It's all done. Not what I had in my head to do, but good. I'm letting the glue dry over night and then I'll hang it over the door.

How do you cut out the inside of the A's? That scoll saw looks like it works very well on detail. Nice Job Swankster! |

I used to do fretwork as a hobby..... with inside cuts, you'd first drill a pilot hole, then take the blade off the scroll saw, place it thru the pilot hole, then reattach the blade to the saw. When you're working on large fretwork pieces, it really slows you down! Nice work on the sign, Swanky! [ Edited by: Traderpup on 2004-02-13 21:21 ] |

Nice work Swanky, Scroll work is excellent,but probably a piece of cake compared to the fret work you've done. (edited by BK for the correct name of maker) OOPs [ Edited by: Benzart on 2004-02-14 21:37 ] |

Benzart, I had thought about doing some enlargements of matchbooks in a 3D thing. |

Swanky, Sorry, I did not know that the reverse was a printer function. I have an app called MGI Photo suite and I always use the "Mirror" to create a reverse image . I wasn't trying to tell you what to do since I don't know that much about computers. Back to the original theme, your frames are great and I think you wll need to step up production. I know I'll want one when I get my FLOUNDERart print. |

Okay, my digital camera is not nice enough to take a picture of the bar at night with the "proper" lighting. Here is what I got after adjusting it with Photoshop...

That sign looks great! I whipped this one up for my bar, it's about 8" x 14" or so. |
