After the cabinet maker donated some huge beautiful panels to my cause, he had some wishes for small items. He just gave me the words - I created the following: Here they are:

It’s a Steve good pattern. Ipe, western red cedar and oak

Did this for a guy at work who moonlights as a tattoo artist. Since Old English seems to be a favorite in the tattoo community, I figured to give it a try. At 150 points, it is still a bit fragile. Made of cherry with dogwood base and finished with gloss lacquer. Sorry for the size of the photo, it had to cropped heavily.

Made this for a friend of ours, she is a nurse and loves to travel thus the heart, the heart cardiogram rythym leading into a plane. Ash reclaimed from flooring

This pattern was inspired by a photo from Jess R Lee.

I made this for my daughter-in-law to give to her mom.

The wife and I did this yesterday for her Mom - it's kinda half SS and half other:

Howdy All. There was some wonkiness on the forums today. There was some trouble with one of the databases. I think I have it sorted out, now. Sorry for the troubles. :/ While we're on the subject, I'll be updating SSV software sometime this week (I'm hoping Monday, but we'll see). So the site may be unavailable for a short time while the software updates. It shouldn't take long. It's a full version upgrade, so there's going to be some new features. I'll announce them as they roll out. My first priority is to make sure everything is working correctly. Thanks all for your patience!

Couple of days off, so into the shop I went, once the chores were done of course. Need Coffee by Ken Keyes on a old cutting board I found at work. Moments pattern by Kenny Hopkins on more reclaimed maple. SOA also by Kenny Hopkins 12 X 12, stack cut three 1/8th inch BB. Jeff

Here are a few intersecting word art cuttings. They are cut into 1/2" mahogany. and are 12.5" long 6" high

I am not making anything this year so I will post a project I did 3 years ago. The pattern is by Sue Mey I think. Marg

Job request came in from an artist needing an octopus.I noticed a piece of laminate coming off and tried to tell the artist the woods been wet before but a woman never stops talking so it didn't happen and the wood self-destructed with a jigsaw.I know the wrong forum.

A nurse at my mom's nursing home asked me about making something for her son's graduation. Had I not come across Scroll Saw Village awhile back I couldn't have made this for her. Thanks again Travis for the great tutorial. These things take me hours start to finish. I'd starve if I was trying to make a living.

Here is my contribution. Designed by Ken Keyes as a Mother's Day pattern but I think it will become my baby gift from now on. The second one was a free pattern from Sheila Landry I did last year for Jan, reclaimed maple of course. Jeff

Yesterday I used a piece again. Went with the idea of Octoolguy. Bent over a very small corner. Took the flat side of a pencil, held it firmly down on the crease and ran it across a couple of times. Because the paper & the liner were 2 different radiuses, they sheared apart. When the pencil was lifted, two things happened: 1. The sticky shelf liner paper popped back down flat & the paper stayed folded, providing a very nice handle. 2. It put a smile on my face to see how ridiculously easy that was. Again, the credit goes to Octoolguy. jerry

Three events in the books... Event #1 - Goal of selling 100 puzzles - Sold 97 Event #2 - Goal of selling 100 puzzles - Sold 96 Event #3 Today - Goal of selling 50 puzzles - Sold 49 Coming up a little short, but at least my goal/expectations are within reason. Today's event was unusual in that of the 49 sold only 4 of them were the kids puzzles which I sell for 1/2 the price of my main puzzles. So, dollar wise I did better than usual which was nice. Event #4 next Saturday, WoofStock dog festival. Goal of 50. Let's see how much I miss it by. :-) Then I have a week off before my weekly Farmers Market begins Memorial Day Weekend. Iggy

Your off to a good start. Looking forward to what's to come

Brad, I don't understand the above statement. JUST an old trucker. There are proud truckers in my family. While my daughter earns an unbelievable salary as the CFO for an oil company and her husband shuttles trailers at night for a large furniture maker. Strange combination? My son-in-law's contribution is as important to the family as my daughters. My favorite cousin trucked cattle his entire career until his retirement. He was a cowboy. Don't know how well I'd be eating were it not for the long haul cowboys. You are important to all of us.

