Made from shop scraps. Design by T & E designs. a little of all kinds of wood, Some 1/4 plywood, a few unknown species, and some pine in the wheels. Used scrollsaw for most of the cuts, Drill press and hole saws for the wheels.

Hello Everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in quite a while. Two young kids and a lot of work responsibilities have really cut into my shop time. Anyways, I was able to crank out these two graduation gifts. I used a couple of pictures from a friend to make both patterns. A couple of good kids who are headed off to college to continue their basketball careers. The frames are dyed pine. I was hoping to do the blue and gold (school colors) for both, but ran out of dye. .

I recently bought some thumb screws and new set / anvil screws for my blade clamps for my old Hawk from McMaster. When browsing the website I seen they have flat end set screws and also seen they have them that have a swivel end similar to the swivel on the Excalibur/DeWalt. If they had them in the thumb screw I’d have tried them but figured probably useless in the set screw side. Anyway the flat bottom set screw the flat portion has a smaller surface than just a plain set screw. Probably would work well with larger blades but I had trouble with my #3 blades so just a heads up don’t try them if you run upon them as they probably won’t work. Now the thumb screws, every time I order these or get them from a hardware store the center in kind of concaved and they don’t work either unless I screw them into a board and dress the ends flat. If you’re not careful about dressing the ends you can get them on a angle and pretty much deem the new one useless . Which kind of puts you back to where you was and why you got new screws in the first place. I’m wondering if anyone had purchased them outside of the saw manufacturer and how / where do you find them machined with a flat surface to start with. I normally have decent success with drilling a appropriate sized hole in a scrap wood piece and screwing in (straight) the screws and sanding them. But even this sometimes for some reason not always presents me with a true square flat surface. I’m wondering about maybe the board warping or using the same one over time may make the board itself becoming unflattend. I have thought about threading a piece of flat stock steel to use which may be more stable? Anyway just a heads up on those flat set screws. Oh they do have smaller and larger flat end ones and yes I did order the larger ones. Possible they sent the wrong ones? I don’t know. I’m just not going to try them again. They would take a lot of sanding / grinding to get them down to the larger portion of the screw so dressing them wouldn’t work too well.

Well I am back in my shop, making some sawdust, I made AlexFox pattern. Love it!! and Steve Good pattern.This is my first time doing layered patterns. I will be doing more in the near future.

This Night Lamp is made from solid Red Oak, is 12” high overall, the base and top are 5 1/2” square made from 1/2” thick material, and the lamp body is 4 1/2” square by 10” high made from 1/4" thick material. The body side walls were stack cut and cut using Pegas #0 spiral blades. The top is loose for bulb replacement purposes. The Red Oak was enhanced and finished with multiple coats of a combination of Minwax Red Oak Stain and Minwax Satin Wipe-On Poly. The Clear blue Plexiglas was frosted by using spray adhesive to affix sheets of clear velum film to the inside surface of the Plexiglas. The Electrical components include a premade 6’ lamp cord with an inline rocker switch, a threaded nipple w/nuts, a nipple mounted candelabra bulb socket base and a round 25 watt bulb. I created the Lamp body Seahorse Pattern to supplement my collection of nautical themed projects I’m putting together. The construction of this lamp is almost identical to the Hummingbird Lamp I made for my Lady a while back, but this time it went together better because I knew what I was doing. Also, this time all the chamfers and the body corner joint bevel cuts were completed on the Router table. This pic shows the bottom of the top with a gluded on piece of 1/4 Oak Ply that acts as a retainer to keep the top in place. A similar piece of 1/4" Oak ply was glused to the base to provise a greater gluing surface for the lamp body attachnemt to the base. This view also shows the installed velum coated Plexiglas difuser.

Mike Williams designed the pattern for this beaver. He calls it 'Working Man' but I call it 'Nature's Lumberjack'. I completed cutting it last week. It took me about 11 hours and the work has about 610 holes. The material is 6mm thick panel with a thin quarter sawn White Oak veneer on top. I’m planning to take 'Nature's Lumberjack' it to Pellow's Island and to frame it with poplar “logs” much like the mock-up that utilizes Spruce below: I may or may not decide to frame it with a green backer-board. By the way, I’m going to use Poplar because, over the last 15 years, beavers have “chopped” down all the large poplar trees on Pellow’s Island.

