simmonds Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Anyone have instructions or a blueprint on making a split cross. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks, Chris. Quote
nett Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 If there is a blueprints of one, I can't locate it. They are sometimes called the Friedrich's cross. Hope this helps.cross Quote
Rich Hale Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Also called the Celtic cross. Bps over the 200 number are not availeable right now but will be later not sure the number either. Quote
keykeeper Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 The Saltfork Craftsmen have a little tutorial available for a key fob Friederick cross. It's on 2 pages, here's the links. and Hope this helps. Could easily be scaled up for larger stock. Quote
triw Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I have made these crosses and mount them on pieces of dessert drift wood to sell at demos. I have also seen marbles melted into the center hole for color. The first one I made for my wife had a pearl colored marble melted in the center because one of her favorite hymns is "I found a pearl of greastest price," Quote
simmonds Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the replies. I think I understand now how it is done. Seems I saw one made at a demonstration once that was done without the hacksaw preparation. Hot cut chisel maybe????? Great Hymn triw! Chris Edited June 21, 2008 by simmonds Quote
triw Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Thank you and yes I have seen them made with a hot cut just a lot more work Quote
nett Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Chris Friedrich uses a chisel and leaves the hammer and chisel marks on to make it look rustic. He also makes large ones for grave crosses out of 2 1/2 inch material. Quote
