When i started building my model boats as a side business I figured I needed a logo. I did a lot of thinking and brainstorming and it always came back to a pattern I saw here on Scroll saw Village that I really liked. It was one by bobscroll of a dragon head. The boats are made of carbon fiber, and in the mythological world dragon skin or dragon scales are the strongest stuff around sooo.... I contacted him and asked if I could use his dragon head or a variation of it as part of my logo. He had no problem with it so I proceeded with designing it. Here is what we came up with. It looks pretty good. I just wanted to give him a shoutout and say thanks.

I did it again another horse. lol

I just put this together this morning, not much scrolling except for the "MOM" on the back........all cedar.....leopold bench plan modified........

Another trivet about six inches across by one inch thick reclaimed rimu. Rob

Here are a couple of cuttings that are going over to the local Animal shelter for donations.

Ugh, my ShopVac died a couple of days ago... as in burning smell, smoke in the air... I use it in conjunction with a Dust Deputy and it works GREAT. I didn't realize how much dust it was truly sucking up until I don't have it. Now I leave my cutting area and I'm covered head to toe with fine dust. Fortunately it was a heavy duty one with a good warranty and I emailed them yesterday. They replied today to let me know they're shipping me a replacement motor. Very cool. They didn't even ask for a receipt. Thank goodness since I didn't have it. I just bought it back in October. I have it hooked up to my foot pedal so that it comes on and off with my saw. I had wondered if that would be stressful on the motor and I guess the answer is yes. But, oh well, it works great and it'll be worth the money if I have to replace the vac every so often. Just another cost of doing business.

I have done a lot of stuff over the years, some was good, so not sot so good, but here is a sample of my past work. I do no remember where most of the patterns came from, but the portrait is my wife's son. It was cut after his death. The Bucky memorial is based off of a pattern I found in the pattern library, made by Christina Scherl, and was made for a friend of a friend who's dog passed away. I am open to any and all comments, good and bad. Thanks for looking.

And since when has government ever done their job.

Beautiful puppy. I'm not real good at names. I've had a lot of dogs called different names, Heyyou, Get, Damnit, SOB, Steppedinitagain...... Just kidding. I'm a dog lover and my wife says I get along with dog, much better than I do people... probably true.

As some Hegner scroll saw owners are able to admit Hegner saws do have a few features that could be improved. I have found on some projects the table size would be more functional if it was larger especially wider. For me I have had some occasions where part of my project piece would drop off the side of the table and catch on the side preventing turning the piece until I lifted it up. I have been going to make an auxiliary table for quite some time but just never got around to it. Well I finally made one. I wanted one that was not very thick to allow for the reverse tooth blades to still work properly. I wanted a nice smooth surface to allow the work piece to slide easily. I also wanted it securely fastened but also convenient to remove. Well I started with a 1/8" piece of hardboard commonly referred to as Masonite . I then attached with contact cement a piece of laminate. The finished size is 16" X 171/4". I drilled and tapped two 1/4-20 attachment holes in my table. The auxiliary table is secured in place by two 1/4-20 flat head machine screws. As it turns out one of the hex wrenches that came with my saw is the exact right size for removing or installing the flat head machine screws.

Has anyone ever tackled the Tower of Time Clock: It looks like an interesting journey on the saw.

My wife is gone to a quilting "retreat" this weekend. Not sure what you do at a quilting retreat, but she goes to it each year and I notice she slipped in a few bottles of Mike's Lemonade along with the sewing machine. It is fine by me, Abbey (our standard poodle) and I are having our own little "Scrolling Retreat" right here in my shop. This mornings exercise was a quick "Fidget Spinner". Steve Good pattern. Abbey doesn't have hers done yet, she keeps going outside and goofing off. Right now she is passed out on the shop floor! Anyway this is my first retreat project complete.

Hello scrollers. I know this isn't scroll saw related but this is my new scroll saw buddy. And looking for a name she is a female. Thank you.

I just looked at Rob's latest trivet where he used reclaimed rimu. I'm not exactly interested in recycling packing pallets but where are some other sources of reclaimed wood?

What is the breed? Is it a Husky? What a beautiful dog. Pets are such wonderful companions especially dogs. We rescued a small mix breed last year from a hell hole. His mannerisms dictated his name which ended up being Ziggy. He looks like an EWOK.

Maybe I should, but I'm not sure I want to be cured! Rob

Nice job

I personally would not make one of these. What will happen if a kid still chokes on a piece even though it fit into the device? Seems to me that you are doing the governments job and telling them it is not a choking hazard, seems it would open you up for liability that would not have been there if you just said nothing and let common sense rule. not that its a bad idea, just being devils advocate.

She has to be Shelia!

Beautiful "Beatie"

Very nicely done, good sharp corners on it. Thanks for showing it to us. jim penquin

Nice work you did there Rob

Another very nice one.

