Made this Leopold bench today for a Nebraska fan......hope they like it....logo is the only scrolling.....2x8 construction grade lumber....hand brush painted(2 coats).....comments as always...ty

this was a church craft show @ $20 per space them furnishing one table but you can bring more if it fits the space .I had 2 tables This is the first day of cold weather and That brought the traffic down The temp was about 22*F. It was a spacer buying crowd but I did manage to $188. that put me up $78 over expenses for the year. This is a hobby and my main ogle is to pay expenses and I have my next sale is in 5 days It's a free-by and they feed you so I can't go too far wrong. I do this ever year and I usually get between $200 and $300 for the show Then my last sale is Dec. 8 I should be close to being out of stock I like these little Church sales The food is always good and at a good price, I will let you know what I do on the 15th. IKE

A cross made for my brothers buddy. Pattern by Sue Mey. Made from 1/4 inch walnut with a 1/8 backer

Some of my latest cuts, all patterns by @neptun. Love the bear pattern, only 11 cuts. Jeff

The Christmas tree was a request from a very good friend, she wants to display all the Christmas decorations that I made for them over the years. The star at the top of the tree is a pattern from Russell (Birchbark), Thanks Russell it came out great and the receiver really like it so big bonus. The other items are different things that I cut this week, getting ready for Christmas and less than one month before we leave for Arizona. The cactus are not finish yet, will drill holes and insert round toothpicks in them, will do that when I get in AZ (gift for the place we stay at).

4th cross to my collection MDF (medium density fiberboard) 3mm, 4 layers Patterns are available at www.etsy.com/shop/AlexFoxUA

Going to try this from my phone. I have been doing a little cutting getting gifts ready. Some of these are consigned to a scholarship fund where I will get $1 each from each piece to cover some expense and the balance to the fund. In the third picture, there is a quarter in the center for perspective.

Here is another for the wife's tattoo crowd. Can't give credit to whoever pattern came from pinteres

Another Sue Mey project.

Have been very busy lately doing other things but now have time to do some scrolling again & some relaxation time with my saw.Had an order for this one & the customer said he would take as many as I could make for him. He wants anything to do with cars ,motorbikes & hot rods. He wants to line the walls of his office with them so I am going to be busy for quite some time.Thanks to Grampa for the pattern

The race to the finish line... Today was Mythical Day. Five Saturday events in a row coming up starting tomorrow. The weather forecast looks great for tomorrow and next Saturday, just need 3 more good weather days after that and end the season/year on a good note.

Just got back from a craft show, started out really slow although the crowds were good did around $314, which I ddn't expect the way it started then all of a sudden it got busy, only had one item on the square. Now I have to get busy on Items that I sold. Next week I have a two day show. Those little $5 ornaments really add up.

Finished another one.

It's been quite a few years since I have been active on SSV. Sorry about that. Just wanted to say Hi and I hope to be active, and contributing member once again. Missed you guys. JamminJack

Just wanted you all to know I’m still alive. It was a very serious surgery. I had complications from pain meds, and am still in the hospital. I’m hoping to be home for thanksgiving, but no guarantees. I’m still very foggy so this is very hard for me to do not to mention the smoke from the fires. You have all heard about the shooting here in Thousand Oaks. I’m in the hospital that the Sheriffs officer died. So it’s been a tough time for me. I’ll check Bach in in about a week or so, Dan

Finished these ornaments today just in time for tomorrows show. I reduced them to 70%, from the original 100%. Thanks Bob for the patterns.

Hey Bob, for a minute I thought I was reading my own post. I also have a Porter Cable. It is now making some amazing sounds, I can't even explain. I have fixed, poked, rebuilt, transformed, and prayed a lot. But now I really feel its time to upgrade. I used to refer to it as my Full Blown Porta Cable. I just have to hope it holds together until this seasons Christmas gifts are finished. Three more to go. Then NEW SAW TIME. Its been a long time coming. Keep us updated on what your choice is. I am leaning towards the 788. So much information on keeping up with that saw, and rebuilding etc. I like to tinker, so I feel that will be my next toy.

Very nice. I like neptun's patterns. Curious if you used a spiral blade on the raccoons? Will probably be doing that one soon.

Yours look very pretty. This is the only one I have. Would like to make more....

