Just took this off the saw a little while ago. Showing my wife some patterns and this is the only one she has ever requested I cut for her. I was glad she did because I love this pattern. It was difficult because the piece of wood I selected to cut it in was difficult. Not sure what it is, but not one of the easiest woods I have cut. But I made it. It is an Alex Fox pattern. Several on here have cut it. Great pattern as is all of his.

New clock I designed and cut.. cut from 1/8 BB ply and glued to 1/4 Walnut ply backer

I finished these this weekend. The patterns are by Sue Mey and found in SWWC Winter 2017 issue #69. I used Eastern White Cedar which I think is too soft. I cut them on the DeWalt 788 and used FD Polar #9 blades. The finish is spray Shellac. Comments welcome.

Finally got some days off, so into the shop I disappeared. The Fournier sign is for a lady from our Finance dept. who is retiring and her co-workers wanted something for a gift. This will go to their lake lot. The Soulmates sign I made as a surprise for Jan. Went to Sheila Landry's site for the Fournier sign and saw this pattern and had Keith change the wording. The Bless the Food sign is something the wife saw on Facebook, so of course I had to design and cut it. Both signs cut from reclaimed maple from furniture and planed to 3/8th inch. The Jon Snow picture found on Pinterest. Still have one more day off so will cut some Xmas ornaments, only a month behind where I usually am in the past years. Jeff

Duke has shown his fabulous version of the fairies, and here are my plain, unpainted, boring versions. There are 3 new patterns from Harvey, but these two were a big enough pain in the ass to cut, I may not even do the third one, it looks even more tedious. But they are beautiful. Harvey does nice work.

The other day I done the skeleton but every time I walked past him he looked unhappy so today I took him into surgery and operated on him he came through the surgery no problems and should be up on his new feet by the end weekend. Happy Days

I'm beginning to not like you too much Jim... LOL!

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

You can purchase patterns from www.WoodcraftByScott.com

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 is the picture of the dog I made for a friend moving to Washington state. The dog died 2 dsays before they were going to leave.I designed it useing steve goods printing program ( free on his website) and resized it to fit the dog. No I won't design for other people . any body can do it just try.If you can't find dthe fonzs you need try microsoft Words there is plenty there. > Uploaded Images

I think you ought to cut all three out and video them so we can see how a pro cuts them out Iggy.

That is a lovely pattern by @alexfox You did a fabulous cutting job Paul. Glad you persevered with the tough wood. Marg

My compliments to the surgeon, he did a terrific job. Marg

Love this very eye catching clock of yours !

Perfect job Paul ,take a break now.

Great job!

Very nice cut to a very nice pattern.

Great job on cutting to a great pattern.

Nice job on a difficult piece!

Nice looking clock thanks for sharing

See this pattern and had to give it a go thanks Timothy (worbler) for the pattern cut from 8mm ply and framed with a skip rescued frame

Great pattern and cutting!

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

Hello everyone. I'm new here but have been scrolling for quite a while. Thought I'd show a picture of a few things I've done. These are all out of exotic woods and scaled down to 1/2, 2/3 or 3/4 size.

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

Thanks Bob. Jeff

Beautiful work on all. Sure to be well received. Thanks for sharing.

Frank, get a can of glow-in-the-dark paint for him. I did this with his tiny brother and it came out real nice.

I like the way you updated his feet. I plan on making one also along with the other 100s of patterns!

Here are three more. I really like making these belt buckles. Need to source out better quality assemblies to put on them...

Does anyone happen to know what the Model I/H means?

I made this for Halloween since my wife loves the season.

Just finished this yesterday. A friend of mine wanted to know if I could do a Hockey plaque like the baseball one that Steve Good had on. I put in a pattern request and it got 30 reviews but no pattern. I was getting ready to delete the request when DonR made this pattern for me. He did a great job and my friend loved it. I want to give a special thanks to Don for taking the time to do this for me. I don't know what we would without these pattern makers that we have on here. Thanks to all of you that do the patterns for all of us that don't know how. It is really appreciated. Thanks again DonR

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

It has always made sense to put the blade in the top first. The blade can hang down from the bottom clamp without problem, it cannot, however, be longer going over the top clamp

Great job. One suggestion is to make sure you bring plenty of change. Most people stop at a cash machine and have $20 bills. That is great if all your items cost $20 but if all of your items are in what I call even dollars ($5, $10, $20, $25,....) bring at least a $100 in $5's and $50 in $10's. If you have items in $1's ($3, $6, $22,....) bring at least $25 in $1's. I typically bring a $200 to start with.

Made a few more, one rounded somewhat. These are fun!

Hawkey I wonder about the fan blowing across the saw. It would seem to me that you are distributing the saw dust all over the shop that way, unless the other larger fan really has some massive flow. Has anyone considered connecting a 4" duct to one of these fans? It would be a quiet extractor assuming the fan wouldn't overhead from the restriction of flow. A good way to check that out is to have a spot light in the area with the rest of the lights off and you will see very quickly what is suspended in the air. We do our annual club show in a massive barn. When the sun comes through the window you get a really eye opening idea of how much fine dust we really do generate with our saws. Oldhudson is the duct on the side of the saw connected to a central dust collector? I was always happy with just a half mask (not paper) until I decided to do the extraction with the HEPA Festool vacuum. I can't stand the smell when I cut baltic birch ply, it really bothers me. I suspect it is the adhesive. I will find out when I go into ornament mode if this system works.

Congrats on 2 new saws. And getting them both the same day. Certainly a great reason for a day of hooky from work.

Yeah, I was pretty sure they had the roller needle / sleeve bearings.. just like the DeWalts do.. I know my bearings when I see them.. worked in a bearing supply shop for 2 years as a teenager in high school.. LOL back then most wasn't made in china though..
