I converted this decal pattern I found on-line, called “Animals Upon Animals” by Peter Goes, to a 10” diameter scrollable pattern. His work is referred to as Yugen Kombucha Art and is associated with Yugen Kombucha, an organic fermented tea drink, skillfully brewed with powerful herbs and fresh pure juice to create wildly inspiring flavors. I actually had to add the perimeter circle border to allow many of the parts to connect as well as adding many bridges. I cut the pattern in 1/8” BB Ply and had to take a few liberties because my blade was larger than some of the details, but I think I did justice to the original Art. I used a Pegas #2/0 spiral blade for all the interior cutting and only use a Pegas #3 MGT R blade to cut the outer perimeter. The cut panel is affixed to an octagon 1/4” thick BB Ply backer painted flat black having a 12” dimension from flat to flat. I was unhappy with the appearance of the un-stained BB Ply cut panel and decided to stain it a deep Minwax Barn Red to create better contrast. Of course, if there is an octagon backer, the frame must be an octagon also. I used my usual wood choice, 1 3/4” wide poplar, but added a profile using a frame making router bit. Glue squeeze out at the many joints is very difficult to prevent, and sanding the frame at the joints to remove the glue was very difficult because of the profile. For regular flat frames I always tape the corner to prevent the glue from getting on the surface, but the profile made that impracticable….I have to find a better way. I protected the panel with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Lacquer. I stained the frame Minwax Sadona Red and finished it with clear gloss spray Polyurethane.

I thoroughly enjoyed cutting @lawson56's excellent pattern. I used to watch MASH reruns on Sunday night after the news with my parents. Dad was a Southern Baptist Minister. I remember my dad said he preferred Colonel Potter to Colonel Blake because Blake was too silly to take seriously. Another memory was watching an episode where Hawkeye was about to leave in a jeep with Colonel Potter and was acting like they were taking off in a plane. He said, "Kick the chocks out from under the wheels. Flaps up! No offense Margret." My mom laughed. It may have been the only off color thing I ever heard her laugh at. I think it did me good.

Yes, by golly. We went to Home Depot and invested in 6 8 foot 2 x 4's. We're going to put them away until he graduates high school in 3 more years. They should cover college tuition by then.

I watched this video a month or so ago. There is a great tip in about 5:55. I finally got around to taking the wax paper to the workroom. Wiped my table down before starting work on another layer of the mandala. Wow! It was so easy to spin at the corners. I have waxed the table before, but this was so easy to do as a touch up. Also did it between blade changes. Wax paper will be a fixture in the workshop now.

Simple project for cat lovers, pattern inclues both variants Video of making project Cat pattern

Thank you TD painter for the pattern

Yes,,, Definition of project 1: a specific plan or design Yes,, I do them occasionally... Just slowly working through the list I have.. sure hope I live and am active until I am at least 132 or I will never complete them all!!! Woozle Bird is going very slowly.. What am I going to make..... well sawdust! For one, I have a picture I want to cut again.. I did it once and give it to a dear friend... I want to do it again,,, for me.. and for my kids to add to the burn pile they always talk to me about... why do they hate me so,,I was a sorta good father,, I didn't beat them and I didn't drink,,, back then. But I always loved the pattern from issue 60 of SSW page 47 called "Tawny Eagle" Alway thought I would do it again.. now I well. I also want to make the intarsia birds from SSW #78 front cover...and I want to do a Marquetry background for them... Looks good in my head,,, but who knows what will happen. .. See I have planed projects.. it is just that my old brain seems to scramble some of them..

A lot younger,,,, I turned 77,,,, I think, in February,, I think,,,, probably should verify that with my wife... I get confused with algebra... You want her email address.. to ask? she doesn't talk to me much anymore.. sorry.. I have had 2 maybe 3 glasses of wine since dinner. or was that bottles..?? Just kidding.

No, it is Ocooch.... I priced it out and one, Cherokee did not have Monkey Pod and Two the Butternut was almost twice as expensive at Cherokee.. The trade off is... I have had no problem with Cherokee wood cupping,, I have had that with Ocooch wood... That is why I stacked it as it is shown and it will sit there for at least two weeks..

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.

Love those character lines, Sweet job!!!

Thank you So Very Much. You did an Awesome job!! Although I Loved Blake, I was more fond of Col, Potter. Thanks again.

Nicely done.

I really like the wood beam look! kind of looks like a boat already

6 puzzles made for the Granddaughters.

Love the pattern. Well executed and a stand-out frame.

That is so cool. Could confuse for a while. Thank you for showing your backward clock.

excellent work

That's very well done Larry

Unusual subject matter, but very well done, both the cutting and frame

Frank that's an innovative approach to rendering innovative art in scroll sawn format. I really like what you have done! I also like your frame. I knw just how tricky it is to create such a frame.

Really,,, how long are those 24" pieces..... think a minute... don't ask again too quickly!!

Never heard of that kind of art before.... I like it and you did a great job..

Quite well done. The red tint is a nice touch

That is so cool! I ordered a movement from Kitkat Clocks. Perfect for the bathrooms! Just need to decide on a design.

In between projects and looking for something different I decided to make a sign to hang on the outside of my little shop. Found a S. Good fretwork Welcome sign pattern that I used but changed the wording. Panel is 1/4” x 12” x 15” Walnut Solid Core Plywood and affixed to a 1/2" sanded plywood backer. I deepened the contrast by staining the panel with multiple coats of Minwax Walnut Stain. The script is called "Handwritten" that I have individual .svg files for each letter in upper and lower case. All cutting was done with Pegas #0 and #1 spiral blades. The panel is glued into a 3/4” wide Poplar frame that I rounded over on the Router and made a 1/4” wide x 3/4” deep rabbet to match the panel depth. I stained the frame with Minwax Honey Maple. After fully assembled, the sign was protected for outdoor use with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Polyurethane spray.

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

I got to post this a couple of months ago when the topic was Sports. Now I get to post it under Games. It's Chess board and pieces designed by Steve Good : This time, I will add photos of the drawer and a cover designed by me. I made all this for my grandson Ethan.

Bread crumbs gave him away.

Well, since JoeW. started the brainteasers, I'll show a couple of those I've cut, plus a puzzle I did mostly on the table saw, back when I was just starting to discover woodworking (and had yet to really get into the scrolling side of things).

And thats the truth!! 24" x 1/2" pieces,,,, $85 with shipping for the little pile... Beautiful wood though....
