Very impressive.

[Rolf]

Is this a freehand cut? Or do you have a pattern that you overlay?

[Sandy Oaks]

I agree with Scott, very impressive.

[Linda In Phoenix]

I love Snoopy!

Great job, SNOOPY rules.

There are very few people who had the insight about life that Charles Schultz had.

Thanks for sharing

Rolf, I cover it with clear contact paper (comes off clean without leaving a residue) and draw a grid for the direction I want to cut (ie horizontal or diagonal) to keep the rows even. The rest is all freehand.

Thanks Bruce, great tip and one more question what blade did you use?

[millwab]

... what blade did you use?

I still have some puzzle blades from Ben Fink. Once I run out of them I’ll have to ask Denny what he recommends for a substitute.

[Rolf]

They may be the FD puzzle blades. I have also used the Pegas 2/0 28 TPI blade. It has NO reverse teeth.

IDK? I remember that Ben sold Pegas blades, but the label on this package just says "Ben's Blades, Ultra Thin Puzzle Blade". When Denny started selling Pegas blades I asked him and he told me Pegas doesn't sell a specific "puzzle" blade. The 2/0 might be their answer.

[Rolf]

Bruce I just looked up the Pegas blade and the Flying Dutchman puzzle blade.
Pegas TPI 28.2 Thickness .087" Width .0236"
FD TPI 31 Thickness .08 Width.023

So the Flying Dutchman is a bit thinner , not sure it would make a significant difference. Three teeth per inch may cut a bit faster. The FD blade is thinner by a couple of sheets of paper.

Hope that helps.

Thanx Rolf. I also found a package of Olson 3/0 blades I had. They are 33TPI x .008T x .022W
I’m guessing that’s their equivalent of a puzzle blade since they don’t sell one specifically labeled as such.
