As you can see, it?s a schwibbogen. I have cleverly titled it ?Snowman?. In this post there are three tips for scrollers. See if you can find them.
This is my first attempt at imbedding pics in the text of the article. Click on the link and then click on the thunbnail. I used Imageshack for this.
This was the original item. It came from the Holiday 2008 issue of ?Creative Woodworks & Crafts?. It was a clock pattern by White Tail Designs which I used to design the schwibbogen. Those guys are really great pattern makers.
This is the pattern I developed from the clock pattern.
This is a pic of the cutout piece and the pasties to decorate it.
As you can see, I stack cut 4 deep. This makes 2 schwibbogens. The base is Poplar finished with Deft.
This is Snowman.
Now for the tips: ( I was going to hide them but I was afraid Janet couldn't find them LOL)
1. When you have some fragile areas to be sanded, save the cut out scrap and tape it back in the piece. I sand with grits 150, 220, 320, & 400. Then tape the other side and go through the sanding grits again.
2. To sand small pieces (the pasties), tape them back in the cut out openings and sand as above.
3. When sanding a piece that has edges that can be caught by the edge of the sandpaper, use a sheet that is cut ?? oversize. Fold up the edges and you?ll never catch an edge. For random orgit sanders (5? shown) buy the next larger size disk (6? in this case) and curl up the edges. See pic.
Comments, both kinds, are welcome and encouraged.
