    Church In The Wildwood

    stoney and 6 others reacted to Chunkthekid for a topic

    This is an original pattern made from a picture the client took. It is a picture of a chapel her father built and it will be a Christmas present for him. I'm still not sure of myself in the pattern making department, but I think this turned out ok. 1/4" Maple w/ a stained BB backer. Used mostly FD UR #1, the tiny holes in the roof were done with FD New Spiral 2/0. 10"x10 1/2"

    Blade for 3D cutting

    OCtoolguy and 4 others reacted to meflick for a topic

    Ok, first - let's clarify on what you mean by "3-D" ornaments - are you talking about compound cut ornaments? I think so, but just want to make sure. If so, there were a couple of threads over the past year or so discussing and giving lots of good tips and information on cutting Compound ornaments. If so, one of the big tips provided that I "missed" until I tried to cut my first ones is to "NOT use reverse tooth blades" but to use skip tooth blades. The polar blades are skip tooth blades. Here is the thread with most of the good help and tips from several members here, in particular CharleyL, Bill Wilson, and dgman. Charley gave detailed information with photos as I recall. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/24171-compound-cutting-wood/ It is well worth a read through for anyone who is just learning to cut compound cuts for sure. Then in this thread, I showed my first compound cuts and asked why use skip tooth and not the reverse blades, and Bill Wilson gives a great explanation (which is why I am sharing link to that thread - not to show my work again http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/27019-first-try-compound-cutting/?tab=comments#comment-298429 If you haven't found it yet, Steve Good has a 3-d or Compound Cut Birdhouse pattern - it is the first one I tried and show in that thread above. I tried it because I thought it looked simple enough for me to try. http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2017/12/compound-cut-bird-house-and-stand.html This same post on Steve's blog also has a link to his DIY clamp to help holding it while cutting out compound cuts as referenced by @bandaideman above

    Yes.........it is in my shop and it is up and running. Drove down today and bought it. Seems to be a good saw.....time will tell. I have been wanting an EX..........never see them used around here. I wouldn't take anything for my Hegner but when it comes to large projects it will really be nice to top feed again.

    The project has taken me about 6 months and is now completed. The Maloof Style Rocker is made of Claro Walnut with lots of interesting and beautiful grain. I learned to make the rocker from Bill Kappel in Utah and went out there months ago for a week long one on one class with him. He has made many beautiful rockers and is a great teacher. He helped me get started and then shipped the parts and wood back to me in Indiana. The chair was a real challenge for me and included so many hours of grinding, shaping, sanding..... One interesting part was fitting the chair to my wife's liking. It involved setting the upper part on the rockers and then adjusting them for height and placement. This allowed the angle of the chair and height to fit her. The finish on it is 4 coats of Teak Oil, 4 coats of wipe on poly with light sanding in between and finally it was sanded with 1500 and 2000 grit paper and waxed with Butchers Wax. I did use my scroll saw on the project. Mostly it was to create wooden templates of some of the parts. It was interesting trying to get the left legs to look exactly like the right legs. I had never done this before and it was a real challenge. Now I am ready to get back to some scrolling projects and want to take on one of the truck models that I have seen.

    I added these to my album and need to describe them. The first is a Compact spiked Mobius Ribbon made using the scrollsaw and consists of 2 x 1/2 bowls and 10 x 1/4 bowls using the bowl from a board method. I used 1/2" plywood and there are 5 layers in each segment, I used the 8 pointed star as a guide, reduced the size of the segments from my previous effort hence the more compact result. Sorry I didn't do photos of the stage by stage construction but I wasn't sure it would work. Maybe if I ever do another I will do a full coverage. The second project is a scrollsaw mobious ribbon which I cut various breed of dogs in each segment before gluing up. This was given to a ex Aussie veteran who was a dog handler in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Exploring Inkscape

    bobscroll and 2 others reacted to Foxfold for a topic

    It's rained a fair bit here for the last few days so I've been trying to learn more about Inkscape as I think I could use it a lot. I love playing with words and the 'intersecting' words I find fascinating. I've made myself a couple of different types of pattern and this is the first one. There are things I'd do differently when I do it again, but it's my first attempt at putting a 'shape' into a pattern that's not a 'word'. Overall I'm pleased with it and can't wait to explore all the possibilities that this programme offers.

    @Foxfold Brenda, based on the information provided by Scott, you can order that back issue from Fox Chapel Publishing's Website here: https://foxchapelpublishing.com/scroll-saw-woodworking-crafts-issue-34-spring-2009.html Presently, they are having a sale on back issues at $2 each if you order 5 or more using the Promo Code: SSW2Dollars. I do not know how long that will last. You will also have to pay shipping costs in addition. However, that is still a great deal on back issues that usually are I believe $7.99 each plus shipping.