My Mother's day gifts for the wife are delayed in shipping. Fortunately I had these pretty much ready to go. The patterns are from scrolleronline. Padauk, maple and walnut.

Here is a Bald Eagle cut in plywood that measures 44 inches tall. Cut with a Jig Saw and stained with Ebony stain.

…About a Man Named Jed. A Charles Dearing Pattern of Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, pretty small at only approximately 5 1/2” x8” Cutting the fretboards that small was pretty challenging. I used Pegas spiral blades for about 90% of the cuts on the project, though I did use Pegas MG flat blades for the longer straight cuts. I got a little sloppy in a couple of places with the spirals.

I have a late 1990's Delta 14" with the enclosed base. The 28-280 model. I buy all my lumber as 5/4 and resaw it.

Timberwolf makes nice blades too. I have a 1/2" blade on mine and I resaw with it. One very important thing is to get the setup right. If you don't, you will be cutting angles. spend the time getting the table perpendicular to the blade. You also need to make sure your guides are set correct. I highly suggest you look for the Carter setup video's on Youtube.. This is a great one. Alex is a master at bandsaws

I haven't done a lot of resawing, and I don't know what you have in mind, but I've done what I needed with my regular 1/2" 3 tpi skip tooth blade. I have several wider blades, but don't want to bother with the set up involved with blade changes. If you're going to do a lot of resawing, or only resawing then maybe a dedicated resaw blade would be better. Jim BTW, the 1/2" 3 tpi blade is the blade I use on my saw most of the time.

Regarding the fence, I'd make my own. Did that for my son in law's Rikon about 15 years ago, and it's worked well. I made it kind of like a little Beisemeyer. I welded mine, but you could build a bolt together unit without too much trouble. Jim

You want the widest blade you can get for your saw. WoodMizer is supposed to be a good brand.

Where did you find the pattern for it?

terrific job

Now that is a gorgeous lamp! Love the theme!

I don't have a terrible hearing problem yet although I do have a slight loss thanks to my younger days However, the only time I use headphones is when I use my planer. I use my gun range headphones and they shut out just about everything

You did A fabulous job on the patterns and the cuttings, well done. Marg

I went back on Amazon and could not find it either. Found several for $6 and a bit more. Went to the reorder part on Amazon and can reorder but the price is $5.50. I don't quite get it. As with 3M stuff prices keep changing. Weird.

Done on the usual 1/4 inch BB A4 plywood sheet with black mount board,still needs sanding as lots of fuzzies on this one,then will stain and varnish,done using #2 spiral blade lots of delicate pieces on this one ,thanks for looking

I can hear noise very well. I just don't have the ability to decipher the sound. Hard to understand unless you really are deaf. If you stand directly in front of me and speak clearly I can understand you with the assistance of reading your lips. Women's voices are much harder for me to understand because their voice is a higher frequency. At the same time I am easily startled by a sudden noise. My wife doesn't even understand. With Bluetooth aids sound is piped directly into the ear. Therefore if the frequency and everything is right I can understand. Pod casts, for instance, I understand as they are pumped directly into my ear. When I scroll I have my aids on mute. That means sound is no longer pumped directly into my ear. However the loud sound still is damaging to the little hearing I have. With Bluetooth phones I can listen to a pod cast while the extra noise in the shop is blocked. Hard to explain. Easier to experience it. Not an ideal situation.

Great cutting!

action shots caught on tape, oh wood. It is great project.

i wear muffs most of the time.I also have a radio headset which is nice but can gets static

1938 Lancia Astura Cabriolet Lancia is one of Italy’s oldest car companies being founded in 1907. The Lancia Company still exist in Turin and now is under the umbrella of Stellantis Auto Group which also includes Chrysler/Fiat, Citroen, Alpha Romeo, Maserati and Peugeot. The 1938 Lancia Astura was the epitome of the late Art Deco auto design period with its large flared front fenders and extensive use of chrome on the windshield and grill. The Tipo V-8 3-liter engine provided plenty of performance for either touring the Apian Way or along the shores of Lake Como in style and comfort. This model was only produced for 2 years with WWII disrupting car production for military purposes. I designed the pattern with MS 3D paint and used 1/8 BBPW with ¼” luan backer. Finish is shellac with Gloss lacquer.

