1st try at metal segmenting

[Dalecamino]

First time using a scrollsaw , and first time cutting and gluing a blank using aluminum . The wood is Danish Bog Oak from Neil (wolftat) I put it on a two-tone Sierra . Finished with CA MMto 12000 ,and polished with Meguires Plast X then Renwax .Thanks to Keith (VisExp) , Steve (Akbar) and Dave (djwood1) for the help and inspiration . Like I told our local guys at the meeting , I won't be making many of these . :redface: But I just had to try one . I have the one Dave and Kenny Mayes made at our last meeting . It is sweet . Thanks Dave for doing the tutorial . Thanks again all , for looking .

Chuck, that's a sweet pen, I like it.

 

[DurocShark]

Beautiful!

I've tried making a few of that style, but can't get close to how nice yours looks.

 

[philb]

Did you use coke-cans? Or sheet material? As it looks very fine metal?

Anyway, looks pretty good! Especially for a first try!

Nice find! Must of been a fair think kerf blade, as most of my scroll blades take out more than a soda-can thickness!

[artme]

Vey classy Chuck!!

Enough metal to make it standout, not enough to drown it.

 

[Dalecamino]

hey Chuck did you get my pm?

Yes , thanks . I sent a reply .:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Phil , I checked with a test cut , and the metal slid right into it perfectly . But this is thicker than a soda can . Guess you might call it dumb luck . :biggrin::biggrin:

Chuck, as you know, I have always been straight with you about things, this one is okay, but stopping now would be a mistake. I like the way it looks and think you should reconsider about making more. There is room for some improvement and it gets easier as you do more.

:biggrin: Thanks Neil , I appreciate that . I DO have a couple of ideas , so there will definately be more . Your Danish Bog Oak works great with the metal . Thanks for the encouragement .

I finally figured out what all the hoopla was regarding the scroll saw. Must be the meds.

[jimofsanston]

Nice. I haven't tried one yet but looking at this I am going to.

 

[Dalecamino]

Nice. I haven't tried one yet but looking at this I am going to.

Thanks Jim , I guess you just have to jump in and do it . I had the stuff including the saw , setting around hear for at least a couple of months before I got bold enough to try . :redface:

 

[snyiper]

Im a newbie and gave it a try with Flashing...that was a humbling experience!!! I shall do more research and try again This pen has inspired me to try again!!! Great job.

DO try again . Believe me , if I can do it , you can too . It helps if you have a vice . I used a two inch C-clamp . :biggrin: Thanks for looking !

 

[CSue]

Classy Pen! It looks like you had a lot of fun with it, too.

Thanks CS ! They ARE interesting , and FUN too I suppose . I want to make more patterns , if I can get WORD figured out . :redface: In the meantime , I'll try this one again , and see if I can do a better job . I received a tip about scrollsawing , that may help .

[bgibb42]

Looks WAY better than my first attempt...or my second...or my third. All of which ended up in various areas of my shop (and may never be found again). But I keep on keepin' on.
