Just finished this one last weekend.

New movie coming soon to a theater near you ......meet the cast

Cut this a few weeks ago finally got aground to finishing it, I cut another like this months ago but the twister inside was much much wider, this one is tight. Ran out of daylight so the pic is not great

The Bully is done. I spent a little over a year cutting this. Not because of the number of cuts, 1048, but because I was out of commission last year after being run down while riding my bicycle home from work. I am back to riding again it is how I get around for the last 20 years. When I was able to work at the scroll saw once again the pattern was intimidating. I eventually said I need to finish this thing! The wood is 14x11 red oak ply and the frame is made from purpleheart. The frame is finished with General Finishes Gel Satin. The pattern is Mike Williams available @ mikesscrollsawpatterns.com

I've had a couple of people ask questions about my setup at events and how I do certain things. I've also had someone suggest I write a "guide"... so... two days ago I started typing. Attached is what I have so far. My wife hasn't even proofread it yet to correct all of my horrible grammatical errors, so keep that in mind and suffer through my massacre of the english language. :-) I'd appreciate your thoughts and feedback and especially any suggestions. Or, you can tell me it's the worst thing you've ever read and figure nobody would be interested. I can handle it. It's still a work in progress. I hope that I properly explain the reason and the content in my introduction. This isn't about scrolling, it's about deciding if you want to start selling whatever product it is that you make. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Iggy Woodcraft By Scott eBook.pdf

Had some scraps left from a pine table top project I done the other day I remembered I still had some more puzzle patterns from Scott @ woodcraftbyscott.com, Thansk for the tip on the storage bags as well.

Spend some time in the shop lately. The Harley was fun to cut specially the front wheel (NOT) I used Oak Butterfly is western red cedar

Ray, maybe you should go look into it for all of us guys, try it out and let us know how it feels/works? Len

Johnson's Paste Wax--in the yellow can.

I just got notification in the mail yesterday that my 30" excelsior has been shipped from King's headquarters in Montreal on Sept 14th so the local regional sales rep should be bringing it to me anytime... I struck a deal to review the saw in a blog in exchange for a deep discount. My goal this weekend is to carve out some space in my garage for it...

I recently signed up to be a vendor at a local RibFest event and I had Harvey draw me up 4 custom patterns specifically for it, and while I was at it, I had him make this one for me... I have a feeling it will be popular. :-)

This was started by someone else who passed away. I was asked to finish it. It was about 50% started. John Old Dust

Finished the first burn of my neighbours dog. Don't like the wood so will burn another. Thanks grampa (Paul)

My mother's 100th birthday in next week. I'm traveling via Amtrak to see her and made this plaque. It's a Steve Good pattern. The cutting is 1/4" BB pw. The frame is maple, from salvaged basketball court flooring. The backer was the reverse side of a backer from a purchased picture frame. Two layers of hand cut boarders to give it some depth. Rattle can painted and then lacquered. Thanks for looking.

In a recent magazine, Judy Peterson had some great Giraffe Puzzles and I wanted to do something with all three of the puzzles in it. I decided to make a scene with the three Giraffes looking like a family on the plains. I created this 10 x 12 scene. The Giraffes were cut from quarter sawn Sycamore. The tree is walnut and poplar. The background is poplar on the bottom, ash above it and blue pine for the sky. The three pieces of the background were all shimmed so that the bottom is higher than the middle and the top farther back in order to try to create some depth to it. The outside frame is red oak. The finish is white shellac as I did not want to alter the colors of the wood.

Anybody heard of "Brazilian waxing"? I hear all the women talking about it. I wonder how it works. Ray

Great job on yours, it's on my to do list for sure

Nice! They look great

I use furniture sliders for this type of stuff. They are cheap, effective and sold just about everywhere.

Great project, I am with Paul and Melanie, not a snake fan but really like this Frank. Jeff

I have lockable casters under all three legs of my 788. It is necessary since I do 99% of my cutting outside. My old Delta and even the Hitachi, I could comfortably carry into position, but the DeWalt is heavier (and I am older).

Glad that you have recovered and produced a work of art. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW

Glad your Recovered And WOWZA!! That is 1 Awesome piece of art.Beautiful work.

So that's what it looks like Very Cool.Great Job.

You have been busy.Love the stacked animals.

spectacular

A great read Iggy. I don't sell but I enjoyed the booklet, especially the story and kid's pictures.

AWESOME cutting Jim. Well done.

Congratulations!! First, I am glad you recovered from you accident Second that is a beautiful piece of scroll work. I love Mike Williams patterns. Done a few, have more I need to do. You did an exceptional job on your picture. Now I have another pattern to purchase... That is a great piece. Okay, I just ordered it. Have no idea when I will get to do it. Two others happen to find their way into my cart also.... Hello, my name is Scrappile and I am a patternholic!!!

Ray I am different than you. I made up some practice patterns and got so bored cutting them that I just started cutting easy patterns. It just works better for me.

I also have a torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder, have had it for 11 years, and no range of motion, had a couple shots in the sholder, pain is bareable. not really looking forward to surgery. edward

Very nicely done. I like the dragon the best. Thanks for sharing them with us. DW

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

That turned out great !

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

Lords prayer and christmas stuff for me.Roly

Paul The one I do I got from Charles Dearing. Over 400 internal cuts. I resized it to approx. 32 wide by 8 1/2 high inside a frame behind glass.Takes a while to cut it anfd you have to use spiral blades which is typical of Dearings patterns.

Ray the best way to learn is to make something for someone that you know they will like. If you make one and it's a mes throw it away and make another. Do it till you learn how, then go to something else.

I am working on a Roaring Lion segmentation from SSWW&C, which will be a Christmas present for my oldest Grandson.

I have 2 bed side tables to finish for a customer. Also want to get started on The Crown of Thorns and Last Supper scrolling work. I also need to clean my shop up so that should keep me pretty busy.

I'm working on Alex Fox's "Sea Turtle" per my wife's request and trying to get the Hamsa Box for the Brazilian pole dancer finished up. Lots of sanding and it is Cocobolo and me and Cocobolo do not do well together. Especially the sanding dust. But I love the look of it.
