Looking for that app right now!
I didn’t know what was exactly meant by spray tack, I have spray GLUE by 3M (90) but it’s industrial strength and I thought it might look even odder than the dabs (of course I didn’t anticipate the dabs looking as noticeable as they do…)
Just Google “sticky tack spray”… A gentle adhesive is super handy, especially for cutting paper.
Is this the app?
I could never get the paper part to cut right. As soon as it cut the outer edge, it would blow away or into the laser.
Yep!
It’s best to use a sticky board for cutting paper, which keeps small bits from flying around. I like Home Depot hardboard for this purpose (1/8" dark brown with a smooth front and rough back).
Take your smooth board cut to a convenient size, lightly spray with sticky tack, and use repeatedly for holding down your paper while cutting. You can use the same board for many jobs, re-spraying as necessary, until it’s just too scarred to continue.
Interesting. I bought some of that to test with but decided it was too dense. I now have a use for it. Thanks for the tip.
I don’t have a sticky board, but I put a magnet in the center of the circle so they wouldn’t blow around.
Also, for the black backing paper, I changed the svg file so the inner cut was a different color- then I ordered it to cut first. I find that ordering inner cuts before outer cuts is nearly always best.
I was thinking just a porthole window. With an iris mechanism on the other side (or internal to the door frame).
Wow! The Chooser is fantastic! Looks great (and it made me laugh). Yay!
Okay, I love it as is! But, in defense of my comment, I’ll love the new version too. These escutcheons are too fun.
@timjedwards, your project makes me happy. Thank you for posting this!! I love seeing how others have put their own spin on the design.
It’s fun seeing new interpretations, for sure!
Wait - whaaaat? Awesome!
This is definitely my favorite escutcheon so far!
OK, this seems to have won the escutcheon wars… That’s freakin awesome.
It’s an integral part of my machine now… To this day I still adjust it to an appropriate setting after hitting the flashing button.
After?!?!? How the hell will the GF know what’s coming if you don’t do it BEFORE!
Of course I’ve modded mine to work dynamically…
You do realize that you’ve nullified your warranty by doing that.
