This is a fairly straightforward pattern by Chris Messier. I first tried cutting it about a year ago and gave up after making a BIG GOOF part way through the job. Then, yesterday morning, when nearing completion on the second attempt, I broke off a big piece (that is pointed to with the orange arrow in the first attached photo). I was using a Flying Dutchman Reverse Tooth #1 blade and cutting 4mm thick Baltic Birch Plywood. I decided to start all over again right away but switched both blade and wood. This time I used a Flying Dutchman 2/0 Spiral blade and 6mm thick quarter sawn white oak veneer. I found it much easier using the spiral blade and cut the pattern in a little less than three hours. It was then mounted on another piece of the same material stained black. The whole thing was then sprayed with a couple of coats of gloss polyurethane. I'm going to be giving the completed work to my grandson (an avid fisherman) on his 15th birthday tomorrow.

Made a few more trivets, south western dream catcher and magic golf ball holder this week. Golf season is coming soon in my neck of the woods, courses are open but we had lot's of rain and more to come so not too much fun to play so far. That's fine with me more time with my scroll saw.

My next older brother has a Mustang GT 5.0. Paul tried to get me to buy a Camero SS so we could have us a drag race. Keep in mind he is 75 and I am 72. Can't you just see the look on a cops face if he caught us? Anyway it didn't happen I like my Buick Enclave just fine. I'm into making toy cars and trucks and such so I made a tow truck and a Mustang. The pair are for a grand nephew which is also Paul's great grandson. I think Paul will get a kick out of the Mustang on a hook.

My wife love horses so I'll be doing a lot of them while I'm doing my practicing and my mother in-law collects owl so i'll be doing some of them to

Hello friends you think the new saw I bought is a workshop portuges, I have to adjust it to see how it goes, until today I had not seen any of them

Just finished these 2 Cubs cooler boxes this morning.......cedar fence pickets for the box wood........plywood for the logos.......

Why ? I like to think Why Not

Not sure where I found the pattern for this one. Chrysanthemum trivet about 6 inches or 15cm diameter. 53 holes in all. Rob

This fretwork was found in First United Methodist Church in Murfreesboro, TN. From a distance, it looks like one piece, close up you can see how he put it together. I would love to see the saw he did this on. It could have been with a hand fretsaw, but I doubt it. I'm thinking early pedal powered model.

i love to scroll and here's proof in the pudding.Painting is not my expertise .But I'm working on it.I dust the projects a few time and then lay on a wet coat to keep the gloss going just like car painting i did. It's been 3 days in a row of sweltering hot weather here.I do what i can and then take a break for an hour laying down with the fan on me.then up an at em to glitter done.Rattle cans spraying ,Rustoleum paintustoleum.

Bit of Vinyl on a Saturday why not so I stack cut 4 records I think that may be the limit in stacking as it was not too easy lol anyways came up this time with these owl clocks

Finished Gayles pattern in Scrollers Cafe 8 1/2" x 11" of a 69 Road Runner, some areas were tough to cut, but I survived . edward

Base is popular 3/4 " by 4 long ,has 1/8'' dowel in each end to allow it to turn, It can be almost straight or "Z" shape, or square, I was using glass votive thought I would try this to see if it would work. The top is reduced from the round vase about 2" tall and 1/2 through the middle. cut with #3 FD blade and the base and top are from pine 1/4" Thanks for looking aND COMMENTS welcome Jerry.

Very Good cut you got there.

I think I read in one of the other forum related to the upgrade. I think the answer was no. They cycle out by themselves. Found it: "I don't think you can delete them. I think they just cycle through now. So new notifications push off the old ones. When you click the Notification's button, you should see the newest ones at the top. Once you look, the pink button with the number should disappear. Let me know if that's not working for you."

I agree with Jay - a beauty for sure. Reminds me of the old foot treadle sewing machines with the ornate metal pieces on it. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice looking Trivet with good cutting and finishing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to try it sometime.

I did some with basswood and after they dried up the wood split, I used poplar now never a problem

Nice, what kind of blade did you use ?

