Jim Blume pattern 8 1/2×11

Never having had the pleasure of cutting 1/8th Baltic Birch before, I bought some and this is the first thing I've ever done with it.

I want to thank everyone who tried a pattern for this one for me. Russell I went with yours and it was a huge hit. He loved it!! I cut two, one for an autograph and one for Mr Pace to keep. He was very surprised. There's video of him signing it on my facebook page if anyone wants to see that. Courtys Scrollworks But long story short I can't say thank you enough to the amazing pattern makers in this group! You've come through for me on more than one occasion and always have top notch designs! Thank you again!

Got my first great-nephew this year, so I had to do something special for the little guy. @rdatelle helped me track down the pattern and I cut it without the year, but I will sign and date the back. Cut from 1/4" butternut with Watco gloss lacquer. Got the frame from Sloan's as they were going out of business. If I do more, I will strengthen the base of the "B" as it is quite weak.

The 1948 Ford Woodie is a true American classic. You can almost hear the refrain of a favorite Beach Boy tune, imagine the surfboards and smell the ocean breezes. Most were made from maple with a few beech models but almost all were prone to rot. Back in the 50’s and 60’s they were cheap but restored models now can run over 80K. It was a fun project of 1/8 BBPW on a ¼” backer. I used my paint, fill in technique on the grill and wheel wells bridges to give it visual continuity. Time to Hang 10!

It as a 6 1/2 hr cut but was one of the funest cuts ive done.Jim makes the small cuts fun. I hate lots of boring small cuts

Well, I couldn't no more wait than fly to the moon, so here is my first ever 3mm B/B cut I've put it in the 'Bragging' section too b

I did a nice project for The lady. But missed the correct spelling of her husband.it,s Daniel not David. The L broke off Daniel as I dropped it . Will fix later, Thanks for looking this is a modified Sue Mey pattern.10.75" x 8"+3/4" oak

No need to wait for Mother's Day or birthday to make a gift for Mom Mother pattern Video of making project

Nice work and will be treasured. We also got a new great niece and nephew, one on my side and one on hubby’s side. She is now 6 months old, he is 4 months old so yes, both were born at the start of the pandemic. Need to come up with their 1st Christmas ornaments myself, hopefully they will look half as good.

Beautiful piece. Wish I had the patience but at my age, I know I don’t.

I was not intending to share photos, which is why they are like they are, but here they are. Thanks again all.

Thanks for all of the feedback. After doing a fair amount of research I decided to go with the Foredom 5240 from Klingspor’s. I friend of mine does more woodcarving than anybody I know and it was his recommendation, too. The price doesn’t seem to vary much from one place to another, but some don’t charge sales tax on out of state orders. This is an example of the woodcarving my friend does that convinced me to go Foredom. He has tried them all and I figured I’d take his advice. .

Thei is the first project off new Excell 21 It's alittle slower tha my sast 2 saws Dewalt and Delta. It is reallly a better saw for fret work useing the same blades I am happy with it. It's a Russ Beard patten. useing a #5 olson Match blade

Sorry for not being on lately,I have been able to get back down to my shop,and I thought I would visit some Old Friends from my Childhood.Snoopy and Scooby.

Hi I got asked to make this for my mates girlfriend for his birthday present. Its coming along nicely.

This is my first attempt making a clock. I had the pattern for years but never cut it. Pattern is from Wildwood Designs. Cherry Tree Toys has two of their arrowheads, but haven’t been able to find the others since the two merged.

I did another of Alex Fox's Jewelry Box pattern. This time in 1/8" Walnut and Beech, first was 1/8" BB ply. I'll show both pictures

Really nice job on that one for sure.....looks complete in the frame.....A++

That is a wonderful piece and framed too! Is this your pattern?

Very nice clean cutting and framed, always like these older cars.

very nice job

awesome job, it's beautiful

Very nice job on that cutting Carl!! Love my Hawk saws... and I agree with Scott.. I'd probably use a #3 blade.. My go to blade used to be a #5.. but more often than not anymore I go to the #3 the last couple years.. Keep up the good work and show us your projects..

Wow, that is gorgeous. Great cutting.

