Title: Another Project Cut
Post by: Keefie on July 25, 2012, 02:34:39 pm

I just finished cutting another project (With a lot of "breath holding" during the cutting lol). It's a Celtic Cross with Dragons. It still needs sanding and a finish put on it, at the minute it's just sitting on a black card. I stacked cut three out of 4mm Birch ply. I made the mistake of sticking them together for cutting using masking tape around the edge of the stack, and when I was cutting near the edge the tape was coming off the underside and sticking to the table so it stopped sliding and left sticky residue over the table. I had to cut a little bit then remove the loose tape and put another bit over the remaining tape it to stop it catching, and clean the table each time. I will be looking at a different method of holding the stack together next time.
Hope you like it.
Keith

Great Job!!! Must have been frustrating with the tape problem.  I use a speck of glue in the big waste areas.

Must be some Scottish blood in those veins of yours Keefie, what a beautiful piece of work. You deserve a wee dram after turning out a superb piece like that.Beautiful.

Nice cut. I use a good quality of masking tape to hold all my stack cutting. I have cut thousands of pieces with no problem. Just don't use the cheap tape. Bobby

Very nice work.  Where did you find the pattern?  I cut Celetic Crosses out of Teak, and this pattern would look great.  Jeff44
