I just finished this one for our remembrance of all the men and women who fought for our freedom. Never forget!

For my great great great nephew. His favorite colour is yellow. I did it in florescent paint. I ordered him a small black light flashlight to acctivate it

A friend of mine flew his drone over my local weekly market today and started this video clip at my booth. I definitely need one of these drones. My first event of the year. It was so-so, nothing fabulous and below what I had hoped for a holiday weekend, but hey at least I'm doing markets again. DJI_0028_3.mp4

Most times I never seem to get all that much oily blade issues.. and I rarely ever clean them... however today opening up a new pack of blades the oil was almost dripping off of them.. There was no way I was putting them in my storage tubes like that as that oil would spread on the next several batches of blades and probably affect me for several months or years LOL.. So I took the three dozen I had in my hand that was getting ready to go into the tubes and went and grabbed a can of brake cleaner.. I sprayed all the blades still bundled up with the wire wrapping.. A light bulb went off in my tiny brain.. why not spray the whole batch at once like this... maybe some of you do? Back when I used to clean the blades I always did just one at a time as I used them.. Now.. you probably shouldn't do that if you're not using the blades up very fast.. That doesn't seem to be an issue for me with my most commonly used blades.. Anyway, I just thought it was easier and faster to spray them clean of oil with a quick spray of brake cleaner.. all three dozen was cleaned in less than a minute, LOL

I used a quilt block pattern to make this memory box. It was a lot harder for me than I thought. I cut all the triangles on my scroll saw so there was no way I was able to get them all perfect. I used cedar, poplar, yellow heart, nogal, blue pine and bubinga.

Sitting bull ,another Steve good pattern with a black mount board .made from an old shelf off a pine bookcase

Been doing a little cutting this week.. Made two of each on most all of these.. Also cut about 15 puzzles..

One more geometric ornament pattern to my collection. 5 layers, 1/8 inch Video of making project (YouTube) Pattern

Ray from Seyco was very helpful when I had problems with my Ex21 a few years ago, however he would not ship spares outside of the US. I was lucky and a very nice lady from another forum ordered the parts and sent them onto me and I reimbursed her. there are some really great people in this funny old world, you just have to look for them.

just a few little things I thought id put up...you can never find enough thanksgiving decorations...at least I cant so I make my own lol im always looking for thanksgiving patterns lol I like this little pilgrim boy sleeping some where theres a pic of a little pilgrim girl sleeping to lol and of course I must make toys!!! so when I found this bull dozer pattern I had to have spike help me make it lol and women must have ear rings and what a great way to use up small pices of 1/4 inch wood. and then of course another toy caar with 2 people in it this time....I left this one unpainted so some lucky child can paint it with his or her favorit colornow when my son was a child he loved dinosaurs!! so of course I have dinosaurs patterns of all kinds lol I leave it unglued so the kids can put it together themselves....and of course the parents or children can glue the legs to body if they want. my young grandson loves glueing things together. lol I got to talk to him on the phone the other day and asked when could he come stay with grandma again make stuff!! lol poor boy I had to tell him I didn't know but his dad can help him leave me messages or write grandma a letter...well that's it for now...

I will expect one of your at Christmas Dan, same as every year. I have a nice little collection now. Marg

Sounds good.... I have never had a problem,,,but then I don't order lots of blades

lol i know iv been asked in the past if i would make puzzles for people and i have no trouble doing that, but when i make them before i cut them out i take a pencle and number each piece so i can put it together after i cut it out to make sure all the pieces fit right. lol then i erease the numbers before i put it in a box lol

So I broke down and picked up an RBI 220...first scroll saw...seller has had it for 5 years, bought it from original owner and thinks it's about 12 years old or so. Now to disassemble, clean all the nooks n crannies, lube 'er up and let 'er rip... Are there any distinguishing characteristics that would help to age it...? Thanks in advance...

This great pattern by Bernd was the one that almost had me flicking in scrolling. I wanted so much to cut a really good pattern for my neighbor who owns a 1967 Chevy convertible that he restored and had owned for 17 years. He, like so many car enthusiasts loves and cherishes his car. I know how important this car was to him and how much he loved having it that I wanted the best pattern I could get to cut and give to him. Bernd stepped up to the plate and made the great pattern for me and then he cut it and made the video of it, that so many of you enjoyed in this forum. I was unable to do a satisfactory job cutting it and got myself really depressed, as this was to be a perfect gift. I messed up very badly and I was thinking I should just give up and flick in my scrolling hobby. Well, Bernd, being the giving and caring person he is, Sent me the plaque he made in his video to give to my neighbor. Following the chevy plaque failing, I followed with the nurse bear screw up. So, things were just not going well for me. Because of the encouragement from Bernd and several of you, in my previous posts, I am now over my depression and moving on. Thank you all for what you have done for me. I am not usually depressed and take things in stride. I just wanted this one to be perfect. My thanks especially go out to Bernd and all he did for me.

