This was the first real project on my new Hegner 22V scroll saw. I call this one "A Starry Night In Grand Rapids" The frame is Walnut with maple trim and splines, the stars are made of various natural hardwoods. The night's sky was cut and airbrushed. I wanted to establish depth, similar to the perspective in the painting, so I offset he city's silhouette. As far as the LED, I have a strip installed that allows you to choose the color, brightness, or transition between colors... the options are pretty limitless. Enjoy

I haven't done much scrolling recently, I've been really busy with work and kids. So as it's Christmas I decided to do s wreath for the door, I still need to paint his face. My wife's friend did all the fancy stuff around the outside. the outside diameter of the wooden circle is 20cm.

I made this for my daughter who's cat died earlier this year, I named it the Lillie Tree named after her cat. It is a Sue Mey pattern. It's cut from 2.5mm bamboo and it's got 2 sheets of overhead projection green colored sheets in between. Marg

Pattern from Steve Good. Made with padauk an mystery wood. Steve said it can be used for fake flowers. Wife is going to us it as a pencil holder.

My new '3M' mask and filters. Seems to be comfortable on first try. Paid for by making two name plaques for hubby's friends. Wow, that means I'm starting to be 'self sufficient' Although I have been reminded that I still have the cost of my saw, blades, glue, wood to catch up on But for today I'm a happy bunny that doesn't have to breath in sawdust.

Been wanting to cut a Nativity for quite some time. Finally got some time in my shop to get it done. This is Steve Good's pattern and made from some alder that @heppnerguy gave me. My wife and her friends really like a video game called Midnight Cinderella. I made some custom ornaments with some of the characters. The are thrilled with them. Here's a detail shot. Cut from 1/4" BB ply. The image is just printed onto copy paper. I also put some Christmas scrapbook paper on the reverse before cutting them out.

First of all, I have continued my recent "tradition" of mailing home-made wooden cards. Here are photos of the cards for the last three years: 2016: 2017: 2018: Then, last week, I discovered a pattern for a great freestanding tree ornament by Sue Mey. So far, have made one of these: I will definitely make more of these. Right now, I am experimenting with combining this along with some coloured glass as a background (stained-glass is another one of my many hobbies).

I've never done anything for anyone but myself before. I do so hope they like them Oh heavens, when I come to look at the photo, the spacing between the name and ampersand isn't even But it's too late now, they are coming for them tonight. Oh couldn't you weep ??? Well, I could. !!!

Just finshed mine today. I actually had this one set up and ready to cut last year,,, never got to it. This is a pattern that was in the Winter 2017 issue of Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts magazine #69. designer Bruce Shea Cut in Cherry and star white rose wood.

Pattern from Paul (Grampa) is done and framed, ready to be given to the owner of the dog.

Steve Good pattern. These turned out pretty cool!

Alex Fox’s Wolves. 366 cuts. BB oiled, mounted on 1” Poplar stained with True Black. Alex says on his pattern page that this one is rated as intermediate level. I may not ever reach his advanced level. I found this one to be pretty challenging.

Glad to hear that you are now on your way to being self sufficient I have now just became sufficient for this year. I now have about #299 dollars left over but that won't last long.But this is a hobby and If I don't break even that's all right . It useallly takes about 3 craft sails per year to do it. IKE

illuminated star, pattern by AC Holzkunst, Germany.

Just finished up these plaques with crackle paint finish(wood glue is the secret).....1x8 lumber for main plaque with a routed fancy edge......name & decorations are 1/4" sanded ply painted black.....pleased with the way they turned out......2ft wide.....used "Bigtop" font on this one.....Comments are always appreciated. Thank you

Thanks a bunch to Multitiom for the set of Burno Mars patterns, got a sister in law who is a huge fan of his so wanted to do something for her. The Clint is a pattern by Gayle at Scrollers Cafe jim

I stacked cut three of these in 1/8 inch BB (12 x 16) for Christmas presents. The pattern is by Charles Hand and as designed, has 260 cutouts. I had to add a few bridges to stabilize some areas and to add the US flag at the bottom which resulted in a total of 297 cutouts. I copied the use of the flag at the bottom from an earlier post of this pattern by Scrappile (Paul). Comments and mild criticism welcome. Keith

Just finished a pattern from Paul was a nice one to cut.

