Havn't posted much lately been doing a lot of repeat projects. I decided to post these that I had finished. The quilting cave plaques are 14"×16" made from 1/4" birch plywood. The wall plaque is about 6"×9". All with a few coats of clear finish on them.

Got a few done now and wanted to post these up. The Celtic square is from Bobsaw got to love his work. Worbler did the Pangolin from a request. Hard to believe they are an endangered species and people catch them and try to make pets out of them. On the Pangolin I hit it with a blow torch after cutting and was surprise by the way it darkened the area around each cut. Got to do this more often really like the effect. Thanks both of you for the great patterns. Had fun on these. jim penquin

I had a special request to try to build a carousel type rocking horse. I have made 65+ kid sized rocking toys, plus a bunch of mini-sized stress reliever ones. SO I said, why not try. Here is the result. It is 37+1/2 inches tall 35 inches long and 14 inches wide. All construction is screwed and glued with the visible screw holes filled or plugged. I use a jig that I had made years ago for the rocker assembling. The wood is pine and a bit of unknowns for the top-cap and the handle. They were turned from firewood pile. The customer wanted to do the paint/trim etc. as that is one of my weaknesses anyway that is more than fine! The design is fro the rjR/ T & E design studio. All cross braces are also reinforced underneath. It passed the ride test by me with flying(ROCKING) colors too. When I get so I cannot test ride them; I am going to quit making them and give my rocker assembly jig and templates away. I did make posterboard templates for this one. If I make another, it will also have thin plywood templates made at the cutting time.

My granddaughter is getting married in November. Both her and her husband to be are professional horse people. My granddaughter buys, sells, breaks. trains and sells horses. Her husband to be, is a professional roper and cowboy, he works as a ranch hand, taking care of miles of fences and herds a very large amount of cattle. So my thanks goes to Sam Custodio for his great pattern and for allowing me to alter it for this special occasion. Dick heppnerguy

This marriage has been looming in the works for a couple of years and they finally decided the time was NOW. Since they had been a couple for maybe a total of 4 years, I was content to just have the feeling of "It's about time". I was told a couple of months after the announcement that she was disappointed to not had this traditional "she said yes" plaque that I had made and given to everyone else. I told her that I was just so excited that the time was FINALLY here that all I thought about was the upcoming wedding. I did promise to make them one. The husband to be is Hannah's brother. Hannah is the girl I made the 'HITCHEN UP" plaque for, that I posted yesterday. This is a pretty ordinary piece but it means a lot to the people it is made for, so I thought I would post it anyway.

These are not new from Harvey, but new to me as I hadn't cut these before. Trying to add a couple new items in advance of two big events coming up next month. I have Harvey modifying the Steogsaurus to simply say STEGO... the original had so many letters, they were thin and fragile.

Finished this Black Lab, pattern is from Gayle in scrollers Cafe. Did this after my surgery. edward

Steve Good pattern. Wood - must lepp (Alnus glutinosa in Latin, don´t no the name in english) 8 pcs total

This is my last set of trophies I have mad with a joint venture wit an excellent wood carving man I meet in a small town near my place

I cut 1.5" on my Hegner. Typically, do compound cut Christmas Ornaments. I have cut them from oak, ash and cherry. I have used FD Polar #5. I really like the PS Woods Super Sharp blades but are more expensive.

Hi everyone I keep making sawdust and recently bought a Proxon scroll saw, I'm enjoying learning how to use it and looking around the Scroll Saw Village there are some very talented folks out there. I'm looking forward to visiting Canada later this year and hope to pick up a few Woodworking magazines whilst on holiday there, you guys on the other side of the pond seem to have better facilities for crafters.

I made this for my daughter for her baby shower. All the guest and family are going to sign it. Then it will hang in her room. Made it out 1/4 in plywood. Some of the wood i just bought. Thanks for looking. Will be working on more things this weekend.

i cut this mini clock for us soldiers

I made this Trophy for the Carolina Sprint Tour Race @ 311 Speedway last night. The race was won by 18yr old Jake Karklin. He and his Dad were thrilled to win this trophy. He said it was one of the coolest Trophies they had ever won. Jake said it’s going in my Bedroom! I had a Awesome time, and met some Awesome people. After making this, the track owner is wanting me to make the Championship trophies for our local divisions. I also got me some Decals made this week, and I’ve already had a few of my Customers put them on their Racecars.

