Vince, I would love to have your rose pattern also.

Thanks, Linda

I love the rose too could I also have the pattern? Please pretty please?

Vince,

That is the best rose I've seen. Would you be able to send me the pattern?

Thank You

Joe

 

Thanks for the comments and sorry for the long delay I have been busy the past week refining the pattern for speed of cutting I have a rough draft if you all are interested I will post it in a few.

Well Poo.....

 

My Lawyer said I can't post the image so I e-mailed those who wanted the pattern. There is some legal crap that goes with it just don't copy and give it out or nothing like that.

Hey but good news you can at least add me as a friend on myspace and get the image of the pattern if you are on my friends list. there is also a video of me cutting out a piece of the rose there in under 3 minutes the way I set it up there are 3 pieces that make up the 10 total. the video shows me cutting the proto type and I cut out the 2nd 3rd and 4th cut on the side to shorten it some. after some practice I am now able to do the whole thing in under 10 minutes including hot glueing the thing together. 6 an hour then 20-30 minutes to color them and glue on a ribbon and bow. For the stem I use a wooden dowel that I dipped into green food coloring prior to glueing it to the rose bud. I then dip the buds into red food coloring to dye them and leave them to dry over night. all in all if you follow the steps below you can crank out a 12 in under 3 hours. then dry over night.

 

Step 1

Cut the stems out of wooden dowels and dip them in green food color. I use 50/50 color to water as the dowels tend to not soak up the dye so unless you take the time to rough them up with some sand paper.

 

Step 2

Take the Pattern and print out 1-3 sheet to total enough templates to make 12 once you get this set up you save time because you only have to hit print. I have mine set up for 6 per 8.5 x 11 page

 

Step 3

Use spray glue to glue the pattern to a 1x4 piece of wood. Folding the pattern over the edge to have the side cut and top cut. set up for 12 at one time

 

Step 4

Use a fresh blade to avoid buring the peddles and make the 10 passes on the side cuts on the 2 peddles. I find that I can get 2 inner and 2 outter peddles cut with a fresh #5 blade

 

Step 5

Cut the center bud out making sure you have it trimmer to 1x1 so its not to thick. By this time your blade is getting a little dull from the thick peddle side cuts

 

Step 6

Make the top (thinner cuts) on the peddles. Once I get done with this I now have enough parts to make 2 roses. I change my blade on the scroll saw to avoid burning the next cuts. Your blade may still be good enough to use on other projects so save them. I just find that its not worth pushing it and burning the next side cuts as that will distort the coloring.

 

Step 7

Repeat step 4, 5, 6 untill you have enough parts to make 12 roses.

 

Step 8

Look at your cut outs. If you follow the patern I made then you will find that you end up with inner and outter peddles that have slightly Differant size bases. for the inner peddels I use 2 with some basses and glue them on the left and right of the bud. Making sure they touch at the bottom of the inner bud. I then over use 2 with wide base for the other 2 side. Making sure to leave them spaced apart enough to drill out a shallow hole for the dowel. repeat this for the outter peddels. and remember the hotter the glue the better it will bond to the wood and dont be afraid to use a good amount of glue. I use red glue sticks for red roses so the glue that squeezes out dont show up.

 

Step 9

Drill a small hole in the bottom of the rose. I use Green hot glue sticks and over fill the hole then allow a good amount of extra to over flow and form the base of the rose. Slide the stem into the hole. with practice you can get enough extra glue to for that nice base just like a real flower.

 

Step 10

Dip the buds into a mix of 10% red dye 90% water for pink and 70% Red Dye 30% water for a deeper red color. I use food coloring just to be safe. you could use the liquid cloth dye but I use food coloring because if its good for food it sure will not hurt plants of kids.

And Vince that is an insain looking rose you made. Thats all Scroll cut?? I would love that pattern. Mine is not as detailed but I set my flower patterns up for speed instead of detail as I find something like the one you made is more of a show piece that I don't think I could get enough $$ for my time. I have no trouble offloading the ones made from my pattern for $5-$6 a pop and I can get 12 done in 3 hours. But man one like yours would be a great show piece.

My wife saw the rose and told me to make her one for valentines day so if you could send the patern pleasemy email [email protected] she even bought me the wood.

Vince, could you please send me a copy also.

Thanks in advance.
