Hi everybody. I just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for being a part of Scroll Saw Village. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I'm continually amazed at what you folks come up with. It is truly inspiring. I hope 2019 brings you happiness and everything you hoped for...and maybe a little extra shop time, too. Happy Holidays, everybody.

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.

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

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!

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.

Well, the wife was out of town visiting a friend, and took the offspring with her to visit Grandma...so someone had to valiantly stay behind and make sure the dogs didn't get up to any shenanigans. And keep the saw from getting lonely. Finished up a Steve Good pattern (at least, I think its one of his) for my wife, not sure where we're going to stash it Tried an idea I had for some scrap 2x4's I picked up at Lowes (yay free scrap wood!!!). Trimmed off the rounded edge of one side, to give myself a smooth, flat face to work with, then set my table saw fence for 1.5" and was rewarded with two 1.5"x1.5" lengths. Perfect for compound cuts...such as the 3D chess set pattern I just bought from Sue Mey's site. Just wish she'd included a separate page of nothing but pawn patterns. Finally, a nifty little cutting (if I do say so myself) of a pattern I did the other day, because truly, Mondays suck. My wife may have squee'd a bit, she likes the little grumpy guy. We're off to grab dinner, I'll finish cleaning up the feathers and staining it later tonight, maybe tomorrow morning before yet another long drive to visit family 4 hours away so that nobody's feelings get hurt....yay. Seasons greetings and all that humbug.

Hope all you scrollsawer's have a great holiday.

wishing you all a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas to all. I hope you were all good boys and girls over the last year, Santa knows... Snowflakes are cool Travis! Russell

this is my third year doing craft shows and i’ve learned so much! I made my own portable display and am keeping track of the fairs that do good or not. I did 10 craft shows with an average of $500 sales. I’m very pleased with this! Here is my display! Merry Christmas to all!

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

Thank you Travis for all you do to keep the zvillage here and up and running for all of us to use, enjoy, and communicate with fellow scrollers all over the world.Merry Christmas to you and yours. Merry Christmas to all our Village friends and May Santa have been good to each and everyone, I look forward to sending 2019 here and seeing what you each are crafting and sharing and learning. God bless .

Made me laugh! simple one for you looks great!!!

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 delivered it yesterday & hung it on the wall in his shop....he loved it & I did wish him great success.....he won’t get much business from me since I’m bald....but have grown a full beard & he will be giving me a trim.....

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

Merry Christmas Travis, the snow flakes are a nice touch.

Merry Christmas to everyone on SSV and there families have a safe one.

Thank you for your nice comments! Last year 3 of us cut puzzles only and they were all gone by Christmas at the Toys for Tots store. At least the parents love giving them to the kids. This year I put on a scroll saw workshop for club members and got 6 of us cut puzzles and toy cars/trucks and doubled our donation. At least two members upgraded and bought a new scroll saw. More club members will be trained in 2019. Yes, we have fun. 40 members total with about 20+ active. We have scrollers, wood turners, furniture makers, and a canoe maker. Our club president currently teaches woodworking at the John Campbell Folk School near Murphy, NC We meet monthly and do shop tours of members, wood supply houses, shops of interest in the area and members conduct workshops/seminars in their specialty. Members are always called on to donate handmade items for neighborhood charities including the volunteer firemen, church lady gala, and garden club; these items are then auctioned off. bb

Merry Christmas to you Travis and your family, lot’s of Christmas cheers and happy time. Thanks for your hard work, it is really appreciated.

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Merry Christmas to you and yours Travis. Thanks for all you do for the village.

Merry Christmas Travis & Family keep up the good work . Great outfit Roly

Thanks Merry Christmas.

Loos terrific, well done. Marg

I saw the ones that I cut a couple of years ago thanks to your generosity in doing the patterns for me, my daughter hangs them on her tree. Great work Gordie and heres to another 236 next year. Marg

Very much so! I'm an introvert, so getting "grounded" or "sent to my room" as a kid/teen was pretty much the opposite of the punishment that my parents thought it was. Thank you sir!

Merry Christmas to everyone here in the Village..

Bingo, you hit pay dirt!!!

Bois de arc or wood of the bow. The plains Indians used it for making their bows. Yes the Osage orange name comes from that tribe.

I think you outdid yourself with this one. I love it. I have to see if I can find the pattern for that. My granddaughter would love that.

WoW, those are different. Great looking.

very nice work

Excellent wood selection and craftsmanship. Well done! Keith

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

Merry Christmas Dan! Thanks! This is way better than what a sign shop would have to offer!! What an inviting sign to see!!!

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.

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.
