As you know I like to make layered pattern and projects. My last patterns are shadowbox animal scenes. I thought it will be interesting to make some holiday patterns at such style. And Halloween is first one Size 7,5 x 7,5 inch, 6 layers 1/8 inch thickness Video of making Halloween project (YouTube)

Eyebrow Studio Business Card Holder Eyebrow studios are popping up all over the place and of course they have business cards they like to get out to the public. I had one customer ask me if I could design one for her studio, so I came up with this little item. I pass it on in case any of you would like to make one for your eyebrow stylist. I cut mine from several woods. I used cherry for the backing 1/4" and glued that to a 1/4" maple base. The eyeball and brow in the front acts as a card stopper and I cut mine from 1/4" padauk. Free Pattern available from my Free Pattern Page: http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm By the way, I also have a scrollsaw eBook of 18 business card holder patterns available in my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/listing/696290564/business-card-holder-pattern-ebook-for?ref=shop_home_active_1 You can download it for immediate use. These are a good assortment of holders for different businesses and usually sell quite well on line and at craft shows.

Sooo they put the supposedly environmentally good stuff in a plastic container? Duh, that makes sense...

I have been taking this mag. sor several years now and find about 4 things to make per year the last was from last spring it was a fretwork shelf which came out real nice I put it on bragging page . I gave it to my neighbor who is a great help to us. I am 80 and she is 78 so we sometimes need help and she will not toke money so I made it for her. IKE

Many years ago, my wife and I vacationed in New England and decided to take a flight from Hyannis to Nantucket. PBA Airlines used to fly DC-3's to the island. The flight was under an hour and we rented bikes. We pedaled down to the beach for a few hours and then came back to the town for lunch and then flew back that afternoon. It was kind of unusual to walk up hill to our seats but the sound of those old radial engines was great. I've had the DC-3 on my scroll saw bucket list for a long time. I found a nice picture and started gobbling pixels on Paint 3D. The picture is 15 x 9 on 1/8" BBPW with a 1/4" backer. Shellac/lacquer finish. Love those old planes! Some history on PBA Airlines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincetown-Boston_Airlines

You can take any intarsia pattern and cut out of a single piece of wood. Then you can shape and stain/paint the various pieces. It is called segmentation and pieces made this way can be a beautiful and rewarding as any intarsia. Though I would suggest poplar vs pine as poplar stains and paints better.

I do this with blog posts and articles through Pocket

respirator and something like that WEN air filter hanging in the air is almost a necessity with WRC. Sanding is worse than cutting, but it is a pretty wood.

Slowly, slowly catch the monkey. Keep doing a little at a time and keep the thought of lots of lovely free wood and imagine all you could make out of it. That will keep you going. !!!

Excellent pattern and cutting. I have a fascination with all WW1 and WW2 planes. In the early to mid 60's I was allowed on board a Dakota at the Kalgoorlie airport. It was fitted with stretchers and used by the RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service)

It hasn’t happened to me. Looking at the label it says CLEEN STRIP GREEN. It also says 65% Renewable content which means its recycled. Also in Spanish it say SUBSTITUTE ODORLESS MINERAL SPIRITS. A few years ago I accidentally bought a gallon of the green stuff. I saw that it was milky. I only used it to clean my soaking pan and brushes. Did not use it for my 50/50 mixture because I didn’t know what it would do.

I just finished this one for a customer.....the poplar shadowbox frame size is 10 x 10....so the piece is about 6 inches tall......it is cut from 1/2" baltic birch ply, sanded and painted.....the quilled paper strips are 1/4" wide which i roll and then shape.....and of course we added some Swarovski bling, to make the piece pop.....the background paper is a very fine glitter paper that i buy at michaels.....anyway, enjoy......

SSWC does have CD collections of multiple issues. They have just released 2 new CD's.

Or RAF roundels, and it's a Dakota! I flew in one in the 1970s when I was in the air cadets (from RAF Waddington, possibly, during the annual camp trip). Luckily, we didn't have to jump out.

These are a special request by a friend. The pattern is by Sheila Landry and purchased from her site. The wood is 1/2" Ash approximately 8" x 10" and backed with 1/8" Baltic Birch plywood stained with Samen Emerald. I used FD UR #1 and #3 blades cut on an EX 21. The finish is spray Lacquer Clear Semi Gloss. Comments welcome

Found time to do some projects today. Not sure what kind of woods.

Have been re-sawing some western red cedar. I was given 1/2 doz 100mm x 100mm veranda posts. I like the smell, but but only in small doses. Had to evacuate the shed. Letting it settle before I run the boards through the thicknesser and sander. That stuff stinks.

This young man has been friends with my daughter's since they were 5yo. He is like a son to us and we are very proud. He didn't think I was going to make him a sign but have had it done for 2months now waiting for him to come home. I think he liked it

Nicely done as ALWAYS!

