[Paul S WI]

Thought I'd share a few projects accomplished since Christmas. The Boxer was a Birthday gift for my son's girlfriend. 'Pups on Bench' and 'Wolf' are JZ patterns. Really enjoyed cutting these. Some of the frames I made and a couple were store bought (sale). Your thoughts and advice are welcome.

Very nice. I especially like the wolf. I don't believe you need any advice.

Nice work, Paul. I just started Pups on a Bench - Kevin and steve must have given me a taste for holes ..lol I hope mine looks as good as yours

I'm finding slow going at the moment though - I'm determined to get the hang of spirals but at the moment I'm still having to think about avoiding going onto autopilot and turning the workpiece ...

Ian, There is no reason you can't turn the piece when you are doing and using spirals. It is always easier to push the piece into the blade. It is not required when pushing to turn it as much. Also by pushing you can see the blade better.

I was starting to figure that out a little after a while, Chuck. You're definitely right about being easier to push into the blade rather than pull and being able to see.. once or twice I seemed to get my hands and the workpiece in very odd positions ..lol I did find that occasionally on some of the long cuts it was easier to do the areas in sections rather than try to go all the way round the perimeter of the cut at once - if that makes sense?

I guess I just need more practice with spirals ...
