Post by: GrayBeard on January 15, 2013, 11:20:03 pm: Great Project for wonderful cause!

Are you using 'spirals' throughout or using a mix of blade types.

That long cut along the edge of the table is going to be a real B**CH!

Post by: Marcellarius on January 16, 2013, 06:14:45 am: awesome project!!! great to see the WIP pictures,
looks a hard project such a long piece of wood.

doesn't the wood bend to the sides, as you started to cut in the middle?

yes it does that why in my second post of pic you see that i have a scrap piece of board clamped to it to help it from bending and i made a little stand to help also.

Post by: chelcass on January 17, 2013, 12:19:53 pm: Thanks Newfie for showing how you are progressing thru this project. It really help us understand how to go about doing something this size.

One thing I noticed I bet no one else did is the board in the background and how you have traced around each tool to quickly show where each tool hangs. Great Idea! Thanks for the idea.

Post by: newfie on January 17, 2013, 12:41:39 pm: your welcome, with out that i never get it back in it's place.

Title: Re: update on last supper work in progress
Post by: newfie on January 23, 2013, 07:59:02 am: i well the progress again in a week or so.
Title: Re: update on last supper work in progress
Post by: Dakota Saw Dust on January 24, 2013, 12:15:22 am: It's really neat to see your shop and the in-progress work. Steve's nickel contest was another welcomed view of how others handle set-up and work, like the batten clamped to your board for added rigidity. A picture really is worth a thousand words.
Title: Re: update on last supper work in progress
Post by: newfie on January 30, 2013, 02:38:37 pm: here is the last supper all the cuts are done,404 cuts in total and 29 hrs later.tonight i will start peeling of the pattern and see how it looks from the front.for the rest of the week and weekend to make the frame. enjoy

Title: Re: another update on last supper work in progress

Seeing your final makes me wish I could of been Blessed
with the ability to use a Spiral blade. Danny :+}
Title: Re: another update on last supper work in progress
Post by: newfie on January 31, 2013, 09:43:43 am: hey Danny trust me you can use them but it takes alot of getting use to.that is the second piece i cut with them and i'm still not good at using them.i find you got to control the wood not the blade.
Title: Re: another update on last supper work in progress
Post by: ToverT on January 31, 2013, 09:48:10 am: What a masterpiece!!! I'm absolutely amazed at how something that large can be cut! I can't imagine how you made the turns!

Anticipating the final picture!!!

Thanks for posting these progress pictures!

Post by: Danny on January 31, 2013, 12:41:51 pm: Hey There Tommy T.... Don't use the Spiral blades, but I kind of do know that
when using them the wood does not turn. Spirals are designed to cut in any
direction. I have tried using them MANY, MANY times. Lost cause for me. Danny :+}
Title: Re: another update on last supper work in progress
Post by: jrpeteo on January 31, 2013, 03:01:59 pm: Very impressive, a magnificent piece. I can't imagine spending that much time on a single project.
How wonderful of you to donate this item to charity. Can't wait to see if framed.
Pete