Nice looking project, well done. Jeff

The pattern is available in the pattern request file. Go down the list and look for Pangolin. Worbler did a great job on the pattern. have fun. jim penquin

I have been back in my shop, making some dust.Willie is Steve Good's pattern The Razor is Grandpa's The 58 Apache is mine and Jimmie's # 48 is Sam Custodio's.That is my Daughter's Birthday gift.She's a Big Jimmie Johnson fan.

great job

Excellently done Dick. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW

Boy--you captured the moment.

I love it and so will they. You did a terrific job. Marg

I’ve been very busy lately. Business has been doing really great. I thought I would take a minute and share some of my latest creations with my fellow scrollers. I made my own patterns for all of these. The Sprint Car will be given out as a trophy @ my local dirt track. The 3 CNYUAS Kart trophies are going to Syracuse, NY. They are for the Top 3 in points for the Central New York Unlimited All-Stars. Some where for Father’s Day presents, Birthday Presents, Proud Parents, Fans, and the Drivers Themselves. Hope you guys like these.

These are made from 1/4 inch ????? oak (Sorry seniors moment ) . Finished with 50/50 blo and spray clear estopol. (TASMANIAN OAK) Marg

Walnut, poplar, padauk

Well it's been a little while since I made any thing "NEW" and this was a request from a customer.. So I made the pattern last week and cut it out yesterday.. I've been trying my hand at making my own patterns.. After I made this and cut it I see a couple of changes I'll make on the next one I cut.. If this one sells that is.. Don't think it's a bad pattern but not much to really brag about either... Now today.. back to cutting stock in ornaments..

These are a few of my 4" x 12" signs I have cut. Most are cut from Red Oak. Duke

Posted this in the pattern request forum last night. @Dave Monkcame through with a perfect pattern. Thanks again Dave, the wife loves it. 8 1/2 X 13 using more of my re-claimed laminated maple. Jeff

Love it!

Cut from birch flooring backed by a drawer bottom and framed with cherry from an entertainment unit which I splatterpainted

I bought all this wood for 80$. I am set for a very long time. Well a coup!e of projects and get my money back plus more. The guy I bought it from had it for two years and never did anything out of it so just wanted it out of his garage. My son thought I was crazy. I think it is really cool and already got projects going.

Looks great Dick thanks for sharing

That's fantastic Dick. They will love it I am sure! Rob

That Works !...Nice cutting Dick !

I’m sure they will love that great job

Beautiful gift Dick. Very nicely done. Jeff

WOW! Great cutting Dick. Great pattern too.

I think, DeWalt, Hegner, Hawk, Seyco, Excalibur, King and there are more that will handle it.

That is super Dick! Great job.

Yes Hawks can cut up to two inches. However, and that's just me, I would seriously look at the PS Wood scroll saws I have not seem a more robust saw. A brand new out of the box 21inch saw, steel stand and quick change blades with free shipping is $799. I have no idea why it is not more popular but my friend has one. It is built more like an industrial machine and yet can produce the very finest work. If I were to replace my Hawk that would be my next purchase. JMHO

Lovely work Dick. Roly

RBI Hawks can cut up to 2 inch but are 1200+ new used almost any price age, condition dictates. fredfret

Well, looks like that was taken from an episode of Woodworking for Mere Mortals. If you watch the beginning he tell where he got the pattern from coloring pages on google.

I would be happy to do it, however; 1. Would need to know the EXACT radius, & the total length of the letters desired & what font you want. 2. Since it is a purchased pattern, you can't send it to me. You could message me for an address & send a copy of that portion of the pattern. Maybe others have a better idea. jerry

Nice job! Again I will say how I like the way you do the framing.

Very nice projects. As wide as the bowl is, what are you using to sand the inside?

Now to order 10 gross of blades to cut it all.

Nice find. I see a lot of woof there. I guess your son doesn't know what wood cost today.

I find it amazing how fast our supply of wood can disappear into designer sawdust and few good pieces of art

Kevin, Jim did a great post about his method a while back... Rob
