Stack cutting two, birch ply.  24 5/8 wide by 20 1/8 tall.  Very slow process lol. Click the link below so that you can see it larger than allowed here ;)

That is going to be FANTASTIC when it is done! You cut some of the most intricate and detailed portraits that I have ever seen.

Great work so far on that one Charlie.  It looks like there will be several hold yer breath areas on that pattern but I have confidence that you are up to the challenge.  Looking forward to seeing it when it is completed.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Blimey!! that's impressive! where do you stand when cutting that? do you need arm extensions? binoculars?

That's astonishing! I wonder how many internal cuts there are? I wouldn't like to count them, never mind cut them all.

Thanks everyone.  Binoclulars huh? hahaha.  I sit in a chair in front of the scroll saw.  I use roller stands on either side of the scroll saw to support any part hanging off.  Too scared to count the amount of cut outs but may do that eventually ;)  When designing the pattern for it...I actually withheld quite a bit of detail in the beard just to get done.  When I cut many of my own designs ....I am mad at myself for all the detail due to the time it takes to complete...but in the end it makes me proud.  Thanks again.

I actually took the time to count the amount of cuts, there's 860 cuts in this project.

And I thought there were lots in the loco I cut, with around half that number. Not just talented, but brave too. :)
