I seen this cut before somewhere a while back & really loved it, so I had some time today to designed my own pattern this morning, I'm calling it "The tree Of Life Cross"..... I had this nice piece of red elm in the shop & thought it would look very nice with this cross, it's 10 x 12 , 5/8" red elm, 4 coats of Deft semi gloss polyurethane with 400 grit light sanding in between coats, chamfered edges. comments always are welcomed. God Bless & Thank You.

I was so inspired with the shop being clean and organized that I cut a new piece this evening. On Steve Good's site he calls it a "Christmas Oval". I cut it, with #3 Pegas blade, from 1/4" Walnut ply with a 1/4" Maple ply backer. Finishing is Watco Light Walnut on the fretwork and Watco Natural on the backer. I may hit it with a couple coats of Lacquer tomorrow to help protect it.

Not really bragging... but I did do what I've been putting off. Did you ever get to the place you can't find anything right on the bench? I was between projects this morning and told myself "you've got to do something with this mess"! So I cleaned up the workbench, and found a few things I thought I had lost! I'll post a picture...neat, clean, organized...it probably won't stay that way for long...LOL! Also I got tired of the tubes I have my blades in rolling around all the time. When I bump the saw table they will roll off onto the floor...and I have to stop and pick them up. So I dug around in Steve Good's site and found a "tube carrier" plan I had seen a while back. Didn't take long to cut out and glue up...presto, all my blades are organized and within reach!

Haven't posted in here in a long time so I thought I'd share a couple new designs I've made.. Both from 5/8" cherry cut with a #3 Pegas MG blade

Finally got around to finishing the Judy Gale Roberts "Smell The Flowers" Intarsia. Padauk, Aspen, Basswood, Yellowheart and a small piece of Walnut and some white pickling gel for the hat, belt and shoes..

My version of Steve Good pot holder, I had some Zebra wood kicking around, so I decided to use it. The spoons were fun to do, I just used my ball sander to shape them (no finish on them yet). I might look for a fork pattern to match the spoons. Anyway it was fun to do.

All you do gooders I'm having a shop cleaning party again! Nobody showed last time,lol

Made this tray for a good friend of mine, some pieces of wood that I had in the scrap pile, walnut, cherry and maple.

Neat work.

Looks great.....I’ve got a little ocd going on in my shop too....a clean shop is a happy shop

I know what ya mean,I have to clean mine up at least once a week,I Made me one of Steve blade tube Holders.Love it.

I hate a messy bench, I like to be able to put my hand on what I want without searching for it. My OCD kicking in I guess. Marg

Yes i know that now, I think that was my mistake. Some of the holes were to small, but i could not go any bigger b/c it would have been bigger then the space allotted for the opening. That day i went to lowes i could not find any blades. Went to HF, they only had pins, same story at HD finally, 1/2 mile from the house, true value had two types, spiral and the #7 skip tooth. i got the last pack. After 2 hours of driving around. Sooooo needless to say i ordered some from Pegas , spiral and a couple packs of the lower #s, for now. Thanks for supporting my thought, at least i know i was half right. The saw is still on my Black and Decker work bench in the garage. Once i get it downstairs and set up they way i want it will be a lot more comfortable. Carl

I don't think I put this up yet. A Steve Good pattern done in Cherry ply

Another lazy frame

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.

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

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!

I liked the one I had. 3 speed floor shift, bucket seats. But oh man the rust!

Friend in high school bought one that was really rough shape. should have been a parts car.. but he and his dad sorta restored it and it was an awesome car for a short time.. He turned left at a traffic light when he thought the oncoming traffic was going to stop as the light had turned yellow / red... and the back fender took a pretty hard hit... they pulled it out and made it derivable again though they never really fixed it back up.. I think they had plans to but then he smoked a deer with the front too so.. LOL Boy they had a lot of work in that old car.. I'd have never attempted to fix it.. there wasn't a straight or rust free panel on the car when they first got it, LOL.. nor did it have an engine.. but they got a junkyard motor and rebuilt it etc.. Like I said.. they had a lot of man hours putting that car together.. only looked good for about 8 months before the first mishap.. LOL There was a post about that car on his FB page last week which inspired me to make this clock, LOL

I had a Ford Maverick. I bought it brand new in 1970. Piece of junk. That model didn't last long. Kind of like the Pinto.

I'm not 'into' cars, I wouldn't know one from another, but I'd have either of them on my mantle....

Beautiful, I envy you your talent.

Nice job. I'd clean mine off to but I can't find it!

awesome job

Great work Gary!!

Thanks for the silver bullet tip on good sellers!!!

Beautiful. Great work !

WOW.That is absolutley Stunning!!

Fantastic work!!

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.

Lovely. Great work Gary. Marg

That is so beautiful and perfect wood choice. You knocked this one out of the ball park Dan. Marg

Very well done Gary! I’ve done that piece. It’s a good seller.

Beautiful work! The wood is beautiful and I would have guessed it was oak. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Very nice!! Great pattern, and unique beautiful wood.

Top shelf quality there.....A+

I love that snoopy, got to do that one, as soon as i can. My daughter stuck a scooby doo on my tape measure when she was a little girl back in the early 70s, i still have it. it sits on my table saw but i don't use it , i just want it near by. Carl

defently beautiful work!!! now how did you make the lazy frame if i may ask?

great work!!! and yes i love them both!! my son is a big scoby do fan...so years ago i made him a scooby doo paper towl holder for his first apartment...he never used it he put it in a drawer i assume its still in a drawer in the house he lives in now.... most every thing i have made him he keeps in a drawer so i dont make him things anymore lol the onlly thing he ever used was the quilt i made for him with every other block hand emboridered....i made it for him when he was 3 lol it to is not in a drawer as its so old and needs mending lol

I like that one very much!!

I love Snoopy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very nice work too!

Beautiful job!! Totally agree with what others have said........A+

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..

Oooh, is there a difference ? I thought BB plywood was BB plywood .. I hope you're right cos I got a box full I have googled it and the 'difference' is in the glue !!

World-famous WW1 flying ace!!!! My all-time favorite of Snoopy's alter-egos! Used to have a comic I cut out of the newspaper (yeah...dating myself...) where WW1FA was sitting atop his trustworthy Sopwith, moaning about the weather and conditions and general low morale, etc, and asked himself if there was no way to raise the spirits of the men? Linus shows up in the last panel and says "tell them they'll be home by Christmas!" Not sure why I cut it out, cuz it wasn't until many years later when I discovered a love for History (not just the rote memorization of names/dates taught in school), that I finally understood it. Charles Schulz was also good friends with Bill Mauldin of "Willie and Joe" fame, another favorite cartoon of mine. Snoopy can often be seen talking about going over to "quaff a few rootbeers with ole Bill Mauldin". Not sure who did it, but when Charles Schulz passed away, a cartoon was circulated with a smiling Snoopy walking up to Willie and Joe. Excellent cutting, sorry for the rambling!!!

Great work. It really brings back some good old cartoons.

Love all of them. Great work Bobby. Marg

Cute projects for sure!

As always Kevin your work is top shelf, nicely done. jim
