

stacked 2  1/8" BB.  Used FD 3/0 Spiral blades.

Awesome work.  I would not have the patience to do that cutting as fast as you did, if ever hehe.  Thanks for sharing this work of art with us.

Beautiful work. Better not use the ROS on it. :)

Did you go through a lot of blades? I've heard those 3/0 spirals are pretty fragile.

How did you attach it to the backer? Seems like gluing those whiskers would be a job.

Must have used 10 blades.  Several I broke the ends off just mounting them.  Got to figure out what I am doing there.  Love the blades.

I haven't mounted it on anything yet.  Not decided how I want to do it.  Last picture I did I sprayed the back of the picture with adhesive and laid it on the backer.  That worked pretty good.   But this one has so much open space I don't think that would work.

Yep I need a frame and frame making is difficult for me.  I will come up with something.
