Title: At last something to show you.
Post by: wombatie on December 18, 2013, 12:35:55 am: I have not posted for a while, but I have been working and taking photos but this is the first time I could sit down and post.

I would like to thank Barry from Scroll Saw Village for giving me the opportunity to cut this pattern of 10 of the Dr Who faces. It was certainly a heart stopping job but I love the way it turned out. It measures 16.5" x 12". There were approx. 402 cuts and it took about 18 hours just to cut it, that does not take into account drilling holes or sanding or framing. There was not a spiral blade in sight, just normal blades. Did I like cutting it YES. Did I think half way through 'what the devil did I want to cut this for, YES. Would I cut another NO.

Hope you like it. Sorry its not a very good photo.

Like me, I'm guessing you're not a lover of spirals?

Great Job!
