Title: Jesus Cross
Post by: troy_curtis on January 16, 2014, 04:37:16 pm
This is one of my favorite crosses to make. Normally I make them about 3 in tall and hang them from the car or truck rear view mirror. Today I decided to make a bigger one.

Nice job!
I've made several crosses of a similar design. In fact, I made one big enough to be used for a music stand! Admittedly, I didn't use a scroll saw, I used a jig saw for that one. It was a commission from the mother of a local Christian guitarist/singer and his sister.

That is FANTASTIC! I don't type in all caps very often, but honestly your music stand Jesus Cross is super. I will share that on my blog http://troyswoodcreations.blogspot.com and also on my FB page: Troy's Wood Creation. Thanks for showing me your awesome Jesus Cross.

Hey Troy,
Making the cross was the easy part. ;D The hard part was making it all come apart and fold up flat for transportation and making the table of the music stand adjustable.!  :o  I'll see if I can find some pictures of the back side to show you. It took some engineering and planning.  ;)
I built this about five years ago.

Rog,

That would be nice to see. Impressed you engineered it to fold up and all. Looking forward to other views of it.

Troy,
Sorry, I must have erased all the other pictures. I've searched through my computer and camera both and can't find them. As I said, it has been some time ago that I built it. I have over 200 pictures of other projects and probably "cleaned" the albums a few times and some pictures go into file 13 every time.  :(
I may try to get in touch with the lady who commissioned the project and see if her son still has it so I could get new shots of it.

Troy,
I see on your blog that you are mostly into cutting crosses and I've done a few myself.
Here is one that I designed myself and thought you might be interested in it. It is cut from 1/2" purple heart wood (altho it doesn't look like it in the picture)
You (or anyone else) are free to use it as a pattern if you like it. I don't have a pattern to download because I do all of mine by hand on paper.
It shouldn't be too hard to sketch one up yourself very close to what I did.

That is fantastic. I may give it a go and try to make one from your design. Yes, I do like crosses a lot. Thanks for the info.

I like to cut crosses too....really good work, it is awesome when we can include JESUS in what we do.
This is one of the few that I have cut....I like it the best out of the ones that I have done.

I stacked cut this cross from quarter inch board and gave for Christmas last year (about 20)
