I just can't sit around on my days off.....so I designed this sled door hanger......frame made from 3/4" pine......slats are 1/2" sanded Plywood......initial is 1/4" sanded plywood......wire hanger.......fun to make with scrap wood I had.......20"T x 11"W.......decided to keep the slats natural for more detail & look natural.......comments always appreciated......Thank you God Bless Smitty

I normally make ornaments for my cousins and their kids as a family gift exchange at Thanksgiving, but that's all off this year. So, I got patterns for the next generation as well as a few kids of the same age we have "adopted". Cut from 1/4" poplar. I stack cut the outlines and then used the hearts in the feet as well as some veining to register the name plates and finished from there.

A big thanks to @Iguanadon for the puzzle! Not special but the new puzzle was a real special purchase! I cut 2 of them this week, along with a leash holder. Also cut a small space shuttle for children, unfinished. Thanks as always in advance

R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen Thanks to Al Baggetta for the pattern.

Well I do read post a lot and sometimes I do leave a reply. Not as much as I want though. Anyway will do better.... :+} Here is a Pattern I just cut where I did have a couple hold the breath instances, but I feel I got thru them and YES I I'm Very Happy with its looks. But....Any and All Comments are Always Welcome. Good or Not so good. Oh yea some details. Did Stack 2 up using 1/4"BB and a 1/8"BB. Both came out Great. Black backer using 1/8"BB Painted. Used MY FAVORITE BLADE.............FDUR #1...................................................Thanks for looking..................Danny :+}

I wanted to make a rose pattern, but just a rose is too simple. I added dome to make 3d effect more effective. What do you think? Rose pattern Video of making rose project

Did a sign for my step-daughter's 20th anniversary. almost forgot to take a picture as I was packing it up to ship.

Hi all Here is couple of things I have started today. Mine craft just needs another coat of varnish. The soldier needs another coat of black and fixing to the base once the base has been varnished.

You all probably already know these things, but for those new scrollers that may not here are a few discoveries I made this week... Veining - Veining has been a problem for me. I don't have anything small enough to get inside some of the veins on the puzzles I've been making to clean out sawdust or fuzzies. What I found is for most of the veining, I can slip a piece of paper into the vein, slide it back and forth and use it as a quasi sand paper to get into those really tight spaces! Evapo-rust - Incredible.... Again! So I found a tool box a few days ago while walking the dogs. I looked inside and found a bunch of tools badly rusted. I took the box anyway as I was hoping I could clean up the box and re-use it. The box had wrenches, driver bits, lots of sockets and a few socket wrenches, needle nose pliers and some odds and ends tools. Here is an example of how rusted the tools, sockets and bits were: On a whim, I filled a few plastic cups with Evapo-Rust and dropped a few of the tools and sockets into each and let them soak over night. Here are the bits after the over night soak All or most of the rust has been removed but not really good for using as there is a black film on them I ran the bits and tools through a sanding mop and this is the result of the bits Easily usable now! I don't have any pics of the tools before or during soak but the results were identical. All the wrenches came out clean, the sockets all came out near perfect, the needle nose pliers are now in my stock. I was only able to salvage 1 of 3 socket wrenches... So far - I put them back in a clean Evapo-rust solution hoping I can salvage them as well. They've been soaking for 3 days now and I'll let them go one more day before tossing them out. Thanks as always in advance for reading

For rust removal, look up electrolysis, on you-tube. Works great, an will not hurt the metal like acid will. Just my two cents. Oz

I want to thank Frank for the Columbia products suggestion. I cut it with the Olson 2/0R blades I have, and it cut perfect. Ply stayed perfectly flat.. I want to thank TD for the portrait too. They are going to be very happy with this I'm pretty sure. I should have made the grain go vertical.. oh well...

Two paws up! (sorry...bad "Beauty and the Beast" pun)

In the thread: Alex Fox claims that his 'layered' version is more interesting than his original fretwork pattern of a similar scene. I purchased both patterns and made them using similar stains and similar frames. Here photos, showing both: I asked Margaret (my wife) which she preferred and her comment was that the layered version was "funky" and drew her immediate attention but that the fretwork version was "beautiful" and had more long term appeal.

