Kathy Wise made this Intarsia pattern available for free. I modified to segmentation of the purple heart part. It's going to the oncology unit, where my daughter works. White Oak and Purple Heart.

I saw a pic on the net, cropped the part of the pic I liked, did a pattern, and added the fence. Aspen, Mahogany, Walnut, and red cedar too

Tryed to do some scrolling and yesterday's clean up messed me up again. I don,t know where I put things. Anyway I had to relax and cut Baggetta,s pattern he showed. There were 3 but just like always as soon as I finish them here come the vultures so one disappeared. Thank you Baggetta for your work!!!

Nope. we have been practicing and he pretty well has it figured out. Little more practice on paw placement. He is negotiating for an new ball every time he does it...

Many years ago my wife and I visited Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is one of the most scenic and historic walled cities in Germany. The view is of the Rotor Tor (gate) and we had the opportunity to walk around the top of whole wall. It's a magical place full of timber frame houses and interesting shops. It' a project I had thought about doing for a long time. I started the design 12/17 and didn't start the cutting until 3/7. I gave myself some time to work on it and had to walk away a few times. There were a lot of holes! Things were kind of fragile too. Keeping pieces in place helped retain the strength until I was finished. Love Blue Tape!! I finished it today. Dimension is 17 x 12 on BBPW. Finish is Semi-gloss lacquer and I made a custom frame to fit. I must say that it was one of my most challenging scroll saw projects but I'm glad I did it.

During this time of isolation, I finished 4 Miniature Birdhouses. The patterns are by Diana Thompson. The birdhouses are made from Ash and the little birds from Purpleheart.

My youngest daughter got married last month and my wife reminded me that I had not made them a wedding plaque. OH, my. I went to the computer and pulled up this Sue Mey pattern and went to my shop and put it in my 'top priority' projects. I got it mailed off this morning. So glad my wife reminded me when she did Dick heppnerguy

been busy in shop, made these hunting knives. I stack cut the blades 3 at a time out of 1/8" BB plywood. . the handles are oak and curly maple. but each of the designs also have a walnut/ maple and a cherry/ maple handle

Who likes Celtic symbols? Here is my latest project - Thor Hammer Video of Making project Thor Hammer pattern

There are patterns and resources for making masks that I posted. This article today outlines a company checking the materials and realizing Blue Shop towels work the best. If you know any crafters or groups making these, pass it on. RJF https://news.yahoo.com/using-blue-shop-towels-homemade-221911287.html

As I am a healthcare worker, time away from the hospital is very valuable. This is the only thing I’ve cut, one of Steve’s latest patterns. I got a friend with the last name of Swann so I’ll send this to them.

Oh no, just started a hoarding panic on blue paper towels..... Every one will need at least 50 packages of them!!

I'm not really pleased with this but, I absolutely had to cut something and this could be done in one day. I'm a sucker for Native American patterns and this is supposed to represent a knife with a bone blade.. Pattern by Tim Rogers. My cutting is about 17" x 14 1/2". Woodburned wolf paws. Since I tapered the knife blade to make it look like a real knife, the knife then had to be raised to make it look like it was laying on top of the sheath properly. Thanks for looking and God Bless!

So this is where we are. Having to avoid each other because of Covid-19. Well, we all have to try to be safe so I guess for a while we'll have to keep our distance with maybe an elbow bump once in a while. Here's a sign as a reminder. I cut mine from oak plywood and mounted it on the off cut for a base. I can only wonder if someone generations from now happens upon this message what he/she will think. Free Pattern

I've fortunately been able to spend some time in the workshop. I'm doing a series of this type to include a zebra and an elephant. Hopefully this is the first of many. Mt wife is busy making masks and they've been a huge hit.

Recently @RabidAlien posted the pattern of the Jazz Trumpeter. One I wanted to try so I did. Not posting this because I am happy with it but more to give advice to anyone else that cuts it. As you can see with mine, it does not show up well. The reason is I did not enlarge the pattern enough, this is approximately 10" x 7.5" x 1/4". When I do it again (out of wood right now), I will increase the size by at least 50% more. That way the lines will be thick enough to let the white show through, and I will cut it in 1/8" pieces (stacked), that will also let the white show up more. It is a fun cut and not real difficult. There are some very fragile area and making it bigger will also strengthen them some. I really enjoyed playing around with it, not sorry I tried and it will be on my do over list. Is making a trip to a wood store essential???!! Feels like it to me.. Just thought of another option, reverse it, doesn't look too bad.

