Finished this up today Steve Good pattern

Quarter inch BB with Red Gum (Australian Eucalyptus) veneer. My first attempt at veneering and there are a couple glue starved spots where small pieces of the veneer came off. My next project is a Clayton Boyer clock. Have spent quite a bit of time studying the patterns and instructions and am getting a little concerned I've bitten off more than I chew.

The guy in the middle was our leader rusty rankin. He lived on his property which stretched back to the original Spanish land grant. Was 7 miles by 7miles. Originally it was down to 5 acres on the neches river in Sweeney switch Texas. We lost him 2 weeks ago. Got to go down and say good bye to my best friend in the world the day before he decide to turn oxygen and antibiotics off double pneumonia. Other guy is Bob. We spent years cooking on the Chuck wagon at Dollywood. Silver dollar city rodeos. Best times of my life outside my kids I ever had. End of the trail. Fixing to take this to brother Bob in Tennessee. for those that got there picture 10 years before last year Rusty was Dollywood Santa also. my tribute to my friends. Love miss you rusty.

This is fun thing intended to bring everyone a smile. I designed and made this backwards wall clock to give to my grandson Ethan for his birthday next month. I purchased the clockworks from a company in England that makes such a mechanism for clocks that work by projecting a mirror image. I very much doubt that this mechanism was intended to be utilized as I have done. Should a demand arise, I have enough supplies to make three more clocks. I've decided that I like it enough that one of these clocks will be for me. I cut the clock face from two 6mm thick layers of Baltic Birch plywood and used paint from a bunch of different cans in my shop in order to come up with 12 different colours with sufficient contrast.

This would be perfect to hang in the bathroom on the wall opposite the mirror. That way you can quickly check the time while shaving. I like it!

finally done with this one other than still not sure of what color background. light blue, some kind of sunset, etc. any ideas?

Found this pattern on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try. It used more wood than I planned! 12 panels BBPW 1/8" and lots of clips. I stacked cut everything. I sprayed contact glue on both sides of a piece of paper and trimmed to make it happen. 3 panels x 4 and 4 panels x I forgot?? for the clips (a lot). Used "Off" to get it off. Since nothing is glued (sort of) using the clips and panels together is a real challenge. Everything is very fragile trying to slide the panels and clips together. I even filed the clip inserts to 1/8" to make sure they all fit together without too much effort (not). The last panel for the light did not go well and I cracked and broke it and had to make another. (slightly over sized). I decided to make it easier to get to the bulb. I would screw that panel in place. I cut some 1/4" strips at an angle that would be flush with the top panel (30 deg.?) and ca glued in place and added some 3/8" #4CS screws that worked out well. The center star accepted a standard lamp rod with a little threading and I used a candelabra lamp fixture with a 40w led globe bulb. The original design was for a hanging lamp but decided to use a lamp base my wife had from another project. Finish is shellac with satin lacquer. I've included the original drawing and the enlarged pattern I used for the panels and clips. Have fun.

The birdhouse is Ash and the little birds are Purple Heart. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #5 and #7 MGT blades. Comments welcome.

I made a big pile of Junk --and they love it! 25 x 18 overall I started with a 5 stack of 1/8 baltic cut with #5 and 3 Pegas mg blades to cut the junk pile -- the black is 3/8 and the letters 1/8 That pile thoroughly intimidated me from start to finish but it came out fairly close to my idea

Just finished this one along with a bunch more I will post soon.

I finally got this done, or I should say as far as I can go. I used all hardwoods, wenge-cherry-walnut-tiger wood, and was really challenged. I think intarsia must be a foreign word that means taking good square and flat wood, cutting into odd shapes and then trying to piece it together in a pattern! Anyway I learned A LOT

This is my very first puzzle. Just got done with it for my Son's Birthday tomorrow. Its 66 pieces.

