    The Boeing 314 is the 3rd in my cuttings of vintage luxury airliners and this airplane has the most interesting story. PanAm was operating the luxury B314 flying boat Clipper Ships across the long legs of Pacific prior to WWII. The story of the Pacific Clipper on December 7th 1941 is one of courage, ingenuity and perseverance. I have included a PDF file of that amazing adventure along with a route map and pictures of the aircraft. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed cutting the B-314 plaque. A movie is in preproduction called the Escape of the Pacific Clipper. BTW, wife says I need to give the planes a rest for a while. Back to boxes and fret work. The Round The World Saga of the.pdf

    Three for Jan one for me

    Rob and 2 others reacted to GPscroller for a topic

    A few quick ones. The cross and quilting ones are Sue Mey patterns modified. They are supposed to be free standing but made them hangers instead and reduced the cross 25%. The Better Together and Scrollsaw workshop are Steve Good patterns also modified. The cross, quilting one and Scrollsaw workshop are cut in more reclaimed wood. The Better Together is bolivian mahogany with 1/8 BB ply backer. Jeff

    I grew up around tools, my dad was a machinist. I did some hand fretwork as a kid. but my first use of a scroll saw was making some gingerbread for the gable in the shed that I built. I used an inherited Craftsman saw, and it made me realize how much fun scrolling is and it also the Saw taught me that If I wanted to continue the hobby it was not going to be with this saw. It took minutes to go from one hole to the next and only seconds to do the cut. My wife then bought me a Delta SS350 significantly better saw. and I did the small eagle. Lessons learned, don't use crap wood. I then started stack cutting small ornaments. like the one attached.(4") A year after the Delta I bought a Hawk G4 26. I now do a fair amount of work with SSWWC magazine as a test cutter and other challenging projects. I did a presentation at one of the Fox Chapel open house events on "Advanced Scrolling" . My first comment was that there is no such thing. Once you master the basics. Jerry1939 really said it perfectly "To you nice people that hesitate to start what looks like a challenging/difficult piece, just remember it is always 1 hole & cut at a time. It doesn't make any difference if it takes 7 months (as this did), or you start 1 or more projects per day. The amount of sawdust is the same either way." As soon as you tell your self " Oh I can't do that". In reality you don't know that until you try. It is only wood.

    I've been quite busy and haven't posted much on here.. or actually haven't really been on here much other than a couple quick glances every now and then.. Chevy Nova and the 57 Chevy Wagon are a couple custom orders from last week.. rest is stuff I had but sold last week.. Hoping everyone is enjoying their summer and getting lots of saw time in.. Thanks in advance for your likes and comments.... as this week is already starting out busy so I'm probably not going to get much time to get on here..

    Hi, I'm recently retired from a mechanical engineering career and have had a lifetime passion for making things, usually with metals. Now I prefer to use wood as it's a whole lot cleaner, it smells nicer and I find the processes involved are far more relaxing. The mechanical interest hasn't left me all together, indeed I bought a scroll saw to make wooden gears for drawing machines, but I'm keen to explore all aspects of the hobby.

    Hello Nathan! Welcome to the forum. It's good to see another sawyer amongst us. I'd agree with what has already been said, except the fact that imo, I'd shy away from plywood, unless it's baltic birch ply. Main reason being all the glue is real hard on blades of any size or type. My next suggestion with spiral blades is use your variable speed on the saw. Some think that a spiral needs to cut as fast as the saw will run. Not true. In theory, speed creates heat. Heat takes the temper out of your blade, therefore shortening the life of the blade, and not allowing the blade to do its job. I run spirals in several different projects. I don't use anything but hardwood in my projects. The sizes I use range in sizes from #0/2 up to a #5. I don't use them often, but when I do, I run my saw around 1/2 or just a little over on the variable speed, and I set the tension fairly tight. I get better life out the blade, and it doesn't wander as bad. I also keep a large assortment of flat blades on inventory. From #0/2 on up. And different types. I agree with what Jay said about gettin' yourself a piece of wood and several sizes of flat blades and start cuttin' until you find the ones you prefer. The #5 blade is a monster blade. I'd get online & get a sample pack or two and try the different blades in those. For your inside cuts, you're going to want a #2 or #3 blade, depending on the thickness of your material. Personally, were it me, if you're going to use baltic birch, I'd shy away from the skip tooth blades because they will be more apt to give you tear out issues on the back of your project. I would go with a #2 or there abouts polar blade, and watch your speed, and listen to the blade. It'll tell ya when it needs tension or replaced. Maybe you can get JT to chime in and see what his thoughts are. My apologies for the length. Best of luck to ya, & Happy Trails.

