OCtoolguy Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Barb and I went to the Orange County Fair yesterday and they always have a great showing by the Orange County Woodworkers and the Orange County Scroll Saw Assoc. Actually, this is how I got interested in scrolling. Four years ago I met a gentleman by the name of Ken Cowell who was doing a demonstration of marquetry on his homemade scroll saw that he operated with one foot on a treadle board. Anyway, he wasn't there yet yesterday but this table was on display. He did a masterful job on it. I hope to be able to do something like this someday. Maybe. Possibly. If I live long enough.

He is truly a master at marquetry. I only took one of his classes and came away with a pretty good understanding of how it works. stoney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Darn, Ray, you are a trouble maker.... spent a couple precious hours, that I should have been out in the hot sun working, watching the guys video and learning thing about the marquetry again. Been down this road many times. I have also watched this guy's video during my past searches.... I have got to give it a try after a couple other projects get finished... I get a real kick out of his scroll saw, sounds like it is falling apart... but it gets the job done. But of all the things one can do with a scroll saw,,,, this is my idea of the ultimate scroll saw art.

I spent $50 and took his class about 3-4 years ago. I highly recommend the book that I have mentioned in previous posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjweb Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 That is beautiful, yes that is on my bucket list to learn how to do, a few of us should get together and try and learn to do it on line, among ourselves, RJ OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 One thing I need to do is Make a real "Bucket List" and learn to stick with it. I get so easily sidetracked. Got to put the list of pictures I want to cut at the bottom of the list, I keep doing "one more picture" I guess because that is where I am most comfortable. Right now I am in the middle of two pictures, one on each saw... Two more pictures to add to my stack Well one is spoken for, so it is really one more to the stack.

OCtoolguy Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 It's really not that difficult to do. In fact, the video that Dave Monk recently posted does a great job of explaining the process. You just will be working with veneers instead of thicker wood which requires tilting the table more. What stopped me from doing more of it is that you end up with a very thin sheet of wood with a picture on it. Then you have to have a use for it. I guess you could just frame it and have another wall hanger. Anyway, it's fun to do and another skill learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