As of right now, the Fretwork has 14 votes, the Layered has 0 votes, and the Can't Choose has 2 votes. I expected the Fretwork to be more popular but not by this margin. Alex, if you are reading this, I notice that most of the patterns that you are designing these days are Layered rather than Fretwork. Your Fretwork designs are great and I wish that you would do more of them. Have you considered combining the two techniques? This scene would be a good subject for such a pattern. Please give it a try.

I use a lot of 1200 wet/dry sanding sheets and they are very thin, so I cut off pieces about 3 inches long and cut the ends into a point and presto they fit into the veining gaps. Marg

Years ago my wife left a bottle of muriatic acid uncapped on my work bench. Don't know how long it was there but EVERY cast iron surface on my tools had a nasty case of rust. Table saw and hand tools. Evapo-Rust. I love it. I keep a gallon of it around. Used it several years ago restoring a Burke #4 horizontal mill. Fantastic stuff.

Wives are usually right. Nice job!

I understand muriatic acid for pools cleans every bit of rust off of metal.I would imagine a little scrub would be in order?

I cut this from 6mm thick 1/4 sawn White Oak faced veneer and backed it with the same. The backer is stained with Saman Canadian Maple water-based stain. All the sawing was done with Pegas #2/0 spiral blades and it took about 9 hours to cut. The Rosseter-Pellow frame is made of 1/4 sawn White Oak and stained with Saman Black water-based stain. After staining, the frame was sanded to give it a distressed appearance. Everything is finished with 3 coats of semi-gloss clear rattle-can spray stuff. Here is one photo taken before framing and another taken after framing:

Nice cutting! Agree, that is why I make short video to show my customers how finished project will look like. my YouTube channel

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

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.

That's amazing. Good job

You did a great job, the picture seems to come alive. You should be proud of yourself.

lol me to it seems funny to me now when my oldest daughters birthday comes around...shes been 25 for the last 4 or 5 birthdays!! lol she does not want to grow old gracefuly i guess lol

Here,s the one he patterned which i cut

Lol, I,m more interested in saving a picture than anything else. Well giving something away is the second most thing!!!

That's a little more high tech than the average Joe would want to go thru!!! Good one!!!

great job

terrific job

awesome job

Great cutting. A lovely tribute. Marg

Very nice, you did those well!

All are really well done but I love the fretwork cutting. Dynamite!

I like the pattern and you did a great job of cutting too.

You've learned well!

Very nice and well cut! Do you make your own patterns?

Looks great and the grain is fine!

Oh that's a good one!

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,m sure he played s big part in my life of scrolling. Seemed like just the pattern I needed came up from him!!!

To clean veins I use non waxed dental floss.

As far as I know HF is the only one that carries it. For surface rust I would use naval jelly though - the Evapo-rust stuff is really good, but depending on how much rust there is it's not for every application

Well done, Frank! I did not realize how many layers there were in this version when I looked at your other post with the poll. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Hi, Frank, I definitely prefer the fretwork version over the layered version. Naturally, I suppose a lot of my reasoning is because of the different skill levels required between the two projects. Both are well done and well represented. God Bless! Spirithorse

Love it. That old Chevy brings back a lot of memories.

Terrific work Frank, well done. Marg

Here's a picture of a beer tote with zombie dust as a theme.

Here's a few I did back in March, before all the quarantine stuff, to get a head start on Halloween: 1. Ash ("Evil Dead" movie series) 2. Alfred Hitchcock (writer/director of horror movies such as "The Birds") 3. H. P. Lovecraft (early 20th century horror author, creator of the 'Cthulu' and 'Elder Ones' mythos, inspiration for many modern horror writers) 4. Edgar Allen Poe (horror poet, author) 5. Oogie-Boogie Man ("Nightmare Before Christmas" movie villain) 6. no idea. Found it on Google, thought it was a wickedly cool creepy smile. 7. All of them, stained and framed.

This is my first compound cutting project. Made of aspen, walnut and an accent of cherry on the board. The drawer slides all the way through allowing access on both sides.
