Finished 3 tissue boxes on Saturday, Sold the Elephant one at Sunday's markets. The dragon design I have cut before, The butterfly and Elephants are new designs and 1st time cuts. Pine with Jarrah Trim. I use felt to back the cuttings.

I cut this out for my 10 year old niece for her birthday. Piece looked like it’d be quite fragile by itself so I decided to cut from thin B.B. ply and glue it to a star shaped backer from walnut. Dipped in Danish oil today and in a few days I’ll top coat it with some lacquer. Wrote a little birthday message on the back and dated it so she’ll have a lifetime treasure

One more gift. Almost 7 hours. And I still managed to break it .... click on the picture to enlarge

You will just have to buy a Hegner, they have one for it. Does your wives sew?? Or do you sew? Make them. Or... got some old bath towels?? For several years, I have tried to get my sweet wife... the sweat one, not the crankie one to make a cover for my Street Organ. I want it in quilt fashion, and to look like my organ... now, is that too much to ask.... do I have it..... NO! My one of a kind precious organ is covered with old bath towels!!

Thanks for the pattern Wayne. I finally got to cut this out today.

Here is one I just completed.

Hi guys and gals, just finished this today. This is for my Grandson who just joined the Navy. I want to thank Wayne and Bob for doing the pattern for me. I had the choice of either one. I did Wayne's and took a little bit of Bob's. Thanks again guys. Ralph.

You leave them out in the rain 'WITHOUT" a cover of course!!

I was going to ask how the cat got rusty....

Great idea I could use a heated blanket and tuck them in at night.. then they are still warm for me in the morning..

Oh hell JT, what difference does it make? If the gentlemen want covers for their saws, than so be it. I've got every one of my scroll saws covered, & my table saw, too. The reason being is because when I am in the shop & have finish work or stainin' to do, I do it by air sprayer. The covers prevent any over spray or carry over in the air from landing on the saw decks. And it keeps them cleaner & easier to look after. Each to their own JT. Oh hey, don't forget to turn the a/c down under your scroll saws. I'd hate to hear ya had to build a fire under them to get them to run! Enjoy the day, JT!☺

These are my grandchildren. Patterns courtesy of Mahendra. They will be Christmas gifts to my two daughters. Cut from 1/8" BB with a #1 Penguin Silver Reverse blade.

My wife has been bugging me to try a portrait. I found a picture from a few years ago of her and dove into MS 3D paint. After a few hours, I came up with a picture I could cut. I'll try my hand on a few others in the next coming weeks for some of the family relatives. I hope I don't get disowned! LOL! 1/8" BBPW on 1/4" backer Gloss lacquer finish.

AMEN!!

It's such a tough life you live Paul

If you call Nikki at Bushton & ask her about it, they have a lady there in Bushton they use that has a sewing shop. She makes covers for all their saws. And yes, she has the patterns to create the cover, you just tell her what you'd like it made from. I don't have her number anymore, that's why I suggest you call Nikki.

That's a good question.. and I also would like to have one.. Might have to give them a call as they don't always have everything on the web site.. I'd like to have a couple of them.. also wouldn't mind one for the DeWalt and Excalibur.. since they all seem to collect dust.. I mostly use my old 220VS so probably wouldn't really need one for that one..

Well I got the saw. Good times ahead.

Just finished this one .It seemed to take me ages but I finally got there .The reason I am showing it is because of the large amount of Scroll Saw work involved in it.I am Quite happy about how it turned out but doubt if i would attempt something like this again .I have plenty of patience for my Scroll Saw work but not for something like this. Cheers Peter

Does anyone know what I could get a cover to go over my Hawk 226VS? I don't see it on RBI's website. Thanks Jim

If you are spray finishing in the same shop you do woodworking all I can say is good luck man. Dust and finish do not mix but as YOU elegantly said TO EACH HIS OWN. Love your jabs.

My 1st post on this group. I made this for my cousin's birthday, last month. Radiata Pine with Jarrah trim and inlay.

I only had the police called on me once when making raised panel doors at 11:00 pm. They shined the flashlight in my eyes while I was using the router. After I got done telling them unsafe that was I told them to get the decibel meter out to see if I was breaking the noise ordinance. I only did that because of flashlight deal making it unsafe for me. I got to finish because with the doors closed I wasn't breaking the noise ordinance which didn't make them happy.