I did this out of cherry, and I have to say hanging it was the biggest problem. I ended up using the command adhesive hangers, not my favorite but I could not figure another way to get it close to the wall. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I love Rod Stewart's song Forever Young and thought these lyrics go well with this picture. May our children and grandchildren know this is true of how we feel about them.

Love the light!!!

I have found the problem Kevin, as this screenshot shows, we are only allowed A4 in Europe. As you quite rightly point out, all sizes are available in the USA but we are limited to what we can have. I did find a site in the UK that does A3 (11" x 17") and have ordered 100 sheets (min. order). The cost of this is £50.46 when VAT is added (but postage is free). This means the paper will be used sparingly and will need to be factored into the price of the piece/s that I cut. I don't sell, it usually gets given away or donated so I will be extra careful. take care and stay safe

2 products that are superior to oil based exterior finishes: 1- general finish 450 2- sherwin williams A100 non tinted. this is an exterior house paint base. non tinted, it dries clear. house paints hold up for years and years. oil based need maintenance in a couple of years.

Amazing job

That is a fantastic memorial tribute, gator! I am really sorry to hear about the loss of your friend but, I'm glad you got the opportunity to see him before he passed. My prayers and condolences to you, Bob, and all the family members. God Bless! Spirithorse

This scrolled Red Tailed Hawk is cut from a piece of purpleheart that is 3/4" x 13" x 11" and finished with a satin polyurethane. It is mounted on a 3/4" x 16" x 15" board that was finished with a hammered aluminum spray paint.

Your a master with your fine skills!!!

Nothing short of expectations from you!!!

3/4" Red Oak.

Just completed this Mahogany box with Maple inlay, Nothing special, I just like making Boxes a lot.

Amazing skills!!!

We could not get out to get Easter cards for the Grandkids so I made some gift holders. Quick and easy. (FYI. That is a $20 Canadian Bill)

Nothing new for you!!! Nothing faint of heart for you!!! You pulled the rabbit out of the hat on this gem!!!

I've never totally understood how you do these but they are razor accurate in every detail ,color & finish.

I’m sorry for your loss. Great memorial work.

Sorry for your loss but what a beautiful tribute and memorial!

Quality controlled all the way!!! Health scrolling!!!!

Just having a good ol time Bobby!!! Right nice sharp cuttings you did so well!!!

Thanks for your input. I accidently came across it on Pinterest and had to do some searching to find the actual pattern. I found the designer on Thingyverse. Here is a pic of his name and contact info.

Sorry to here this. You did and Awesome job.

WOW!!! That is some kind of AWESOME!!!.I would be just a little crossed eyed before I was done.

That’s fantastic. What a wonderful idea and excellently executed.

Sorry for the lose of your friend. You have made a beautiful portrait of the three of you.

Never seen the likes of this project!!!! Atta boy!!! Sure looks like a challange!!!!

You might also look into Behr finishes. I made a gate for my daughter's home and finished it with Behr clear and it has lasted quite well. Also, look at deck finishes. There is one, I think it may be Johnson's that works well.

Finished this up today. Thought I would post both together. I love working with Cedar.

Nice cutting. I also like Cedar. Smells good too although it makes me sneeze a bit when cutting it. It just cuts so smooth.

My wife used to repair lamps and had some pieces from an old lamp. The bottom base looks to be made of 3 pieces glued up and turned and the spindle seems to be turned also. Glad she had them. I was thinking I would have to build some sort of tall box frame for the base. Cutting this project wasn't bad but because of the clips, the assembly drove me a little crazy.

Wow So Awesome. And always a Powerful Message. Excellent job!!

OH MAN!!! Now that is Just So Cool. Awesome job!!!

What a lovely idea and it will last longer than a card, not sure if the money will though. Marg

Powerful fretwork! Well done! Happy Easter to you also. God Bless! Spirithorse

Nice work Don, I am sure they will treasure these much more then any store bought card and no doubt love the $20 enclosed.

Smashing cut Dick

That is nice! Is purpleheart hard to work with being so hard? I have a chunk of it and was considering using it in a project.
