Been making this little box for a while out of solid Walnut. I decided to add little something to them so I made a length of checkered material for the tops. I randomly cut the tops to maximize the material. Size is roughly 2 1/4 × 2 1/4 × 1 with the storage being 3/4 deep with clear lacquer finish.

I did a quick little fun cutting in honor of my new shop plant, Adrian.

I have been off the scroll saw for approx 12 months with illness & other things. This is my first project since back, Boy was i rusty, it was like learning all over again but i eventually got back into the swing of it again. Thank you Frank for supplying this pattern. This one is for Marg who wanted to see this one cut with red roses,& thanks for the concern shown to me Marg. I still have to make the frame for it Cheers Peter.

Added a quote with a font called connected to this often cut pattern. I like it. 8X10 1/2" red oak.

I contracted it in mid November. Really kicked my but for a week and didn't fully recover until late December. Best of luck.

I'm not sure how often I might use this but I can see where it might be neat to have. It would take a bit of adaptation to mount to any of my saws but it could be done. https://www.instructables.com/Scroll-Saw-Parallel-Fence/

Whole lot of ugly going on around these parts, Alabama, about face masks. ***Please don't state your opinion, for or against, on them as this isn't the place and nobody really cares what you or I think about it. I think this Banksy art is a fitting response to the issue so I cut it and am offering it on Facebook to any teacher facing the battle on the front lines.

Very nice, I remember the movie well, such memories. Chris

looks nice

I changed over earlier this year and also changed to Pegas blades. It's running smoothed and I can cut a lot faster A good investment IKE

I have them on the website and with coupon code SEPT11 you get 11% off. The website is listed below my signature.

I ended up using 3 coats poly spray from the gold / brown can. Hand painted the lettering with acrylic paints and then sprayed a couple more coats of the poly clear. The white paint was painted first and not ever using these paints I think maybe it was old paint as it was very thick and kind of dried really fast. The black paint was more runny and brushed much better so thinking the white was old.. all in all it turned out all right.. to do it again I'd probably do things slightly different but everything was a fun learning experience and I got a acceptable product.

Just saw this post Les. So sorry to hear it. Praying for you and your wife. Hope you get a more good natured nurse soon.

very nice

Nice!!!

Mmm, says 'Unavailable'

Get better soon……I’ve been lucky dodging it so far……my daughter had it in the house July 2020 though

Nice work Barb. I love the compass the best. I never get the sanding thing in intarsia. Did I mention i hate the sanding?

Isn't it fun and interesting to watch some topics morph & change? I love it. That's why you must read every entry from start to finish. What fun!

I could see this being very beneficial for production runs of certain pieces for someone that doesn't have a table saw or bandsaw.. Several years ago I could have used that to make clock bases when I didn't have much for any other saws. I wouldn't say it's totally useless but it probably is for the majority of us that have a full shop of tools that would be better suited to do straight cuts. My clock bases are typically about 2 inch wide and whatever length I need typically 7" and 11" I used to make them oval shaped rather than just a simple rectangle but shipping the oval shaped ones required me to use larger boxes and also sometimes put the weight up to where it was in the next pricing bracket which was substantially more money and required me to scroll them since I didn't have any way to cut oval shapes back then.. I now use my CNC to carve out my website address on the bottom and then cuts out the base. Before the CNC I started cutting them on the table saw to save a lot of time. Table saw is faster than the CNC but I like the website address being engraved on the bottom of the base. Anyway before the table saw and CNC etc.. This could have been beneficial back in the beginning days.. That said it probably wouldn't work on any of the saws I had since every saw I've owned had a rounded table.. the EX has the most squared front of the table saw I've had, and I think it's still rounded to some degree..

To respond to all your comments, it was just something that I ran across and thought I'd pass it along. I doubt that I would ever add it to my saws either. Sorry if it was out of line.

Sorry to hear that Les. Prayers for you both to make a quick and full recovery with no lingering issues.

Nice but who?
