    A-26 Invader

    Back to planes. I belong to a forum on Facebook dedicated to recip engine powered corporate aircraft and I have been adding some of my related aircraft plaques to that group. The A-26 was a modified A-20 Marauder used in WWII with the same R2800 radial engines. It was operational in Korea and Vietnam as a ground attack aircraft. As they went out of service many were bought by private operators and modified for corporate transport use. The On Mark company upgraded several, (40-60) removing the bomb bays and military equipment and adding corporate interiors with seating for 6-8 passengers and additional side windows and upgraded avionics. The aircraft was fast at 360 mph and was popular with corporate operator until the advent of turbo prop and jets like the G-I and Learjets. I used the Umbria font. I like it because it doesn't need any bridges. Size of plaque is 11 x 14 BBPW with 1/4" backer. Finish, Shellac with gloss Lacquer.

  2. Finally got back to the scroll saw for a few hours. Been busy making pens on the lathe for co-workers. Not the best that I have cut, but needed something simple to ease back into it. Sheila Landry designs. Walnut and Maple

  3. Howling wolf bookmarks. Found these ovals (I didn't cut the outer edges at all, that's how they came out of the pack) at the crafts store (Michaels), next to all the popsicle sticks. They're MUCH better to cut than balsa (they were completely out of BB ply), cheap, and come 8 to a pack. These may be my go-to if I need to cut any more bookmarks.

    Cameo Box

    This is a Steve Good pattern that I modified. I used the drops from the inlaid box to make a second box that is fret work.

  6. I think that the font might be Cream Candy. Here is an example. It is available on dafont.com

    My Owl

    Cut and framed a H. Botas Owl pattern that I've been wanting to do. It's a single 1/8" BB ply done with a Pegas #3 finished with spray Shellac. I think it would sell...may have to do more of them.

    Tension or not?

    For all you nice people that believe that tension should be releases to protect saw bearings and/or not shorten blade life; 1. When driving over a bridge, keep in mind that before the beams are poured, a lot of cables are tensioned in the form first & the concrete poured next. It is the cables that provide the tensile strength to support the load of the bridge & the traffic. Those cables have been under tension since the beams were poured. 2. Bearings. The bearings in your vehicle wheels & axles have had the weight of the vehicle on them since it left the factory. IF it makes YOU feel good to release the tension, by all means continue to do so, but there is absolutely no advantage to it. jerry

    Now, If you were in Western Australia, I'd snap it up at $500. Before you purchase you Pegas from Bear Woods try @Denny Knappen he is a Pegas distributor. I've got one more move ahead of me and hopefully that will my last. Just looking in my shed makes me shudder.

    Hello JT?

    JT and I didn't always see eye to eye and somehow always managed to get into some heated topics.. Both he and I are passionate about our beliefs on certain things and many of those beliefs are opposite of each other and for some reason neither one of us could just let it go.. I do wish he would come back and participate again.. he is a wealth of knowledge and many people would benefit with his shared knowledge and experience..

    First fret box

    I spent some time this week cutting this fret box from the summer 2018 issue of SSW mag. Nice pattern although I was sweating a few bullets on some of the stems. Well either that our the fact that it is almost a 100 F outside with no cooling in my shop. Still trying to make a decision on how to finish it including using the marbling technique for the top they suggested in the article.

    not straight

    Quit looking at it. If it is doing what you ask of it its not worth driving yourself nuts about. I have a dewalt and also an old delta. Worst thing i ever did was look up what can go wrong with them because it always had me questioning every little thing. Same thing when I heard that people have a thing feeling that their socks are bunching up under their foot when wearing shoes. Like to drive me nuts until I realized i spent most days barefoot.

    Tension or not?

    I release mine just because it is a habit to do things like this. Just try to take care of the equipment.

    Hello JT?

    I PM'd him a while back to say we were missing him. He is just trying to stay out of the fray so to speak. I do think he is reading everything posted but just not entering the conversations. Sometimes, that's the smart way to be.

    Cursive font

    If you are cutting the font with raised letters as in your picture, most text should not be a problem. If you are scrolling into the wood (as mentioned above) you need to do bridges. Remember to cut the weakest or inside parts first. A,B,G,O,P,Q,R. In some applications, I have actually painted in the bridges with the matching backing color. I would try a test cut and painting to see if it looks right before doing a final piece.

  25. I just joined this group and I would like to say "Howdy"! I have been Scroll Sawing for over 30 years now (Started off with a Sears Craftsman 16" saw) and for the last 28 years I have been using an RBI 20" Hawk. For our 50th. Wedding Anniversary on June 6th. of 2020 my wife bought me a brand spanking new RBI 26" Hawk from Bushton Manufacturing. I loved my old RBI Hawk and now I am totally falling in love with my new RBI Hawk! My old saw is going to be shipped to our dear friends in Mora, Minnesota so that they can get some use out of it and they can feel the love of a Great Machine! On my old RBI I taught both of my Daughters how to create gifts, then I taught all of my Grandkids how to scroll saw. Now I am starting to teach my Great Grandkids how to run the saw safely. This is my youngest Great Grandson Owen during his first lesson!

  38. I can so relate to the time issue. I stopped reading any of the blogs for a while because people kept putting in the time it took them to cut a project. I have realized that I cut at the speed and time I cut and it doesn't matter to any one how long it took. I don't sell at markets, so there is no time line. The only one putting the "time" issue on an item was me. It is still frustrating seeing someone post something with a time frame and I wonder "HOW THE H3ll" did they do that in that time????

    Cursive font

    Hi Michael: Good choices given above - Fonts, just like anything else become a personal choice The only thing that really matters is that the customer is happy with whatever you choose Adding bridges to any font is easy enough to do, Show us what you end up with Fab4
