compound cuts not sure of maker of pattern how ever I them them. Cut from oak stained in red oak and cut with FD 4 blade. size is about 4 tall for big and 3 for small .How ever I have done the small even smaller for battery candle .Yhanks for look and comments are always welcome go or bad .

Cut this piece today. It's 16-1/2" long made 3/4" pine no finish that's the way they wanted it.

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.

"The Note" is a pattern by Charles Dearing on 1/8" Baltic birch. Jan painted one and we oiled the other. "Forsaken" is by Grampa also on 1/8" BB. HOG is by Sullyscroller on a plate that our local Micheals was clearing because it was separating, got two of them for 3 dollars each. Thanks to Phantom Scroller and Fab 4 for their help on the pattern. Jeff

I recently needed some thin boards wider than the ones I have. I looked at the prices on the wider boards, and decided I would try to save the cost of having the supplier edge glue them for me. Many years ago I found out how to do this. I could not find the jig I used then so I made a new and improved one. It will go up to 8" wide, which is as wide as I think I will be needing. It consists of a fixed fence on one side of a base, with an adjustable fence on the other side. The boards are placed between the fences, with the fences adjusted to raise the centers of the boards above the surface of the base. When the centers are forced down against the base, they come together with enough force to make a good glue joint. Then a caul is clamped along the center joint to keep it flush with the surface. After the glue sets, the pressure is released from the fences and then the caul is removed. I wax the base and the caul to prevent the glue from sticking to them. Of course the quality of the joint depends on getting the edges to be glued straight and square. I used a hand plane to do this. The first photo shows the jig with the narrow boards ready to have glue applied. I usually just run a bead of glue down the center gap, then work it into the gap with a piece of paper. Next to the clamp are the shims I use to hold the centers of the boards up while I am adjusting the fence. The second photo shows the pieces clamped up, waiting for the glue to cure. The third photo shows the glued up board. The glue squeeze out needs to be removed, which I do with a cabinet scraper followed by sanding. This is the most tedious part of the whole operation.

I was going to make a tic tac toe board with pegs for a 5 year old that has two infant brothers. Then I thought about the choking hazard of the pegs, so I decided to make the pegs much larger. Now i figure I will turn them so they are just over 1.25 inches in diameter at the top and maybe 3/4 inch where they fit the board. The puzzle I planned to make was already over size in all the pieces. But I was concerned about making sure the wood will resist cracking and splintering, so I think I will use a piece of hard kiln dried maple. .

Here's a couple of my first protects I did I only been scrolling for 3 week now. On the horse I used plywood and the eye chipped a little so I had to sand it down to get the chip out.

Hi everyone My wife told me to get a hobby so I did some looking around and found scroll sawing, and i' m glad I did I really like it a lot.

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.

The past 2 weeks I haven't do anything on the saw, My back has been bothering so yesterday I went out and worked a couple of hours and my back was getting tired so I went into the house picked up a fishing magazine and then My back felt ok so I went fishing Well I will have to take a couple of days off again. The onlly good thing tat happened was I caught a 20 inch Large mouth Bass weighing 4 lbs on 8 dlb line It was a good fight adnd well worth a couple of days off the saw. No pictures I didn't have my phone the baaattery was dead. IKE

I am both old and lazy (High School coach said I had Chinese Rheumatism. That's where all your blood turns into lead and settles in your A_____ .) Too much work to bend down and accurately set the degree of table tilt. I went to: GOOGLE - PRINT PROTRACTOR and imported that into Inkscape. Drew/traced the attached protractor. Made it 2 1/4" high. Next week I will go to a copy shop and have it laminated. Next it will be glued to an 1/8" scrap for strength. Will saw just below the bottom and sand to the bottom line. Intended to be held behind a tensioned blade when tilting the table to a desired angle. My newest version of Inkscape prints @ 100%. IF anyone wants a copy, resize as needed. jerry ProtractorOne.pdf

Tuner is there a farmer's market in your community or within say 1 hour? It would be a good place to get a space one weekend and see how it goes. Also look at Events and Activities in your local Craigslist. Craigslist is a great resource especially to find holiday bazaars in November / December.

Down Right Awesome.All of ya did an Awesome job.

Very nice I like them all great use of old plates too Thanks for sharing Frank

Brilliant work on all of them Jeff. I really like the painted Note. 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.

Great work thanks for sharing

Last Fall my pet dragon and book Guardian Bibliophiline escaped. Apparently she mated with a Parrot-Dragon somewhere in the jungles of Tennessee. Now that her offspring have hatched and matured, they are ready for adoption - I can't keep them all - I don't have enough book worms. Adoption Fees vary depending on the color (exotic woods are harder to cut and up to 5 times more expensive than poplar). They have been treated with Walnut-Oil; so they have no fleas!

Great job on the dragons. This is one of my favorite patterns to cut. Jim

Those are some great cuttings and what a great bunch of pattern designers you selected to work with. Well done. jim penquin

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

Great job to both of you.

Very nice job on those.

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.

Great pattern and cutting. Marg, Is Hoop Pine a type of tree?

Russell and Marg make a nice team! Great cutting Marg!

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.

I read somewhere that the size can be checked using the tube from a toilet paper roll. If it fits in the tube it is a choking hazard.

Finished this 69 Dodge Charger today, increased to 11x14" and added the year the person wanted which was optional, the grille was the hardest to cut, and pattern is from Don R. edward

Nice cutting,they came out great

Thanks for bringing the patterns to life, great job

Well done! Great cutting on all of them.

Very nicely done. Those all came out great. Thanks for sharing them with us. DW

Good job on both cutting and pattern, well done to both of you. jim penquin

Yes i have a lot of led lights in our house shop, outside, and they are all soildered in but they are suppose to last a long time, so I guess they are a throw away item like everything else made, RJ

Impressive. Great Job.

He did a great job on the pattern, you did a great job on the cutting and finishing. A+

To be a Supporter you have to go to the Store which is in the "More" drop down menu. However, I think I am finding out that if you are already a "Supporter" you can't get to it that way.... least all I get clicking the store are info about my past orders. Anyway here is a link to get to the spot to purchase a "Supporter Badge" http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/store/product/2-ssv-supporter/

very nice job

Have you tried contacting the MFG? Do all of the LEDS go off? If so then it is either the power supply or a connection or maybe a switch problem. If it comes on for a while and then quits then I would lean towards a defective power supply that is heating up.

It will be if PA tax authorities - local find out. You should collect tax - even if it is built into the price of the work you are selling. This way you are covered when they want to collect. You should keep track of the 6% PA sales tax, just in case. DW

LOVE IT....TALENT PLUS THERE..............EYE CATCHING ..............Danny

I'm truly amazed at your skills Marg, another great cutting. Thank you for taking the time to show us a pic and give me credit for the pattern. It looks so perfect, I'm very impressed. I'm sure your fam will love it Thanks again Marg Russell
