This project is finally framed. I actually stack cut two. The other will not be framed, but shrink wrapped. The pattern is by Gary Browning called In The Saddle. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1R MGT blades. The finish is two coats spray Lacquer.

Wanting to try something different I did this 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" multi layer project, Dolphins pattern by Alex Fox. All 1/8" BB Ply. Most cutting done using an Pegas #0 MGT. Rather easy cutting except for the need to be very consistant and precise with the outline circle that needs to be identical for each layer. I made sure my cut was on the waste side edge of the line and found my dremel tool handy for truing the layers up. I selectively stained various parts of the layers witn a very light colored stain in order to help distinguish the layres while the other other areas had just a natural stain applied. The 6 layer project panel was finished with multiple coats of clear lacquer. When I do any kind of multi level projects I am picky about the panel outside edges showing so I will almost always try to provide some form of frame to finish the project. This project did not lend itself to a conventional frame and I did not see it as a wall hanging anyway. So I used simple coner molding from lowes tha has just about an inside leg dim of 3/4". Simple mitered corners and painted deep brown and then coated with a few coats of poly to protected even more. I glued the completed panel into the frame and fabricated a fixed lean back stand out of scrap 1/4" BB Ply and clued it to the back. This piece, a Walnut Dragon Vase and my Grumpy Old Man desk sign have been the few departures for me from doing the more, I would say, conventional wall hanging type artwork that prefer to do. .

A gift for a friend. If I've posted before, sorry. My memory ain't what it used to be.

Is there anyone who like cutting straight lines? My new pattern - multi-layered geometric ornament Pattern Video of making ornament

Made from scrap hard woods. From about 3 to 6 inches in length. Design by T & E designs. They will all ==Pop a Top. Just getting some practice on the "king"!

Since I have a bad shoulder and cannot play golf, I spent sometimes in the shop. The Christmas decorations with masks on might be a good seller this year, pattern from Sue Mey. Also my version of looking through a window and some other items on my to do list. Enjoy

Bamboo Bomber In 1939 Cessna Aircraft starting to produce the model T-50 twin engine, 5 place, fabric covered transport aircraft. Its original intent was to compete with Beech Aircraft’s Twin Beech 18 at a lower price. When WWII broke out, it was enlisted as an executive trans port and trainer and went through a series of different designations including AT-17 and UC-78. The majority of production aircraft operated with dual Jacobs R-775-9 radial engines and had an operational range of about 650m. Over 4,500 were produced under various versions. The original name of the aircraft was the “Bobcat” but later many pilots dubbed it the Bamboo Bomber because of its wood and fabric construction. The aircraft is most recognizable for being in the 1950’s T.V. series Sky King. The intro of the series "Out of the blue of the Western sky comes Sky King!" and his aircraft the “Songbird” flying across the screen inspired a lot of kids of that time to get into aviation

Actually 6 started but two came in and left today before I could take pictures. #5 mgt blade from Denny our member.

A Steve good pattern ,dog lead holder made with some scrap pine I had from an old shelf

I put a Jacob's Chuck in my drill press. I believe it is a #32. It is a key type chuck. It hold everything from 0 to 3/8" so no need for a pin vise or any other adaptor.

Best of luck with your move. It's a really nice area you're going to, lots to do.

I'm just 1 1/2 hours away, you can come up and use mine!

I'm always collecting and saving patterns that interest me. Recently, I've been looking at Art Deco patterns. Many of the cars I have cut are Art Deco style of the '20's and '30's. The Genre started in the early '20's with the movie Metropolis and came to an end at the beginning of WWII. I bought some 1/8" Bubinga over a year ago at the NC woodworkers show and finally found a pattern I liked. I didn't realize that when I started, there would be more than 1,000 holes! I did stack two panels at a time so it went a little quicker. The top and bottom are 1/2" bubinga. I had some parchment paper that I sprayed with shellac and then sprayed the inside of the wood pattern with contact cement and adhered the the parchment paper to it on the inside. I used a 40 W LED on the inside with a rocker switch on the wire. I think I'm back to cars and planes. A lot less holes!

I didn't wanna get off topic by posting pics of my bikes, BUT the title of this thread has MC in it, so here goes! One of the first cuts I made when I got back into woodworking a few years ago. I made this for a charity ride for the American Legion to help raise money to fight children cancer. This is the guy that won it in an auction, he paid $90 for it. Blue bike is a 2002 Kaw. 1500 Meanstreak Bottom bike is my 2005 Kaw VN2000. It has the 2053cc engine in it. Very powerful bike. Unfortunately it has been a garage queen the last couple of years. Ridden only 3 or 4 times per year. It has gotten so bad on the roads with everyone always on their phones it's just too dangerous anymore.

Thanks ,it's for my dog Milo

Just remember Ralph, just because you’re not scrolling doesn’t mean you stop coming here. You are a family member and we need to hear from you regularly!

Pack your tools on the pod last so when you arrive the tools come off first. The other stuff is not important as long as you can scroll! Goood luck with your move and be safe.

I made at least 100 mini bird houses and never use a clamp but wrap the piece of wood with clear packing tape for the first cut and also for the second cut, it lubricate the blades and keep the piece together for the second cut. I tried the clamp and I found it get in the way more than help but everyone is different, as far as I am concerned whatever works better for you, go for it.

