If anyone is looking for a challenge, here it is! I think there was 2 million pilot holes, give or take a million, at least it felt like it was that many! It is a great pattern, but it is a tough one to cut. This was made for a friend to raffle off to raise money for the national wildlife turkey federation. I left the plastic on the frame for shipping.

And surprise, surprise.... another pattern by Botas Helder. Very cute owl. I think.

Made from shop scraps. About a foot wide and 10-1/2 inches tall. Real wood trim. Barn pattern by T & E designs and the tractor is a free internet pattern that was highly modified for this project. Hooks are new,

My new clock. Walnut and oak.

I got a lot of positive feedbacks about my first shadowbox (Deer scene) Here is second one - Sea turtle Video of making shadow box Sea turtle Pattern

So a motorcycle asked to be make and paint him 1 of my motorcycles in Fluorescent Orange. This is made out of 3/4" Poplar with one coat of Florescent Red-Orange paint on it. Wow it's bright. Just a fair warning "please get your sunglasses". This is a Steve Good pattern. Thanks Jim

Finished today a Steve Good Pattern

Steve Good pattern made out of Spanish Cedar.

So the end of term is upon us again and my lad wanted me to make something for his teacher and shown me a picture of something that he liked that holds a bar of chocolate and this is the end result.

Steve Good pattern. 3/4" Red Oak with three coats of wipe-on poly. Not the kind of thing I usually do, but I just felt like. Is this a great hobby?!!

Was trying to figure out some things with some rescued wood. I do not know the species of any except the lighter colored horse; I believe to be oak The bases are about 1-1/2 in thick and the length is about 3-1/2 inches with them being just over 4" tall.. Very open to suggestions on the final finish coating! Thanks. Pattern? is a modified silhouette from free internet sources.

I spent 3 hrs on the road for my craigs list find Old forge Pa.. Bargain priced $300.I'll post pictures in a day or so.

First box First Inlay First flocking ( the top is the same size as the bottom, just camera perspective makes it look like that)

I made this for the Mrs last weekend. Frame is cherry

Dad & Son Table Sign Pattern Well, the tree is made of wood and the guitar is made from the wood of the tree, so I guess you could call it Father and Son. In any even this might make a good gift for a musician or just a general sign for a dad. I cut mine from cherry and used the off cut to make an interesting serrated base to mount it on. You can download the free pattern from my Free Pattern Page:

Thank for the kind words Here is a picture of my saw. My serial # 7777

I think the Titebond equivalent is their "Quick and Thick" . I like using it. I have not tried the Weldbond yet.

Nice job. I am sure the recipient will love it. Thanks for showing. @lawson56 as a fellow Tennessean, that is sacrilegious to say you don’t like orange. course, this orange is not quite the right shade anyway. I bleed orange. But, purple may be my favorite color at least when not bringing college sports into it.

That is a "HOOT" I know -bad pun! Very cute owl though!

I will try slowing down until l I get it right;t then decide what brand I will run Thanks for your input IKE

Yes, for sure. I only know of one person who get a better deal. Heh heh heh!

I use Weldbond all the time and it does have a quick set up time. It is really great to use with the Grandkids as they have no patience to wait. Also, Carole Rathman use on all her bowls. I have been using lately to glue BB to High Gloss paint and it works fantastic. See picture. I transfer to the accordion squeeze bottle and a few drops are enough. My bet is that your glue was old. If you are close to the US border visit a Canadian Tire and they carry it 2 sizes.

Another Helder Botas pattern.

These were real popular years ago.. was going through inventory and ran across them.. Use to sell them on my website but then when I shut the site down they never made it to any of the other sites.. Guess I better get them up for grabs again.. Amazing how many projects I've made that either never made it to the websites or I move websites around and never get them all back online... Anywaythese was one of my favorite to make.. and sell.. somehow they got lost with my A.D.D. Pink for girls and blue for boy... also did green for neutral not pictured These are cut from 1/4" BB ply and I used a foam sheet backer and then screwed small screws in to hold the sawtooth hanger..

Latest project. This one might be a personal favorite.

Hi All This is the first sign that I have ever created. This is a surprise gift for a family member. Just wanted to share 24" x 14", rustic hardwood with 5 coats of gloss polycrylic Have a great day! Ed

We had good pizza in Philadelphia, but here in Texas not so good congratulations on the saw, RJ

I'll keep that in mind if I picture any others I make, appreciate the thoughts and kind words I think that curly maple (Rodeo box) is my new favorite wood. I love that optical illusion the grain provides

GOO GOOGLY GOO!!! Now that is just Down Right AWESOME!!!!Has your eyes straitened out yet?

I just started using the Shark Blades,I haven't been using them that long,but so far I am really impressed.I like the length of time they last,cutting 1/4 luon,The smooth way they cut.

That truly is a sweet piece

AH, Icabod Crane-Modern Version! Very neatly done!

This looks like the one I bought.. I really like it for gluing the painted / stained backers. I think it would be a decent glue for wood to wood gluing.. I normally use titebond III for wood to wood..

Kevin, I had the exact same experience. But, in reverse. I was used to using Pegas #5 blades and for some unknown reason, I decided to try some FD blades. All of a sudden I couldn't keep them going straight. I had to really push to one side to stay on the line. I love me some PEGAS!

That's great. You bought a great saw and got to see some nice scenery. If you have never used a Hawk, take the time to visit Bushton Mfg. website and view the "getting started" video. Especially how to adjust the tension. If not done right you'll swear that your blades are all too short. Don't ask me how I know that.

I use Duck brand shelf material very often. But there are times when cutting a piece with lots of fine detail I prefer a little greater tack so I use painters tape. With fine detail using shelf liner the pattern lifts on small detail. I use a roller to apply the shelf liner, then use a small Delrin burnisher making sure the liner is securely fastened to the wood. Hence the question about painter's tape. JT supplied a helpful 3M chart showing properties of the various tapes. It shows a lower tack purple tape.

Oh they would still be a hit now. They look terrific. You will get lots of orders I bet. Marg

A recent one that I did .It is a pattern by Trapper for my very good customer.

That turned out great !....Very nice Rod.

Another great piece Peter, well done. Marg

Another project just finished. A Celtic Cross with Dragons. It is cut in Baltic Birch and finished with sanding sealer and a coat of cellulose lacquer. Hope you like it.

Pattern by Sue Mey from issue #69, Winter 2017 of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts. Backer is 1” Black Walnut. The stable is 1/2” Poplar. Joseph and Mary are Cherry. The Donkey is Mahogany. The Shepherd is Beach and the lamb is Poplar. Cut with Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse blades ranging from #1 to a #9. Soaked in a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. After 24 hours, top coated with Deft semi gloss spray lacquer. All of the pieces in the two sets I cut were cut from scrap Hardwoods.

Seeings believing,These are the best!

New sign for our new garage. First attempt at pattern making. First cut after cataract surgery. Was good to be in the shop again.

1x12 whiteboard, Pegas #3MG blade. Yep...this'll go to work with me.

I haven’t finish this but I am liking it as it is. Alex did a good job on the pattern!

Picture from internet Order from cousin.

This Charles Hand one I posted a while back had 305 pilot holes. Don’t think this was close to that
