I have loved this pattern ever since I first saw it and after Brenda posted hers, it jogged my memory and I finally got around to cutting it. Thank you, Brenda for your help with this one. I actually stack cut it and have one more to figure out what exactly I am going to do with that one. Might put it on my garage wall or give it to a family member or friend. who knows. I cut this on 1/4 inch BB Ply and used my 'go to' blade,(#3R MG Pegas) for all of it. Dick heppnerguy

I decided to remake one of my fretwork pattern to multi-layered one, and here is what came out of it. If you find cutting advanced fretwork difficult - layered one is much easier and looks more interesting. Video of making Pickup project Pickup pattern

I recently asked for a pattern to be made for my daughter of her father in law who passed away recently, well I had 2 very nice patterns made for me, so I asked my daughter to choose and she chose the one by Jim Blume put I would also like to thank TDpainter for taking the time to also make a pattern I really appreciate it. This was cut in 3mm ply. Sorry about the shadow that covering part of the photo. I added the dates and the plane, he was a one eyed Bombers supporter. Marg

new cutting called Heritage. It is 12 x16 and cut in 1/4" Baltic birch. Pattern by Neptune in the library.

Made this sign this afternoon......”Coffee until wine” .....it's 12 x 12....pine frame stained with Kona stain.....back is 1/2" sanded plywood......wording is 1/4" sanded plywood.......used 3 different fonts......comments are always appreciated....... God Bless

!/4" Russian Baltic Birch. 2/0 Pegas MG. No finish yet and needs a backer. I posted another photo in "General " category that shows splinters being lifted on it. This a Sam Custodio's pattern. He has a good sense of humor.

Finished this Black Lab today 11x13 frame as I took a larger frame and cut it down to fit picture, pattern is from Russ Beard, loss count on drilled holes, took a while to cut.

My lady uses a local Chiropractor who is a real nice friendly guy. She has been showing off my projects to him and he wants me to use his watting room walls to display some of my work, which I plan to do. In between other projects I put together a pattern for this 5 1/2" X 21" Plaque to hang in his office. I used two layers of 1/4" thick Poplar. Backer layer painted Black. The small script font is Birds of Paridice Font from dafont.com. Scrollable by just adding a few bridges with Pegas 2/0 MGT blades. Did have a couple of repairable problems that you can see if you look close....on the wall from a few feet away it wont be noticeable. My bigest problem with this plaque was trying to cut toward the ends with the panel rotated directly at my stomach...my arms are really not long enought to see and control the cut. When rotated the other way the panel just cleared the saw but my light arm kept getting in the way. Gotta be more careful about the project size in the future . The second project is a slightly modified Russ Beard Eagle (#1) pattern downloaded from the laibrary. The modification was to eliminate the small frame as part of the pattern and added a little detail to the bottom to make the patten 11" X 14" friendly. Top panel is 1/8" BB Ply and the bottom layer is 1/4 Walnut solid Core plywood staind dark Walnut. Lacquer Finish. Pegas #2/0 and #0 Spiral balades The panel is set loose into a store bought frame from Hobby Lobby. I know, lots of Eagles! Kinda my thing...still have a bunch more eagle patterns waiting.

Whenever I'm feeling a bit too confidant I need to pull this out -- give myself a bit of humility -- this thing is insane!!

I have so many projects to do, I spent about 4 hours in the shop today. I have an order for 30 angels (3 different styles) have to get ready for Christmas inventory and many more things that I would like to cut. I really don’t like cutting the same thing over and over again ( angels) but it was requested by a very good friend and just could not say no. To take a break I cut a toothpick holder just for fun. Enjoy.

HI My Dad was asked to make a wooden box frame for a family member that has recently passed away. My dad asked me to make a frame for a photo to go in. I also gave him the idea of the fish which I did for him. Here is the result not completly finished. Will have led stripe light in when finished. The finished item will be going the wall of one of his daughters...

Finished and sent off -- I think it came out great! Completed size is 36 x 24 finished with Helmsman spar urethane (will be mounted on his house ). I'm having fun with these but my driveway looks like it snowed sorta -- lots of sawdust from grinding the shape. The final picture is the one I used for a pattern.

I cut this earlier this year. Stack cut 3 from 1/8" bb ply. Put in a standard frame with craft paper as the back.

