8 x 6 x 6 ¼ x 1 ¾

Cut from Honduran mahogany from salvaged bi fold door, framed with cherry from an entertainment unit, mounted on a drawer bottom

7 ¾" x 6 ¼" x 2"

The pattern is by Sue Mey and purchased from her website. I modified the pattern by eliminating the slots and tabs and gluing the base directly onto the bottom of the trivet. I used 1/2" Hard Maple approximately 8" square. The base is 1/4" Red Oak 1 1/4" high. I used FD UR #1 and #5 blades. The finish is one coat of sanding sealer and one coat of spray shellac. Comments welcome.

8x10 portrait cut onto ⅛" BB Ply inserted within a 11x14 frame. Stack cut a dozen.

Being a Canadian I had to cut this.

Cut and framed from oak reclaimed flooring, mounted on a black artist canvas

I just finished this for a friend. I'm not sure what kind of wood that is. The butterfly is mounted with a coiled piece of copper wire. This allows height and a bit of vibration. The overlay body is walnut and the antenna are 26 ga copper wire. Steve Good design, #Shadow Butterfly, my interpretation.

Thanks to bobscroll for this wonderful pattern I found this pattern in the pattern library. I reduced the pattern to fit an 8" square piece of 1/2" Butternut. It is approximately 7 1/2" in diameter. The blades were FD UR #1 and #5. The finish is one coat of sanding sealer, sanded, and two coats of spray polyurethane. Comments welcome.

Made this using my scroll saw. Basswood with walnut inlay. five inches tall. This will be given away, not sold.

Cut from acacia eng flooring sample, framed by old oak kitchen cabinets with Tuscan stain, mounted on an old Ikea pine shelf

Here's my cut of the sleeping tiger I think the picture was done by willustration. Cut by me / pattern by me.

Pretty sure the patterns are from Bobscroll

Got them painted today........the solar lights work well

I getting lot of orders for this camper welcome sign.They don't take to do,some of the make out cedar some out mapel.Also did a Corgi for someone

I have been busy with a lot of things this last year and most of my projects have been utilitarian rather than fun scroll saw projects. I was able to make this puzzle and I finished it up on Fri night. Sat. my family had booth at a flea market, trying to get rid of old stuff etc. and I had a small table with what scroll saw and other art I had to sell. Not the best venue for this type of item but this little puzzle sold first and without haggling, they just payed the asked for price. I expected to be talked down a bit. It was the only scroll work I sold but I was ok with that. I also sold one of my Colored Pencil paintings. between all of us we were about $200 over booth costs. And the weather was perfect, wish it was the same throughout the country.

Well it is finally coming to an end. Last year in October I bought a air Filtration system for the shop and than at Christmas I received a Dust collector from my wife as a Christmas present. After I started the collector up in my shop I realized it was way too load to remain in the shop. I have added an exterior storage closet for it, I had the redesign the majority of the upper wall space in the shop to accommodate the 4" pipes. I ended up stopping on getting it up and running sense the weather turned hotter sense all I had left was the run the electrical to the machine and that was running through the hot attic. With the weather turning very nice over the past 2 weekends I was finally able to finish hooking it up. I was also able the get a dust collection hood built for my flexible drum sander this weekend. This drum sander is the biggest tool in the shop creating all the saw dust. It was nice late yesterday doing some sanding and not getting covered with dust. I still have to tie my chop saw, spindle sander, stationary sander, drill press & both scrollsaws into it. Everything is will be controlled by blast gates at each tool. I even installed an extra blast gate for when I am using the planer or bandsaw

Hi, my name is Sandrine or Sandy (for my friends) and I'm happy to accept me for your site ; sorry my English is not perfect but I will try to make me understand. I I have been scrolling for about 2 years now and love it. Here are some of my creations that I particularly like. Thanks for giving me your impressions on my hobbie.

I finally got a decent picture of my dog to cut, he doesn't like his picture taking. LOL Cut by me / pattern by me

The prototype is now done. Sue Mey pattern that I enlarged by 25% and added the name. The embellishments added by my wife. I have 18 more taped and ready to go for Christmas dinner place setting. There are 6 different patterns in set.

C'est Magnifique!! Very talented work!

Beautiful work! You are very good for only two years of scrolling.

A great job on pattern and cutting For some reason I just could not " see" it on my phone, but on a big screen it jumped out. Very nice.

