Cut from reclaimed birch flooring mounted on Asian acacia engineered flooring sample framed with cherry from an entertainment unit

I got this piece of hickory from my brother. It’s about 18” x 6” and finished with semi gloss poly. I always liked this saying. I uploaded from my iPhone, sorry if you can’t see it very well

Honoring MCCAIN for his service to the State of Arizona and our nation. On the day of his funeral, I decide to cut a plaque of him. I think I could have picked a lighter board for this one, but I thought it would look nicer this way, but now... if I was to do it over, I would cut it on a lighter colored piece. John McCane 1936 to 2018. Thank you for your outstanding military service and your dedication to the citizens of America Dick heppnerguy

Took me all day today to make these guys. These are my favorite ornaments I have made yet. Designer is Bruce Worthington. He just put these patterns on the market a couple of weeks ago.

Butter knives, the pine knive was a gift from a family member who got it in Finland. I knew I could take that up a notch or two, I made two out of two different types of mahogany and finished them with salad bowl finish so they are food safe compliant. They work great! Thanks deb! I will make sure you get one

Reclaimed Ash flooring , mounted on a drawer bottom framed with an old Sherwood pmp, Paul Coffey’s old stick choice. Lol

Thought I'd make a couple of boxes with some off cuts laying around while the CNC was engraving a pattern in the lid. Yes I might be using this a lot it's great to be doing other things while my little robot does it's thing. Roly

I've done the pattern that you made for me and although I'm not happy with my work, the pattern is awesome. So would like to say "many, many thanks for your time and patience". This was done on my little Pin End saw and I've never done anything like this before, but I'm hoping to do it again on my 'new' saw once it's been set up for me.

Did this some time this year my take on Yoda

Finished this 68 Mustang GT Fastback, done on 1/2" Oak, #5 FD reverse and FD#1, Steve Good pattern.

I run across this on a laser CNC forum when someone asked about identifying a font.. someone replied with this place.. Just thought it could come in handy with the pattern makers.. Have no idea how well it works.. as I haven't tried it.. https://www.fontsquirrel.com/matcherator

G'day all, 2 more tissue boxes, I don't think I've shown this pattern before. The Rose is backed with green and red felt, the Cowboy black felt. I like backing him with black felt and glitter, looks like the stars at night, but i'd run out so a starless night is.

My Grandson is a hockey player. I made him a key rack last Christmas and I am not sure it got put up. On Wednesday we had him visit for the day and he cut his number out all by himself and painted. He then went home and had the key rack and numbers put up in his room. The number really added to the theme. ( I now have 3 more grandkids to do numbers)

Same place one gets a metric Crescent wrench.

I was busy sowing off my beautiful scroll saw artistry. Everyone was stunned at the beauty of it all. I was beaming as I realized I had just achieved status equal to Amazing Kevin. Then the darn cat woke me up. Dang it!

G'day all, I noticed in the Q & A Forum there was a bit of discussion regarding pin chucks and holding 1/16th or smaller bits in your drill press. This is my method, A mate actually got me the chuck, however I have collected a few chucks (I always remove the chuck before chucking a US drill ) since and given them to blokes I know. Most 1/4" chucks will grip the small bits. I found a bolt that fitted in the threaded end of the chuck, cut the head of it and that is now the shank that goes into the drill press. A picture is worth a thousand words Cheers John

Nice work, and you did it with pinned blades !

Been pretty busy making ornaments for this season. Just wanted to share this set I made a couple of days ago.

Cut from repurposed birch flooring mounted on a drawer bottom and framed with cherry from an entertainment unit

I like those. The one with the tree reminds me of the wizard from the animated movie "Wizards".

ha ha, ya right, no painting tutorial needed paint the frame one color and take another color(s) dip an item like a screw, thin piece of wood, dowel, pipe cleaner etc it into paint and whip it in a downward motion at the 4 pieces prior to them being assembled and attached to the piece. my fav and my sons fav was a toronto blue jays piece I made him. if you want painting tutorials you need to hit up Crupiea, that is painting at its best.... I can barely splatter paint and trust me I have tried painting, not my skill set clearly...