Hi Paul: You hold the page and let the smart Lab snap a pic This way you'll know that it's done properly..............LOL Fab4

totally awed by your work !! I try not to envy all you wounderful people who can make your own patterns !!!! if I did't know better I would have thought it was factory made and you bought it from the store.

I scan mine, clean them up with GIMP, and copy them to Inkscape and convert them to SVG files. From that point, it is easy to make them any size I want. I haven't had one, yet that was too big for my printer, but should that happen, I would send the print job to a nearby office supply store for printing. Books are a pain to scan, but compared to what I used to have to do scanning and converting is brain dead simple. Have you ever tried creating a pattern on a 1-inch grid from a poorly printed 3-inch pattern in a book? I was looking at a new book I purchased reticently, and that is almost all patterns and thinking that I should cut the spine off this one and scan it. Add all the pages to a PDF file just to keep them together is a viewable format. Import this into Calibre. Then back everything up and toss the book into the recycle bin. At this point, I have no use for the paper copy. All it will do is sit on the shelf, collecting dust, and take up shelf space I could use for something more useful. It took me a long time to get over, wanting to keep books but after years of watching them fall apart sitting on a shelf or in boxes. I got over it, and I gave away hundreds of them. The bed of my Ford Ranger was near full. I'm still getting rid of books.

I certainly will give that a try. Need to teach my shop dog Lab to hold the page for me,,,, he a pretty smart doggie....

Been busy doing some spring yard work,since I had a few dry days,finally,and also did some spring cleaning in my wooed shop,boy did it need it,.But I did manage to do some cutting.Hope everyone is doing well.Be careful.

I saw a post about Teddy Bear walks and all of a sudden in our neighbourhood I started to see bears in window. I decided I need a bear too and so I made one in wood. This is a Steve Good design for the a bearbox that I enlarged to an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet. Started yesterday morning and had ready for last night.

I don't know how to do it but this may help:

A face mask is going to use a sheet or two for layered per roll. Can't figure why people have to grab in hoards. We have kept a roll in the car for years for spill, napkin, or one day my wife's seat was wet. When I first got them my wife was fighting me and telling me we have 'Bounty'. Now that she has used them, they have their own place next to the 'paper towel'. RJF

Beautiful, I bet they will be tickled to receive it.

A Sam Custodio pattern. 1/4" BB. #1 Pmg.

Been off line for a few days so ....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to both of you. Both projects are very nice. I think I will have to keep your anniversary one in mind when our next one comes along in November Dick heppnerguy

I love the way people are giving so much recognition to those that are putting themselves at risks to help others. Tell you daughter I appreciate what she and the team she works with, are doing for so many others. Nice project. I know this will be appreciated by everyone that sees it Dick heppnerguy

Thanks Friend. Checked our closest auto parts store; https://www.autozone.com/wash-mitts-chamois-and-other-wash-and-wax-accessories/shop-towel/proelite-red-shop-towels-5-pack/72678_0_0 jerry

Your work is hard to beat even with a stick!!!

Wow, that is a nice one - you've really go this down now!

That looks terribly painful. I remember when you did that. Ouch! Is right.

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Great work! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

5X5 is a little cheaper than 4X8. Don't know why but Paxton Lumber said so so I purchased 5X5. I buy 1/8 and 1/4 BB. Don't use 1/8 much but use lots of 1/4. For backer I purchase cheap Luan 3/6" plywood.

What large hands you have Scrappile!

Wow !...Wonderful job !

Brilliant a great piece beautifully cut, I love it.

It certainly is a wonderful cutting!

Jim, it looks like you got this down pat, making your own pattern and producing such a beautiful piece!

Wonderful-work!

well its been a nice day. finished my plastic canvas project and started tracing and putting some wood patterns on to the wood. im going to try to make several of steve goods beauty toys... the hair drayer comb perfume bottle sissors…. and the bird in a bird cage. I like both those patterns.. im going to make several of that one too because I want one for me to go with the crocheted one mom made for me and one for my brother who didn't get a crocheted one ( I tried to crochet him one with out the pattern, it was ok and he took it home but it really didn't come out very good) the wood one will look a lot better. if we ever find moms crocheted pattern i'll crochet him another one. iv got all her patterns that we were able to find but of course that one pattern is the one we didn't find. ah well any way im off to do some more tracing in hopes I can do some cutting tomarrow.

That is really nice. Put that up with the first one you posted a short while ago and you have come a long ways in a very short time with your shaping and all. Great job.

Wow!...That turned out great !

that looks great, well done

awesome job, it's beautiful

Here's a little sign for the boxing fans. I cut mine from oak plywood and mounted it on a custom improvised base of spalted maple. Might make a good project for back lighting. Free Pattern
