I saw this pattern in the Scroll Saw Woodworking and Craft, magazine and showed it to my wife. She said she really liked it and so did I so I cut it about a week or so ago. I have just not got around to posting it until now. The pattern is made by Fiona Kingdon and is on page 36. She had a better wood choice then I have but I cut mine in BB PLY with a Pegas #3 blade for most of the piece. I did, however use a #2/0 spiral for the vaining. It was an all evening job in my shop to cut it out as it went pretty slow, but I am satisfied with the results. Dick heppnerguy

I found a pattern of a Dodge Challenger in the library, by @grampa, I cut it on an A3 piece (16½" x 11½") of 3mm ply. I must admit that A3, fit's beautifully on my saw but alas my eyesight and arms are not long enough to cope very well when I have the 'long' part between me and the blade. So I think I'll stick to my A4 wood from now on. A question if I may ? I wouldn't know one car from another, so do you think this is cut well enough to be given to someone who knows a lot about cars ? I intend to frame it with the same frame I used on the 'Bird on a Tap' so would like to have some honest opinions before I go ahead with it.

Had a real good day in the shop and my wife had a good day painting the COVID decorations. So far I have 56 of theCovid decorations and it might not be enough, already 21 sold.

Thanks to Don in Brooklin that made the pattern for me, the lights were purchased from Amazon (Canada) https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B072Z7NX1B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am pleased with the way they worked, I used dowels and just wrapped the lights around it. My daughter will get this one for her birthday, Ihave already some customers that are ready to order.

As others are doing I'm getting a early start on making some planned give aways for Christmas. I looked for a pattern that could be hung eiither inside or outside and found this S Good 7 1/2 x10 1/2 Merry Christmas/Cross/Oval that I felt fit that desire. I wanted to make six plaques for my neighbors and family, so I decided to attempt stack cutting. Cutting stacks of 3/4" and 1" was not difficult but was a lot slower than what I am used too. Also, dulls the blades real quick. The Oval is 1/2" Sanded Ply that I stack cut two at a time. I rought cut the oval with a #3 Pegs MGT blade staying on the waste side of the line and then used my bench mounted belt sander to true up the oval eliminating the typical marks from starting and stopping. The ovals were then sanded to a fine finish with 1500 grit paper. The Crosses are 1/4" thk BB Ply stack cut three at a time using a Pegas #1 MGT Blade. After cleanup the crosses were painted rattle can spray Hunter Green. The final coat had green glitter applied while still wet.. I did brake a small bit off in one of the stacks and had a beast of a time getting it out without destroying the stack. The paint and glitter hides the mess in one place. The words Merry Christmas is 1/8" BB Ply stack cut all six at one time using a Pegas #0 spiral blade. After clean up the Merry Christmas was paintd rattle can spray Bright Red. And Again, the final coat had red glitter applied while wet . Waiting for paint to dry and then glue to set takes a lot of time. I first glued the crosses to the ovals and then glued the words to the cross. After which I added a picture hanger on the back side and coated the entire assembled plaque with multiple coats of clear polyurethane. . Dusting the glitter onto the wet paint made it them sparkle and added another dimension to the plaques, but it is a messy job. I'm goning to have sparkles in my workshop forever .

This wall art is 28" tall and 18" wide and this time of year I really miss the changing colors of the trees, since I live in the Sonoran Desert.

Steve is one of the really good guys and I wish him well in fighting this terrible thing.

I read this earlier on Steve's blog. Hoping that treatment will slow everything down so he can be with us for many more years. My heart goes out to him and Patty.

My SIL will know exactly what car it is, he has a passion for them. !! I just wanted to ask the 'more experienced scrollers' if it was up to par for a car fanatic, as I don't have the first clue and didn't want to give him something that wasn't good enough. It's for his 'office' in the garden. I used the A3 sheet of wood because it's the biggest I have and I'll make an oak frame for it. It's just the right size to fit the space he has 'spare' over his desk. Our 'standard' photo frame sizes are much the same as yours by the look of it.

Prayers out to Steve. I appreciate all the work he does for us.

I was able to meet him at a wood show. He is as he seems, a good guy.

Prayers going up for him and his family. Sad to hear about this. Such a great and giving guy.

Hope that they diagnosed it early enough that the treatment will help him, he is a great guy for our community.

Any car nut would love that, very nice job

My barber aways ask me why I have glitter in my hair and then says never mind I don,t want to know. He,s a real cammodeian. No matter what I tell him he rolls his eyes lol.yes glitter hide a multitude of sins and brings out the best in projects as in your gem here .it's remarkably the best!!! So I,m extra careful with getting glitter on me.lol

Ray, I gathered the individual leaf patterns from the internet, cut each one, then attached them in the configuration I liked for a wall hanging. I'll look in my files to see what I have in the way of patterns for you.

