See this in the pattern library and liked it pattern is by Grampa Frank

When I do delicate pictures I need a zero clearance table top. In the past I have made a 1/8" table top to put on my Ex with a little hole drilled in it for the blade and "zero" clearance. Over time the hole get bigger and bigger until there is no more zero clearance. When that happened I made a new table top. Last night it hit me, like duh, why replace the whole table top. Why not just drill a larger hole, make an insert kinda like my Hagner has. Here it is, took me about 15 minutes and I can easily make a supply of inserts to replace worn out ones. So simple.

Hearts for my students Olive Wood Pendant

This is Melbourne Storm, it the logo for Melbourne rugby team. It's cut from 3mm Hoop Pine. I normally cut A4 size but this one is A3 ,29.7cm x 42cm. I stack cut 3 of them all for family members. Thanks Russell for the pattern you did a great job my friend. Marg

Hi everyone, Here's some of the key chains that are done. Have about 15 more to do. There all cut out already. I used walnut on the back and B/B on the front. All scrap I had laying around. Just have to put the colored clay in the letters, sand them down and dip them in lacquer. My kindergarten kids should be happy.

This one is made different from the 60+ others that I have made. This is about 2-1/2 inches taller than the normal ones that I have done for 30 years. It also has vertical instead of canted legs. The angles were going to be an appearance problem as they would have ended up very close to the rockers and looked all wrong. Used generic 1 by material and modified the design for the longer legs. That involved a slightly longer body, tiny bit narrower head and moving the cross bars to farther apart positions to keep the proportions looking decent at all. As it is being made to the customers specifications. The G & W were a very custom addition. The handle is fitted and then screwed in through the front and top of the head with long sheet-rock screws. It was just a piece of 7" long 3/4 inch dowel that was in the do NOT throw bin. All screws that would be normally visible are sunk deeper and then plugged. There are somewhere between 75 and 80 screws total in this horse. The cross bar are under braced with 1 by pieces that are also screwed and glued. This horse will easily support 150+ pounds with this design. As a former farm boy I had to see if it was saddle broke too. The finish is a brushed on, furniture grade polyurethane with the detail painting being acrylic craft paints. The urethane has one coat under and one over the details. I will happily answer any questions. I have documented the build with many photos and will be slowly making a tutorial. The entire cutting was done on an 18 inch Porter-Cable scrollsaw. The hardest part of it was the rockers. I will put the blade in backwards for part of the rocker cut on the next one I make. My 20" D-W that died could reach by just cutting from two directions, but the 18" can not do it. YES; I have a messy shop! My woodworking is not quite; but, almost a self-supporting hobby. This is due to using salvage material when I can and being a wood hoarder too.

I just finished cutting this. No finish yet. 1/8 Baltic birch ply. Pegas 2/0 spirals. 8" x 10". I posted this photo taken from an odd angle, because other people will often steal the pattern, and I might want to sell it to other scroll saw hobbyists.

most in ply wood some in poplar fuil of termites that moved out i had to keep cuting all sides till i found no more tunnels from them like the last cross i did

Finished the weekend. The pattern is by Sue Mey and purchased from her website. I reduced the pattern by 25% to fit my stock of Ash. The dream catcher is 1/2" Ash and the feathers are 1/8" Walnut and 1/4" Spalted Maple. I used FD UR #1 on the dream catcher and FD New Spiral #3/0 on the feathers. The finish is one coat of sanding sealer and two coats of spray Shellac. Comments welcome.

Thank you Travis and Clayton for the work you have done with the site. I just noticed,we can now once again see who is on line here. It is at bottom of forums page.much appreciated. Right now I am very pleased at how the village is now...thanks once again

@Clayton717is an unsung heroes of SSV. He's been with SSV since the beginning and a moderator almost as long. He's been a huge help in approving new member posts, taking care of duplicate threads and answering reported content. He's quiet, but really is important in keeping the wheels spinning here at SSV. Thanks Clayton! You're awesome! I couldn't do it without you.

