I know it's jumping back a bit, but for acrylic straight-cuts, why not use an acylic knife and a guide to scrape down about an eighth of an inch, then snap the piece off? It's very clean, and just requires a small bit of de-burring.

Beautiful calligraphy. I'm truly in awe.

No Worries about jumping about.

I have tried scoring and snapping... it just did not end up right. The problem for me was the tolerances for error. I can fudge or hide 1/64"... maybe 1/32" but not much more.

What happened was the snap needed to be cleaned up each time - not a problem. The issue was that no 2 "clean-ups" were the same; some required very little scraping and sanding, some needed more.

When 2 (or more) panels need to be identical it was a real chore.

...so I went with power tools. Besides, it is a great (valid) excuse to have power tools.

Perhaps you could do a "How To" thread on clean snapping. I am not at all opposed to doing it... if I can get it right.


Thanks for the compliment on the calligraphy, it was a pastime that I once cherished.

I just used it tonight on another project that I am working on. It took me 5 minutes to cut what would have taken me 30-45 minutes.


Thanks arekieh.

The second pic that I posted is a form of Tengwar. JRR Tolkien adapted it for the languages of Middle Earth.

What you see there is a portion of the inscription that is engraved into the, "One Ring.."

The very first post are the words for Body, Mind and Spirit.

...at least that is what I have gleaned in the research that I have done.

You sir, are as nerdy as the rest of us.

You know, the one ring thing gave me an idea. Wouldn't it be sweet to have a gold case, with the text wrapped around it?
