      Yeah, I agree, nicely done. Are you using a real skinny spiral blade?
      I'm looking forward to the final photos.

        Flying Dutchman spiral blades and a Dremel Trio on the address. I will be starting the engraving next and will use my dremel hand piece plugged into a foot pedal.

            Very nice. Can't wait to see the finished project. Are you having any trouble cutting a piece the large? I guess the spiral blades are a must for this huh.

              If I didn't have spiral blades I would have had to use my dremel trio. I have used a trio before and actually the trio makes quick work of something this size. However, the finish is rough requiring a bit more sanding than I like and in tight places that are nearly impossible to get to. I have yet to find anything that leaves the smooth finish like that of the scroll saw. Well, except for the CNC but that's no fun! And yes it can be a bit of a bear to cut at first. Yet, once you get going it runs pretty smooth.

                  Great project! Hard to believe something that large can be accomplished on a scroll saw!
                  I certainly envy your talents.
                  Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

                    I can finally post the completed picture

                    Well this was a long project. The customer could not decide on a finish... So it sat. And sat some more.. And sat for several more months after that... Till I finally a call on what I had believed was a forgotten project. The customer asked me to bring in the sign as is and asked me to bring a torch.... So I meet him at the shop and he decides to torch the thing and call it finished.

                    I personally have mixed feeling about this finish, or lack of finish depending on your perspective, only because I was really excited to finish it as we had originally agreed, almost a year ago. Thank God, they decided to paid me in full from day one.

                      Looks like a fun project, I'm not sure if I like the torch effect though I feel it makes all the work you put into the address portion kind of disappear. I guess as long as they paid and they are happy that is all that matters.

                        For some reason my normal trip-wire radar (sic) missed your original post last year, and I'm sorry I did. Awesome project. Not sure about the finish, but glad tou were paid before hand.

                          Great work!
                          I've been in the biz. Sometimes the customer can make us more than a little crazy, but as they say "they're always the customer".
                          Your patience is evident here.

                            Great job , not so hot on the torching on this project. I can understand why you are relieved this one is over.
