My last two projects before my new Pegas Scroll Saw Arrives tomorrow.

[FrankEV]

The Let’s Ride Plaque is a birthday Present for my Son, who is an avid Motorcycle Rider and I thought this would be a good addition to his Man Cave.  The pattern is intended for 11”X 14” and is from Scroller #8676SC.  The top layer is cut from 1/4” thick solid Maple board and the backer is piece of 5/32” solid core plywood painted gloss black.  Purchased frame from Wallmart (Better and cheaper than I can make with the equipment I have available). I have had no luck with spiral blades yet so this pattern was completed using Pegas  # 1 and #2 Modified  Geometry blade’s.   Got a lot of good experience doing this project and broke a lot of the #1 blade’s in the process.  About 12 hours of scrolling time with a lot of cussing.

A Rose for You is an 8" X 10" pattern from Steve Goods SCROLLSAW WORKSHOP Website.  It is another project where I added Color.  Steve suggested a color pattern printed on photo paper to be used on the backer but I chose to hand paint the areas behind the cut outs with acrylic craft paint adding a little different look than his.  Both the top layer and backer are 5/32” thick Maple solid Core Plywood and again mounted in a Frame I purchased at Wallmart.      I used mainly #2 Sharktooth Reverse Blade’s to cut this pattern.  However, if you look close I did make an attempt to use a spiral blade on the letter “s” in Rose and I quickly quit and went back to a standard blade.  This wall plaque can be hung either horizontal as pictured or vertically.  Not quite sure who will be the recipient of this work as a gift.

Great work, Frank!
What type of saw are you using now?
I always felt skittish about using skulls, skeletons, etc. on motorcycle plaques
but, that seems to be what most bikers really like. I guess I'm a bit superstitious
or something.
Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

A 18" Porter-Cable I purchased in Lowes a while ago.  Hoping the Pegas makes it a little easier.  The blade on  the PC Jumps around a lot when not in a saw kerf.  Makes starting a neat cut diffilcult.  

I have a bunch of MC patterns I've done, or plan to do, but this one provided a challenge I needed to improve my skill.   

Yeah, Skulls are not my cup of tea either, but made this as a gift for my son's birthday.  He's a lot younger and I think he will like it.

BTW, read your closing sentence and did not see the punctionuations.  Was wondering why you were asking God to Bless Spirithorse? 

Thanks

Both very nice Frank.

I do like the rose and the way you made it POP with the use of colour on the backer.

Thanks for the reply, Frank,
I have thought about the closing, "God Bless! Spirithorse" and I hope if enough people read it that way (without punctuation) it's
like I'm getting a lot more people praying for me. Believe me, I really need all the prayers I can get for my family's health!
God Bless! Spirithorse
