I have been cutting a fair amount of cars lately and decided I needed to elevate my game and move to planes. Fan of WWII aircraft so tried my hand on a PBY and a P-40. Fun to cut.

The party lady called and placed 3 orders. I glued and finish nailed them on a base and painted white

I made this 8'x6"x2" cedar box for a donation item for a Local university's Christmas event for children. The theme this year is "The Grinch" . Woods used are: bubinga, poplar, bois d'arc, basswood, and cedar. Image is inlaid into the hinged lid using the "double bevel inlay " method with a scroll saw.

Back home again after 3 weeks of house hunting up north.....Feels good to be back home and in the shop again!!!

I have a lot of ideas for such type of patterns, here is my next one - Bee on honeycombs Painted MDF 3mm (about 1/8 inch), 7,5 x 7,5 inches, blades: NIQUA Top Cut #1 Pattern available at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexFoxUA

Thanks Marg. Your system is terrific. I grabbed some extra straws the other evening when I ate at Wendy's. The straws work perfect!

We have another member that's heavy into indians too .I like your torching on the sides .Well done obsessed scroller!

Nice work Kevin..dont you just love those file error messages.

Looks great thanks for sharing

That us a great pattern, you did a fine job. I have it started, the face done, but I have to give up the detail stuff for a while. I have cataracts and can't see the fine stuff real well anymore. Hoping to get it fix pretty soon.

Beautiful job on both

beautiful work

May the sawdust be with you Jeff.

The Yoda cutting is Fantastic,as is the Bear and Cub.

Great job Kevin Thanks for posting a picture and the mention I like to see the patterns cut and do save a copy of every one that gets posted or I cut myself you did your usual great job on it and the other cut too. Thanks again I cannot remember doing that one so not 100% if it is actually my pattern or I could be having a senior moment of course and it is mine

Cut it you did Jeff Picture you posted Thanks Jeff nice to see patterns come to life you done a great job

Good scrolling you did... Great work Jeff. Marg

I need to remember this.. but I'm sure i'll forget this one by the time I need to replace mine, LOL ... sure wish I had a memory like my wife does when she remembers how I made her mad 25 years ago at a certain time and day .. I have a hard time remembering where I put that 10mm socket like 10-15 seconds after I just had it in my hand..

Sensational idea!

Don't laugh but I have drinking straws in the tubes with the good blades. I make sure the straw is the right size and then I cover the bottom with making tape or painters tape, so that the blade will not fall out the bottom and if I need to keep it I pop in the straw until the next time I need that size blade. Marg

Typically when a blade breaks, it won't damage the project. It will make you jump, and make a lot of noise, but if you can keep the project on the table it should be ok. Don't be afraid of breaking the blade. as you practice you should break fewer and fewer. Blades wear out and break a lot. I buy blades by the gross (144 blades) multiple times a year. You mentioned the biggest lesson about a piece like you are doing. Start with the details, then work your way out. Think about how to keep the piece as solid as possible for as long as possible. another thing to remember is that the pattern line is a guideline. once you take the pattern off, no one will know how close or far you were from the line. Look at the back of the piece, I bet you will be able to see the wolves.

Edward, welcome to the forum. So glad you joined. Ive been to Springfield, Mo. My Father-in -law was from near there. Now, my advice would be to set this picture aside for a little while, get some practice with different techniques, different blades and then go back. Start at the beginning and work your way forward. That way you won't get discouraged and give up. That is a pretty difficult picture for a first attempt.
