The Coffee sign, is 1/4" Ash with a ply backer painted a brown color. It's about 8x10 inches. Cut with Olson #2/0R blades. The Chocolate sign is about 10x12 inches and is 1/4" thick Hickory with a ply backer painted brown also. It is also cut with Olson #2/0R blades. Both are Sheila Landry Design patterns.

Same cut but 3 different versions. 8 × 10 out of 1/8 ply and different colored laminate for the background. My daughter is a super fan of the movie and it is getting close to that time of year. Not sure if it is a Halloween or Christmas movie.

If you're not familiar with him, it's Vincent Van Gogh. His shirt has the print of Starry Night, one of his most famous paintings.

Thank you Grandpa and TDpainter for working on the pattern of my dad. I used both to modify it a little. The patterns you did for me are awesome. This is the finished cut and I made the frame out of cherry. My brothers and sisters really liked it and I made one for my sister Theresa. He and mom were incredible people. Thanks again.

Guess I can't complain about the store pushing the holidays when I'm doing it myself. A Steve Good pattern. The web is ambrosia maple, the bats are wenge, the spider is paduak and the writing is purpleheart. Thanks for looking!

My first major craft event in a year and a half due to Covid. My weekly local market has been great, never stopped, but all major events had been cancelled. Two day event, Lazy Daze in Cary NC. Brutal heat both days but sales were very good even with a reduced crowd due to the heat and due to Covid concerns. Came in just 10% short of my best results at that event. Average of 9 puzzles per hour or 1 every 7 minutes... Running it solo is definitely exhausting. LOL Photo of day 1, I got there at 6:15am to finish setting up and then my final booth view.

This is the first project I have completed in my new enlarged shop. Also the first project that I only used spiral blades. Took me 3 to be exact.

This my second cutting of this pattern... It is my favorite "Eagle" pattern. I cut it before in a piece of Black Walnut. This time it is cut in a piece of Monkey Pot I purchased from Ocooch Hardwood. It is 16" x 12.5" x .5". It is pretty wood,,, a little softer than walnut... I gave my first cutting to my best friend sometime ago and have wanted to do it again ever since. I plan on framing this one when I can find some lumber I can afford... This is a pattern is out of the SSWC magazine, in all their wisdom didn't even put it in the foldout patterns section, they put it over two pages in the mag so it is even more difficult to make a decent copy of... But well worth the effort. It is made from a painting by Carol Cavlaris, called "Spirit of the Wind. Like I say,, my favorite eagle pattern..I would love to have on the same format wit the American Bald Eagle... If I ever find the right piece of some burl wood,,, I will cut it again.

Didn't really know where to post this. I was in a 10'x10' shop. I decided to build a 10'x18' off of the back of my camper carport. Once I started that I decided to just attach the 2 together and make the roof line the same. I ended ip with a 10'x32' shop. Once I organized things I wondered how I had all of that in my old space. This has been my last 2 week project.

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

Oak 22mm

I'm looking for a 3D scrollsaw pattern for a small stool. I had one several years ago it was about 1 1/2 square. I made one put it in a empty pill bottle labeled it stool sample and gave it to my GP. I would like to make another one for my new GP. Thanks in advance

I did a couple a few years ago and still have one here. It is just a round circle about 1 inch. Added 4 legs of 1/8 dowel. Whole stool is about 1 1/2 high.

Nice. Looks like it was before he removed his ear.

Folks ask me if I could make patterns fit pieces of wood they have available. Of course scaling or changing the size of the pattern is one option many folks use. But here are some other options to consider. Taking a portion of a pattern and cropping it so as to fit a narrow board, or even making it into a circle or oval using your own thought processes and individual creativity can multiply all the patterns you have collected into many more options. Or how about liking the Indian woman in this pattern and wanting it to stand alone? Just crop out everything you don't want. Use your imagination and enjoy the journey.

That's nice, how ever the one I'm looking for is cut out of a solid piece of stock if I'm remember correctly 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" or 2"x2"

I have received three envelopes like pictured, containing patterns, from Spain.... No damage to any of them or the patterns.. Why can't Cherry Tree do it within the USA?

Thanks for the order, Buzz. It is in the mail.

Got a line on a Dewalt 788 type 1 for $300. I know theres a type 2, just can't remember which one is better? Anyhow good deal or bad? It's in dang good shape. Chris

You know, it seems to me that the DeWalt scroll saw has a better resale value than other saws, percentage wise to the original selling price... Well in this case they are probably asking the selling price that the saw actually sold for... But considering todays prices it they are still asking around around 2/3rds of new price. Most used saws sell for 1/2 or less of original price.. Just something I think I have noticed...