Restricting "lurker's" access put this forum in line with most other forums I have been a member of or have visited. A lot of forums will not even let you see pictures posted in members posts unless you are a member. Personally, I really like the upgrade. Great job, Travis. Thank you. I will just through this out there, but maybe you could give options on how much a person want to give to be a Supporter, i.e. $10, $15 or $20. Doesn't need to change the Supporter Badge, just a personal thing on what level a person wants to support. I think you would find many are willing to do it at a higher level. I know they could make a donation plus support, but this would make it easier for a person to throw in a little more.

a couple of bandsaw boxes i done

I use playing cards. Extremely cheap ( dollar store ) and expendable.

Nothing new or fancy here. A week or so ago I saw here where some one put a small box under their saw to collect dust. Well I thought I would try that and it seems to work pretty good. I used those plastic cable ties to attach it to the back and a piece of metal strapping and a rare earth magnet to hold it in place in the front. To clean it out I pull the box down from the magnet and stick my shop vac hose it there. Having it tied in the back doesn't bother me because so far I haven't needed to tilt my table. If I do need to tilt it I will cut it loose and replace it when I am through.

just seen this a day late as i don'r check any more being broke ,disabled and under employed.i called him and left a text cause it's late and offered him $100.for it the 1st.he said ok and pulled the ad .How good is that.This make 9 i've owned and will have 8 in possession as i gave my friend one.

I have been busy. I just finished this cross for a friend of mine to put on her cross wall. She has all sorts of crosses on her wall and now she has one from me. The pattern is a Steve Good pattern.

Hi Clayton: To quote a famous person: YOU'RE FIRED oh, hold on a minute, I just read Travis's message about you Cancel that last statement from that famous person Keep up the great work - We appreciate it, We really do Thanks Fab4

very nice

very nice

Nice work Kris thanks for sharing

Frank Awesome job with Grand Pa's pattern,felt that way a few days ago.

I can't see you having a problem selling the pendant it's very nice. Your students will love the hearts, I can see that you not only teach them you spoil them too. Marg

Love it. You did a great job Frank. Marg

Another one of your great patterns. You will never stop amazing me with your pattern matching skills Dick heppnerguy

Really nice of you to do the hearts for the kids. They will love them. The wood you chose for the necklace is out standing. It should attract the right person fairly quickly and sell Dick heppnerguy

I just use tape. Works for me.

Very nice work. And a bunch of very lucky students, they all look great.

WELCOME from South Texas I think your right you need more control, the farmers market may be just the thing. If I were you I'd do it , if your up to it. I scroll for a hobby and mostly because I enjoy it..... Nothing wrong with making a little money and the cost seems reasonable , why not.

good thinkin', scrappy!

Beautiful wood, Beautiful talent, Beautiful pendent,Lucky 3's

Well I took Christians advice and bought the one from Harbor Freight for $39.99 plus I had a 20 % coupon and it came to $31.98. Not bad. It had a lot of great reviews. Thanks everyone.

They look great Monti,students will love them.

It has to be really difficult to have the dialysis treatments. I used to drive people for their treatments and I sometimes takes a lot out of them.

That`s a great portrait Kris great pattern great cut I love it but then i am a Elvis fan Thanks for sharing Frank

I did one for the Oklahoma Sooner Now I have just finished the one for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Thanks Chachi for the design. It is already sold.

Ok, I'm sure some of you were hoping this was in wood . . . in time, I'll get back to wood, but I just need to get metal out of my system first. In any case, you have to admit, you have probably never seen this done with coins before :-)The gold/bronze inlayed coin is a Greek 100 Drachma, the copper is a Provident Mint coin. Blade was 2/0, angle for inlay was just under 8 degrees. You can't really tell it in the picture, but I lucked out and the inlay is perfectly flush and tight. I'll probably drill a hole in the top for a chain or something.-----Randy

I used my real name as my user name. On another forum, my user name is Sandy Oaks and everyone called me Sandy.

thanks Bobby,I'm interested in doing it different but until figure out an easier way in stuck in a groove,lol

Howdy All. I got notice that the Chat service will be discontinued as of May 1st. The software company is retiring the product and will no longer be available. I don't think it'll impact us too much. Not many people use the service anyway. But I wanted to give you a head's up. Besides, you should be scrolling.

Or go outside the normal box, turquoise inlay. it also adds in an extra layer of value to your work. Then just a nice stain as contrast. Or some other kind of semi precious stone. Strings of beads are not to expensive.