Another great pattern from Steve Good. This is a basket , the wood is popular, I stained the top and bottom with golden oak and the rest is black walnut.

And I thought that stuff only happened to me. Ha!

Look up you serial number on Bushton's site. They have a pretty good listing of them in the manuals section. If you post a picture of your saw, we can determine what you should look for. The number one thing is the motor. If it has a Fasco motor, you may have problems with it down the road. The style of lower blade clamp is another thing. Also, check at the rear where the tensioning is done, look at the "V" notch in the upper arm. See if it has any undue wear. There should also be a nylon washer between the tensioning knob and the "V" wedge that goes into the notch of the upper arm. In the front of saw, it should have a tension lever and upper clamp piece. Make sure that is lubricated well. You can download a manual for it if you didn't get one. Best of luck with your new toy.

Sure is a beautiful setting. You are living the "charmed life".

I clean mine with some denatured alcohol and a paper towel. Doesn't normally take a lot on normal manufacturing residue . May have to wipe down several times if they are dripping with oil, never experienced that issue. I have read someplace a while ago that mineral spirits works also . Best of luck.

One of the guys that were captured in the photo of the Marines hoisting the flag was a Native American that lived on a reservation only 6 miles from where I live. Wish I could have met him. I would love to hear his stories. Dick heppnerguy

awesome job

I have been wanting to do them again been looking for the pattern but jut can'dt lay my hands on them. they are fun. IKE

I don,t think I could do optical illusions.great job Dave!!!

No easy task but you aced them both!!!

Forgot to tell you why photos next week. I'm in between phones, still trying to get the new one sorted. Thanks guys for the comments. Marg

::salute:: To all those who paid the ultimate price.

Hmmm, had to go look as I've not had to re-order for some time. The blade is 3/4" and looks to be 3 tpi Lenox trimetal. My last order was from Industrial Blade (1-800-729-2523) ------Randy

I have a 1/2" carbide tip blade for resawing and it is fantastic. I purchased it from Highland Woodworking. I see getting at least 3or4 years use out of it. I am on year 3 and still going strong.

Whatcha think?

Great pattern and cutting.

I'll post when it comes in. I hope it works, it was my daughters idea

Beautiful! I have that pastern but am too nervous to cut it. Always afraid it may bit me if irritated. Yellow, nice touch!

Very nice pattern as well as great cutting!

Oooooooooooooooooooo....I'd love to see a pic with the blacklight running!!!!

I knew you could do it Marg! Before you know it you’ll have dozens cut!

@Kris Martinson. Big thanks to forum member Kris for sending me this fantastic pattern of the great John Wayne. I have used Cedar for the pattern and Yew for the frame. Cedar is a fantastic wood to cut and smells great. This was cut with a Hegner and Olson 2/0r blade. I just need to add a few coats of Danish oil and John will be ready for the wall. Regards, Paul.

Can hardly wait to see your new Masterpiece.

Just finished these ,need a final sand and then ready to frame,

love the puzzle!!! you did a fantastic job on it!!! now me i love making puzzles but i HATE putting them together lol

I saw this on Steve Goods site, (May 2nd) http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2020_05_02_archive.html

When I was in Adelaide I went to Melbourne it took 4~8hours from Adelaide it was longest bus trip in my life ~lol You live in Beautiful city I miss jetty fishing

This week I realized that I haven't any sport patterns. I decided to start from football Video of making football project Football pattern

I made the infinity heart, I used poplar and stained black walnut.

I made the pattern for this from a drawing I found online. You all know what a fondness I have for Old West themed projects. There are six gunfighters in this picture. This one is 11x14x1/8" Baltic Birch.

This is another pattern by Sam Custodio. This is number 19 for my favourite customer. Hope you all are keeping safe during this hard time.

Locked down due to Covid-19, so I'm getting lots of scrolling done. Just finished this one.

1/4" BB, 3/16" Luan backer, #2/0 PMG. Finish and framing wait for warm weather.

The pattern is by Sue Mey. I used 1/2" Eastern Red Cedar. It cut smooth, but I found it very fragile. It cracked in two places, so I had to glue. We will use it as a wall hanging rather than a trivet. I cut it on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #3 MGT blades. Comments welcome.
