For my wifes friends sons wedding. Still needs paint and stain

I cut this for Tony, it's a surprise for him, I hope he likes it. I started it a while back and I can't remember where I got the pattern from, but if I do recall I'll give credit as I think it's a great pattern. It's a Jim Blume pattern.

well she said she likes black an yellow so I made the new girl at the store this one. I know she will laugh seeing it & but I don,t know if that,s a good thing,lol

Pattern by Charles Hand

Been to long not using my paints. Nothing I know would thin out the semi hard old acrylics.

I did this jewelry box pattern by Alex Fox over the weekend. Man...that's a lot of pieces for a little box! It's 1/8" BB ply done with a #1 Pegas blade. I think it would sell at the craft shows this winter, so I might get some 1/8" Walnut and Hard Maple from Ocooch and try it with hardwood.

Pattern by Ken Hopkins Found in the library.

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

I release the tension on the scroll saw, band saw, belt sander and my Shopsmith which has variable speed belt drive. I wish releasing MY tension were that simple.

Thanks Marg! I like the way it came out...my wife did too, she snatched it right away! Now to experiment with some different colored hardwoods.

I was going to blacken the cross hairs but chickened out! May still do it, but the areas that doesn’t show the cross hairs, scared I’ll mess it up. Pretty cool pattern!

Like everyone, i get those blowouts due to that unsupported area where the blade goes through the table. Dewalt saw. I have been using a playing card with a hole in the middle of it taped to the table top. That works ok but the wood catches on the edge of the card and its irritating. Figured I needed something bigger. Went to walmart and in the shelf liner section they have rolls of self adhesive clear lamination for about $6. Worked perfect. Taped a sheet to a blank of some scrap wood and drilled a hole in the middle. Taped it on the sides to the edge of the table and works great.

I had thought about having my top powder coated because it is a very hard finish but the local company closed down. Oh well...

About that table top, whenever I see that, I know the user has some hours under his belt, and their reputation in my mind skyrockets. Using that when judging how much a used EX has been used, is very handy. Unless they had it covered, a pristine EX table would be a good indicator of low hours. Secondly, I would look at it's country of origin, I wouldn't pay anything for the chinese version, life is too short. It doesn't hurt to put it on the market for $500, you can always come down if it doesn't sell. It's really asking $400 for the saw, and $100 for the upgrades, which sounds better when worded that way.

A great tribute for all veterans. Very well done Brenda.

Very beautiful Brent.

Great work. They will love it.

Nice job, interesting to see this box in an exotic hardwood. Yes, she likes small boxes, but sometimes she cant find separated top of the box, so I made one with rotating inner part.

Good Job Kevin. i am fully aware of that problem. I used to make toys and purchased my paint in 4 litre tins, then decant it into 1;litre or 500ml jars. After not doing anything for a number of years, I had to chuck litres of the stuff out,it stank. I did save some, but it was a waste.

a super job Brenda. Tony is sure to treasure that.

Absolutely beautiful. Are the hearts photo frames?

You did a terrific job Brenda, well done. Marg

Alex makes some unique patterns. He did this for his mother's birthday, and posted it last week. I thought it was cool and got the pattern from him.

Awesome job Brenda! I am a Veteran also, and believe the same.

Really great looking!

You did that well. A beautiful box.

Who would not love a bumble bee? She will love it!

Beautiful job Kevin!

A wonderful sentiment! You've done a wonderful job.

Great work! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Nice work and sure Tony loved it.

Fantastic cutting! I am a veteran also. Say thanks to Tony for me for his service. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Looks great, Kevin, Maybe you can experiment with a few drops of paint thinner and see if your paint liquifies a little. God Bless! Spirithorse

every single time Im done with the saw for the day - the tension comes off - think its smart and helps the longevity of the saw- have done this since day 1

Love it.I can picture a hammock between them trees.Beautiful job.

I think she will like it and get a Big kick out of it.A Most Excellent job.

I agree with everything that has been said here. I hate to take sides. LOL.

nice job

terrific job

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.

Ah,, about an hour and a half away from me.

I subscribe to an web site called fontbundles.net. They have freebee Friday and this was one of the freebees but it also is on dafont. I am a font junkie and collect neat stuff. A lot of these are used with Cricut machines. I have designed a few signs for a friend and so I am always on the look out.

Oh my gosh Don. You are defiantly the font expert.

When I first saw this font it reminded me of the intro to the tv show Bewitched There is actually a Bewitch Font. Go figure!

Wow, that was like a straw in haystack, I'm very impressed you were able to find that.

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

Best wishes for a successful surgery. Moving from warm to warmer?

Been under the knife many times, NO FUN! Do what the doctors tell you and have a speedy recovery!

Best of luck to you. Surgery is never fun.

Not only do Travis and Clayon keep the place straight, it is largely due to the folks here wanting a place to discuss a common interest and for the most part, we push our chairs back under the table and turn out the lights when we leave. It's Travis's house and he invited us come sit around the fireplace and talk.