I keep my table saw covered. It is one of the cats favorite sleeping places and I do not like rusty cat prints on my table saw.

I cant' get enough of Old West art. I designed and cut this gunfight scene.

I guess I did not use enough of these. Another suggestion if the air conditioner covers won't work, Harbor Freight sells many size tarps that probably can work. Maybe a outdoor grill cover will work. Here is a site that has all kind of covers. http://www.the-cover-store.com/equipment-covers/outdoor-full-air-conditioner-covers?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=BING | OUT | AC | SEARCH&utm_term=air conditioner covers&utm_content=OUT | AC | SEARCH | US | Air Conditioner Covers

Just finished up another order for one of these 69 Camaro clocks..

Wow we are now babying our saws. Do you need to put a heater under the cover too to keep it warm at night. None of my tools in my full woodworking shop have ever had covers and that includes 4 scrollsaws. If you really need one them maybe an air conditioning cover may work. Home Depot have them for cheap money. Do they get dust on sure but so what, it will not effect bearings and anything else on them. They are made to get dusty.

Thank you for all your replies. I will give the skip tooth blade a try. Its kind of weird though this saw is 15 plus years old and I never had this happen. Maybe its time to retire it if the skip tooth doesn't work.

Yeah very true.. The car themed stuff seem to be my hottest selling items I offer.. And around the world is right.. Send many of these to Australia, Canada, and the UK... Few to Italy too.. I also think it's really cool that something I make here in my little shop in southwest lower Michigan.. is sent all over to many different states, countries etc..

Hi, Don, I went to YouTube and found the WWMM video by Steve Ramsey with this link. http://woodworkingformeremortals.com/beginning-woodworking-intarsia/ Once on that page there is a link that says DOWNLOAD THE PATTERN HERE. This link, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byv0IjzK8MhvYXBaN0JSelVNSTA/view may take you directly to the .pdf of the pattern. God Bless! Spirithorse

Well, for some fun, go to his site and look up the plans for his "Marshmellow Crossbow". I made 4 of them to give to family members. They a great fun to make and play with.... wear eye protection.... Surprising how a fast moving soft marshmellow can feel in the eye... Here you go I found it... fun https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Byv0IjzK8MhvUFZNWElSSXozZjg/edit

correct- that was my piece

nice find Paul

I used to be quite active in a number of scroll saw forums, but due to a few different things gave it all away about 6 years ago. Finally got back down the shed, serviced the saws and am having a great time breathing saw dust. Cheers

Absolutely beautiful work!

Thanks heaps Bob.

What a lovely job you do on your car plaques Kevin, And your helping the export market for the good old U.S.A! Let's here it for Kevin! Thank you for posting, Bob

Wonderful projects John, stunning. Jeff

Congratulations Mr.J, and welcome to the Hawk family!

Truly Beautiful Boxes!! Awesome job!!

My shop has an insulated door but it faces North so I can't say how much it helps with direct sun. I know it helps in the winter so I think it will help you.

My windows are double pane in the garage doors.

I have insulated doors in my shop, Which is a double car garage, But since we live in Southern Arizona and through the summer most days are in the 100 to 120 degrees, it still get hot in the shop. I do have a mini split air conditioner in my shop. The sun comes up very early in the morning and as soon as it gets higher then my neighbors single story house across the street, I am hit with the direct sun hitting both my doors. Outside at 6 am it is already 82 degrees, but sometimes the coolest it gets outside is 90 degrees. I start my AC right after I get up, if I am going to work in my shop and about the best I can maintain is 84 degrees. Without my AC it would get to 104 degrees by noon or so. Do the insulated doors help, YES. Does that mean it will be comfortable to scroll in all day... Not for me. But an added T shirt that is put in a sink of water and rung out and worn during the afternoon works way better than you would realize. The spraying or misting oneself is a joke but the wet T shirt works wonders for about 45 minutes. Dick heppnerguy

Incredible talent!

Amazing, unique and beautiful. Well done to you and your friend. Marg

great job, they're all beautiful
