The next day or two will be hectic for everybody so in order to give everybody a chance to see it, I extend this greeting from Barb and me. Merry Christmas to all of my wonderful Scroll Saw Village friends. Thank you all for putting up with me for the last year. Have a wonderful and safe holiday season.

Just put this one together......pleased the way it turned out....its 24"T x 23"W.....this is for a good friend of mine opening his new barber shop Jan. 2nd........he had to do a career change after suffering a heart attack in 2017....I wish him great success & I hope this sign welcomes his guests.....has the local HS logo & colors (Red & Black....Fulton Steamers)......the white crackle paint has a yellowish tint to it to make it look more aged I think......comments appreciated as always....ty & Merry Christmas!

These are just a few ornaments that I have made this year. The blue ones are patterns by Sue Mey, I made them for a Secret Santa and my letter was I, which meant that I had to come up with something starting with that letter. Not an easy task. Anyway these are Intricate and have Indigo backing. I know Indigo is slightly darker but this is my interpretation. I have forgotten what any of the wood were, some of the patterns came from Sue Mey, some from The Village Ornaments for Charity book. Hope you like them. Marg Forgot to mention that it is Glitter Paper on the blue ones.

I made this pattern and cut is specially for my friend for wedding day laminated MDF, 3mm, 4 layers pattern is available at https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexFoxUA

This is based off one of my favorite band's new album (Post Apocalypto) It may not be everyone's favorite but it was fun to build.

I have been making these personalized Christmas bells for the last seven years or so.I make them from1/8th birch ply,paint them white and spray them with glitter.sell at flea narket,local buy and sell and word of mouth for $5 each.Each year I figure sales will die off but people love their names...this year I made and sold 236 bells.

Finished another Christmas gift. This is one of Pedro’s designs from finescrollsaw

Here is a gift to all of you wonderful scroll saw men and women across the world. This is my other passion and I hope a sound file comes through on this forum. Merry Christmas! Blake silent night recording 2.mp3

Hope all you scrollsawer's have a great holiday.

I was asked to make this for a friend, I love doing these name plaques. She seems quite pleased with it.

When I saw this pattern posted, I reacted to it with, "I guess I will have to get on this one fast" and Sam replied that he would be waiting to see it cut. So I got it cut and finished last night. My wife really liked it and so did I Dick heppnerguy

Finished this Firefighter Plaque, Sue Mey pattern.

I used pattern SLDK459 from Sheila Landry's website and made a few adjustments. I increased the size to 110% and cut and past the patterns designed to go on multiple boards to apply to the single Ocooch oak plywood in the 16 in by 24 in size. This is now hanging in our church's Adult Bible Study classroom.

A few of this years ornaments. Marg

Want to wish all my SSV friends a merry Christmas and a Happy new Year. Ralph!

Nope , this is Osage, a small town in north central Minnesota. (The picture that says, Eat here, get gas & worms). Population 150? We vacation on Straight Lake, just a stones throw from Osage. Name of the place is Osage Bait and Taclke. Good burgers and cold beer. Picture credit goes to Karl, who posted the picture 11/21 in Coffee House, under Signs. Sorry Jim, I couldn't resist.

Merry Christmas to you too from over here, and may the New Year bring you all you wish for. xxx

Lovely, how do you paint them so nice ? Whenever I've tried painting it looks like an Irish man has done it after 3 pints of Guiness. and believe me I know, I married an Irish man.

I wanted to try something different the other day so I made these. The anchor and ship are on one block.

Just finished this one up.....the real reason for the season....36" W x 31"T .....2x6 lumber for everything except roof, they are 1x6....chunk of treated wood for the manger....added a little straw too...spray painted colonial red knocked down with sander.....comments are always appreciated....ty

I ran out of room, and though I love my tools, had to destash the Hawk BM26 and Dw788. I tried to love the Hawk, it just wasn't happening for me, and definitely not suitable to my primary type of work. The Ex and King are my primary and I have the Hegner for making puzzle boxes and such. I could have saved you a ton on a Hawk BM26 I really have mixed feelings about Bushton the company, and there are more than a few things about the BM model that drove me nuts. Working with Bushton was a mixed experience for sure. There were design decisions that made me shake my head, and after I spent some time on the saw to get used to the mechanics, it still was not a great user experience for me. For me personally, there was no magic. For others, it seems this saw is nothing but awesome, but different strokes for different folks. Each saw has it's fans and it's critics, so I'm hoping your experience with it is great. Which laser did you get?

To bad you are so far away. I have a VS 226 Ultra I would give you a super deal on.

I'm guessing these are the last three ornaments for the year. The name ornament is one my wife saw online made from metal and wanted me to try and duplicate. Not as hard to cut as it is to remove pattern and then sand, very delicate pieces hanging in there. I don't mind being fussy cutting without breaking, but then breaking trying to remove pattern or sand.

Yeah Kevin, I don't know if the CNC will do what I'm hoping it will do. I know I have the pattern the way I won't it in (whatever software I have for the CNC). But there is only one way to find out, and if it doesn't work out then I will use it to make folks signs like I have been asked many times to do. Either way I'm going to find something for that CNC to do so it doesn't become a $1200.00 boat anchor in my garage.