My shop is shut down while transitioning to a new city (moving from the Dallas area to the Austin area, for work....anyone know a good neighborhood with good homes for crazy-low prices in the Round Rock/Leander/Cedar Park area?). Here's a couple I made for my wife a while back, long before I discovered SSV. Yeah, they should be on a backing and framed, but she likes them, so...

Looks to me like walnut.

Well, as I already posted my two items I made for my wife for Mother's Day and you opened this challenge up, I will start it off with my contribution to my wife on Mother's Day Dick heppnerguy

This is my attempt of the John 3:16 verse. Thanks Dick (Heppnerguy) for showing the one you did inspiring me to do it. I've had the pattern for a long time. It is 1/8" Baltic Birch, the backer is stained with General Gel stain color "Nutmeg". First time I have stained a backer and first time I have used a Gel stain and I am real pleased with how it turned out. I have had some real disasters with other things I have attempted to stain. The piece is 21" x 21". A free pattern from The Berry Basket.

This is my daughter's family name made to display on her home. Pattern, thanks to Roly aka Phantom Scroller.

This is a Steve Goods pattern I wanted to try. I used poplar and it's about 8 inches tall. It was a little tricky to do but I managed to finish it. I started out using a #5 polar but when I cut out the U and the V, I noticed that the underside was a little wider when I took the scrap piece out. I guess the blade was wandering a little underneath so I changed to a #7 polar and seem to cut a little better but it was a slow process. The block of wood was 1.5 x 1.5. Maybe I'lll try a #9

Dick ( @heppnerguy ) asked me to post a photo of my pocket angels that I give to people in need. The patterns are by Sue Mey and I think there are about 10 or 12 in the set, here is a photo of just 2 of them. Marg

Nicely done. This will most certainly be cherished for a long time to come Dick heppnerguy

Well i got the nerve up to try and make a website Did,t think it was going to be easy. Any way i would like some feed back on it if you think it is ok. I am still working on it so it is not done yet. johnstreasures.website Have a great day all

I'm getting the same gobblygook with Firefox

This is what I see. I am using the Edge browser.

Very nice work all around !

Great cuts. Roly

They are all excellent. You do some awesome work Monti. Marg

Thanks, Frank, I'm very afraid of a woman!

Those came out great Clayton.

Those look great thanks for sharing

Great cuts of good patterns. Roly

I can do it and have done it. Its all is about your skill of scrolling. The little tricks you teach yourself when learning to scroll such as let the blade cut and apply just enough force to cut. Look ahead of the pattern line anticipating the move and so on. I know the photos I am showing are not circles but the same idea is with patterns to get them right so they line up well. These are older photos and I have no way to blow them up but if you can enlarge you will see some pretty tight accuracy. This technique is very important when doing those fold out baskets or trivets as they were called. That is 10 maybe 12 circles next to each other constantly getting smaller. I always checked peoples work when I see those and that tells me what kind of scroller they are. Bad cuts jump up and out at you easily. That is where I learned to cut accurately because I made a ton of those trivets over the years when they were popular. have no web photos because that was before I even owned a computer. Have plenty of still photos.

Very nicely done Clayton. Thanks for sharing them with us. DW

Nice looking plaques Clayton!

You are right about it being a Sue Mey pattern and it is one of her free patterns, as well Dick heppnerguy

I agree with walnut. Bark on walnut opens many possibilities.

Wow. Love it. Great job on a great picture.

Oh wow, look at all those holes.................Excellent pattern and cutting Kris, well done. Marg

I knew before I opened your post, I was going to like it. You never cease to amaze me with what you come up with. Love this one also Dick heppnerguy

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing this with us DW

Great job on that. Looks like a lot of detail on that one.

That's a great pattern and a great looking project! Thanks for sharing it

Very nice pattern. You must be a very determined scroller. Has to take a lot of time to cut that beautiful piece.

Very well done, I like these kind of scenarios
