Inspired by @wombatie's cell phone holder I decided my shop needed a Kokopelli on the wall.

9Made this house name recently for a friend. He edges my circular saw blades for me.so I I taught I would gift him this Pattern by sheila landry

Found another Bigfoot pattern I just had to cut. Before and after paint, still have to frame him.

I recently did a Venice scene cutting and happened to be scrolling through Pinterest and found another scene I really liked and had more detailed. I especially like the Rialto Bridge in the back ground. Lots of very thin lines in this pattern and did some mods on the fly so things didn't break. I also did my paint fill in technique on some of the dark spaces to match the background.

Do you remember me putting my 'Pegasus' in the 'Bragging' section earlier this week ? Well I shared it with another group on Facebook and got asked this.... Have you cut that out yet or is it a stencil.... ??? I'm not sure whether to be flattered or offended.

While I was finishing up my Double Trouble project a while ago, my Lady (Robin) had seen a magazine with pictures of beautiful ladies fans on the cover and ask me if I could do a cutting of a fan. The fans in the picture were very ornate and they were not suitable for making a pattern, so I went hunting for fan patterns. I found four on the Sue May web site. I did not feel only one fan would make a nice presentation so I decided to do all four and present them as a group. Yes four individual patterns but over 500 holes in total. One panel was done in one 3-4 hour cutting session using both Pegas #0 Spiral and #2/0 MGT R Blades. Four days total. All cuttings and backers were cut from 1/8” BB Ply, painted with various colors of Krylon Fusion All-In-One rattle can spray paints to “sort-of” match the colors shown in the Sue May Patterns. I use 1/4” Birch plywood to create a colored 18” x 24” full backer that the individual fan panels were affixed to. This full backer was set loose into a custom made frame cut from pre-primed Brick Mold available from Lowes. When the better half asks for something you just got to drop everything get it done as soon as possible. When she is happy, I’m happy. Now I can go back to my projects.

Brenda, I have had that happen to me recently. I scrolled some words to go behind a desk and when the pilots look at it, they say "cool decal". I then have to explain that it isnt a decal, but cut out of wood. Then I watch thier heads explode. its worth it.

WELL done, Charlie. Love Kokopelli. I made a little cigar box uke some years back... I cut a sound hole cover, with Kokopelli playing a Uke...Now you make me want to cut one ofd him to hang in my shop...

By easy I mean it's not one that'll take a few days to cut, but you'll need to because with some cuts, pieces easy to break off.

Good to be back on my saw at last !!!

Yeah, what everyone else said Brenda!

I cut a new friend this motorcycle, as he is a rider and has a nice bike. I hadn't really seen it in person when I choose this one to cut for him and it was not like the one he owns. I told him I would look for another one that matched his bike better and that he did not have to take this one if he really didn't want it. He was more than delighted with this one and I was able to find another pattern that matched his bike almost to a tee. I finished it this week and he was so pleased and happy to have it. I forgot to take a photo of it but next week when I get back home from Oregon I will have him send me a photo of it and I will post it too. Dick heppnerguy

Brenda, we all know how good your work is. I thought it was very good. If they can't tell, then I would be flattered I guess. They probably don't know much about scrolling.

If they thought it may have been a stencil, then you must have done good. Consider flattered.

I would say, be flattered!!

Since I added the dust collection to my saws instead of the blower I no longer wear a mask when cutting. I know the dust collection is effective because I can't even smell the the baltic birch anymore when I cut it. The HEPA filter in my Festool MIDI is great. I used to wear a half mask because I couldn't stand the smell. I also wear glasses so I am not that close to the magnifier.

Also my first floating frame. H. Botas pattern.

With a title like that, how could you resist looking?! I'm buried in Steve Good patterns and cutting my way out. Anyway, we have a friend who loves hummingbirds, so I made this for her. 3/4 inch pine (called for 1/2 inch but I didn't have any on hand) using #5ST Pegas blades. Now to ponder a backing color. And thanks to all of you in the Village for being here and sharing your knowledge. It has helped me greatly.

A few years ago I attended the Tradeshow in Dubuque, Iowa. Was underwhelmed by it. Was to meet Dave Monk there, but he didn't care for it & left early.