I finished the Christmas Bells that I am going to go hang on the door knobs some of my family members. The bottom two are Mahogany and the top three are BB, two sprayed with gold color paint and backed with felt. The other stained and painted. These were really fun. I will hopefully get started earlier next year and give to more people.

A few Christmas gifts for family and friends made up from left over wood from my intarsia projects over the past couple of years. Amazing how one can loose the knack for word art and fret work. Patterns are basically Steve Goods but with modifications to all with Inkscape. Actually that was a good in understanding Inkscape better.

made this recently,cut it from 5mm ply,stack cut it 3 pieces, sheila landry pattern

Soon as I saw Kirk's aka Rabid Alien I had to cut it. I had the pattern printed in red for these tired old eyes. I used 1/2" Cedar cutting it with a #3 Pegas MG blade. Now that it is cut I don't know what to do with it. I'll glue it to a backer but have no idea how to make a frame. I'm thinking of just getting some door trim and staining it. Hopefully I can make an adequate miter cut.

Hit it with a hammer. If it leaves a dent in the hammer, that is osage orange.

finished this piece earlier this summer,ive made it over 24 months on and off,in fact this is my second time making this piece,i donated the first one to the local hospital,this one im keeping myself,made from mahogany,ash,pine

Finished up this little guy the other day. I posted a request for a pattern of my boss’ dog and was lucky enough a nice person was able to make a pattern for me. I’m new to scrolling and hope to one day repay the favor to someone else. The frame was custom made by me as well. Thanks for looking.

I guess there is logic in there somewhere. Good luck.

I used a pattern I'd gotten from Scroller Limited years ago. It was supposed to be mounted on rough cut wood, I had made some of projects of this type before and the rough wood is a dust magnet. I used 1/4" plywood for the background and used stencils to spray the snow and sky along with the clouds. The Santa and other things in the picture are cut from 1/8"BB plywood. I used diluted acrylic paint to stain the various parts of the picture. The frames are made from 1x2 pine, I cut a rabbit in the back for the plywood and a 1/8" groove to put glass in the front of the frame to keep dust out.

Have been on holidays since last Thursday, Xmas shopping all done and the wife is happily quilting. Time to make some sawdust. Wolf by @Kenny Hopkins, saddle I found on Pinterest and three from Anniki Lykke Sorenson (saw the owl and elves patterns and had to cut them). Jeff

OK ok, there is a man version of this. Jeeeeeez lol

LOL, I have had the 20" and the 26 in my shopping cart on and off contemplating what one to buy for 4-5 days now... Yeah the smaller 20" is more than enough for the projects I do.. and.. I do have the 226 Ultra.. My thought was really at some point I may have a need to just keep one saw if I keep buying other tools and filling my shop up.... The newest one and the one with the variable blade adjustment just made more sense to buy and keep if I were to sell off the others at some point.. and my thinking was.. I have the cash now.. and at some point I decide to let the other two Hawks go and buy another new one.. it will be easier to come up with the $200 less later than right now while I have the funds too... maybe.. LOL If.. I end up really liking the BM series.. it's very possible I'll sell my Ultra and the 220 and make another purchase for the 20" saw next year..

Here are a couple of ornaments I did last year. I send my nieces and nephews an ornament every year just to say I am thinking of you.

I do a couple of shows each year so have made a lot of stuff. But this is what we do for family and close friends. We send special cards with a sentiment written by my wife. I print them on Photo frame cards. I cut 37 ornaments 1.5mm Finish plywood. Stack cut. Then mounted with removable sticky dots on the card. We have been doing this since 2005. It is one of those ideas that has gotten out of control but we love it. Unfortunately I have no pictures of the bigger items I made for sale such as a modified version of this Intarsia nativity the picture is last years.

I just completed this Guitar Clock for a Christmas present for my son who plays and repairs guitars. The pattern is by Steve Good. The wood is a beautiful piece of 1/2 inch Persimmon that I purchased from Richard’s Craft Wood this fall at the Woodworking Extravaganza in Hickory NC.

This is for my Grandson-in-law, who owns a barber shop in Paducah, KY. He just opened last year and the name on this is from his logo. The pattern is another one from Steve Good, which I added the name to. It is cut from 1/4" BB for the overlays and 1/2" BB for the backer, which is painted red. I got the movements from Bear Woods.

Another item I have gone through this year is this reindeer pattern. Some of them, i drilled the ears and put 12mm gold hoops as earrings. Don't have pictures of any with earrings.

Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas Blake. Happy New Year.

Great work. I like it.

Merry Christmas Ray and have a Happy Healthy prosperous New Year.

Ray, I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

Wow, that is truly incredible! Amazing work.

Hey Kevin, isn't there a restaurant in Saginaw where you can get a BLT with a pound or two of bacon in it. Add some greasy fries and you can feed all five and be a real hero for probably 30 bucks.

And a partridge in a pear tree! Trivet.
