Jessie's Gumdrop - Day 13 - Acrylic & Scroll Saw Adventure
This thread has been around long enough so I guess I dont need to recap, so let's proceed, shall we?
Glued the printed template down to the backer of the green UV acrylic
changed the stock blade in the scroll saw to one of the new spiral blades and did a test cut. looks promising...
used a small drill bit to make blade threading holes for the scroll saw blade
thats the blade threaded thru the first hole
starting to cut out the interior cuts
moar
finished the interior cuts, and drilled the pilots for the straight cuts. these are 1/4 holes because the straight blades I have are Pin-End, and I needed to be able to fit the pins thru
blade ready for exterior cuts
halfway done
once I finished the spiral cuts, I did the straight cuts around the base parts
hard to see but thats the fly that tormented me for like an hour (on the grey nozzle) I ended up killing him, and three of his friends, problem solved
thats the rough cut out of the script
a couple of base parts that I needed
after about 45 mins of careful grinding with a dremel stone. still looks like a spastic cut it but I think thats the end of my skill-set with a scroll saw. Theres always flame polishing or buffing to clean it up, I guess.
started gluing the base to the tabs that will hold the script upright, one tab in
two tabs, hard to see the opening between
glued everything in place and hung out in the shop long enough for it to set up. Its drying now until tomr.
I will re asess the edges tomr, and grind some more if need be, but its looking like its needed. I dont like the "haggered" look it has, but some of that is the paper and not the acrylic, so we'll see tomr.
For mounting I will use 3m tape to mount the bottom of the base to the bottom of the case, so the script shows thru the window. Well, thats about it for today. Thanks for watching
