Let's see if my phone will upload my work since January

Work I,ve been doing.Looks like I messed up the computer as to why I can,t upload since January.all these are sent from my phone.

This is the first video I have ever done so don't expect much. This was my setup at the festival the last weekend in April. It was a 2 1/2 day event. It is usually attended by around 200,000 people. It was my first year to participate. Booth rental was $350, which to me was really pricey. My spot was under a large canopy so I didn't have to worry about the rain. At the end of the event I decided it was a bargain. Art show.mp4

Well I finished my Grandsons sword holder. I made it out of 3/4 poplar and it measures 20 long x 9 high. I made it so it holds two swords instead of one and added a little red dragon to the top because I thought it needed something. There's no pattern for this. I just downloaded some pictures and kinda pieced it all together. Hope he likes it

I posted this project awhile ago but it fits here. The flower and petals are made of thin wood shavings. The Monarch is wood with epoxy fill.

In keeping with Alien's theme, I did this, then the wife liked it and took it, so naturally I made it for her

I originally planned to wait and see if these really work but, this challenge came up so, maybe other members want to try it also. You can buy these professionally made but, I just used scrap pine. Height about 5 3/4", Width about 4". 1/4" dowels abt 1 1/2" and mesh material to put cotton, dog hair, twine or other materials a Hummingbird can use to start a nest. I used the easy way out and just cut one side of the roof 3/4" longer than the other side to over-lap but, it could be miter cut.

I think I have posted these here before, but they are some of the most recent ones I have cut.

This clock was made from beech wood (the body) and white walnut wood (the disk). Covered with liquid oil

If Spring is in the air then that means love is too.. A Sue Mey design.

I watched Event Horizon a couple weeks ago and got motivated.

In spring, women bloom.... Spring.... love is in the air

I'll kick it off with a couple of flower's I've made for my wife. The first was something I found on Pinterest while searching for Celtic Knots. I couldn't find any info on the original artist. The second is a Steve Good pattern, and after making one for my wife, I got a request to make another for a friend to give to her husband on their anniversary.

Just finished my remembrance lantern, it's the same Steve good pattern just modified a little VID_20190506_214050.mp4

If you have ever been in a doctor's office or the hospital, you know the importance of the nurse. Out of respect for their position in the medical world I submit RN Keep The Beat. Might make a nice gift for a nurse you know. I cut mine from a thick slab of Peruvian Walnut and used the off cut to shape a wave pattern for the top layer of the base. As with the Golf Club pattern, I placed the assembly on a slab of pine and finished it all off with a clear spray. This was another pattern request from a donor to this page. Free Pattern Available:

One of my Free Page donors asked if I could do several patterns, so I will be posting those as I complete them. This is the first for golfers, following the idea of the Archery Club I designed earlier. I cut this one from 1/4" walnut and used the off cut reshaped for the top layer of the base. I used pine for the bottom of the base. Free Pattern available:

This is a revision of an old project. Years ago I tried relief carving a red oak trivet. I did not have the right tools or skills, so I set it aside for another time. Not long ago I heard my granddaughter and some of her friends were moving into an apartment for their senior year at college. Looking for something unique to give granddaughter for an "apartment warming" present I came across the old trivet. I decided maybe I could do a better job scrolling the lettering instead of carving. I used the old lettering for a pattern, dividing it into two trivets - a small one for bowls and pans, a larger one for casseroles and large pans. Trivets are 3/4" poplar stained with GF nutmeg gel stain, topcoated with clear shellac and three coats of wipe-on satin Arm-R-Seal. When I made my first trivets several years ago I worried if a hot bowl or pan would scorch the wood or melt the finish. Another woodworker had tested finishes for reactions to heat or other liquids/chemicals. Arm-R-Seal came out on top. To test it myself, I placed a single sheet of typing paper over a trivet and placed an iron on its highest setting on the trivet. After two minutes the paper was lightly scorched, but there was no damage to the trivet. The Arm-R-Seal came through with no softening or any other distress. I have kept track of those first trivets - they were given to family members - and after five years they have all weathered well with only normal wear from abrasions along the edges. All-in-all the poplar and Arm-R-Seal combination holds up well.

