I am in love with this wood. It's called Black Limba and when I saw it I had a thought (usually a dangerous thing). But it worked!! This is also my second attempt at angle cutting on my scroll saw (the first is the plywood trial in the pics -- a disaster). My first I cut in the wrong direction. The design is also my own, I think, but after all the pics I looked through prepping for this - who knows

These mobile phone stands are very popular. I was even asked to make one bigger for a tablet. Can't remember what the wood are except they all have pine bases. Marg

last time i made this puzzle for coloring I made of beechwood 21pcs 20mm thick it is one of my sea puzzle series swordfish(fastest) maegalodon &humpbackwhale youtube: making video : https://youtu.be/Icx3qHc2Lok

Steve Goods pattern I had printed when it first came out and only got to it today. Thanks for looking and comments!!! FD Scroll reverse #3

Here are a couple of items i cut this week. Not a lot of time in the shop for now but I have gotten some. Here are the last two items I made. The Greyhound bus is one that I cut for myself about a year ago and have it hanging on my shop wall. It is a Sam Custodio pattern and my son made a comment that it was one of his favorite pieces, I have made. Well his birthday is in a couple of weeks, so I cut this one for him as an add on gift. The plaque. a lot of you will recognize as a Steve Good pattern and I choose to make this one for my wife for an Easter gift. I knew she would enjoy this one. So here is my contributions for now. I am working on a couple of other projects and will be posting them in the next few days. So you see, I am still alive and well. Dick heppnerguy

"Cannon to the right of them Cannon to the left of them Cannon in front of them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell...." Every school child was bombarded with these poetry lines by Tennyson in school. The power of the military cannon was most important in war times past. Thought I would try to replicate a model of the old war cannons -- or at least come close. Here's my stab at it. I cut the cannon itself from a piece of 2 x 4 cut to size so that I could do a compound cut using my scroll saw. The wheels were also cut on the scroll saw and attached with a dowel to a platform, to which the cannon is glued. Well I won't go into detail, because it's all in the free pattern sheets.

Now that I got your attention!!!-1/4" plywood,2 pieces,3 with colored paper.

I like cutting letters, especially with some elements (for example, swirls, ornaments, flowers ect). Here is my new pattern and project - Home sign Video of making project (YouTube) Home pattern

Earth Day 50th Anniversary Wall Sign Pattern Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, it now includes events coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network in more than 193 countries. Here's a nice little wall sign you can put up as you try to save the Earth. Could also be made into a table top sign. Free Pattern

The man that helped me there was so helpfull and knowledgeable that I was compelled to make his name and a little more. So you see it,s not always a pretty face that gets an Amazing Kevin original!!! I told him his customer relations skills were the best. So now off to deliver it today too within 2 hours. Surprise,s work good !!! No background.

Thought I posted this but maybe not.3/4"plywood, rattle can paint,FD#7 scroll reverse blade, Walmart bling,paper copyed photo enlarged to 8"x 10.75" ,1/2"oak frame on a hardwood stand.1/4" backing board.all the same project just different lighting.

My doctor is a golfer so I cut this for him and also the penny drop game box so he can enjoy with his family.

I have bought 2 MetroVacs on eBay and got one for under $50 plus tax and free shipping. When I set mine up I'm going to use a double outlet on my foot switch to activate both saw and vac so it doesn't run constantly.

I think I had a pretty good day today -- starting to get the hang of it _ still need to work on my techniques

It's posted in ""90% Finished Seyco Cyclone Install" nothing special. Only thing I did was avoid all but one 90 degree elbow because I wasn't sure about the amount of suction from the small vac. I'm very surprised that it works as well as it does. Had it to do over, I would have done it piece meal instead of paying the extra for the Seyco setup.

I just think they both look great. So nicely finished off.

The pattern was made by Sue Mey. Here is the link to her site/pattern. Hope this helps. https://www.scrollsawartist.com/fretwork-overlay-clock.html

No can do. I gave it to my nephew as a wedding present. He's in California, I'm in Minnesota. I do like your thinking though.

Classical gas great tune

Great projects! As many of you know, my wife and I have had some really severe health problems and now problems with the insurance company so, I haven't scrolled much. Thanks to all those that have offered their prayers and a special thanks to two members here that I reached out to, to cry on their shoulders. Their prayers, their concern, and just letting me vent is greatly appreciated. Anyone that wants to take time to offer their prayers for my family would also be appreciated. I finally decided that since Judy Gale Roberts was kind enough to offer her Nurse Teddy Bear intarsia pattern FREE to help scrollers recognize nurses during these sad times I accomplished three of the bears. I have two nieces that are nurses and one sister that is a nurse so, they will receive these when I can deliver them. This photo was taken while they are still laying on wax paper with the first coat of polyurethane on them. God Bless! Spirithorse

My quarantine project started with laying vinyl flooring down In the whole house. Then made three angels and just finished a Led Zeppelin work. Next up: Beetles and Jimi Hendrix. WARNING: please turn your monitors on their sides.

Been cutting these out of 3mm Aluminum

Just a few - plus about 10 more I haven't posted

Another Steve Good pattern, iPad stands

I have been working from home, it’s been challenging so I haven’t had a lot of time in the workshop. Here is what I haven done. The vase is from Steve Good . Everyone stay safe.

I completed a couple of boxes using cherry and white burl oak, with the bows having paduk.

