I can't give you a good reason to cut this pattern other than it looks cool. The globe is eight inches in diameter. There are 190 interior cuts. There are a small number of very small interior cuts. I normally make sure that a 1/16" drill bit will drill all the interior holes. There may be three or four that need a smaller bit. If you leave those out it will still look fine. If you have micro bits then make the cuts.
Baltic birch plywood is far the best choice for this cut. It will be much stronger than hardwood.
I am showing the picture above in a simulated frame and black backer. The pattern does not include a frame.
If you want to make this easier to cut then take it to a print shop and have it enlarged on 11 X 17 paper.
Important Note:
I am about three days behind on getting orders shipped. I will get them all in the mail on Monday. If you have an order in for the USB Catalog or Signature Coins you should have them this week.
There is a possibility that there will not be a post Tuesday or Wednesday. I need some time to get some work done around the house. I may get bored with the housework and do a post. :) If you don't see a post just know that I'll be back later this week.
WorkTunes Hearing Protection:
I have owned a pair of WorkTunes hearing protection muffs for a few years. They are currently on sale for $39.99 on Amazon. These are the best Am/Fm radio hearing protection muffs I have ever tried. They get a 4.5/5 stars rating on Amazon with over 6,000 reviews.
The full retail is $69.99 but you can normally pick them up around $54 to $59. $39.99 is the best deal I have run into.
I was sold when I first used them to mow the lawn. They reject the outside noise so well that I could easily listen to music while the mower was running. The sound quality of the radio is excellent. You can hook up an external mp3 player but I never used them that way.
In the shop, they are all the hearing protection you need. If you enjoy listening to the radio while you work these are a good choice. If you are not interested in the radio then I would just go with regular hearing protection muffs.
