Got an order and made some fun stuff too

Each year I donate a project to the local hospital's golf tournament. I saw this on Steve Good's site and said this is the one. I don't like making mini clocks because of the batteries. This one is 2 3/4" and uses AAA batteries. The upright is 3/4" Hard Maple and the base is 1/2" Poplar. I used FD UR #3 and #5 blades. The finish is two coats of spray Shellac. Comments welcome.

Mermaid On Water Pattern Can Be Purchased At www.WoodcraftByScott.com

Another variety, oak, 1 cm thick

Made this for a friend whose niece is getting martied.1/4 inch oak ply with luan backer stained.

This is the my first coin I've cut on the Hawk BM. The Pattern was purchased from Sue Mey. I was curious is the Hawk could do it, but it cuts this type of thing pretty well. The coin was a once U.S. bronze one dollar, that I flattened to .025" and is about 2" tall.

Hello! I am Josh and I am scrolling full time now, trying to make a spartan living from making old fashioned wooden toys and musical instruments from scrap wood and selling them at fairs and festivals. Ive been scrolling for fourteen years now but only last March, I was fired from my substitute teaching job here IN philadelphia (too much arguing with the principals) and decided to try to start my own small business. So, I put money from the unemployement compensation office towards a brand new dewalt 20" scrollsaw and a nice belt-sander. I used to have an old scrollsaw from the 1940's called "the Driver" but it broke a few years ago. Anyway, my philosophy right now is to make as many nice toys as possible, and then to sell them at prices which are dirt-cheap. this way, I can be reasonably assured that I will sell-out at a show, thus giving me a set, predictable, albeit low, salary. Since march, I have made: 36 parachute men, with real chutes that work($3) ; 25 magic wands that dont work but look good ($6) ; 52 toy jets (phantom F4's, F16's and Mirage 2000's,) at six bucks each; 32 bamboo cannons (I had to make the springs which make them shoot); bamboo flutes ($10); toy shields for snowball fights; some pretty magic amulets; pencil-helicopters ($5); some decorative pieces like bunnies and flowers; dollhouse bookshelves (full of tiny books), and right now I am working on toy banjos. The philadelphia folk festival is coming up, and I want to have 36 toy banjos all ready in the next three weeks. they are so much work, though. I often find that I am working twelve hours a day. fortunately I have no other social or business obligations, besides walking the dog. I just hope I can make a decent living doing this work. all I need is about 1300 a month, to cover all my expenses. I hope to begin some highly decorative christmas and hanukah ornaments this autumn, and with any luck, by the time the unemployement compensation ends, I will be taking in a good amount of money from those ornaments. besides this work, I enjoy hiking with the dog in the woods, cooking and baking , reading, mostly old horror stories, and music. I hope to learn a lot from this site, and be able to share my own small experience with all of you as well. cheers! the Scrollin'Fool! (Josh)

Through with the cutting. Ready for the finish.

I've had a couple of customers ask about a mermaid which wasn't available, so I asked Harvey to draw one up for me. I sent him a general design and had him work his magic and here is the result. I'll display it this Saturday for the first time.

Howdy All. I'll be heading out on vacation back to my home state of Montana. I won't be in the middle of the woods without internet like last month, but I'll be hit and miss throughout the week while I visit friends and family. So if I don't get back to you right away, you'll know why. Have a good week filled with sawdust!

Had a request if I could make this in memory of their dog. 1/2" sanded ply......FD SR#5 blade........comments as always...thank you.

Here are 3 items i just completed.

A super nice young couple moved in next to us. I gave them about four designs to choose from and this was the winner. Made of red oak with a walnut inlay.

Oh I love this pattern, you did an excellent job Terry, well done. Marg

Boy i never heard the truth spoken more clearly,Thanks Mr. Slasher!

This is hot!

Well done Aggie.

Well done Monti.

Nice pattern and cutting.

Sure is pretty. It would be pretty expensive to make a set of kitchen cabinets out of that.

Nice idea.

Looks good Gordie. Where have you been hiding?

Very nicely done. They will really like that. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW

Very well done Dave and quite a coincidence in both boxes.

thanks everybody! yeah, Meflick, I understand what youre saying, and its what a number of other people have told me so far. the thing is, I like that feeling I get when some kid sees the bargain. as long as I can make a decent living, I'd like to make as many people as happy as possible. I'm just weird that way. call it socialism. Avanti Popolo!

Hey Dave, where's my "Wonder Woman" box? I'm with Paul - I want to be like you (and several others on here) when I grow up This is just stunning work and you are right - amazing that two great minds think so much alike and make similar boxes. Maybe one day you can do some "help" videos on how you do your work. I am always in awe. Inlay is on the list to "try" one day but I think it will be a little while yet. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work on both the pattern and the cutting. Thanks for sharing both.

I did not replace bearings in this saw.Just repacked them Because they were packed with grease when the saw was put together .Dewalt has that problem.no grease when put together is why they need bearings after a year. I have been using Timken bearing Grease all my life I still own 2 trailers and that is what I use for them.I am sure it will work on any scroll saw made.

Thanks guys. That was probably the most beautiful, but also the most expensive piece of wood I ever bought. A tiny plank 3 inches wide, 1/2 thick and maybe 2 feet long for 25 buckaroos at woodcraft.
