What kind of scrolling?

[Travis]

What kind of scrolling do you typically do? I know most of us dabble in a bit of everything, but we tend to gravitate back to a certain type of project. Do you do mostly portraits? Intarsia? Compound Cutting? Puzzles? Decorative items? I know I find myself making lots of simple cars for my son and to give away. I also do a lot of portrait style cuttings. H'bout you?

[Clayton717]

I used to do a lot of portrait style cuttings, now I like doing intarsia the best. have several projects I want to do but always seem to find my way back to working on intarsia the most. Its just neat to have all them pieces come together as one piece.

When it comes to woodworking as a whole, Furniture Making is what I really enjoy doing, as for Scroll Saw work I am a portrait cutter. Now my pattern making is what keeps me connected to woodworking and scrolling specifically, cause I just can't afford to do much in the shop.

Puzzles......puzzles........puzzles......puzzles.......and puzzles!

 

Oh did I mention I like to do puzzles?

[Bubba1962]

As someone else said, PUZZLES...why? They are easy, lots of room for 'mistakes', fast, and people really like them. I was showing a picture to a lady at work of the giraffes from last months magazine, and she said she would really like one. So, I sat down, and in less than 1.5 hours, had the best set I've done so far. When I gave them to her, she almost cried!! That was cool, and easy, and most importantly, FUN!!

My favorite scroll saw cuttings are clocks (using the smaller clock inserts). In addition to this I also like to turn pens. I call my 'business' "Pens, Clocks, 'N More" and my website is http://www.PensAndClocks.com.

I guess my favorite type of scrolling is "Portrait " type cutting, I enjoy puzzles, and have recently got in to making mini-clocks. Someday I want to try Intarsia, that totally intrigues me, but haven't tried yet. I love pattern making also... Bill

I would say that when it comes to scrolling that my passion is creating intarsia. I love working with the different woods,drawing the patterns and enjoy the challenge of making something that is totally unique.

I have been making signs and name plates most related to animals,fishing & hunting

[wood-n-things]

I'd have to say I do a variety but I really enjoy doing the puzzles I'm doing now. When I had to take almost 6 months away from the shop I came back with a new vigor and focus. I really enjoy giving puzzles to friends neighbors and the hospitals in the area. Especially the cancer care house and radiation oncology. I suppose in time I'll be trying something new but for now it's puzzles.

 

I have my own website that generates just enough sales to keep me busy and pay for new toys/tools and materials. http://www.woodnthingsworkshop.com/

I Guess for me it would be portrait style cutting and fretwork. I also want to try puzzles, and eventually maybe

intarsia or segmentation.

[Gypsum]

My interest is primarily portraits. It interests me and I like to do it.

[two saws]

I really like to do portrait style cuts but they just dont sell and I dont have the room to keep them so the next best things are crosses and word art and boxes.

My first love is fretwork but also do quite a bit of portrait style only not of people.

[paul44224]

I do mostly portraits, people and cars are my favorites. When my soc. sec./va dis. ever gets approved, I will get some more equip., band-saw and a router, and start making my own frames and boxes. My goal this next year is to learn pattern-making, and some intarsia. Got a few ideas for some killer intarsia car patterns.

Protraits and Fretwork would love to have some patterns of old fretwork. And while I have the chance I want to thank everyone envolved with this sight . IT IS FANTASTIC

[loghome]

[wjbclocks1]

I like to do clocks I have made a complete Dome,and Apostle, roman Catheadal clocks as well as a few wall clocks ,also some portraits

[Trimax]

Portraits mostly have never done intrasia what to try it but afraid if i start may become addicted!!!

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

I am an all around scroller but like the fret work clocks both large and desk type. I also am a turner and trying to incorporate both artforms together. This year I wat to try my hand at an intarsia project. Have never done one but I have one I want to give a shot at. Will see. Scrolling and turning are fun hobbies and you really can get alot of enjoyment out of both.

[rja]

I seem to gravitate to cutting stand up puzzles the most. They are fun, easy, and sell well. Next I like compound cutting. Its fun cutting both sides of your object then pealing away the waste to reveal the prize inside.

[CharlieB100]

I currently do puzzles and fret work christmas orn

[steviegwood]

I do make a lot of portraits but just about anything fretwork. The more intricate the better. But I do have to fall back on some of the easier cuttings to make any money at shows. The intricate cuttings do not sell fast enough to make it worthwhile to tie up all of my time in them so I mostly make them for myself or as orders. Steve

[cyclistjim]

I find myself doing puzzles. I like solving puzzles so I guess that is a fit. I thought I was going to be doing more Fret work. Now that winter is here I'm on my winter break. It is way too cold outside in my shed to do anything. I don't mind the heat we get here but I can't stand the cold :(. Once we warm up I'll go back out and start again