    Chasing Planes Part 2

    Lucky2 reacted to munzieb for a topic

    I'm still on an airplane kick. I have always been interested in the Boeing -377 Stratocruiser. It's based on the B-29 bomber with an enlarged double deck fuselage capable of holding between 63 to 84 passengers depending on if the ship had births. It was one of the last radial reciprocating engine luxury airliners and only 55 were built. There was also an enlarged freight version called the Guppy and the Air force used it as the C-97. BOAC and AOA operated this aircraft and PAN AM named it a Clipper like its earlier long range aircraft, the B-314 China Clipper. The introduction of the jet engine British Comet and the Boeing 707 brought an end to the operation of the B-377 in 1963.

    Still Chasing planes. Found a line drawing of a Lockheed Constellation ( not a super) built a lot of bridges (3D paint). A beautiful Queen of the Sky. Looking at a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser for my next project. Missed the age of luxury flying. Too many trips on a 737 middle seat, row 24 and the vent and recliner were broke and #24 for departure.

Thanks again Wayne. All you pattern makers are so appreciated that you can't even imagine. Us less talented scrollers wouldn't know what to do with out you all. Thanks again to all of you. Ralph.

    Swat Box

    Lucky2 reacted to Jim Finn for a topic

    I made this as a special order: Cedar box measures 9"x 7" x 2.25". Inlay the name in the normal way but applied the logo on top of the box using a method I used to decorate boxes before I learned to do inlay. I printed this image onto tissue paper that I had attached to regular printer paper. Printed this on my inkjet printer. When the tissue, with the image on it, is laid on the box I wipe on thinned poly and most of the tissue paper "disappears" The tissue paper covers the whole lid, edge to edge. It is a fussy procedure and works better with smaller images. Easier to get wrinkles out of smaller pieces. Three coats of wipe on poly.

    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.

    Hope it's OK to post this here. This is one of my most prized possessions. It was made my uncle Charlie Knight Edmondson. I believe it is a Boy Scout. He was a paratrooper and was captured in France on June 6, 1944. He was executed the next day. Wish I could go back in time and watch him making it.

    When @neptunposted this pattern in February, I knew I had to cut it. Was not sure of the wood to use and then a couple of weeks ago I was in our local Winner's store. There was a serving tray in the clearance area that had been damaged and was 30% off. Solid teak and cost me $20. BINGO!!!!!!! 12 3/4 X 16 inches. Not sure if a frame is needed or not, still undecided, what does everyone here think? Thanks for another great pattern Sasho. Jeff

    I made this a couple of years ago from a painting located in The Philbrook Museum of Art. It is the iconic painting for the museum. I have always loved the painting. The Philbrook instragram page reppsted the picture and said "An amazing rendering of The Shepherdess." It is 31" tall. Made on a 16" Craftsman scroll saw.

    Stack Cutting

    Old Joe reacted to Dan for a topic

    Hey Mark. There are many ways to stack cut and you will probably use a little bit of info from everyone that posts. Here's my thoughts. Whenever I stack cut I always make sure my table is set at exaclty 90 degrees to the blade. The more detail in the cuts the smaller the stack. If I cut portraits from 1/8" stock, I will only stack 4 or 5 depending on how much detail. Always cut the interior cuts first (yeah, this is from experience). I use clear packing tape over the project to reduce burning. Bright lights, a drink, and good music make things much better, also. Have fun and post some pics.
