Title: Model A
Post by: EIEIO on June 09, 2013, 03:56:50 pm: I finally got to try cutting the Model A. This is on a piece of 1/4" poplar, 5.25" x 11". My nephew borrowed my heat gun to strip some paint at his house, so I put the cutting in the microwave to soften the glue & get the pattern off. The poplar actually burned in the microwave (both of those burn marks go right through the wood and show up on front and back). Never saw that before. I guess I'll call them "added detail".

Here's also a new gray & red copy of the pattern that might be a little easier to cut. The blade on black was hard to see.

Notice the reflection piece on the door. It is held on by a pretty slim bridge. Luckily the grain was running that direction or it might not have made it. I glued the back on pretty quick.

I actually had that GB method in mind, or maybe cut an oval around the car like the Ford logo. I'll post if I do something like that.

I was shocked when I ran into a lady wearing one of his bracelets. It seems that she was at one of his shows and bought it there. Pretty neat.

Very nicely cut, I like the slight alterations from your original.