Well I have been very busy and enjoying it. Finished this one today. Got the pattern from Scroller. and the designer is White Tail Designs. LTD. Thanks for looking have a great week. Mimi

I have a niece that will be graduation from high school in June. Fortunately we will be in Oregon then and should be able to attend her ceremony. I liked Steve Good's new 2119 graduation plaque and I thought that with the school colors added it should look pretty nice. Her school colors are blue, white and grey and I was able to use all three colors in making it. I have to say that I do not particularly like using 3/4 inch thick wood for plaque as Steve suggested and did it all in 1/4 inch BB ply. I, personally enjoy the way they came out. OH, I forgot to mention that I made two of them so she could give one to her boyfriend of other class mate that she might to give the other one to. These are approx. 8 X 10 inches, and I hope she likes it. Dick heppnerguy

Carefully mix in a small container, add colorant and carefully use it. I measure each part of the epoxy so I have the right ratio and use Bob Smith epoxy. I use a longer setting epoxy for projects like the Monarch. If you just blob it on, that is what you get.

Here's my go at it

Very nice display of your beautiful work. Glad it was a success for you.

Inspiring! Something for everyone. Though I’ve vowed personally not to ruin another good hobby by turning it into a business. Tom

very nice set-up

Egyptian protection, sometimes a curse The Eye of Horus was a resilient healer. It could bring the dead back to life. Symbols of the Eye of Horus were often placed on mummies to make the body whole again. The Eye of Horus was also often painted on coffins so that the deceased could look through the coffin. The Eye of Horus became a very powerful protection symbol against all evil and a symbol of healing. https://goodlucksymbols.com/eye-of-horus/

Very nice Dave, beautiful work I like seeing your work, lets me know I have a ways to go, always did love a challenge

Was asked to make a couple of wedding gifts. With the help of Bobscroll making the patterns I was able to do it. Used red oak & painted plywood for backer. 8” x 24” had to do some fancy standing to get my EX 21 in line to cut.

I found this free template and decided to do it with epoxy.

Went to the Dr. today, he said everything was looking good and to come out of the sling. Now for Strength Therapy. nothing over two pounds and no overhead work. A scroll saw isn't over my head!!! hahahaha

Gotta say it was a privilege watching this great pattern by Sue Mey come to life on this beautiful piece of Walnut . I looked for 3 days for a way to back it that didn't take away from it. Settled on a piece of natural slate tile. Wonderful hobby we have isn't it?

Yeah my DW788 is steel.. as all the other saws I've owned other than the ryobi I had years ago i think was Aluminum.. Old Deltas.. The old Dremel I had was steel too but I think it was the only model of Dremel that had steel table.. because the older smaller ones had aluminum too,, But anyway.. the majority of saws are steel and non coated.. So that's why I've always said.. why bother.. If kept waxed it don't rust..

Okay, quick question...I've seen several posts here and there where someone filled a scroll saw project with epoxy of varying colors. Does anyone have the process for that (or a link to a site?) My experience with epoxy has been "mix it up, blob it on, and make sure nothing else gets glued down by accident".

Do you do this 24/7? Holy Smokes, that is unbelievable. That is a lot of beautiful work. I could not do that in a lifetime even if I had the talent!

Great looking bike and nice cutting.

I think their tables are steel, and would rust easily/quickly without the coating of some sort. DeWalt. Hawk, etc. are aluminum in some forum. I maybe wrong...

I have cut that one. There's nothing quick about it as I recall. Anyway, it never sold and finally I dropped it so it ended up on the firewood pile. Great cutting, it must be quite imposing at that size. Rob

This is my finished frame. The cedar really rough and irregular in thickness but with decent wood it should work out well. I just wanted a rustic look.

This is a pattern from Steve Good. I added the red felt and used a pencil torch to seal the felt. John Old Dust

So nice!!! Great work!!

As you know I like making bowl, this time I tried to make another type of bowl - compound, what do you think? Birch plywood 1/6 inch, stain, glossy varnish Fruit bowl Pattern Here is short video of making bowl: And photos:

Nice one!!!

If you look closely you'll see how we were made free.

Finished this over the weekend. Gave it to the customer yesterday. She really liked and can't wait to give it to her husband when he gets back. This is a Steve Good pattern. Thanks for looking Mimi

very nice job

Great work. Those came out beautifully!

I have tons of general purpose carpentry nails, finish nails and a few specialty nails that I've accumulated over the years. I don't use many these days, but they come in handy and I suppose my kids will be tossing them after I die. I'm left handed. When I was a teenager, my Dad (right handed) gave me my first real hammer. It was one he had that he never liked. Now Dad worked in the building trades most of his life, so he was very familiar with hammers. For some reason, he said he couldn't drive a nail straight with this one, so he gave it to me. I still have it, some 45 years later. I used it when I worked as a carpenter. I used it to build my own house and I still use it today, on the odd occasion when I actually need to drive a nail. I used to tell Dad that it didn't work for him, because it was a left handed hammer.

Now that is different. Thought this idea was dead but good to see still alive and hope more patterns come out.

Oh you have done an Excellent job!

So kool to see!!!

Very nice and what a sweet little truck... I had a '50 one once.