Another discovery in my search. I have made about 5 medal boxes in total, all slightly different. This one depicts a Light horseman on the front, the Rising sun badge on top and a famous photo of Australian troops taken on the Western front in WW1 on the rear. On other boxes I have changed the horse for a donkey in recognition of one of our most famous soldiers from Gallipoli, "Simpson and his Donkey" https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/simpson

I was searching some old drives looking for a particular pattern that I was sure I had, maybe I dreamed it, or I just haven't dug deep enough. However I came across some photos of a jewellery box I made for my wife. She need another as this one is over flowing now. enjoy. I used Pine, Jarrah and Merranti, and the bands are Tasmanian oak.

This is from sue Mey’s lighted projects book. Would love to see other lighted stuff if youre willing to show them!

I'm hoping you mend as soon as possible Dan, All the best to you! Bob

That's weird thought about you yesterday and was wondering how you were prayers are working then. You take it easy and enjoy your rest time before you get back home and start trying to do chores around the house. God bless. Roly

Dan, so sorry for your troubles. Keep your strength, and faith up, and get well soon. We are all here praying for you.

Pictures of this show

very nice

fantastic work

Now this is a Beautiful job I have tried doing projects like this in the past,I just can,t never line up the holes,slots just right.no matter how many times I try.

That's very pretty Ron nicely done.

Well done on all of them Jeff, you have been busy.

I love the bear too! I plan to cut that for my shop wall. Great job on all!

So I'm making a bowl and using different woods. A strip of walnut and a strip of I think maple total of seven alternating strips in all. I cut the 2" strips with the scroll saw followed the line but still not perfect. We have a table saw, but I've never used it (scared of it, I should get someone to show me the proper way to use it then I would probally be okay).I don't have a table planer, I do have a hand planer but for the life of me I cant figure out how to get the knife to move to adjust it. Any way, I've got my palm sander pressed in the vise upside down trying to even out the edges of these 2" strips and I'm have a heck of a time getting them flat so that the strips will butt up before glueing. My question is am I doing what I can or is there a better way? At the rate I'm going there might not be much left of these strips.LOL. Any suggestions would be very much adppreciated. Thanks Irene

Hi Dan. I was thinking about you the other day. I’m glad to hear that you are on the mend. Your area has had terrible things happening recently. Take Care of yourself and keep us posted. Irene

Ray, if you go over to the coffee house, I explained it there about tree weeks ago

Terrific work!!

Guess it was your turn for R&R the hard way.I'm headed that way very soon. Your scroll saw will be waiting for a workout!Like

Boy if things unforeseen would stop draining my wallet I would love to order more from you.Your a one of a kind pattern maker long over due!!!!!!!

He is going to have a wall of fame that won't quit! I can't wait to see it being built up! You're overqualified for the job and it's going to be spectacular to see finished!!!!!!!!!!!!

Craigslist can be good. If you are on FacePlant Facebook, check out Marketplace - like Craigslist, but you can see who is selling because they have a FB page. Look for a Hawk or Hegner (I love my Hegner).

I never store my items in the cold and in fact I will not even put my craft stuff in the truck until the morning of a show. Wood products will expand and contract due to moisture and temps. Just the nature of wood. Now depending on the type of projects you make can have an effect of cracking. If the items are glued the glue can crack. If the pieces are thin veneers they can become brittle. Just my thoughts. This applies for heat in the summer as well. Extreme temps is not good for finished craft projects.

You did a perfect job on the plaque Peter! Thank you for letting us see, Bob

All my things are stored in the loft of my un-heated shop.. All are either already packaged or in storage drawers / totes... I've never had any issues..

Since I'm trying my first craft show today I'll be staring any unsold thing in the garage over the winter, I wouldn't expect any damage from the cold. I hope I sell something I don't want to store it all!

Nicely done!

I have a ROK I've googled how to use it, how to set it up, I've had it apart so many times trying to understand it, but to no avail. Our school won't let adults learn liability reasons. But yes I need to take a course on planers and table saws.

When I do bowls and need to get rings flat I have a piece of marble with a sheet of 80 gret. Attached with spray glue.

Couple places to get some in the U.S. : The ones here were designed by Helmut, He use to be a member here and passed away a couple years ago. http://schwibbogenbyhelmut.weebly.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html This is where I purchased the pattern for the one I did: http://woodyoubelieveshop.blogspot.com/p/patterns-on-cd.html These are done by a person named Volker from Germany. He has his own website also, but I can't read German.

Super cool. Well done Ron and Scrappile.

One of our recently deceased members used to make and sell fantastic patterns for lit Christmas projects. I'm sure someone will chime in with his website for you. Quality scrolling you do! Keep coming back posting your fabulous work, Friend!!!
