Popular Post Dave Monk Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I used a quilt block pattern to make this memory box. It was a lot harder for me than I thought. I cut all the triangles on my scroll saw so there was no way I was able to get them all perfect. I used cedar, poplar, yellow heart, nogal, blue pine and bubinga.

heppnerguy Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Dave, you have such a creative mind and never seem to get stuck on one type of thing but rather you are always experimenting and with so much success as well.

When I did that I could set up stops and could make all the pieces exactly the same. I felt these pieces were way too small to do on a miter or table saw.

Jim Finn Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Thank you for your respect for my efforts, but to be honest, I do fairly good quality and a LOT of quantity. People tell me I have talent but I tell them "No I have perseverance" Life is good. This is my latest: It is a offering box for a local church. I have made three of them. It is made of Ash with inlay of their church logo, using Mahogany and Maple and stained with golden oak stain. Finished with Lacquer, inside and out. Measures 7"x 10" x 3 1/2". Slots in the end are for the offerings to the church to be inserted as it is passed instead of an offering plate. This was inspired by the current virus scare.

spirithorse Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Beautiful work, Dave! I certainly don't see any imperfections in the triangles to be worried about! Thanks for sharing and God Bless!

Dragonkort Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 your work is just beautiful!!! I was thinking of trying to do some inlay work but I have to gt out my books and reread that part, if I remember right you tild the saw one way to make the inlay fllush with the wood and another way if you want it to stick out of the top a little....hum or maybe im thinking of something else all together!! lol doing a lot of research on the things iv forgotten,, looking through my patterns and doing a little scroll sawing in-between!!
