Popular Post Fred Kile Posted March 8, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Two years ago I did't imagine I'd be able to do this kind of scroll saw art. Let me know what you think. Maybe a few suggestions on where I could improve? Phantom Scroller, Jim Finn, munzieb and 14 others 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 looks like you have everything in place. Extremely nice work. Scrolling is a craft where one can progress quite quickly, if their attention is focused and one continues to strive for perfection. I would have to say, after viewing your work, that you certainly have been using your scroll saw a lot and I would say you have also already been challenging yourself on a regular basis. Keep up the good work. If I was going to suggest anything for you after you said you wish to be challenged I guess about to only challenges for you would be to search out patterns that look almost impossible and take it on. I believe you can probably scroll anything you see already Dick heppnerguy danny, Old Joe and Jim Finn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Looks great. I think you outdid yourself. I don't know how much more challenging work you need. Those shells look pretty challenging to me. I always wanted to try those but I don't think I could ever do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Johnson Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 All very beautiful Fred. Imagination can sometimes improve a certain project making it your own. That's the way I think when doing any project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Wonderful work! WOW! Hard to think of more challenging projects. A different direction though may interest you. There are many other areas to use a scroll saw. 3d cuttings (compound cutting), sign making, toy making, intarsia and inlay are all different ways to use your scroll saw.

RabidAlien Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I literally thought the Mustang was an ad photo that you used to make a template, and not the final project itself. VERY NICELY DONE!!!! ...which begs the question, *is* there a pattern for that? I work with some 'Stang guys who would love this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Not being a "car guy" I never gaze at car pictures for long. Can's stop looking at the Mustang. Of course they're all above my paygrade! If you've only been scrolling 2 years you've apparently got that thing a good athlete has that can't be taught. I'm with Kirk, "is there a pattern for the Mustang?" And what size did you cut it? Thanks for sharing! (jealous over here ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkort Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 just wanted to add again to the other comments your work is AWSOME!!! just how did you get the car to look like a photografe? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a past '67 fastback Mustang owner I just had to figure out a way to reproduce it. The overall dimensions are 12" x 25" and the Mustang image is 18" x 5".

To tell you the truth, I'm very pleased how it turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Kile Posted March 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Here are few other designs I have completed: We had a boxer when I was quite young a din remember how comical she was, so I tried to capture that persona with the Peek-a-Boo Boxer project. The Lord of the Rings shield was made of my son who loves anything Tolkien-related. The Tree of Life Celtic across was a gift for my pastor who had just returned from Ireland, and the "see no evil" sign is my safety reminder in my shop (images borrowed from an advertisement in Lowe's).

Animals, as toys, are what I make. Fancifull ones like dragons and more realistic ones. I am planning on making a kinda' realistic elephant after I finish the batch of toys I am working on today. I do inlay and mass produce toys mostly. Depends on where your interest lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think inlay would be more challenge than I'm up for. I'd like to see some of the fanciful and realistic dragons, not to do any, just because I admire creativity in people.