Yep, 6 gallon Shop-Vac, this one. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Shop-Vac-6-Gallon-3-Peak-HP-Shop-Vacuum/50159051 I had the manual and pulled up the website, filled out the online form and they emailed me the next day letting me know they'd send me a new motor. I was very pleased. Good service.

Rob, Bob and I go to monthly meetings for Trivaholics......Love me some Trivets....Nice work !.......Drop by a meeting near you soon

What a beautiful pup! A name ..... Since we do know the sex of the pup if it is Female - Andromeda which is a good strong name for a strong breed like that pup. DW

Ewww what a lovely companion to have me I would call her what she is but with a twist Tehya it is native american for precious, Just my thoughts on it that`s all

Frank i can count on you for great compliments ,Thank you sir!

Why thank you Mr.Kindling cutter,Yeah makes them smile when seeing it on their desk .!

Looks like you and ScrollingSteve could be having trivet wars soon.Just about every pattern Bobscroll put out that were a trivet, Scrolling Steve would knock out post haste.He did so many that when Bob patterned another one Scrolling Steve would exclaim Bob ,Bob,Bob .It was a daily laugh when he'd do that to my ears!

Rob with those designs they could be either trivets or wall decorations both are possible. Great job on this one too. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW

Beautiful work Rob!

been busy person with hot saw mice job on all of them

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.

Try Weldbond glue it will stick to painted surfaces. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-4-oz-Weld-Bond-Glue-by-Weldbond-8-50160-/370798072574?hash=item56554992fe:g:gAUAAOSw7aBVJsW6

Some projects I use Acrylic paint and brush it on, comes in many colors and no problem when glued. I also use felt backer when framing, and I use 3M spray adhesive. edward

Very nice Tony. The wife and I are big supporters of various dog rescues, etc. If you'd like the pattern for this puzzle, let me know and I'll email it to you. It's one of my top sellers.

I think if this happen to me.. I be more worried about damage to my scroll saw motor or circuit board than the vac..If you're plugging this into the same circuit.. I think if I would going to do something like this.. I'd buy a separate foot switch for the vac. and plug it into a separate outlet / circuit. this I would mount a piece of flat metal to each of the peddles of the foot switch.. this way you only stepping on one foot switch but actually turning on two with them linked together.. A foot switch is cheaper than a vac every few months.. JMO Kevin

No matter what amount you do Kevin they look great as always keep on scrolling

They look great Kevin. Just wondering why the Scottish and the Irish symbols on Janet. Marg

Most towns of any size have companies that sell reclaimed wood, like bard wood. I have found it to be costly. I buy my lumber from a place that sells lumber mostly to cabinet makers. Most everything is around $2 a board foot plus or minus. I have to buy at least $200 worth or they won't sell to you. I do have to plane it but it's better than going to a big box store. Do a Google search.

A couple things that are pretty neat about how Travis runs this place are: being responsive to the need to upgrade the forum and getting it done when it needs to be done. being sensitive to the needs of of SSV followers - keeping all of us in the loop from the get-go by advertising the changes, letting us know when they are going to occur, carrying them out in a timely manner, maintaining the look and feel of what we've been used to on SSV (as much as possible), seeking feedback on issues, responding to those issues quickly and ultimately shepherding the entire transition through in a way that made it as quick and pain-free as it might possibly be. He makes it look easy!! ...... (which I am sure it is not!!) .... Pretty hard to ask for anything else!!. Thanks!! Jay

I have a local furniture maker that puts all his off-cuts in a bin outside for people to pic. Over the past year I've collected more wood for me to last at least 10 years.

My nephew has brought me quit a bit of wood over the years, in the form of old headboards from beds, shelving, some cabinets. all things he has found very cheap or free at yard sales. I still have some beautiful mahogany from one bookshelf he brought to me. Also check Habitat for Humanity stores. Not free wood but very cheap.

I like it also. There are some growing pains and a learning curve but all well worth it in the end. I am sure when I say a huge thanks to Travis is in order that I do not stand alone.

You can always check out Craigslist. I have found a few listings where they were tearing down and old house or barn. We also have a place called Construction Junction that recycles all sorts of building materials.

Yea I agree Kevin,Since I've been here The Village has gone thru a few changes,and it's always been for the best,As we grwo in size The Village has to Grow to keep up.It's a Good Thing.I Like The New Village.

Dave, good decision to be patient. I am also not sure when the Hawks went to the current style with top and bottom feed capability. And much better clamps. I bought my Hawk G4 26 in 2005 and I think it was a new design then. It is a bullet proof saw.

I just got my email reminder tonight and took care of it. Something I believe well worth the money paid.

I made this tray to go under my saw it collects all the sawdust & stops it falling into my lap.You could cut a hole in a corner to sweep the dust down but I found I can sweep it out using a small dust pan & brush. Cheers Peter
