Travis Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 I'm just curious what everybody's working on? Do you have a project on the saw right now? Or are you regrouping for your next project? I'm hoping to finish off this Raven designed by Sue (Shadylady0447). Stack cutting 3 pieces (2 BB and 1 Oak). I have most of the small areas cut, so its just a matter of finishing off the large areas, then finish. I have a frame already picked out for it. I can't wait to get it done. Quote
Barry5180 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 I think at the moment I have some scrap lumber on my saw....LOL Unfortunately I've got to finish setting up shop before I can get some stuff cut. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Just soooooo much to do this time of year. Soon I hope. Barry Quote
Messman Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 mmmmm lets see, designer firewood. Since I started out using spiral blades I have been messing around with some flats, just trying to get the feel for them. I have to tell you, I am thinking of staying with my spirals, although I am not giving up on the flats just yet. Quote
GBrewer Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Well, been busy with the upcoming Pioneer Days in New Boston, Texas (August). Other than that just finished a name plaque for a customer using 3/4 oak. Fixing to get back at the Pioneer Days stuff. Hope everyone is having a great time. Quote

Clayton717 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 I am getting ready to start a fallen hero intarsia piece. Quote
britetomro Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Finishing up a portrait style project this weekend. Will upload photos by Sunday. Have a great weekend all. Quote
Christina Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Well, let's see hehe...........a pair of scissors. I haven't cut anything since my computers broke down......couldn't print anything out. And the last few days my grandson has been visiting...........so between that and trying to catch up on some pattern requests I promised BEFORE my computer broke, I haven't done any cutting. I have one planned, lol, but until I see if it's going to work or just become another fine piece of designer firewood I'd rather not talk about it!!! Wouldn't want to embarrass myself that way roflmbo! Christina Quote
macfil20 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Just finished 10 keychain from steve Good programm to practice on my new EX21 the past couple days and finishing 2 rottwieller cuts that I will be posting this weekend. JP Quote
Christina Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Way cool JP..........can't wait to see them. Christina Quote
britetomro Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Just finished this up today. Also posted on Bragging Rights. Am happy with this one. Quote
Christina Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Wow Britetomro...........that is just gorgeous! I love the way you framed it too........really compliments the cutting very well. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Christina Quote
Pixman Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Practice pieces. I'm working at reducing Victorian fretwork pieces to 1/12 [inch] and 1/24 [1/2 inch] scale to do some dollhouse miniature pieces. Garbage collection tomorrow will make more room for the pile that didn't make it. Working in those scales makes you very aware of your fingertips! Magic Quote
Christina Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Way cool Magic...........I would love to know how you reduce the size to that scale. I've always wanted to create my own miniature furniture patterns. I used to belong to a kit of the month club as a kid. All the pieces came pre-cut and you sanded and glued them together and finished them. They were all reproductions of antique furniture and it was soooo much fun. I hope you will share your work with us when you get them finished! Christina Quote
juvy Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 I have bits of tape and paper I pulled off all the red gum key names I finished using Steve Good's program. To make them different I scanned some of the patterns back in and changed the font. The plan is to use then instead of name tags on all x-mas gifts this year. Next is a picture of a church organ a dear old lady asked for.... her son used to play this organ at a local church. Talk about challenge! Lost of little thin straight lines....... Juvy Quote
wdkits1 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Hi all Not much on the scrollsaw right now but am gearing up to start a commission to build new shelving and cabinets for a clients walk-in closets.I ordered 575 bf of Brazilian cherry from Wall Lumber and have made room in the shop to store it. This project should keep me busy for about 5 weeks. The same client then wants me to do an intarsia of a 1968 Porsche 911.We're having fun now !!! Quote
Clayton717 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 I put the fallen hero intarsia aside and started working on a project that I forgot about. It is an 1866 carbine intarsia piece. Its been started for several months, just got busy and forgot about it. I've got a couple intarsia projects cut out just need to start putting them, So I decided to get it finished before I start something new. Quote
GBrewer Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Still working on the crafts for the Pioneer Days. This only comes around once a year so have to have plenty to go around. By the way...will be my first one of these. Today I designed a few patterns to cut for the festival using CorelDraw X4 and I'm starting to pick up my pace with the program. Also, Steve Good is a big help on this program. Yep, I cut a couple of those keychain-a-ma-jigs also on my Hitachi CW40. Not bragging, just jealous of the EX21. Not really. I like my Hitachi. I bought mine at Lowe's and purchased the extended 1 year warranty. I wonder how many new replacements I can get throughout the year? Depends on the need. Happy cutting everyone! Quote
sawtooth6 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Some sawdust, a piece of 400 grit sandpaper and my reading glasses, just cant seem to get motivated to cut anything. Donnie Quote
Christina Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Wow sounds like some great projects are being done! Remember to take pics and share everyone...........we do so love to see the goodies! LOL Donnie you sound like me! I have actually printed some patterns out and they're next to my scroll saw lol. Now I just have to get enough ooomph to try sitting in that dang chair long enough to do some cutting. It kills my back and hips........gotta get me a new chair! Thanks for participating in this thread everyone and have a great day! Christina Quote
Tom J Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 I'm working on my third box like this. First was for my wife. Second for my grand-daughters birthday. The one I am working on now will be for my youngest daughter. Tom Quote
Vector01 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Hi All: Finally cutting the portrait for my grandson. I got till the weekend to have it done Quote
Christina Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 That is a gorgeous box Tom.............thanks for sharing it with us. Cool Vector....can't wait to see it! Christina Quote
Travis Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Posted June 18, 2009 That's a really cool box, Tom! You did a great job on it. You should put a copy in your User Gallery (you can [tut]find a tutorial on how to set one up here[/tut]). That's certainly something to be proud of! Nicely done! Quote
