I cut this same pattern about a year ago and gave it to my son. I decided I needed one on my shop wall too. The awesome pattern is by @Kris Martinson. It's cut in 1/2 red oak with a stained poplar backer.

It's killing me to not share this publicly so I decided to share it here. Thanks to the Help of Jessica Boehm for making a pattern from a photograph, I'm shipping my son's present overseas. He lives in Germany! So until he gets it, I can't brag publicly . So here it is!!! I'mm really happy how it came out!

Here is neat little clock I finished about 2 months ago. I forgot to post it here. I made it from walnut and maple.I took the clock movement out to clean and vacuum it. I'll put it back together later today after I clean it. It has a neat little pendulum bob I made. I used 1/16". 1/4". and 3/8" wood. Mostly cut with an Olson 2/0 reverse tooth blade. It is called the "Black Forest Clock from Wildwood on the Cherry Tree web site. It has little critters scattered about. It is only about 18/19 inches high. I had fun making it.

I remade my old hummingbird pattern (oval shape) to shadowbox, which one do you like more? Video of making project Hummingbird patterns

A previous customer sent me a text-- "Bandit"-Cricket--Condor-Kodiak-&-Sweet Pea" ---- make up the stall signs for these horse names--ANY WAY YOU LIKE! I had made horse stall signs for them before. What a fun time this was. Lots of thinking- all designs are from T & E designs =--same source for the fonts. Woods are pine, cedar, fir, & some unknowns- the grips on the revolver are extremely hard, I have no idea of the species- color is just clear coated on them. Some thin plywood shop scraps, etc. Even used rawhide for the hanger on "Cricket". A lot of fun and a lot of work too. Customer has seen pictures of ""Bandit & Condor" only so far. "Bandit" even has turned parts! The pegs on "bandit" are used rifle cases. Many of the pegs on the others are golf tees that I buy in huge quantities for making key racks. Some light torching on some of the signs, then a quick poly spray over it.

A couple of Steve's patterns.. I Love doing the layered pattern's. I haven't been able to get out to the Flea Markets yet. Soon I hope. The Dice Roll Tower I added a few more Dice on, still have to put in some felt or some type of material. Almost have his Battleship done.

I'd make sure your blade isn't slipping from worn thumb screw / set screw or the clamping point for a better explanation.. The set screw and thumb screw tips can get worn.. and eventually either need to be replaced or ground down flat again.. Also a good idea to clean / sand the ends of the blades, the blades have a light oil applied to them to prevent rusting and that oil over time can also build up on the clamping points ( thumb screw / set screw ) and cause slipping blades.. These are common issues..

During my conversation with Ray he asked if I was losing tension. My response was no. In my case, I was not able to get the strong note sound as stringing a guitar. Losing tension may indicate a warn tension arm as a result of over use, according to Ray. If that was the case, I would have to replace the tension arm and that could run about $125 bucks. To answer your question, I was getting lots of side to side movement in the blade. Cutting clean circles was difficult, the blade would wonder. I hope that's your case and you are not in need of a replacement part.

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

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

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

Received 10 BDF of yellow heart today not cheap but I was happy to find some. It's a full 1" thick and very nice quality. It's a bit redder than what I've had in the past. With shipping it came to $22 BDF. That stuff sure is heavy. Weighs lbs. It will probably last me the rest of my life. DiamondTropicalHardwoods.com

Finished today

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.

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.

Beautiful clock. I like the plaque too. Very nicely done Ben.

WOW .. that is GREAT WORK !!!!!

Since I've gotten alot of support from the village, I want to say thanks and play it forward by sharing a bit of know how. Thanks to Ray over at Seyco. The man has a heart of gold. I reached out to him and he took time to explain to me over the phone exactly what I needed to do. Also thanks to octoolguy (Ray) from the village. Without your suggestion, I don't think I would be owning this awesome saw. So I got an Ex 21 and the only issue I had was the inability to tighten the wobbly blade. I tried Steve Goode's suggestion, adjusting the motor but that wasn't enough to resolved the issue. I called Ray at Seyco but he wasn't in at the time. He called me back the same day told me what needed to be done and offered to walk me through it, once I removed the back cover. The next day, he did just that. Mind you, I didn't purchase this saw from him nor have I ever bought anything from him. This is unheard of. I'm flabbergasted!! So to anyone who needs to know how to tension your Ex 21 blade, here's how. 1) Loosen the tension off the blade 2) Loosen the blade from the top clamp. I had a pinless blade inserted. Ez peezy! 3) Lower the back cover by removing the 4 bolts. See bolts in photo. Once bolts are removed, you now have access to bolt and screw used to raise saw arm. 2nd photo is top view of the grey bolt with hex screw inside. Loosen the grey bolt a little. Insert correct size hex key in center of bolt and give half turn towards you. The arm should lift as you are turning. Test the blade tension. For me, that did it. 4) Tighten the grey bolt and close it up. Now, get to scrolling. I hope this helps someone out there.

