    Default 56 Chevy Bel Air

    Morning Fellow Scollers!

    Here is a recent cut i did of a 56 Chevy Bel Air, from a Sam Custodio pattern. Cut from a single piece of 6mm marine plywood (A4 sized) with a mix of spiral and flat blades.

    Framed in an IKea A3 Black block style frame with white matt boarder. Thinking of moving to block mount style framing in the future, as others have used.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Graeme.

    For me spirals were a bit of a steep learning curve, with learning how to control a blade that can cut 360 degrees. A little pressure shift in any direction and you have a cut.

    But i guess like anything, it just takes practice and patience.

    I agree spiral blades have a place but you have to be VERY careful when cutting.

    Just to add my piece about spiral blades. If I am cutting image / portrate type work such as birds I wouldn't' use anything else but spiral blades because the rough edge sets the work off also I don't think I would have the patience to cut such a project with a normal blade. I think I would go mad with all the twisting and turning. But I also use a fine spiral blade such as FD #1. Anything bigger just destroys the work. For accurate quality cutting I would never use any thing but a plain blade.