This is my new work bench for my scroll saw, taken from Steve Carmichael workshop.com modifide for my Wen scroll saw the design works good for me. Thank you for all the kind comments, I have been a wood worker for 35 years and just now getting into scrolling I have alot to learn but it will be a fun journey.

Hi All New to scroll sawing... A couple of my hobbies include basic watch repair and servicing, and woodworking projects. I have a small work shop in my basement but it is pretty well equip for my needs. I recently combined both hobbies and starting making mantel clocks when I ran across people making clocks totally out of wood. I purchased a cheap wen scroll saw just to stick my toe in the water. After cutting my first gear I became very interested in learning more about scroll sawing. I seen some of the work you guys do here and can only hope I can get as proficient, Anthony

The pattern for this Vase is by Steve Good. I used Poplar 1/4" and 3/4" pieces. It was cut at home using the EX21 and FD Polar #5 and FD UR #1 blades. Sanding took some time, but worked great with the Seyco Flex Drum Sander. The finish is spray Polyurethane Clear Gloss. Comments welcome.

I'm looking at doing my own set up too. The same vac that is included in the Seyco set up is 94.99 on Amazon, haven't searched Ebay yet. With that price, plus the cost of the extra hose and cyclone, I think I can save about $40. If I can use some old CPAP hoses for both under and over the table, I can save even more. I bought my saw from Ray and I want to support his business, but I need to save money when possible. My main concern with a vac that small is how well it will hold up to long hours of use. But even a larger vac can burn out.

As I am sometimes the master of the bad pun; Bang Up job!

Nice tray...beautiful wood! Where did you get it? And what finish did you use?

A couple of very nice pieces Dick....A+

Gorgeous wood I never heard of or seen!!! Good choice,keep your work coming!!!

very nice job

very nice clock

Beautiful !

They look great it is great to here you are asked to make them. They have respect for your work great wishing you the best from Barbara

Great work Kevin. The yellow is too pale, just my 5cents worth. Marg

That is DEFINITELY one sexy piece of wood!!! Very nicely cut! I'm assuming you did a quasi-inlay thing here, cut the center out, then moved it around to the bottom and attached via the overlap?

Your the best!!!

Nice pattern and great cutting!

Sort of realized something along that line -- it's the ones I'm afraid of that I need to try -- keeps me on my toes and is so sweet when it works -- will be posting another later that scared me to death

Not "Absolut". I only drink the cheap stuff. I found out many years ago that I can reach a level of drunkenness just as quick with the cheap stuff. Thunderbird, Boone's Farm. It all results in me driving the porceline bus. Anyway I hope this helps.

Ray, tried the bottle on the end of a Metrovac to muffle the sound. Works well. I used an app on my phone to measure the decibels from the vac, and had a reduction of almost 10 decibels. This is about half the perceived volume. I am still going to wear ear protection, to keep the tinnitus from getting worse. Now all I need to do is get the cyclone hooked up and get back to sawing. Tom

Can we see a picture of your set up? Love to see pictures.

I made an owl, from a photo I purchased. Now that it's hanging on my wall, I notice more and more mistakes I made. Smh at myself. @meflick my daughter is also sewing masks - so far she has donated more than 100 to charitable organizations who provide food to school children and to medical personnel.

Well, I haven't really completed any scroll saw projects yet. I've been working a little bit out there, but not a lot. First, I had both of my eyes lenses replaced in the couple weeks just before the pandemic shut everything down (think same surgery as for cataracts, but without the cataracts). Was having my one week checkup on my second eye about the time they started slowly shutting many things down. As a result, I have been out of the shop letting my eyes heal and staying away from saw dust. I have recently been out there for a little bit, wearing eye protection and face mask. Maybe I will have something to share wood related soon. I also have had my adult daughter home from grad school (physical therapy) for the past 3+ weeks. She was "passing through" on her way to a 10 week clinical rotation when she got word that it was being postponed "indefinitely". It was suppose to go until about the end of May, and so far its looking like she (and all of her classmates) will not get this one in right now. We are praying that she can start her next one in June on time. As a result, she has elected to stay here with us for now. I enjoy having her, she likes to cook! Anyway - my husband is in healthcare - not frontline, front and center like in the ER but still out there everyday so I made him and us and some extended family members face masks once the CDC recommended that we all wear them when we go out. The camouflage ones were for him - I thought they were fitting in that we are fighting a battle in healthcare right now! I used a couple of different patterns. I said its funny, i can saw a much straighter line on a scroll saw then I can sew one on a sewing machine. My mother was the seamstress, she sewed us barbie clothes, clothes for us when we were young, older, and for our children. She made baby blankets for ours and anyone else she knew expecting (including every baby in her church.) We lost her to Alzheimer's 4 years ago this week. I said she is either up there laughing at me, or shaking her head in despair at my sewing skills. She would have had 100's made in the time it took me to make 10! I used two different patterns. The second photo shows the ones that "fit" your face a little more then the first ones. The first ones are more like surgical masks that are not as form fitting to your face. Here is the links to where I found the patterns. This is link to the first one: https://www.joann.com/how-to-make-a-face-mask/042188731P321.html and this is the second one: https://www.craftpassion.com/face-mask-sewing-pattern/#face-mask-video

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.

I have started to attempt things that I have not tried before and am unsure of. The first on my list is to master the use of epoxy with scroll sawn objects. I started this a couple of weeks ago and am documenting my successes and failures in the thread: In the meantime, here is a photo of my latest experiment which is currently underway: When (not if) I finally succeed, I will insert a photo of that project here: xxxxxxx
