Popular Post Scrappile Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) I am making a box to gift to my neighbor. Got started on the scrolling this afternoon after cutting and gluing wood for it yesterday. Her box is going to be 3/16" Maple, then I have a 1/4" BB under it so I have more control and it the BB turns out okay, I will have a second box. I plan on lining the box with a dark wood. This is a pattern from Findscrollsaw.com. It is called the "Modena Jewel Box". Pedro, the owner of the site is in Spain. He is a great gentleman to work with. He is recently back after being offline for around 3 months, with an illness and 2 months in hospital... I am so happy he is back that I have purchased 6 of his patterns lately, and have a few more I want,,,, just in case. I plan on doing mostly this type of scrolling this year. Anyway, it is not much accomplished, but I am a very slow scroller and not really in a hurry. When I hurry I make mistakes. This is the lid to the box.

heppnerguy Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 Looking good, my friend. Every since we got back from Oregon, we have had non stop company and as a result, no shop time. Can't wait to get back out there, as there are a lot of patterns, I want to get at. Dick heppnerguy OCtoolguy and Scrappile 2 Quote

Ron Johnson Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 That's going to be a beautiful box when completed Paul. It's always best to take your time with that amount of detail. When done you'll be glad you had. Looking great so far. OCtoolguy, don watson and Scrappile 2 1 Quote
dgman Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 It’s looking great so far Paul! Of all the different types of scrolling, fret work like this is my favorite. Looking forward to your progress. Oscar Myer, Scrappile and OCtoolguy 2 1 Quote
Foxfold Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 Wow, such detail ... You are an amazing scroller Paul and I look forward to seeing 'progress' pictures as you work with this piece. Scrappile, OCtoolguy and Oscar Myer 2 1 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 That's going to be one nice box Paul... My favorite scrolling is the detailed portrait type scenes... Sadly they just aren't something that sells very well.. so I don't do a lot of it.. Scrappile and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote

I am using a Pegas Reverse Skip #3 and where needed a Pegas #2/0 Spiral The box will be 11" X 11" X 3.25" This is what I hope it looks like when I get done, only mine will be Maple.

That is an amazingly difficult project Paul and you are doing a masterful job on it. I hope to someday acquire the skill it takes to do this type of work. You are the MAN! Oscar Myer 1 Quote
Scrappile Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Posted January 20, 2020 Same skill it takes to do any scrolling. Patients and persistence. Same types of cuts, just more of them in one project. Oscar Myer, don watson, OCtoolguy and 1 other 2 2 Quote
new2woodwrk Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 That's one impressive project! I'm sure it's going to be incredible when you're done! Thanks for sharing OCtoolguy, Scrappile and Oscar Myer 2 1 Quote
scrollingforsanity Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 Great job Paul. I would like to come over and see it before you give it away maybe. Scrappile and OCtoolguy 2 Quote
Scrappile Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Really did not intend this to be a progress thread, but thought I would post that I did make some progress today. This is eating the blades, but I expected that. I have used 6 blades so far. I want to keep going, but the back hurt and eyes are tired. If I don't quit, I will be sorry.

scrollingforsanity Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 You made quite a bit of progress today. Much better to have a nice sharp blade than try to run one to long and mess something up. Oscar Myer and OCtoolguy 2 Quote