Great, where did you find that picture of me. Roly

Very nice Al I like the touch of having it on tow I reckon he will see the funny side Thanks for sharing

Sharp work! Great finish.

This is what I devised to collect the sawdust under my Hegner. It doubles as a blade clamp catcher when I break a blade. I have a piece of hardware cloth in the bottom ahead of the bag to catch the clamp.

Really some nice work. If I had time I would build one for my son-in-law with a Seahawks logo on it.

Still experimenting. Wanted to try to create some contrast for the gold (brass), and didn't have any "liver of sulphur" to create the patina, so I torched the Kennedy to oxidize it and turn it dark. When I put the seal on it, I think it may turn to a shiny black. Anyway, not sure if I like it yet, but it is always fun to experiment.

Finally got my new Flatmaster Sander this week, and got it assembled today. I can see many uses for it, from cleaning up the back of my Intarsia before putting the backing on, to sanding a scrollsaw piece to clean it up. Found today that it does a good job of cleaning up rough sawn lumber too. May not be perfectly even for thickness, but for Intarsia, that won't be an issue, as I sand everything when shaping. Took me about 12 passes to clean up some cedar on one side, but it beats having to pass on this less expensive lumber. This is similar to the Sand-Flee, but since I could never get anyone to answer questions from the company that sells the Sand-Flee, I opted for the Canadian version. Comes without motor, but that was no issue, as Harbor Freight sells a decent motor. Overall, the cost was still less than the sand-Flee and since the sander uses Velcro backed paper, it does not get hot, therefore no buildup on the paper, which translates to longer lasting paper.

some pretty fancy cutting there Steve...cat looks alive. Nice frames also

Yea you have been Busy,They all are Fantastic cuts Love the Fallout 3.Supercool

Dan,WOW,Just WOW.

Thanks Marge .3 colors with spray cans is a bit tough but i tryed

They all look terrific Steve, pat yourself on the back. Marg

time honored tradition,Keep the beer cold!These will never go out of style,and the more you use it the better you will like it.simplicity away is your style,no wasted, moves cut,right down to the Lock,What lock,gotta have a lock to keep the neighbors from draining your stock on the patio,lol i'm going to offer you a 10 on these i'd like to go more but it sounds like a 12 to me.Please and thank you to keep your projects keep show and tell more fabulous projects for us to feast our eyeballs on.

The scrollsaw is the safest tool in the shop next to the broom! Anytime I have passed 2 beers; I neither drive nor use power tools! Been a personal rule for 50+ years now. Still a nice piece.

Great work on them Dan

Nice work Dan!

You do good work, Dan !

Glad to hear you pulled it out. Between the end of the month and weather threatening I'd say you darn good.

They look great, What did you use a s a liner?

Nice clocks

Very nice job

Marg have ALL the LED's gone out or just some of them? If all of them are out it is the driver board that takes the main and makes the voltage what the LED's can use. Almost always it is something simple like a blown transistor or capacitor, or even a fuse. If you have not checked yet, check the fuse. its the easiest thing to check, however it does not sound like it from your description. You might be able to order the driver board and replace it. DW

Great looking boxes Kevin. Well done. Hopefully he will feel guilty and give you some money. Marg

Fantastic! Good enough to be in the Russell Museum in Great Falls.

Hi Jim, Puzzle blades are extremely thin and are meant for using with 1/8" or 1/4" wood to make ultra tight turns with the narrowest gaps possible. You can use them for other intricate work also if you prefer. Compare the width of the Olsen Skip Tooth (page 2) size 3/0 blade which is the smallest they make, compared to the Flying Dutchman Superior Puzzle Blade. When cutting puzzles obviously the gap between pieces is very important. Whereas it's not as critical for every day intricate fretwork. If you enjoy cursing every time a blade snaps, you'll love puzzle blades. ;-) http://www2.woodcraft.com/PDF/Olson-scrollblade-chart.pdf http://www.scrollsawbladespatterns.com/puzzle_style.htm Iggy