You are partly right Kevin. He bought an older Ex with the slider tension lever. It's the one that Dewalt was a clone of.

Both are attractive, however for me, I think the tie-breaker of picking one over the other needs to consider the environment (background, lighting, etc.) they will be displayed on. (Oh fudge! I just heard myself, and I'm starting to sound like my wife when it comes to her decorating ideas.)

Great pattern @Kris Martinson and fantastic cutting, as always, @Charlie E God Bless! Spirithorse

Great job,he is going to love it.

Oh their gonna Love it! Fantastic job!! pattern and cutting.

Nice job. I'm sure they'll love it.

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.

You did a great job!! Be sure and send him pictures so he can post them on his site. I have done several of his patterns have many more in my library. May never get most of them done. I have the Cremona Clock front and sides done.... need to get back to it. http://www.finescrollsaw.com/cremona-wall-clock.htm

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

I made one of these a few months back and sold it to a guy at work. I'm making items for an upcoming market and thought that I would make another one. On this one I added a little hangover on the backer board and painted it black along with the outside edge of the front piece. Front is 1/2" BB ply, backer is 1/8" BB ply. Cut entirely with a spiral, I'm starting to get the hang of the spirals I think. I'll post a pic of the 1st one I made also, you will be able to see the difference that the black "hangover" makes. Well, after posting I realize that the second one was laying on something black when I took the pic so you can't see that there isn't a black hangover on it. I was also able to save the pattern this time and added it to my door. New one First one

6 puzzles made for the Granddaughters.

Im am feeling really pleased with myself. Someone asked me if I can make them a Staffie dog leash hanger. I told her im only a learner in scroll sawing but I will try. So this is what I created using Inkscape her 2 Staffie dogs.One of her dogs is black and the other is a silver blue grey colour. Customer is over the moon. The customer is going to put her own hooks on it to hang the dog leashes on. In the photo I have it laying on a large plate

Here is a Tiger I just finished. My daughter goes to the University of Memphis. Their mascot is a tiger and the school colors are blue and gray. That is why I painted the backer blue with a gray border. These colors appear to match the University colors pretty close. I used 1/4" maple plywood and cut most of it with a spiral blade. For the straight sections I switched blades to a straight one so I could cut a straighter line. Believe it or not, I did not break any of the whiskers when cutting. I saved them for almost last and had dreaded cutting them the whole time I was working in it. I made sure I had a fresh blade to reduce pressure in an attempt to not break the thin wood, and I got really, really lucky. The frame is maple that is stained Red Oak and sprayed with lacquer. The overall size with the frame is 17x20". The pattern is from Alex Fox and it said there are 447 holes. I'm not sure there are that many holes but I have not counted.

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.

This time I tried to make realistic bee Video of making "Bee" project Bee pattern

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.

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).

Hi This is a little project i am working on for my girlfriend

Here is Garfield abit more finished not sure what else to do to it now. Think I might change the clock hand colour

Cut this out while the tree guys were cutting down our trees around the house. The wife saw this pattern and wanted it for the guest bathroom. Except for one moment of not paying attention -which will be fixed - it came out OK. Now it's her baby to do with as she will. 9" x 13 1/2" using 1/4 Birch and #5 Pegas blade.

I admire the very realistic cuttings above but for myself I prefer to make more simplified "graphic" style images. It is a good thing we are not all the same.#

Did this during lockdown

This is my first post, sorry for the english, I don't speak very well! These is my old works, they are subjects found on the net but still made by me. I hope you like them

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

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.

Challenge accepted -- Nailed it I believe 30 x 40 overall - all in 1/4 and 3/8 Baltic birch except frame. All cut with a #3 modified geometry. Learned some new things to add to my arsenal - always a good thing!! Sorry haven't been on here much -- spend most of my time with this work and grand littles

Hey Everyone ! In this Scroll Saw Project video I cut out an awesome U.S. Coast Guard Veteran piece designed by my friend Al Baggetta ! In my opinion the Coast Guard hardly ever gets the recognition it deserves. Hope you all like the video ! Stay Safe ! Semper Paratus ! And by now Im aware that the wood for the scroll work is poplar The pattern was designed by Al Baggetta and is avaliable as a FREE download over on his website at; http://baggetta.com/pebooks/RealWoodCraftWeb/FreePage4.html Remember, If I Can Make It Or Do It So Can You ! Please continue to Like, Share, and Subscribe to my Channel to see all future uploads ! God Bless ! #ArtisanPirate

Made this happen for brother in law.

Finnaly have all four finished. 6 layers each. 478 holes. Took about 15 hours cutting, at a lot more time stressing about it!

I got back to my scroll saw art after a month break to work on other projects. I made this one for my wife, Leslie, because she taught me to love nature.