Very nice shop, looks like it's well set up, for me the wood planner is the biggest mess maker I take it out side most times. Must be nice to have a dust free shop, could never get it done.

Very nicely done. Jeff

Very good thought. I do stash some things in there already and I "think" that when there are puzzles on the stand, you can't see through, but I won't swear to that and I'll be sure to check this weekend at my upcoming event. I certainly don't want people seeing "junk" in there.

Really a nice setup. I am finally learning, way to late in my life, that the more dust collection you have the enjoyable it is working in the shop.

I wish you were closer too Rolf... I really, truly want to like this saw and would love to have someone familiar with them to actually be able to check it out. Irma was just a breezy and rainy event for us last night and this morning and now she is gone. Jose may stir up our surf in a few days but isn't expected to make landfall on the east coast. So, we'll just wait for the next storm, and the one after that, and the one after that... ;-)

All looks great but where's the car go.

That's a great shop IKE

Incredible!

Thought I would share some of my shop photos. As you can see in the photos I try to stay very organized in my shop. One of the photos show several of the Intarsia projects I'm working on. I use a "project board" for my intarsia projects so that i can move them around in the shop or even stack them up to make more room. You will notice in a couple of the photos where there is a wide section between the upper cabinet doors. This is a removable section of the Face frame to access the dust collection hard piping if need. Also works as a great place to hide things. The other thing i really like in the shop is the lumber storage rack with the peg board wall for holding all my recent projects. The scroll saw in the photos is my make-up Porter Cable that I'm using while the Dewalt is in the repair shop and while I'm waiting on my new Hawk. If you see anything you want to ask about let me know.

Welcome to the Village Eric! If your saw accepts plain end blades, they will fit. But, they are not the best blades. The most popular blades used by scrollers are Flying Dutchman, Olson and Pegas, not in any particular order. They are all available online, but you may be able to find Olson and Pegas blades at Woodworking stores if there is one near you.

Bingo. There is a club in Orange Co. Thanks for the link. Ray

A lot of cutting and very well done Aggie.

That's great. I watch it twice. First time I don't see too much because I'm concentrating on reading the titles. Second time I concentrate on the video since I know what you are explaining. Great video! Thanks.

Cool cutting thanks for sharing

Wow. That is sooo cool.

Hi Rolf, I've found the "sweet spot" speed that causes the least amount of vibration and the least amount of sideways movement/vibration in the blade but it's still bad enough to frustrate me and cause the piece I'm cutting to move/vibrate making following the line a bit difficult as it looks "blurry". I've tried really hard to adapt to it and try to get used to it, but I honestly shouldn't have to "settle" and accept these things.

Call in sick.

awesome job

That is a very interesting pattern, you did a great job on it, well done. Marg

I've been wanting to do one of his patterns since I started using my saw. I can't wait to order some more of his work. Very fun to cut. I used FD 2/0 spiral blades on 1/2 maple. BB backer. Spray poly finish.

Looks good. Everyone seem to be getting "illusion-ated"

After a few cups of coffee and some serious contemplation I came up with the "final solution" for my dust control problem. I designed a bracket on inkscape that would hold the vac hose under the saw table just a bit forward of the blade hole. It worked great. Collects 90% of the wood dust that falls through the table while cutting. [attachment=1]dustcoll2.jpg[/attachment] Blade alignment...I posed the question about the slight misalignment of the blade when viewing from the side at SSW&C. Evidently this is not a defect but inherent to the DW788 type 2. I was advised that when cutting tight corners on thicker woods just stop for a second before making your turn. In the event that the blade is over cutting this will compensate this. As a test for over cutting, I was told to draw a line on a thicker piece of wood from the edge of the wood towards the middle one inch long. Cut the line stopping at the one inch mark. Turn the wood over and measure the cut line. It should measure the same distance, one inch. I tried this and it was right on the money. If it's over cutting then that's a problem. Evidently there is no easy fix for that. The saw would have to go back for repair or replacement. [attachment=0]cut line.jpg[/attachment] Now...Other than mounting the light, I should be set to go. The true test of the saw will be in the cut. There will be a learning curve with the DW since it cuts more aggressively. I got plenty of ply to work with. Hopefully I'll have a cut for review in a couple of days...Barring any other issues.

I used to be a member of a large general woodworking club in Thousand Oaks, Ca. They used to have special interest groups (SIGS) including A scroll saw SiG. The SIGS kinda dissolved due to lack of interest. I haven't been active in the club for a couple of years due to lack of interest.