Great one. I really enjoy Sam's patterns too. I have cut several of his but none for awhile.. Dick heppnerguy

I will copy you note above and put it in my 'how to' file on my hard drive Dick heppnerguy

Looks like the sort of stuff Malcom Tibet’s does

This is the 182nd cross I've done over time. Nice piece of oak for a pattern I really like. 183 and 184 are sitting on my saw half done. I have 92 on the walls in the garage and including in the ones in the house I have 119 all together. No idea what I'm gonna do with them all.

This is for real? What's it called?

That was not my problem here. It seemed it had to do with the format I saved the photo with. I think I have it figured out not, if I don't forget Dick heppnerguy

What a fancy font cutter you are!!! I envy your skills!!!!

WOW!!!!

Dick I love the colours you choose. Makes the cutting pop. Terrific job on this one.

Thank you. I am going to give one of these flags a try. I just love them.

It is a beautiful cutting Dick but I'm not too sure about the blue background with the pale wood. Great work though. Marg

Great work on both Frank. It's good to have somewhere to show your work. Marg

This type of sign making has become quite popular lately. Things sort of do that from time to time. I have also been considering making a sign in this manner but have not gotten around to doing it yet. Very nice sign, I can nothing in the suggestion line of thought, accept it is time to give another one a start. Dick heppnerguy

I,m not into halloween but thought my friend would like this that gives me a spot in her store that I haven,t filled in a long time. Steve Good pattern

Last but not least to make it the day.these go to the Winn Dixie stockman. Cut with Denny,s MGT #5 blade

I will go see if I can find it and download it and check it out. Thank you so much for the information. Dick heppnerguy

Looks like a Baritone Horn. Grandad on dad's side played TWO of them AT ONCE! Dad was third generation musical Vaudeville. Great grandpa played Two trombones at once sitting in a chair working the slides with his feet. Grandpa played two baritone horns at once,( and a ton of other instruments), even played them during a TV interview on his 99th birthday. Dad's favorite was a trumpet, he even played with the great Bob Wills at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa. That is a cool Baritone! Wonder how many years it took to make it...LOL

That should be our NATIONAL MOTTO! Very nicely done.

Your "friend" is definately on the dark side...he will realy like this cut. You did a great job. I'm with your wife on the frame! Just me, but I'm not into the burnt finish Might have been better if just distressed.

J/K, well kinda.... Wife and I did a project together today getting ready for our first event in a few weeks. We made an Iggy special display rack Still needs a finishing job and a bit more sanding but came out fine. Made from scraps around the shop including: Pallet wood, wood trellis' for the cross members and some old 1/2" ply laying around. Had enough to make 2 but stopped at the one for now. Thanks always in advance for reading

Very nice cuttings Pete and very kind of you to do. The tooth pick holder is a fantastic idea.

Very nice Kevin, well done. Marg

So sorry for your loss Dick. Beautiful tribute. It also lasts longer than flowers. Marg

Great suggestions. I did not sand first. That sounds like the problem. The light coat of shellac sounds like a good idea.

You can also convert in gimp, if you have that. Tom

Looks like a tuba -- and yeah it's for real -- i guess -- somebody posted it saying this guy did it while on lockdown for covid

that is a perfect way to display a lot of items in a smaller space, yet easy to see. Great idea Dick heppnerguy

Thanks for the reply and thanks for sharing the patterns, Kris! God Bless! Spirithorse

Brilliant. Great cutting.

Great work, sorry for your loss. x

Finished product looks awesome......2 thumbs up!!

Using the correct type and size blades for the wood you use makes a big difference. Blades have a specific purpose and are not one size/type fits all.

beautiful......simply beautiful!!! and thank you for allowing us to use the patterns!! when i get a new printer ( ours wont work anymore after connor knot it down,,,,i usuly stack cut my fret work and i believe these would be nice gifts for the different churches here in our little village....i made a bookcase just a small one years ago and i carved some reglious pictures in the side i'll take some pictures of it soon and put it up

Kevin, you are beyond the expert level on words! I wish I had have the ability to cut them as well as you do! Love these words in particular - all great messages.

Wow, that is awesome.

I cut a set out of walnut an popular. Used Pegas MG # 5. It has been awhile but I think I was able to cut 4 pieces with one blade.

Thanks everyone! For those of you who wanted to see the finished product here it is!