Nice job Carl. Scrolling does take practice. You develop a feel. Just keep at. Don't be afraid to experiment (woods, blade sizes, blade types, different type projects,...... ). BTW I would probably have used a #3 blade.

That is lovely. Clean and crisp, well done. Marg

I have is very nice flex shaft tool from Grobet. I think it is just a chrome plated Foredom tool. I love it. My only problem is that it is mounted on one of my benches and so is not really portable. I got rid of the the rheostat foot pedal and replaced it with a HF router speed controller combined with a foot switch as used on scroll saws. I got tired of having my get lazy and allowing the unit t slow down or not keeping a constant speed. I control the speed with the router speed control. I only mention this as I have found it convenient.

Freddie is a TV character preformed by an American comic Red Skeleton. His was a TV show in which he played several unique characters. You did a wonderful job of cutting! I can only make one suggestion and that is to use the smallest blade with a high tooth count. I don't use a blade with reverse teeth because the wood is so thin and the fuzzies are easily removed from the back. The high tooth count will give you very good control when cutting detail. Nice Job!

Thanks for your comment. I am pleased with saw, it performed beautifully. I think i used the wrong blade though, i should have used the 5 Olson instead of the 7, I was really struggling trying to thread the drilled holes. But it was just practice. Carl

Well another notch in your belt for this gem!!! Glad you enjoyed doing such a detailed project. Time really fly's with so many holes. Keep your work coming, Great job!!!

Beautiful piece Brenda. Now it’s time to try stack cutting.

Great work, Frank! That looks great! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Thanks for the info, Denny. I was undecided between the K35 and the Foredom, but after talking it over with my friend, I decided to go with the Foredom, which unfortunately is quite a bit more expensive. Your price on the Marathon is fantastic, as was your price on the Pegas Scrollsaw I bought from you.

Your cutting came out great! I cut a lot of 1/8" BBPW and I always make sure to sand both sides before I start cutting. Sometimes there are loose fibers that can be pulled up when you remove the pattern. Even thin plywood can be hard on blades because of the glue. They dull fast and break but you can make very fine cuts with the smaller blades.

Looks great Frank . Roly

My first little project on the new to me hawk scroll saw. I started thinking about scrolling just before last Easter and printed this pattern off of Steve Good's site. Kinda crude but i will improve, learned a lot. I have not used a scroll saw since the early 70's. Nothing like this, back then it was just furniture parts. I have a long way to go. I really like this saw even if it is 25-30 years old. Most of my stuff is from early nineties and earlier

I had some B/B once cost me and arm and a leg but I loved it. Can't get it any more. Congratulation on your great find. Enjoy. Marg

Beautiful work

Now she would like her logo enlarged to 36". I took her phone photo and sent it to rapid resizer and secounds later out comes a ,twenty sheet pattern to trim off an 1/8" all the way around each sheet of copy paper and scotch tape them together.

Steve good pattern enlarged with rapid resizer in seconds.1/4"ply man,1/2" base with a 1"45 block for strength 14" tall cut with Denny,s pegas scroll reverse #5 blade,good blade very sharp!!!

this is third map project I made small Korea puzzle before that's why I made it later here is where I am living I put 142 animals (flagship species,important animals,Frogs and insects) I hope to do forth map puzzle before the end of this year

I made this for my son's tiki bar. It is backlit with multi-colored LED light strips.

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.

Hi All I made this for my girl friend she is a garfield fan..

1/8" laminated flag and backer. Sprayed with rattle can paint. Still deciding how I want to frame it. #1 Pike blade. Backer painted ivory. Pattern came from a clip art site. There are several and don't recall which one.

Finished this up today, done on Oak and Popular, turned out decent, and this is for me, sorta got the bug for this kind of thing. pattern from Lloyds toy maling plans.

This is my first pice. Made on a $25 Ryobi pin end. I learned a lot on it. When I look at all I see are my mistakes. I have a Cricut that I made the template on . Then traced it on the green tape, drilled holes and cut out. The finished picture is in bad lighting the stain is even. my questions are. 1. Are the pin end blades at the dutchman store better than Menards? 2. Puzzles look like some thing I would like. Where can I get full size patterns? I don’t have a printer. Thanks in advance for all of your comments.
