Popular Post jerrye Posted December 27, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Second real scroll saw project, unfinished as yet. Cut as a gift for in-laws, they love hummingbirds. Steve Good pattern, 1/4" BB, MG #1 blade. Thinking about a brown acrylic paint thinned to a wash consistency for the fretwork, with the backer clear coated. Any other suggestions on finish?

RabidAlien Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Excellently done!!! Steve Good has a TON of awesome projects that'll help stretch your skills. Although in the future, based on this...I don't think you are qualified to title your posts "getting my feet wet". You've dove in head first and are swimming along just fine!!! jerrye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 You are no novice to the scroll saw. That looks to be done by a seasoned scroller......! Great work. RabidAlien and jerrye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomanydogs Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Second scroll saw project? Wow well done. I really like the project too. jerrye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrye Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Yes, this really is just the second patterned cutting I've done on a scroll saw. I did play around a bit before, but nothing significant. Likely reasons for this is that I'm not afraid of getting my fingers near the blade combined with how I always have tested highly in manual dexterity. Also, a Jet saw using Pegas MG blades helps A LOT. Unlikely reason is that I'm actually that good... I do appreciate y'alls encouragement! Coming soon will be my first attempt at making a pattern from a pic and cutting a portrait for another friend.

jerrye Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Here it is. Craftsmart Espresso acrylic paint, mixed 1:1 with water, wiped on with a rag, then wiped off excess with a rag. I'm diggin' it! Now all that's left is clearcoat everything, mount the fretwork to the backer, and affix the sawtooth hanger. Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Very nicely done. I am anxious to see your portrait pattern and cutting. It sounds like you are loaded with talent and certainly not afraid to give things a whirl. Dick heppnerguy jerrye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
