First cuts

[cpowell]

Here are a couple of examples of what I've been doing. They aren't very good but I can see progress. After reading and talking to a few folks I have found that my wood is too thick, it's 1/2 inch plywood and poplar. Today I found some 1/4 inch birch and will try that. Still trying to figure out the blade sizes, some are really aggressive. Keep trying though, right? I did try the blue tape on back and it made a world of difference in the cutting, it helps A LOT! More pics will come as I progress.

Anyone with suggestions, ideas or constructive criticism please jump in.