WOW, Super Fantastic!! They are gonna Love them.

Be interested to see how they work. The last one I had would not hold charge very long.

Hi all Not sure if I have posted this before. Made it awhile ago for my girlfriend to give to her daughter when she went to uni.

I stopped in to Lowe’s in Thousand Oaks CA. Found two box’s of 12 3M 77 on the shelf. It’s obvious they were just stocked. $9.99 a can.I only bought one as that will last me about a year.

I went on the internet and found some super77 spray 16 oz. size no price when I got there they had about 12 cans @ 10+change I got 4 cans shich will probably last the year The only ting about it is that it is a little harder to get the glue off the goard. I spray the board so the paper will come off with little effort . I had the glue on the puzzle over night and got no lift .i can live with it, IKE

Great job! They'll enjoy that for years to come.

Just got these from Amazon today. They were $5.94. They had a lot of bad reviews claiming they were not diamond, flimsy, etc. Actually I am amazed how nice they are. They are diamond and are perfect for tiny areas. They are an assorted group of 10. I'd call them a bargain.

For this project I used laminated HDF (high density fiberboard) 1/8 inch. Glue - it calls "88" of Ukrainian production, Instruction: apply glue on both surfaces, wait about 10-15 minutes until the glue dries, squeeze the glued surfaces. I am not sure that you will find exactly this glue in your country. One of my customers wrote that that in the USA similar glue calls "Contact Cement". Also I know that many of my customers use "Gorilla" wood glue.

Wasn't a Craft Show in November, so had lots in inventory. Now with being cooped up a lot I have kept my Scrolling going. Now I have a whole lot of Inventory. Here are some Little things. Enjoy I hope.... :+}

Just finished this H Botas pattern using a #2/0 spiral blade on an A4 1|4 inch BB plywood sheet

Fresh off the saw!! Made using a #1 spiral blade on a A4 1/4 inch BB sheet with black mount board just need to sand and give a few coats of stain, lots of holes 458 to be accurate ,thanks for looking .

A pattern by Sue Mey. Finished two different ways. One is framed with a Birdseye Frame and the other backed with 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood stained black. Stack cut 1/8" BB plywood on a Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1R MGT blades. In fact, I used only one blade on the project.

Did this little contracted piece. Hired a designer he does them better cheaper and gives me more time on saw.

Stack cut 1/8" BB plywood on a Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1R MGT and #1 Spiral blades. The MGT blades on the lettering and the Spiral on everything else. Comments welcome.

If you're old enough and grew up in the U.S. you probably recognize The Partridge Family. I would never have missed an episode. I believe they aired on Friday nights after The Brady Bunch in the early 70s. If you're not familiar with them it was a sitcom about a family musical group. They actually did record and have some hit records although the only cast members who were part of the actual recordings were Shirley Jones, top left, and David Cassidy, top middle. *Added an edited image of the cutting if anyone would like to use it as a pattern.

H Botas pattern made using an A4, 1/4inch baltic birch plywood sheet and a #2/0 spiral blade, lots of holes to this one took about 11hours of cutting,

Hello friends, some years ago I abandoned these mirror projects (10 years or so). First jobs I did with my scroll saw. Now with a free time I finished them. I hope you like the result. Thank you in advance for your comments. Greetings and a big hug to all.

This was fun to cut. I must be the slowest scroller in the world. I spent 15 hours and 36 minutes on the saw. Probably another 5 hours changing blade from hole to hole and drilling 786 holes. The image is 10-1/2 X 8. Used 27 2/0 Super Pike blades and cut 3mm Pre-finished BB.

I love them both!! can I ask where you got the pattern? Spike loves trains and id love to make something like that for his birthay in may.

The train came out great! "Love" aslo looks nice

"Welcome" sign finished. The pattern is by Keith Fenton and found in CWWC March 2014. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 and #5 Skip blades. The wood is 1/2" Poplar 8" x 14" and backed with Baltic Birch plywood stained blue. Comments welcome.
