Scribing plywood (Now with more RAD)

[lastlight]

ok I'm now at the point where on a whim I could go either way. The decision will likely be spur-of-the-moment and at 2am when I'm not fit to decide. So have your fun you MFs =)

And no a wall cannot contain my builds. The last 400 was in a wall for a very short time before I myself took a sledge to it lol. Looking back now... thank frag because I think it looks pretty hideous lol.

Well in that case........I will be standing by with my sledge hammer in hand waiting for the call for destruction

Well if your going to leave it open to debate.... Are you sure you are fit to decide this at any time of day?

You must BELIEVE in the power of the SCRIBE!!!



In summary:

Going with the grain is FULL-ON-BAWLS. Removes in one strip with a much sharper edge. Heck it even sliced easier and took half the time =)

And plywood-on-end isn't even that bad for a really quick attempt.

GAME ON.

Isn't it Balls to the wall or stand in this case? YOU might be full on balls....

On topic, looks pretty good. I like the idea. How are you going to finish the "cuts" paint/stain or just leave them rough?

[lastlight]

i tried wrapping regular sandpaper around the end of a few credit cards to give the proper width and a nice fit. It cleaned up the valley really nice =)

After that i'll brush all these cuts and then roll the face all with the same color. I want the subtle details but I don't want these lines to be a different color and stand out.\\

I'd prefer a spray finish but I can't do that myself and I'm totally ok with the finish on my current stand.