Thank you. I have issue 60 on DVD and so I could get into Inkscape easily. I want to make bigger and I think I will play with the bugs too. Thanks again.

ive been seeing this around here at all 3 big box stores for a few years. down to 8" wide can be glueups. menards here does have some S3S lumber from a mill. red oak, yellow birch, poplar, maple, alder. red oak is always in stock but the others seem to switch month to month. i havent seen anything wider than 8" but the price isnt too aweful bad. the red oak is about $2.85 bd/ft which isnt bad for S3S at a big box.

very nice job

very nice job

They are the #SS5-46SPL from lowes. they are 0.026. They are a great blade and cheap at $5.00. I do see why people like the spiral blades, I am still not a huge fan them though. I myself prefer the exact cutting and sharp cuts of a regular blade.

I really like this. Very cool. Do you have the link to Steve's pattern. I searched every which way and can't find. Thanks

Love them both. Both apply to me. great lettering skills shown. Marg

It looks great. I'm not into Halloween but I do like this. Marg

What a brilliant idea. Awesome work. Did you do the background painting? Marg

Another good one Charlie. Your wall must be filling up nicely. Marg

Type I was Canadian built, Type II when they moved manufacture to Taiwan.. I bought a Type I about 10 years ago for $225, very little use on it. They are excellent saws, and age well as parts are widely available. They share a lot of the design with the Excalibur. As noted, the saw is likely 25 or so years old. Price is on the high end, but.... does it come with blades, patterns, stand, light or other add=ons. It has about the best blade tension out there, with an inclined plane to let you put as much or as little tension as you want.

Thanks, that gives me a better idea on what it might be worth.

Very clean cutting. Great job!

The thing to consider is a type II is about 20-25 years old. Good shape or not, the bearings will need to be replaced, sooner or later. $300 is a bit much. Before you buy, you need to try it out at all speeds. If it doesn’t rattle or vibrate excessively, offer $200. I have owned both a type I and type II saws. They are all the same with the same problems.

Ok, I asked Siri. She said it was his left ear. Either way, it’s a great project Charlie!

Just a tip that I do with veining to get more detail. Not sure what you're cutting and may not work for your current project. If you cut the veining with your straight blade then pop in a small spiral blade. The spiral blade will pretty much follow the original flat blade cut line.. and you open up the veining width. I do this with most of the car clocks I make for the body lines.. I normally cut with a #3 Pegas MG. Then swap over to a 2/0 FD-NS and open up the veining. Practice on some scrap to get a feel for it.. but seriously the spiral likes to follow the path of least resistance.. which is sort of why many struggle to use them on solid lumber as the different grain lines etc. are different densities.. Learning to control spirals works best on BBply as it is more consistent than a solid lumber.

Great job. Those letter are good and sharp. You do very well with lettering!!

Thanks. I take about 500 with me to a major event like that. My inventory setup...

She has a wine is the answer one.... https://sheilalandrydesigns.com/scroll-saw-patterns/wine-is-the-answer/

Well done!

It was his left ear. If the above illustration was a self portrait, that would be correct.

Really very nice clean cut pieces.... Great job! Oh did she have a pattern the said "Wine Because Parenting Is Hard"!!!

So this is a Unity Puzzle (haven’t cut the pieces yet) I’m making. This is both a CNC and scroll saw project as I used the CNC to mill (pocket carve ) out the center of the walnut board and also to cut out all the circle rings down to about a 1/8 inch left then sawed the rest on the scroll saw since I still don’t have a spoil board set up on my CNC. Anyway, I’m not much of a wood finishing person short of just dipping in Danish oil or once in a great while shooting some poly. This piece I’m going to have to learn a bit, lol. I will be painting the carved text out ( white paint on the walnut and black on the cherry and maple. ). In order to prevent the paint from soaking into the wood grain I need to seal it up good “very good” yet I want to make the grain pop like Danish oil would make it do. Intend to seal it spray paint the text and then sand off the paint on the main surface so the text gets the paint. Then I’ll top coat all of it with another couple coats of clear. Now my question is. What do I seal this with? I have the water based poly in a quart can and can brush or spray it. Also have a quart can of shellac. Not sure how well either would do with top coating them with paint. Actually have done it with the poly , but the poly doesn’t really make the grain pop like I would like it to. So wondered what you all my suggest?

Nice touch!

Wow! That is great. I'm blessed to have had great parents as well. Nice job!

I was introduced to fishing by my grandparents, and I still love it. I got to teach my own grandson to fish, and it is an absolute joy to spend time with him out fishing at a nearby lake.

I would try an iron on low setting with NO STEAM, NO WATER and press it. That is how we ironed our sewing patterns in Home Ec.

Remembering my first day in Basic Training with the promise to get my first clothing issue the following day. And then the Sergeant saying, let's see how many of you will walk the walk, so you can have the right to talk the talk. I made this pattern for all of those who have earned that right.

Hi All. I got an email from a member that was having trouble with Unioning text with the latest version of Inkscape. It turns out to be a bug in Inkscape that will be addressed in the next version. But until then, here is a tutorial on a workaround. I hope this helps! Step by Step: Change your text. Select your text. Path/Object To Path (or Ctrl+Shift+C) Object/Ungroup (or Ctrl+Shift+G) Select entire ornament Path/Union (or Ctrl+plus key)
