I don’t know if this counts as a ‘latest scroll saw project’;  but it is a project and it is for my scroll saw.  
 

it’s a below-the-table dust pickup for my Hegner VS22.  All those Seyco, Excalibur, and Jet saws with the through the table pickups had me jealous, so I’m correcting it.  
 

i e to drill the hole through the dust port, and then hot glue it under the table.  There’s a pair of strengthening ribs under it this will fit between.  Then an adapter for my loc-line pipe and I get to try it out.  Hopefully it won’t be in the way too much.  If I don’t like it I can easily cut the hot glue loose and put it comes.  
 

it’s made from PVC pipe heated and flattened/shaped as needed.  No scroll saw was used, however.  All hand saws, chisels, heat gun, etc.

Do you have a picture of that hooked up to your saw.  I don't quite understand how you did it.

Lot of wonderful projects here that are very well done. 

Myself, Hmmm... I cannot really remember what my last project for the scroll saw is / was.. I'm probably going to have to remember how to use it the next time I get a scroll saw project to make. I've been very busy with the laser and have had some CNC projects I've done.. 

I do have a Sheila Landry design I want to cut for my Daughter if / when I get the chance too. It's a sign that says "wine me up and watch me go" with wine bottles on it.. But with fall coming and needing to get prepped for winter and building inventory for the holiday sales etc.. I may not get to that one this year.

Scroll saw segmentation using various 1/8 inch thick hardwoods.  Pattern from The Best of Wood Vol 2 1993.

Really nicely done.

I gave a break to my saw for awhile. Building inventory for a couple of shows. Charcuterie boards and cutting boards seems to be in demand.

Here are a sample of what I have done this past week. The last one was pour 2 hours ago.

My latest project is my bathroom cabinet which I put in the "Other works" forum....I am amazed how much I miss using my scroll saw.  So here is the latest one I finished which I submitted in the bragging section awhile back.  Hope to saw more fun items soon!

I don’t understand how it works either.  Inquiring minds want to know!

Horse ornaments!

I have two.  The Rose is one I have been working on already (I believe I posted the pick in the past), but I finally decided on a background and finish.  Made this one for my Mom. I finished it with Walnut Danish oil for the rose, and a Mahogany stain for the back ground.

The Labrador is for a dear friend of my Dads.  He had a yellow lab that was his pride and joy.  He passed a few years back but he still comes up in conversations now and then. I thought I'd make him something as a remembrance.  As you can see, I have a ways to go on it.

Everyone's work is amazing.  It is interesting that some of the posts I see the photos and others I have to click a link.

Ok, I post the pictures again, hopefully everybody can see them.

Some quick little cars/truck/train made with scrap 2x4s for little hands.  All gone already to new little hands!

This vase (pattern by Steve Good) was part of the meeting of the Scrollers Chapter of the Central Indiana Woodworkers. We used the flower pattern to test how polymer clays could enhance our scrolled projects. Other items, like keychains, could be use for clays. We learned the clay is very hard after it is baked. The best way is to insert the clay is from the back of the item and push it into the hole. We got a used toaster oven from Good Will that is used only for baking clays. Plus when pushing the clay in, we used a stone below the item to prevent any chemicals from the clay to leach out. You will notice, there is a slight bulge on the material after it is baked.

Will the clay sand flat after it is baked?

A few I finished.  I used oak and cherry with a semigloss poly finish.

What does the baking do to the wood, change color, can you sand the clay flat?

I almost did not see this months projects but I wanted to get on it anyway, even though I am barely making the deadline. I posted this one in bragging post but I enjoyed doing it so I thought I would go ahead and re-post it here. It has been a while since I had made any intarsia so here again is my beaver I did this month

Nothing fancy here, but I have all my ducks in a row. I don't know how many little animal cutouts I have made over the years. Over a thousand, for sure. I learned how to use my first scroll saw to make animal cutouts. Kids love them, and so do some adults. All but two of these are cut from oak using #5 Pegas MGT blades. Two are salvaged mystery wood.

I have been so busy at work @ NATO SACT HQ, finishing up one project and starting another one, plus I have been working on my permanent dust collection system in my workshop the last two weekends.

Did a very easy project this AM.  I really love walnut and how it finishes with raw linseed oil.  The chocolaty color is yummy!

This is a flag holder and it is for one of the cleaning ladies at NATO SACT HQ.  I see her at 5:30 AM when I go from the 5th to the 3rd floor to get ice and filtered water.  Somehow when we were talking she mentioned needing a flag stand for her flags.  This actually holds three (3) flags.  So it will have the NATO Flag, the US (or any other country) Flag, and the HQ SACT Flag.

I like this design so much, I might crank out another one for my desk!!!  Perhaps making it a hair bigger 30-50%.

Flag holder is nice, well cut!  The fact that you take time to stop and chat with the cleaning lady.....AWESOME, sir!

Is there a pattern somewhere for this flag stand.