Have ago at one of these Tony. When I made them, I couldn't keep up with people wanting them for 1st Birthdays. The War Office was the biggest customer, whenever we had a niece or Nephew it was, " John do you have the letters to make up xxxx" The base is about 100mm long on the letter carriages, and made from 40 x 19 pine. The letters are cut from 75 x 19 pine. You don't have to have an engine pulling the carriages, I also had a truck and a Volkswagon beetle. Painted with household acrylics. Also a couple of "Wobblers" a dog and crocodile. I also did a cat and cow Have fun mate.

And it works! You can turn it in a complete circle over and over and . . . Saw this on Steve Good's website and it grabbed me right away. What should have been a one day project turned into 3 - Murphy's Law paid me a visit with the tension knob not tightening. It's doing its job now, but I need to order a new one. The underside where the tension rod is - well, the indentations that the tension rod sleeve catches on were just about worn smooth. I noticed if I apply downward pressure while applying tension, it will tighten up just fine. If I just move the tension knob horizontally, it doesn't take up the tension like it is supposed to. Anyway, I had a happy ending once I got that sorted out. Thinking of staining/painting the support and base a darker color and just doing a clear coat on the shells.

This is a Sue Mey pattern but I changed the base because I didn't like the big large round base I prefer the smaller oval one. The base is pine and Kokopelli is blackheart sassafras. This one is for me, I have loved this little fellow every since I first saw him about 20 years ago. Marg

Hi Found this in my projects door started it last year but never got round to finishing it. I added the poppies today just needs some edging now.

Hi This was a simple steve design but looks great when put together. Letters where a pig though took three atempts as the e's kept breaking. Also had to modify the O in MOM to a U for uk MUM

Another Steve Good pattern (he is so good to us scrollers), although he suggests 1/2" timber for the basket, I used 1 1/4" Mahogany as I have lots at hand, the top and bottom are as Steve suggests 1/4" again Mahogany, this has come out at 5" tall 5 3/4 long and 4 1/2 deep ( I did enlarge the pattern slightly), not sure what it will used for yet, but I'm sure something will come to mind

Hey Brenda, glad to see that you are back on the saw. I did see your Pegasus and it does look great! I can see how it could be mistaken for a template. Just take it as a compliment and move on.

Nice cutting. Great display

You have a tree in your shop?

great job

Whats wrong with these people that design magnifiers. A wiper and sprayer, washer solution should come with it. RJF

Very nice! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Well done, Charlie! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

You've a flair for high detail projects!!!! And why not it makes the project that much desirable!!!

Love the contrast. What size is it?

I have a lot of friends that like this pattern. It's my fourth time cutting it

Do you make your own wheels John Or do you buy them

I hate getting old. I cant remember who made this first but they so inspired me I had to cut it also for my oldest son and newest Harley owner. It’s a botas pattern. I want to thank him and all the pattern the pattern designers out there for all y’all do for us afflicted with this horrible thing know as scrolling

HI all, After being on this board for a long time I decided to become a silver patron, 20 dollars is nothing for the weath of information, and fun I have had being on this village site. Thanks to all of you here for being here for help, support, ideas and fun Bill New Richmond, Wisconsin

Welcome to the village... so glad we have a new mate....

welcome to the village, your first job is terrific

Very nice cutting. Looks fabulous.

Yes, spirals! 2/0 and 0. I haven't mastered straight blades, at all.

Great work, Dick. Very well cut.

I lived in Florida for 8 years in the new Port Richey area. I did enjoy my time there, but eventually moved back north. Those summer temps of 95 daily and rain every day, plus the 95 percent humidity finally did me in. They were just too brutal for me. However, I did enjoy the Gulf fishing for Grouper and Red Snapper. The winters were very nice too.

Nice job of cutting. I like it.

I have been on the back of a couple of motor bikes and I have cut a couple but that's the extent of my knowledge. Great work Dick, I can see why he liked it. Marg

Beautifuly cut. Would be very nice to hang in a lodge or the like up north. But looking at it now, all I see is snow, and the reason I moved South to Florida.
