I finished my second project. Jeff Zaffino's Great Grizzly. I haven't put any finish on it yet. This one took a little over 21 hours so far. This time I used thinner plywood, about 5mm, than the Tightwire project and it came out much better.

Wow!
Bob,
That is awesome work.
What size is the plaque?
And what blade did you use?
What starting hole size?
Nice job,

It's 14" X 11" and I used a FD New Spiral, 2/0 with a 0.027, #68, pilot. I really like the 2/0 spiral. It did take 25 saw blades to finish though.MinotBob

Very Very Nice !!
Having cut one of Jeff Zuffinos pictures I can really appreciate the effort it took to do the Grizzly. The end result is certainly worth it. Did you Stack cut it? I cut 3 at a time, one for me one as a gift and the other I will sell.
It certainly is a test of patience.

Boy you don't hold back do you Bob? Doing one of Jeff's patterns for a 2nd project shows no fear! Great job!
I love those spiral blades! One more question for you, do you remember how many starter holes it took?

Lol, While reading this, Bills post got me to chuckle! I now know Im not the only one that likes to count the holes drilled in projects as I cut them ! The grizzly looks great !!!!! And for a second project, something of that caliber is unheard of!!! This should be inspiration to anyone just getting started into scrolling, to show that you can accomplish anything you set out to do!! Great job on a fine project! DaleDale w/ yella saws

5mm plywood - hmmm... that's less than 1/4" and more than 1/8" -- is it BB or something like oak? The grain seems to be pretty fine - a beautiful choice, whatever. Now, what is your next project?

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby RolfI have both types of saw A tilting table Hawk g426 and an Older Excalibur with a tilting head. Unlike Carole for bevel cuts I prefer the tilting head I do larger projects and it is easier for me.
Regarding compound cuts they are cut at 90 degrees.
If I were in the market for a new...-

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby handibunnyIf you have a good saw, and can set the table accurately, you should be good to go. Give a holler if you need help. ๐
Randy, I swapped out the clamps on the Jet for the Pegas clamps as soon as they became available. I found the Jet clamps just too fidgety for my taste.-