I know how ya feel,I have a few like that.You are a Great Scroller.The cat thinks so too.

My 226 has the line-loc blower hose but the older style clamp.. My old 220 I upgraded to the line loc and it made a world of difference.. then a year later my upper tension mechanism wore out and so I upgraded to the new BM style.. I personally like the older style better.. and personally wouldn't upgrade it unless it is worn out and needs it.. Not really much difference in using the two different styles.. just something about that BM style upper system i don't really care for.. as far as the way it's designed..

Nice Iggy, After doing a dozen shows, I got sick of loading and unloading when I got home so I invested in a 4x6 enclosed trailer. That was the best $1500 I've ever spent and I paid it off in 2 month out of my craft fair revenues. After a show, I just park the trailer and its almost ready for next show. I never miss anything anymore because It stays in the trailer. everything fits in there with room to spare. This is my trailer

Ever try sitting in the back seat of one?

beautiful ornaments

Those look really nice Roly. I like the boxes.

Interesting, will have to give it a shot. Thanks for posting Kevin.

Really nice, I can imagine the little bloke lying down with a tree in his hand, holding a whiskey bottle instead

Very nice cutting and the timber you selected really sets it off.

He was one hell of a man and politican, to bad there arent many more like him. Nice cutting Dick, is this one of your own patterns? Len

Love the choice of wood!

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

Well done. Love the use of the hickory slab. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW

More beautiful pieces John. Jeff

Beautiful work and I really liked the idea of glitter for a starry night! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Great boxes!!

We all have to come down to earth occasionally, well not me because the earth if flat and Australia does not exist. (Check out post in Coffee House) Marg

You are a star in my book Les!!!

Well, she is not new to wood working, or if she is,,, WOW. WOW anyway, that is a great job. If my wife came in my wood shop and did that,,,, I'd go in her quilting room and,,,, well,,, cry!

A bit fishy today out in the shed first of all half a dozen fish puzzles then to finish of the evening Jonah and the whale puzzle

This is from a pattern kindly made for me by Don in Brooklyn. Ontario that is. 1/2" Poplar, #5 Pegas.

Well Ray, everyone is going to shoot you a formula of how to price. But for me, formulas don’t work. The way I price is, I look at it and ask myself, what would I pay for this if I wanted to buy it? I have been selling for a few year now and have found that customers don’t care that this piece is made from exotic woods and they don’t care how long it took to make it. They do know that it looks cool and they would like to buy it if it’s priced right. Now mind you, I don’t give it away. I sell my items for a good price, but affordable. I’m not going to get rich selling, but I certainly am not loosing money either. For the Deer scene I would price at $25-$35. The puppy and kittens portrait maybe $40 and the garage band portrait $25 unframed.

I wish i had more thumbs!!!! The 2 i have to put up is not enough! Beautiful work

I forgot the Butterfly

First time in the shop in over a month due to a kitchen remodel. Thanks to lawson56 for a really cool pattern. Live edge Black Walnut backed with rough cut Black Walnut. 7 1/2" tall. ***Ha! Just noticed the drill hole I left undone in his mustache. I'll fix that later.

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.

Over the last three years y'all have provided so much help, thank you. I finally feel like I may have done something that might help someone else. I have been putting mini-clocks in various cuttings, I am not always able to add the clock hole to the design due to the odd shape of the wood, so I made this template from 1/8 BB. It allows me to move it around on the piece and when I like it, I can mark the center for drilling. Inner diameter is 1 3/8 and the outer diameter is 1 7/16 (to show where the clock bezel would be. Attached is a pdf, and a two layer photoshop file EDIT Dang photoshop, the inner diameter is fine, the outer diameter is too large - I'm Working on it Sorry guys Jim EDIT EDIT ROFL, this getting old is hard on the memory What I did, since I did not want to try to cut a 1/16 inch wide circle (not sure my skill level is there yet), was to allow for a reveal outside the bevel of the clock face. The clock face bevel has a diameter of 1 7/16 inch, slightly less than half what is shown and the inner diameter is 1 3/8 I need a beer. sigh Jim mini-clock-hole.pdf mini-clock-hole.psd

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

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