Just staying busy

I finally got around to getting into the shop full time again. Well more full time than it has been anyway I bought a Poplar board this week and placed a bunch of patterns and cut a bunch of puzzles. Here are the current puzzle cuts (I still have 4 more to do) drying after a mineral oil bath: There's a: Hippo, Tiger, Horse, Dachshund, Labrador, Mermaid, Manatee and a Dolphin We've also started coloring bases for those puzzles that we cut them with, so this is the 3 water bases: We still need to seal the water bases with shellac - the food coloring comes off on your hands not sure why but shellac stops it/seals it Still need to color the ground bases - grassy color for the land animals I think I've officially become an "Iggy-ite" A big thanks to @Iguanadon for his videos, guidance and patience with my questions - Scott Rocks big time! Thanks as always in advance for reading

That is just Down Right Amazing.

Nice work. I do have a question though! Why stay out of trouble--there is no FUN in that!

I ,ve not seen these before as far as I remember.thet are pretty darn good!!!

6 mo. is a very long time. That's not a good thing. Well at least you can search an find more patterns in the mean time!!!!

beautiful job

BEST BET IS BUY A NEW ONE. THEY ARE LIKE OT;HER TOOLS THEY WEAR OUT, UNLESS IT HAS COLETS ITN IT , OTHER WISE JUST BUY A NEW ONE. i HAVE USED THEM FOR YEARS IN THE MACHINE SHOP AND THEY DO WEAR OUT. AMAZON HAVE THEM FOR $8 TO $12 ike

I routed the cove before I put the pattern on it.

You made it better in everyway!!!

All projects to be proud of!!!

Russ Beard pattern 1" pine #2 pegas ss

Scare me!!! What a cut!!!!

Hi, Ray, @octoolguy Do you have any photos of that ornament cut? I'm having trouble picturing that in my mind's eye. Thanks and God Bless! Spirithorse

I understand what you are saying Ray.

My experiences so far with compound cutting have been using 3/4 x 1 1/2 stock and the patterns come all the way out to the edge of the material so I have to do all the cutting using the clamp on the side where the pattern doesn't touch the outside edge of the wood. Does that make sense? I understand what I wrote but I can see it in my head. If you are confused, I'll add a pic of the pattern.

No Marg, he's selling his house to. Were all moving together.

"Mineral oil has issues too. I did a bit of research into mineral oil, not random people on the internet but actual research papers. Mineral oils are absorbed through your skin and can cause health issues. Unfortunately, most, if not all, of the information is behind a money wall where you have to pay to read the research. Mineral oil is a liquid byproduct of refining crude oil to make gasoline and other petroleum products." Mineral oil is sold in most stores as a natural laxative. It is meant to be taken internally for it to work, although I've never tried using it that way...LOL. It's also in cosmetics, baby oil, massage oil, that's all I'm going to tell about that use...LOL, and a host of other things in everyday life. Maybe there's an "industrial mineral oil" also that's not as refined ??? I'm not worried about the mineral oil itself, if I had to take a tablespoon of something in the shop I put on wood....that would be better than lacquer or shellac! You can get a pint of mineral oil at Walmart for $1.98...at Home Depot Watco Danish Oil is $8.98. If you're doing one or two or a few it doesn't matter. When making a hundred to two hundred puzzles it does , at least to me. Walgreens Mineral Oil _ Walgreens.html

Very impressive indeed. Awesome work. Marg

6 Months without scrolling????????????????? Could you not have taken your scroll saw to you son's house? I feel your pain. Stay in touch. Marg

I find the tape becomes loaded with saw dust even when I burnish the tape securely covering the scroll line. Am I missing something? As a result I seldom do compound cutting.

I have one of those old fashion machinist vices with wood grips replacing the metal ones, I clamp small parts, and sand by hand. that may work. Carl

I made a mop useing 150 grit sandpaper. I use it on my benchtop drill press, next to the slowest speed. when I sand puzzzles I use my mouse , and then the sanding mop. on the part that you showed I am very carefull when sanding with the mop. no on it getting away from you it happens but I have a sheet of cardboard sert up so The part will hit the Cardboard.. I haven't broke a part since. blut with me saying that my next one will probably be broke, and that is part of the business but not on a regular basis. Ive used this ;mop for the past 3 years and it still looks good. IKE

Harvey Byler is the artist, check out the various puzzles on my site and I also sell the patterns for him, scroll down to the PATTERNS area, $3 each. www.WoodcraftByScott.com If you have any questions at all, let me know... I have puzzle zombies literally across the globe.

I hate to break it to you, but... you cut them all wrong. The lettering is backwards. Nice work, puzzle zombie!

If you decide to cut this, as you get to the center of each leaf, things get a little thin. You may want to go a little wider or don't go to the very end to leave some strength.

Ditto. When I am doing a compound cut, I always start with it clamped. Why. Because I learned it here from the experts and Steve Good’s site. I always try to listen to the experts. I made my clamp from Steve’s pattern and instructions. He posted a new pattern just this week for a compound cut and he has link to the clamp https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2020/09/compound-cut-tea-light-candle-stand.html if you do a search on his blog, you will find lots of patterns and detailed posts on how to cut, use the clamp, etc. you can also do a search here as there have been several posts discussing best practices on cutting compound cut patterns. One in particular was a while back now that I started asking questions about blades to use. Lots of great info, provided by a lot of the folks here that helped me a lot.

I started scrolling last February when my wife bought me a scroll saw for Fathers day and I absolutely love it.

Welcome to The Village. A lot of free patterns to download and cut here, help yourself. be sure and post your projects as you finish them. We can help you in almost any question you may have, you just need to ask. Be sure to post and reply to others, as that is how we get to know one another. I lived in NC for almost 3 years, as I was stationed in Fort Bragg. The southern humidity was the most difficult part to adjust to. I now live in Arizona and the extreme heat is easier to live with then the humidity was, for me. Hope to see you posting here often. Dick heppnerguy
