Here is the latest one for me, another Viking. Alex Fox pattern, 1/8th BB plywood 10 1/2 x 14 inches. Jeff

Saw this on Alex Fox's site and just had to cut it. Stack cut three on 1/8th inch BB plywood 12 x 13 inches. Oiled one and Jan painted one. Also liked the Elk pattern, so cut it as well. 12 x 15 inches 1/8th BB plywood. Jeff

Hi ya! Since i got my health back i'm into too many things that need my long lost attention.I'm still wasting time at one last doctor,he butchered me bad today i was fine till i seen him.I'm going to file a complaint as my general doctor said i should.Any way I'm doing projects and am air headed to take pictures and nice ones too.My thinking is way ahead of my doing ,but i'll get it together soon .I'm a new man now and it will take some adjusting too.A nice job came in and i got the deposit and as i finish each project more are waiting,It's the lady who got the beautiful tree of life that's loading me up with scrolling jobs.Anyway here's one that didn't get away.10.5"tall letters on blue painters tape saying "What's your Utopia ?12' long

The pattern is by Sheila Landry and purchased from her website. I used 1/2" Aspen approximately 8" x 8" and FD UR #1 blades. This one took hours to cut. I didn't count the frets, but it mush be over 200. Comments welcome.

I tried the blue painters tape on the wood and glue the pattern to the tape today and I must say I have never had a pattern come off so easy in my life. No more scraping patterns with my pocket knife no more getting hot fingers while trying to loosen the pattern with a hair dryer. I should have found this forum years ago.

Just joined here. I'm from Iowa and have been using a scrollsaw for the past 20 years. I have a 26 inch RBI Hawk that I bought in 1996 new. Never had any trouble with it and have used it a lot. The pictures are some of the signs I have been making the last few years.

Sitting Mermaid finished today... along with the Swimming Mermaid I showed a few days ago. Both new designs by Harvey Byler. Patterns available as all are of his patterns.

Here's a couple pieces from last week. The sign is 12"×24" made from 1/2" plywood. The other is is a cat bird house it was a fun little project to do it's about 12"L×13"H.

They are made from 1/2 inch hobby plywood from Menards. That's the only place I can find it. My wife and I have ridden Harley's for the last 16 years. 2 years ago we bought a Harley trike (bad knees) hence the name oldmansbike.

Ordered both patterns last night, have cut sitting mermaid and have the swimming one laid out to cut next. Will post once Jan has them painted. Jeff

What do you call a dozen mermaids? A herd? My work from yesterday and today now drying... along with the corresponding bases for those that have bases.

Great cutting you got there.

Jeff,What can I say,OH MY STARS!!! That is SOOO COOLLL.Awesome job.

Superb cutting Jeff you have made the quality of an Alex Fox pattern come to life love it

Fantastic cutting. You certainly bring Alex's patterns to life. Well done. Marg

You can do it Jeff. It is not harder.... one hole at a time.

Incredible cutting skills!

You don't see a good scroll saw for sale around here very often. If your close to Franklin, Tn. this might be a good deal for you. https://nashville.craigslist.org/tls/d/excalibur-16-scroll-saw-used/6255288660.html

Again some very fine cutting and painting. Really like the Elk

Some very fine cutting Jeff.

Wow, this is amazing. I am usually not a fan of fretwork so much! But this is .... wow

Nice cutting thanks for sharing

That is awesome! Gotta put that on the to do list. (Even though I'm a Packer fan. Big smile)

Very nicely done Jeff. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW

Very nicely done. I really like the colored version of the baby dragon. Thanks for sharing these with us. DW

Oh, my! You have set the bar very high!! Great job. I, as a fan of Vikings, am really liking that!

Yep, I did get the viking pattern. But I am working on the giraffe right now. Darn you beating me to the Viking! I can't wait to see it. I have a little story to go with the Giraffe, but I will save it for when I post my finished product.

Maybe the Viking Paul? Will be posting my cut shortly. Jeff

Both are nicely done.

Nice work thanks for sharing

Holy Cow!! I got that baby dragon pattern the other day from ALex as his freebee for buying X many patterns. I did not pay much attention to it, but now, I want to cut it. Awesome job and wow and wow on the painted one! That elk is pretty darn cool also. I am working on an Alex pattern as one of my current projects.

Will not to start any big argument here, like Ford versa Chevy,,, but, you buy your 4 DeWalts (Chevy) and I will keep my Hegner (Ford) and my Ford ah, sorry Hegner will be running long after you wear out all 4 of your DeWalts...... and have to buy 4 more.... Come on,,, just having fun.

Nice looking project from a nice pattern, well done. Jeff

Welcome! Glad to see a new face now and again. Everyone gets tired of reading stuff from Iggy. Depending on how much you scroll and the size of your patterns, clear shelf liner paper is just as good as blue painters tape and is a lot cheaper. I use massive amounts of it. I used to order it from Amazon but they stopped carrying the 12" wide so I started ordering from Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Clear-Laminate-Peel-and-Stick-Shelf-Liner/16224481

I forgot to answer your question... mineral oil does not make them darker, but it does bring out the grain and natural color in the poplar. Here are ones I just cut and have drying... Every time I go to Lowes/Home Depot for wood I look for varying light and dark pieces. Some animals look better in a darker tone.

A school of mermaids. Great work for one day. Your scroll saw issues fixed no need to answer just checked your update. I don't think I will buy a hawk looks like they have a quality control issue. Good luck on resolving your issues. I

That is nice and different too!