In the blog post I received today, and on his website, it appears he has received uncomfortable news regarding a condition he has: Amyloidosis https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/ Best wishes he comes through this well!

I made several of these a few years ago. I adapted a pattern from Steve Good. His had an open back, I wanted to close it in. I use 0.36 watt LED to keep it cool. They come in red, yellow, blue, green and orange. I just use printer paper to diffuse the light. It's 6" x 6" x 2-3/4". I think I'll give it to my granddaughter.

Very nice @scrollerpete and thanks again to @don in brooklin on for helping with so many requests. God Bless! Spirithorse

very nice work

Praying for Steve Good to overcome this malady that he has been diagnosed with. I've never heard of it but it sounds very serious. Please, keep him in your thoughts.

Even though you are going to give it away, I think its a keeper. Nice job.

Very well done. Any car guy will know what it is. However I have seen some cuts like this have the cars brand and model cut into the background somewhere. Helps with presentation when hung where non car guys might see it. Quick question. What is the standard photo frame sizes over there? Over here standard photo sizes are 8"X10" (20.32x25.40) and 11"x14" (23.94x35.56). When I can, I will try to size my panels to suit the standard frame unless the pattern will not allow it. I will often enlarge or reduce the pattern as needed to suit a standard Photo size. An 11"X14" is not that difficut to reach while cutting. I don't use paper sizes like our Letter (8 1/2 x11) or Tabloid (11X17) for portraits, as they are not quite as proportionaly appealing.

Here you go Frank. This is a bottom view. These lamp cords were from Hobby Lobby but you can get them from Amazon at a lower cost.

I think you did a great job on it Brenda. Anyone who loves those cars would for sure love it. I have encountered issues like that you did, trying to figure out how to cut something when it’s hard to reach it.

Very nice Brenda, and I am sure that any petrol head would adore it. I know what you mean by "Short arm syndrome" or maybe in my case it's "Big Belly", because it always gets in the way when cutting large pieces, hence another reason I don't sit

That is so pretty. Love your wood choices. Marg

you did good IKE

I like it!!!

Won't be on the saw for a while. Just had knee replacement and it's the worst pain I've ever expirienced. It's kidney Stones x 5

This is the second Pink I have cut, but this one's got a softer pink not the fluro pink the last one had. Not sure what the wood is but it was nice to cut. Marg

Great job and cool pattern! And yes, the color is great!

That is in the current issue number 81. It is in the insert panel which is really hard to copy. I usually get a copy at Walmart if I see something I like.

well done, looks great. jim

We finished our Halloween cuts and decorated the office door Thanks as always in advance for reading

"Trained a Wife" you guys do live on the edge!

I've been busy with pups this week and other 'stuff' that crops up in life. But I spent a couple of evenings making this for a good friend. 20201005_160449[1].mp4

Sparked by the recent passing of a famous guitar player, I came up with a few more... Rock stars of Heaven Country stars of Heaven Jazz stars of Heaven Crooners of Heaven Actors/Actresses of Heaven You can even break some of them down further Rock Guitarists of Heaven Rock Singers of Heaven Country Singers of Heaven Female actresses of the golden age of Movies Geez, I can go on and on and on.... LOL

Wonderful cutting. As said leave as is.

"Trained your wife"? Tell me how you managed that. I've been trying to "train my wife" for 50 years and have not done it yet.

Beautiful work, amazing as it is without anything 'extra'

Very nice! Leave as is.... or a soaring Eagle in the top corner.

I have no idea where I got this pattern from. Hopefully it will be of some help. I think it might be a coloring page. Maybe someone can make a cut able pattern.

Wishing you a quick and complete recovery. Never had kidney stones but have heard horror stories abut them.

Sorry to hear about your pain waiting on my knee replacement November don’t look forward to it but I can’t walk without it been waiting two years other issues stop the replaceable my second time Hope you recover quickly mind over matter you’ll get there.

Sorry to hear that you have had to undergo surgery and it will keep you off your saw for a bit. As has been noted, work through the pain and do the exercises. Everyone I have ever heard of who did do had good results. Those who did not, did not have good results. Sounds like an easy choice, especially since you endured the pain of the surgery. prayers said that things go smoothly and pain lessens and clears soon for you and you can be back to your saw sooner then Later.

Don't forget the mobius strip. RJF An object with one continuous side. It doesn't have two sides. Can put a pen on the surface and trace 'both sides' all the way around.

Hi Travis: Word art from one of your favorite songs inside a heart, circle, rectangle triangle... whatever Fab4 P.S. Here's an oldie/sample If I had Johnny's Cash and Charlie's Pride I wouldn't have a Buck Owen anywhere

Gee...might as well list some of the other groups.......Insects, bacteria, virus...2020 is big for a specific virus, just wants you to cut it out and hang it on a wall. Don't worry about the other wall hangings, just cut wooden masks for them. RJF
