Oldmansbike Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 The ones I have made were not cut at an angle and were fairly easy to make. OCtoolguy, danny and Loskoppie 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelCass Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Steve Good posted two new ones this week and he has a bunch in his pattern gallery. He also has U-Tube video on some of them. Loskoppie, OCtoolguy and danny 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctutor Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Steve's post today is a basket. He gets the look of tilting the sides by making each ring smaller that the next one up. fairly easy to do. Carole Rothman has book on Wooden Bowls on Amazon that uses the table tilting method. A bit challenging.

TAIrving Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 The basket patterns posted by Steve Good make very nice baskets. He usually recommends they be cut from 1/4" wood and they are cut straight up and down. The backets cut at an angle are a different type altogether. They are cut from thicker wood, 1/2" or even thicker. They make a bowl blank for turning on a lathe. The angle to cut depends on the pattern and the thickness of the wood. I tried this once and the result went to the burn pile. I have this on my list of things to try again in the distant future, emphasis on "distant".

The type that are cut at an angle are more challenging and more sanding is involved. If you let us know which you are interested in we can be of more help. I bought a book by the name of "Boxes, Bowls, & Baskets" that I've found useful. My first basket was a stacked one, shown here.

Richard Hotchkiss Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Barbara, The baskets are pretty easy to do once you make the first one and a good way to practice your techniques with both straight and curved lines. Like others have mentioned Steve Good has many patterns available that really look nice when completed. I cut most of mine out of 3/8" and 1/2" baltic birch and have even done a few out of red oak though they take a bit longer because of going slower but they do turn out nice. Give them a try and I'm sure you will enjoy making them. Also Ray, that is a beautiful basket that you posted, great job!

Randyw81 Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 There are lots of different styles and methods for baskets. I have tried several. A collapsible style is fairly easy once you get your tilt angle right. There are a wide variety of stacked ones ranging from easy to difficult. My personal favorite is sometimes listed as monroe dutcher style because they use less material and look more like actual woven baskets. I'm not sure if the patterns are still in publication for them. Loskoppie and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don watson Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 I have had great success with the Alex Fox patterns. Straight (vertical) cuts and all cut from a piece of 1/4" plywood. I would recommend. Loskoppie and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab4 Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hi Barb: I Googled "baskets for scroll saw patterns", it brought me to Pinterest and showed many patterns for baskets No angle cuts requires for the baskets they show but a small drill bit drilled into a specific area in the basket will not show You can resize the baskets to whatever you want. Once you get by the first basket, you will be hooked on making others Fab4 don watson, Loskoppie and OCtoolguy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loskoppie Posted July 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 From Barbara Thanks all I have seen Steve Goods Patterns and have wanted to try but I felt it may be it is harder than what it looks like. I am now going to try one bee sending picks. OCtoolguy and Roberta Moreton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davevand Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I use Steve Good patterns for baskets a lot. I will shrink or blow up the pattern depending in the size of the stock I am using. I also very the thickness of the stock to get a different look. I recently made a SG basket that I stack cut two layers, one layer was thinner than the other, the two resulting baskets look completely different. One is taller and has a narrow look, the other is short and squatty. don watson, OCtoolguy and Loskoppie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davevand Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Should have added a pic ~6" diameter from point to point at top, 9 layers (10 counting the bottom piece) stack cut from the same piece of stock that was resawn. Short basket has rings that are ~5/16 thick and is about 3-1/4" tall Tall basket has rings that are 7/16" thick and is ~4-1/2 inches tall OCtoolguy, Loskoppie, BadBob and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Alex Fox a member here has some really nice baskets. He calls them bowls but they don't hold soup. https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexFoxUA?section_id=24170222 Here is an original Alex fox pattern but he has a few much more interesting on his site. I have one my to do list. Loskoppie, OCtoolguy and BadBob 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 I have a pattern right now that requires 2 pcs of veneer that are about 10 x10" ea. I can't find anything that is in my budget. The cost of goods is not the problem. It's the shipping. I've been thinking about buying a piece of pressure sensitive 2ft x 8ft but can't find it in Cherry. I'm high-centered until I can get some. I will not be held hostage to shipping costs. Loskoppie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