Threw this together this morning.....mainly out of scrap wood.....threw around colors and decided on blue for hat & feet.....all 1/2” sanded plywood......24”T....comments always welcomed

I'd like to respond to that but I guess I'll have to contact you directly.

I use very little WRC. It the only wood that gives me an allergic reaction. That's with using a dust mask, dust collector, AND a air filter. Too bad because I really like the look of it and how nice it is to cut and sand.

Those autocorrects on typos can get hilarious can't they! Teach me to type on my iPad without my reading glasses late at night and not proof read before hitting "submit".

terrific work

Thank you sir!! That really means a lot to me!! Appreciate it!!

There's no keeping a good man down. Another two nice ones Kev.

Very nice Kevin. Love Aromatic Cedar

It worked just fine but was a curiosity not having that happen before. I does mean I'll have to shake it to keep things in suspension.

If it does what you want, then don’t worry about it!

Seems to work well but seemed weird to me.

A. K. being A. K. AGAIN!

I knew the RAF used em, too, but couldn't remember what they called it. They were also used as tugboats for glider troops (Brit, Canadian, and US, I believe?). Hard to imagine a plane powerful enough to haul a load of troops with balls of solid brass through the skies, but the DC3 did it.

Thanks for the memories. My first flight was on a TRANS CANADA AIRLINES DC3 from Kapaskasing to Toronto in 1951.

Another great pattern of a big 'standard' in the aircraft world. I hope I get a chance to cut and add this one to your pattern that I have cut. Always awesome patterns Dick heppnerguy

Superior cutting skills!!! Beautiful!!!

My folks use to own a home on Whidbey Island. Beautiful place to live.

Beautiful Work!!!

I got to see first hand the ramps closed and the water over the roads. Had to back my fifth wheel up about a half mile due to taking a wrong turn to a campground. I moved away 43 years ago but still miss the fishing. I do not miss the humidity though. .

Nice job on that sign. What's not to like. Love the wood you used.

A couple of trivet Christmas gifts (still have one more on the saw) I cut this weekend. The owl was found in the Pattern Library, Superman and Wonderwoman patterns came from Google Images. 1x8 whiteboard from Lowes, used Pegas #3MG. I'll probably stain em a dark color (Minwax Provincial or Espresso, as I'm now out of Dark Walnut).

you've made him happy, very nice job

awesome you got that boy as a sun that is lovely gift for him it is really great, have a visiting of person who have known for a long time as a family

The look on his face says it all. A gift to treasure. Awesome xxx

An Awesome job!!!Yea I,d say he Liked it.

Bill, they are really easy to cut. You will want to stack cut. I cut four per stack. Fortunately for me, I have a planer so it’s easy to come up with 1/8” material. I used Aleen’s tacky glue instead of CA glue. The tacky glue sets up real fast and you don’t need to clamp. I built a little glue up jig tp align the roof pieces to the back.

-- For those Hegner users with the knurled "quick-clamp" knob option : One way to add "comfort" to using it for long stretches is to slip a pair of snug fitting model car (r/c toy car?) miniature rubber tires over the knurling, in a side-by-side setup...A tight fitting size is best, possibly even requiring warming the tires first in hot water for a tight stretch-on install...After many hours of use, my outside tire eventually "wore off" - via the knurling eventually "rasping" the inner mounting surface of the tire : a quickie slip on of a snug fitting o-ring (plumbing type) alongside the remaining tire has kept me scrolling along, without "meat tenderizing" my fingers... ~Pitts~

Finished the Steve Good Hummingbird pattern I've been working on for the past 3 or 4 days. This one was a booger for me! I encountered a bunch of new things...and problems. With a lot of advise from the forum...Thanks Everyone!! ...and a little ingenuity on my part it's done. I was going to sell this piece, but my wife claimed it...so I guess I'll be doing it again in the near future.

I have not yet received my most recent copy so I cannot say anything specific about this issue in particular yet. I will say that this is a conversation that is had regularly. If you don't do Intarsia, even one article is maybe too much for you. if you don’t do fretwork and prefer Intarsia, only one or two Intarsia patterns in an issue may not be enough. Some complain there is too many “easy” patterns having been scrolling for years. Newbies, think patterns are too difficult, and want more easy patterns, I can only imagine how difficult it is to try to make everybody somewhat happy most of the time when trying to put out a magazine for such a wide variety of areas in a hobby that covers so many types of work. I am just happy that we have a magazine and always find something in most issues that I am willing to try, Sometimes we need to go outside our comfort zone and try something new. When you consider how much a pattern can cost, I figure as long as I find one an issue, (and I usually find more than one), it has paid for its self. Do I always like everything in every issue, no but I don’t expect to. But I will say, thanks to the magazine, I have also tried things that I might not have otherwise.
