From my first pattern. I have learned a lot on this one. Next my granddaughter!

I just love making bowls

All cut with #1 spiral blade - no finish on them

This one is for my beautiful Ladyfriend. Now I will have to get back to "Need to do" projects

If you are up for a challenge I recommend this shelf. It took me forever to complete. If you have already done this one, I'd love to see it.

I made the Steve Good penny drop game, lots of fun for the kids, had to dig up pennies though, that was tough, they were discontinued in Canada 9 years ago! Forgive my beginner scroll saw skills. First time doing inside cuts. I veneered the top of the box beforehand (should have veneered the back of that piece also).

Just finished this one for my daughter as she loves Giraffes,just need to trim down mount board and hang it up !

I wanted to try to make a football bowl. So I made an oval about the same size as a football. Outer ring is about 11inches. I chose Myrtle for the wood. I wanted about 1/4 inch thick walls. So it comes out to 22.5 degrees angle. So I drilled the holes and cut the rings. Glued the rings together but left off the bottom. That way I could sand the inside of the bowl. I used a foam pipe cover to hold sandpaper easier. The outside was sanded with palm sander. After is was all glued up, I used butcher block conditioner which has Carnuba wax. Here is a youtube video that shows before oil and after oil. Here are pictures. I think it looks more like an egyptian boat.

We in the Scroll Saw community are fortunate to have Steve Good. He generates countless patterns for free. I have cut many but today I was cutting a bunch of keychains for the staff at our local coffee shop and I realized how grateful I am to Steve for his Key chain program. For those who are new to scrolling or may not have seen the program it makes the most fantastic gifts. The link to the program is way down near the bottom of his daily blog at https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/

Great work, I like the frame too.

Looks great and you can certainly tell who it is, that's always a bonus. Well done. Keep up the great work. Marg

Great idea, thanks Barb. Marg

I have waxed my table. This is just a quick way to "top it up"

6 puzzles made for the Granddaughters.

The Wet Bandits, aka Sticky Bandits. I'm grateful to Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern for 30 years of laughing as well as watching my children and grandchildren laugh at their work in the Home Alone movies Made this for my shop wall but I think I'll bring it in the house every December.

Ordered the saw 3-17, delivered 3-23. Under a week, holy cow!. Assembled and running on the 23rd. Finally had some time to start cutting test patterns. I didn't have the table squared to the blade, but fixed that tonight. One of the things I cut uses a sliding dovetail 1 1/2 inches thick, so I cut some test ones in material just under an inch. Stacked 3/16" 4 in the stack so 12/16". The curvy thing is a "sky hook" a balance toy to amuse the kids. Some pictures:

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.

Okay,, I am confused as to what I saw/wrote. It has been bothering me that I stated that Cherokee wanted twice as much for Butternut wood than Ocooch.. I kept thinking about it and just did not feel right about what I said. I decided to check again and went back to Cherokee to check... I did not see that they even had Butternut or Monkey Pod. So I guess please pay no attention to what I said... The wood I ordered came from Ocooch... It is beautiful but I certainly do not want to give false info on Cherokee Wood.. Ocooch and Cherokee are usually close in price... Where I find Ocooch a little cheaper is in the shipping.. even though they are a great deal farther from me than Cherokee..

Well done.

Fantastic. Looks just like him.

That’s looks beautiful. Looks like hours of scrolling. Well done.

Beautiful work. Very nice spiral blade cutting.

Well I gave this a try on the blue shop towels and it does a great job at a less price than tack cloths. Thanks.

WOW! Jim afforded some great patterns and you did a great job with them...

Great job on all of them. That is an outstanding collection.

Very well done. I guess you were real busy!

I had to wax the DeWalt. The Pegas is over 18 months old and the epoxy finish is like new.

Impressive work. Minimum amount of cuts to bring out the facial details. I like it.

awesome job

I agree, Fantastic job!! Looking forward to your next cutting.

I would love to make a sky hook, where did you get the pattern? Anything to amuse the kids...

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.

I like it. Looks great.

About getting used to it: The clock is, temporarily, sitting beside our TV and both my wife and i can easily tell the time by it.

I have waxed the table, this is just a great top up in between full waxing.

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.

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.

So good I can hear his voice.

Excellent! One of my favorite actors.

Wish I could say I did this !!! You did it proud!!!
