I thought Travis had a cool program... so I got it and set to work! I’ll see these 5 grandkids this weekend in KC. Fun to customize and cut.

It was the most difficult and most interesting project. It all started with my friend’s request to make his motorcycle out of wood. When I did not find examples of the Internet, I decided to make a toy in the form of a puzzle. The material took a glued pine shield 37 mm thick. It turned out that such a blank does not fit into my scroll saw. After a little alteration of the mounts, everything worked out. At first I just wanted to cut out the fragments and round out the sharp edges a little. I spent one day, but I did not like the result, so I decided to give the puzzle more realistic shapes. I have little experience with woodcarving, so I was very afraid to spoil the model with one careless movement. All the work took about three weeks. Sometimes the work was done quickly, and on some days I just sat and looked at the individual parts and tried to imagine its future form. Of course I didn’t show my friend the whole process of work, but when he saw a photograph of the finished puzzle, he said only one phrase: “Shut up and take my money.”

This is an Alexfox pattern I did the cutting, my wife did the painting and I put it together. Another gift done.

Hi recentely I couldn't do sawing and drawing much Korea is getting cold I neeta fix fireplace in my working place I also opened ETSY shop last week there is 10patterns if you like some feel free to send me a massage(I got village price for members) https://www.etsy.com/shop/Namunolie and today I made Humpback whale I made this puzzle to say we should save whales for our childrens hunting whales is big issue around my country Humpback whale youtube

First week of scrolling, no pc yet so just drew on the wood, only one blade that came with the saw can't wait to get my new pc to make some patterns

I made several of the Steve Good layered manger ornaments as presents. His pattern was for a 4" diameter but I found this too large and made some 3", 2-1/2" and 2" The small one was getting difficult for me to cut but made it through. I stack cut these 4 at a time from 1/8" Baltic Birch ply. The finish was Watco Danish Oil and then either shellac or lacquer.

Thanks and the same to all. Very quiet one for me and my wife. Just us and a pork loin. We had turkey last week. But, we are so very thankful for this great land we live in.

Customer requested a Boba Fett picture. I had to Google to find out who it was. Found a pattern that would work on Etsey. I don't know if you can tell by my picture but it is nothing but islands.......a real pain in the butt to glue and mount.

I know am very new to this and not very good yet but I looked at my profile and it says " Rank Scroller " lol thought that was a bit harsh how to make a newbie feel good about his work lol

Wishing everyone a Happy ThanksgivingDon't eat to much.

I used that piece to line up my pieces when I glued them in. I cut it apart and did a section at a time so I could get it out.

It looks great. Next time, save the black part like it is a big outline and just put the wood colored pieces back in. of course it all will line up and go right together. The only trick to this techniques is to make sure your drill holes are in corners of in the black parts so you cannot see them. Looks great!!

Finishing up items for my craft sale on Saturday. Was very excited to find a local supplier of Unicorn Spit stain. Love the colours and ease of application.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your families. Enjoy a great day.

Ugly old goat sounds like an aftershave u get for Xmas from an old auntie lol

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my SSV brothers & sisters. Eat lots and have a wonderful day.

And why would try to ruin Thanksgiving? Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American brothers we had our awhile back, lot’s of good time with family and friends and also good food but most important great football games.

Here is my set up for tomorrow's craft sale. Will follow up after the sale!

Well done, Sir! Great work.

Cool!

Frank I love the two color version in the post above.

Hi Travis, it's 12:00 noon on Thanksgiving Day and I;m attempting to purchase your Personalized Ornament Kit through PayPal. I get a message that PayPal is not working and I should try again, which I have. I will continue to try through the weekend, hopefully I am not doing some thing wrong. I hope you and your family enjoy the holiday!

I just grabbed mine, can't wait to get started playing around with it.

@octoolguy, messing around in the basement yesterday and I came across the trivet I made out of Corian. Then later when in bed looking at old magazines I came across the article I read that was about cutting Corian. The magazine is the SSW "Holiday Ornaments Toy and Gifts Volume 2" Finding the two related item on the same day must be an omen or something, though I'd better post or or I might turn to dust or something...

Those are great! Yearly tradition?

OK I have made a decision. and am going to close the poll early. Counting the folks who only expressed their vote in words rather than using the poll, the results here are: painted: 20 unpainted: 3 Adding in people who I asked in person, the results are: painted: 27 unpainted: 5 By the way, I did vote and I voted on the loosing side. I did listen to folks who suggested something other than 'all black' colour. In keeping with the dragon flies that I know well, I left the body black, but changed the wings to silver: This is what I will do for the 5 of these that I will give to others. But I, personally, still like the subtle look of all wood, so will make one unpainted and with a wood backing for myself:

great job, they're beautiful

nice job

Thanks Travis, Will grab it tonight. I always give my nieces & nephews an ornament for Christmas, but don't have 5 to order from Steve. Looking forward to this for next year!!

Being old and grey, I never thought of that. Brilliant

This is a very impressive work! I like this meticulous finishing.

Well done! Success to your store.

Beautiful work and a great display. You'll do well. Have fun.

Butt you did it. Well done Dave.

Very clever and nice puzzle. I really like it. I also appreciate your concern for the Humpback whale.

I have neuropathy and arthritis in my hand so when I am using the mouse on the computer I have difficulty controlling the pointer I have the pointer turned sown as slow as can be but still my mouse slides around my desk so easily that I still have trouble. I have found a solution that works for me. Rubber shelf liner. It slows the mouse and therefore slows the pointer giving me better control.

I've also changed my mouse over. Keeps my wife from using it!

You become an ugly old goat... no other way! I probably smell like one also....

Pain in the butt yea...but you did a fantastic job of it! I think I'll pass though...lol.

Wish you had told me that before I ate to much. Happy thanksgiving everyone.

Those are the best, I usually just bridge the crap out of them and continue my merry way.

Do NOT use a reverse tooth blade. DO use a small blade or a puzzle blade.

I have already made layered bee project (it was ornament style), but this time I wanted to make more realistic pattern Video of making Bee project Bee pattern

It hurt to do this one as I am a charger's fan. It is a very bad picture from my very bad phone.

No, it says Rank: "Scroller" Don't complain, mine says Rank: "Ugly Old Goat". !!! Now that is something to whine about,, but if it fits???

Did this one today

Painted but not as dark,

Very nice barb, Hope you bring none home from your show. Now, I must admit, you had me buggered with the "Unicorn Spit". My 1st thought was "She's having a lend" . and I must admit I looked up Unicorn Spit and it is not in the same shop as Rocking horse Sh*t.

One of my favorite movies. And I spell it wrong. lol. Maybe I’ll just cut the name off. Pattern is by Neptune from the SSV library
