Based on Steve Good's blog this am. This is my take on the pattern

Here is one I just finished.

Really liked this pattern when I saw it, pattern by Gayle. 12X13 1/2 inches in three 1/8 BB ply. Frame is hemlock molding Jeff

Made another one of these today......layered for 3D look....comments please

Another piece for the lonely collection that hangs on the wall that no one sees!!!! Lew

I always wanted to try this. It’s from a pallet. It had poplar, oak and another wood I’m not sure what it is. It’s 30x24 and I used Walnut stain. I used my scroll saw to cut the pieces I needed. I like the way it looks. Thanks for looking.

Here's my attempt at another one of Alex Fox ornament. It's about 7 inches square. Made out of 1/4 inch B/B. There is a lot of cutting and blade changes on this one.

Paul stays quiet for a while and comes back with one like that class

Dude's about to fire off a zinger!! Love how this one captures the action!

I would Get by with a little help from my friends. Nice cutting Lew!

I would lend him my ears and sing him a song....and try not to sing out of tune!!! Thanks!!!!!

Hi Lew: What would you do, if he sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on him? Nicely done Fab4

Just wondering if anyone made this challenging project before. Looks like it would keep a person busy for sometime. If someone has, I would like to know where the mechanical parts might be found. I would also like to know how the animals are made to go up and down. I wish Cherrytree gave more detail. It is an expensive plan, and I would think more info would be provided to help a person make a decision about attempting it. Guess I will contact them if I get more serious about it, not like I don't already have enough project in backlog.....

Tomarrow is my first sale of the year. i don't useally do very good at the spring/ Summer sales but this one is only 2 miles from home and cost $45 which is about adverage around here All i am taking is puzzles and i only have to sell 4 to make table, sol it is worth the gamble will let you know later how I do. IKE

This is one of Frank's patterns and is in the pattern library. Thanks Frank! This was cut from an old plywood drawer bottom and framed with some pine scraps I had lying around. Thanks for looking, Rob

Thanks Jerry, I was thinking it would have to be a little music box one like one I used when I made a Winnie the Pooch music box for my grandson, but I do not know if they would be strong enough. Didn't someone on here build ..... just searched it, @EarltheScroller did and I think he must have use these plans as a guide... if you look at the base fretwork and the middle. He hasn't been here in a while (January). Any one know his status?

From the picture, it looks like the animals are scrolled. I looked on Amazon for a motor & found this, but there are others. To find others, Google buy 12v low speed motors. https://www.amazon.com/0-07A-3-5RPM-Torque-Electric-Motor/dp/B006W2HLSY jerry

Great job Rob glad you cut it nice to see a pattern come to life and great that you posted a picture as well, Glad you got round the toes area I did join it to try and make it a bit easier but looked weird so fragile it is

Great job of my favourite character

Great cut

Guess I should has stated in the original post, it is a $30. pattern! That is mainly why I would want to know more about requirements before ordering it. https://cherrytreetoys.com/carousel-plan/

That looks to a very interesting plan . Been wanting to do a Ferris Wheel and may have to add this to my list also.

Cherry Tree has the plans for it.

awesome job

very nice

Looking good, Dan !

Down right Fantastic job!!

It is exceptional!

Ok, lets see your wall of lonely fame,I'll bet it's loaded!

Looks great!!!!!!!!!!

Well it's all been said, but that is so good! Great cutting on an awesome pattern.

Looks so beautiful...to me.

Great job. And I have one of those walls also...

Tony, you work is always so unique and colorful. I always look forward to you posts to see what you have created. This one is certainly not a disappointment. Very well done.

"Comment" "comment", your welcome. Sorry, just being a wise __s. Had a glass, ,, , or two of that good Australian "Yellowtail" wine... Seriously, that is a great job, Dan.

Looks great thanks for sharing

Nice work thanks for sharing

Fantastic pattern and beautiful cutting! I had to look up Norman Rockwell prints to see if that is what Gayle patterned that from. I didn't find any like that from Rockwell. Just astounding work from design to finished project. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Really cool work Jeff!

Lovely work on a lovely pattern.

You did a great job of cutting on a great pattern. I like the frame too.

Very nice cutting whoever he is.

Hi Paul - It's never too late. Like I said - I'm keeping the OEM clamps - just in case. Seyco has a round knob, that replaces the wing shaped thumb screw for tightening blades. I found that, when I use my fingertips, on a round knob, I don't tighten things to tight. But - every now and then, with that finicky blade, I grab the thing and crank it down and there you go. Maybe it's just the farmer/cowboy coming out in me - we used to tighten things down with the biggest wrenches and channel locks we could find.

NIcely done Lew. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW

Looks like Joe from here !...Nice job !

Great work, very nice frame!

Tony, to late to worry about now, but could you put a different kind of screw in the bottom clamp that would not allow you to so easily over tighten it? Smaller knob or something. I have owned an Excalibur, and Seyco and never had a problem over tightening the clamps, but I have read of the problem several times.

The reason I'm trying he Pegas clamps is, that I'm one of the guys who constantly over tightens the bottom clamp. The bottom clamp that comes with the EX is a cast aluminum (someone said what the alloy was, but I forgot). After a while (about a year) of over tightening, the bottom clamp will spread and won't hold the blade correctly. The Pegas clamps are made of stronger alloy that should prevent the spreading, I've only been using them for around 3 months, so I won't know how well they hold up for a few more months. The other brag about the Pegas clamps is that they are lighter and will reduce vibration. My EX didn't have that much vibration in the first place, so I can't say if that's a fact or not. Hotshot actually found a vibration meter or app for his cell phone. He did a lot more stringent testing that the rest of us did. I think he posted a lot of results on this forum, but, ig he's monitoring, I'll let him speak to that. They are a simpler clamp. For example - that plastic adjustment screw on the EX top clamp, doesn't exist on the Pegas clamp. They are easy to swap out and easy to use as the EX clamps. You can top or bottom feed with them. Having said all of that - I'm keeping my set of EX clamps and I still have two or three additional OEM bottom clamps. If the Pegas don't handle my heavy handedness, I can switch back to OEM clamps with little problem. I understand that they really shine on the new Jet saw. Handibunny put them on her Jet and someone else bragged about them on the Jet, also. But they would have to speak to how well they work. Are they worth the $80 - $90 to upgrade? I would recommend that you get used to the EX before you spend any money on them. I think you'll find the Ex is a good saw to use with minimal vibration and the adjustable aggression is great. If you don't have any problems with the OEM clamps on the EX then save the money for a night out with the significant other.

Marge, you can click on the model of the equipment you have and download the manual. If it is not listed you can click in the high lighted text in the instructions and it will auto go to their email. You may have to scroll down a little to get to the Excaliburs but they are there. http://general.ca/manuals.html Oh, just noticed if you go to the review section on Excaliburs on this site there is a bottom to click to get the manual... Just click on it below! Travis is so nice!

I also put used blades in a large can.. Scrap metal prices are up right now in my area last I checked was about $175 a ton.. Not sure how many blades will equal a ton.. but I'm workin at it.. and figure by the time I get to that ton... those blades should be worth more than I paid for them
