Hello everybody,
I need your help
I started the scroll saw a few weeks ago.
I find free patterns or on the web (I can't draw), is it a problem if I show you my work from these patterns?
Cordialement.
Eric

The third Photograph shows my work for the Christmas tree, I still have to paint them.

Sorry for my bad English

I try don't to use Google Translation too much

I'm waiting for your criticism and advices.

Have a good day

Eric

Put the date you made your first projects. Then look at them in a year an see how much you improved. Looks good for first time. Don’t worry about your English it is better than some Americans lol. An much better than my French. 

[Eric67]

Thank you Trackman,

You are very indulgent with me and my English 

[preprius]

The horse is great,  the cutting shows the that the horse is running. 

the black cat looks like you are having fun with fine delicate pieces.

what blades did you use?

How thick was the wood for the horse?

What problems did you have?

After reading all the above posts I was thinking Eric is going to post Scrolled pieces that are not good, but Hey I was Fooled....Your Scrolling is a Natural.

All cut with what I would classify as a Intermediate Scroller.  Much Better than a Beginner....  Danny  and Welcome to our Group.  You will Love it.

Eric, your English is much better than my French. Your skills with the scroll saw are much better than the average beginner. What brand of saw do you have? Your work is great. Be sure to put the date on all the things you make. And please become a regular poster here on the Village.

As most of us do. I'm in So. Cal. and speak a different English than you do in N. Carolina. Very different.

Remember, I was born and raised in NE Ohio.  So very different it very true!

[FrankEV]

Very nice!.  The details in the Christmas ornaments is very, very well done.    

Your english may not be perfect, bet we understand everything you had to say.

 

[Dak0ta52]

Great job on these projects, Eric. There is no language problem here. You speak perfectly through your art.

[old sarge]

I am very impressed with your first efforts.  The detail in the horse is wonderful as are your other projects. Nicely done!

[Norm Fengstad]

You are off to a good start don't be surprised if you become obsessed with craft of scroll art

Hello everyone, thank you for your great criticisms.

For to answer to Preprius and at everybody, the brand of my scroll saw is Einhell, it is a second hand, the last owner bought it but his woman wasn't happy when he used it in flat, too much dust I think.
He worked with it two or three time only.
I modified this saw for to use with blades without pin ( I hope your understand me) it's easier for make lace in the wood piece.
For the time I use plywood with differents thick.
The horse, it's 0.71 inch
The bells it's 0.08 inch.
the blades brand is Peugeot, like the cars.
Soon I think to use the "real wood" and later, I would like to buy a PEGAS 30" but before I have to learn more on the subject (and have more money)

A bientôt !