    Blade for 3D cutting

    Rolf and one other reacted to NC Scroller for a topic

    While everyone will have an opinion on this reverse tooth blades are not designed for compound cutting. To cut best you want a blade that removes as much sawdust as possible. That is a skip tooth design like the FD Polar. The reverse tooth design pushes sawdust back in the cut on the up cut.

    More information about "Ornaments For Charity"

    10,004 downloads

    Ornaments For Charity is a project from the members of Scroll Saw Village. For the last 13 years, our designers have donated their talents by creating wonderful ornament patterns for the Holiday Season. It has become so popular, and so big, we had to split it into 2 books! Book 1 covers our first 10 years; 2010-2021. Our newest book, Book 2, covers 2021-2023. Between the two books, we have 171 pages with 525 Holiday ornament patterns! So be sure to download both books! This popular eBook was featured in the Holiday 2014 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts (read the article here). Is it really free? Here's how it works. Download the eBook and take a look at what we have to offer. If you decide to keep it, all we ask is that you donate to your favorite charity. You get a ton of great ornament patterns, and you help those in need in return. Remember, this isn't about "buying" an eBook of patterns, it's about giving to a worthy cause. If you don't have a favorite charity, we have listed a number of national (and international) charities below that could use your help. Remember, the purpose is to raise money for those in need. So, please dig deep when donating. Please donate to one of these fine charities or a charity of your choice. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which donates toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. By giving to Toys for Tots, you'll bring the magic of Christmas to children in need. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to children (2.5 years to 18 years old) who have life-threatening medical conditions. It is a wonderful charity that brings a few moments of joy. Habitat For Humanity is an international, non-governmental, non-profit organization devoted to building simple, decent, and affordable housing for those who would not otherwise be able to afford their own home. A donation to your local food bank will ensure that the hungry will be fed in your own community. Make a difference in your neighbor's life.

    Ornaments

    amazingkevin reacted to RabidAlien for a topic

    So in addition to doing the two 2018 Christmas ornaments for my wife, I also tried some of the 3D ornaments Steve Good had on his site. 4 done so far. I'm out of town most of next week (business trip again), so I probably won't get a chance to finish up the last one, all depends on how the Christmas festivities and functions and obligations go. Fun cuts, quick cuts, but make darn sure your 1x1" blanks are actually 1x1. Apparently my band-saw blade started to bow out a bit, making the blanks a bit concave. Guess its time to see if they still make blades for that particular model (7.5" diameter wheels, old Black and Decker desktop model).

    OK I really do not know how to do this both to give credit for the pattern makers, also to show off my work, and to finally not bore you all but I will try and hopefully the site will allow for this. It will be a lengthy post so pull up a chair and get some popcorn. I first want to thank the pattern makers here that do such a great job and in particular and I hope I am not leaving anyone out and if I am please please accept my apology. Over this past year I began changing some projects in my inventory and I need help with some patterns so I asked here and had gotten help from Tim (WORBLER) , JIMERN, Bob (BOBSCROLL), Paul ( GRANDPA), Russell BIRCHBARK) and also many from Steve Good who I am not sure ever looks in here, and again if I missed someone please mention something if you see a project I made and did not give credit. Not my intention to leave anyone out. I will start with the know pattern makers and then just post finished projects. All got great reviews at the show my hats off to you pattern makers for the help. I also want to mention I probably took your pattern and incorporated in some manner to make a project that had my vision and taste added to it. Thanks again and let the show begin. I see I can not do this the way I wanted so I will have to make individual postings. Bear with me. Bob ( BOBSCROLL) Irish napkin holders and also Irish plaque Iron worker clock

    Thanks to all for the kind comments. Now that I have done one, I am thinking about another for the kids. I will be on the look out to find appropriate wood for another and that will take time. The wood for this one was spectacular and difficult to obtain. The wood was part of the cost of taking the class. I will not even start to tell how much the class, travel to Utah, New tools, supplies, etc.... I also have a long list of projects to tackle.

    Fantastic work! One detail that came to my mind was, if I had cut this, I probably would have centered each line of the next. It's fine the way it is and I am not being critical; that is just a thought that you may not have considered and may be a grain for thought if you do other projects with text like this ons. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

    For me personally, I wouldn't buy a saw with that long of arm unless you think you might actually need it. 100 hrs isn't a lot, but still, it is used, and no warranty. Might be a decent buy, but I don't think it is a steal.

    He says in the description he is willing to drive up to 90 miles to meet you. Also states he has about 100 hours on the saw. Doesnt look like a listing that wouldn’t be what it is pretty straight forward. I also like the part about no haggling price he says I already price it low for sale.

    Need glue help

    NC Scroller reacted to JTTHECLOCKMAN for a topic

    My suggetion is to tape off the edges close to the break with painters tape so that when you apply glue it will not seep out to surrounding area and will affect the look of the wood. You will not be able to sand it all out. I would do this on all edges. I then would use carpenters yellow wood glue. I like Titebond 2 for this. I then would use rubber bands for a clamping method. Good luck.