Excellent well worst the money spend. Onwards and Upwards now. Roly

Your lungs will thank you.

Brenda - you need to tell him you have already caught up on the cost laid out - has he not heard the saying "happy wife = happy life"?

Congratulations on your new saw. The Hegner will give you many years of joy. It will take a bit of getting used to as does any new saw. We look forward to some pictures of the saw and your work.

Congrats Charlie. I’m also curious what you will think of your new Hegner.

Well I didn’t but I do have a bugle so that’s a thought.

Congratulations sounds like a great deal. I know it was not a bugle but did you play taps for your Dewalt before you delivered the Trumpet.

Made a great deal of gifts for a bunch of my friends and family. This year has been the busiest year ever and best year ever.

This little lantern I made as a gift for my wife. I am a completely new scroller. So i was very proud of me for being able to complete this.

The tray and the dragon are separate designs from Steve Good I combined. I made three of the cherry and six of the walnut. They go to various family members.

A present for my Mom, who did American Sign Language interpretation for the deaf for MANY years. I never inherited her knack for languages, so I'm pretty much stuck with the alphabet and a few choice signs usually reserved for driving. A couple of ornaments, the snowman was for my wife, and the Christmas tree went to a friend. Some more ornaments, Steve Good 3D patterns I thought would be a fun and easy cut. They were. Alex Fox pattern, a gift for my sister to go on her Wall O' Crosses. A gift for a friend of my wife's, sorta a memorial for her friend's Mom.

I made “Tree Scenery” designed by @worbler I switched it up a little. I wanted it to stand on its own without the cutout pieces, but that wasn’t working so I put the cutout pieces back in.

I made this for my daughter for Christmas. Her cat died earlier this year so I made this for her and named it the Lillie Tree. Marg

And a partridge in a pear tree! Trivet.

This is a piece I just for a lady for her office wall.

My contribution for this year. All given to friends and family. From upper left, clockwise... poplar, mahogany, soft maple, cherry.

Made this herd of reindeer to take to the market show and sold them all before I left the house to a neighbour. I know what to make next year everyone keep asking for them as I put them on my facebook page.

Been away a while......moved from Maryland to Vermont in September and just getting everything back up and running!! Spent the first few months remodeling and painting...... Put the scroll saw in a nice workshop between the two garages, but too cold to work there....even with a space heater!!....so I moved it to the workshop in the basement until spring! Working on a Christmas Sled pattern that I bought last year. Hope everyone has been well and is enjoying this Holiday Season!!! Lew

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 have a swap coming up shortly and the ornaments have to be plant related. I did sneak the Snowman in!

G'day all, Made a few decorations for tomorrow's markets. We'll see how they go Head Frame- left Jarrah, Right Pine My 1st Christmas -Left Sandal Wood, Right Oregon Peace-= Hoop Pine Ply Noel - Left Pine, Right Jarrah Just have to thread ribbons through them. The baby photo is my Grandson, He will be 14 on Wednesday. Time doesn't stand still for no man.

Awesome. You did a fabulous job. Marg

I agree, we are our own worst critics. They look terrific and I bet the customer loved them. Don't be so hard on yourself and don't look so closely. Marg

Great project. The lighting effect is very cool! Enjoy your new Hegner! Rob

Very nice and perfect for the season.

That works really well per the request. Nice work Thanks for showing us.

Those really are great looking. A+

They look really nice Ron, Well done! Bob

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"

I was given a lot of thick free epay today. I was told it's very dense and hard and heavy. I asked if it can float for being as heavy as it is. My cutting is off, the wrong blade I think. First time trying Epay. The wood makes you slow down.

Sorry I posted this first in the general section so will try again.This one is the second one for my special customer & am now working on number three.This is 12" x 7" & was cut using No1 penguin silver reverse blades..cheers Peter.
