greasemonkeyredneck Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I sold my rocking pig, Poke Chop, at Christmas time. He got such good reviews here locally that I wanted to make another one. This one is very similar to the last one. The greatest exceptions is that I painted the insides of the ears and nose pink, and instead of my usual stain, I used shellac. For those who haven't seen this one before, yes, the whole thing is cut on the scroll saw. The only exception is the thick side of the compound cut for the ears.

greasemonkeyredneck Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks for the input. My love is doing kid's toys that are out of the ordinary. I also get a kick out of doing things like this that most people think can't be done on a scrollsaw. There's a trick to it though. I have an advantage over most. I have an old Craftsman direct drive. It uses only pinned end blades, but it's got the slots to install the blade sideways. Thereore, I can basically use my scrollsaw just like a bandsaw. Actually, according to the plans, a bandsaw is what is supposed to be used for this project. However, I have found I can get much cleaner and accurate cuts with my scroll saw. Makes for a lot less sanding. These type projects require enough sanding without creating more. For any of you who haven't already, go to my user gallery and check out some of my past projects. You've heard of a rocking horse? Well, I don't make those. I do however make a rocking motorcycle, pig, train, and tractor. Stay tuned. I just recieved plans to make a rocking cow and a bull. I'll try to do a complete tutorial on one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
