I used Mahogany, Walnut, and Aspen. Used my scroll saw to make the top pieces. I had to make the pieces pretty accurate for it to come out good. I was afraid to make them on my table saw because they were so small.

Well before we know it Halloween will be here, So I thought I would get a Little head start. I,m headin out to the Flea Markey this morn, I have a few Halloween Goodies ready. The Casket's and Scene are by Steve Goode. Ghost is mine I made from a drawing, don't know the artist, wish I did. Remember 9.11

I finally got of my behind and did some work in the shed, worth posting. The letters I have left over from when I used to make and sell these.I probably have more then 100. My Daughter picked out the name, for a friends baby and I had to make VW to pull it. Managed to find my old jigs and patterns and rather enjoyed it. I made three VW's so a couple spare. I had a steam engine and a truck also to pull the names.

I started this project almost 2 months ago but had to set it aside after a few issues required me to remodel my bathroom and then I had to complete 2 commission projects. This is a Steve Good pattern and is cut with 1/4 Birch using Pegas 2/0 MFG. The back is 1/4 ply. The front is finished with natural stain while the back is finished with dark walnut. It then received several coats of clear gloss. The fine cuts were a little tricky and I had to keep reminding myself to let the blades do the work and not push it.

Decided to make this Compass Version with Color. Actually I like Color and a Good Friend decided on the color scheme. Was Good, so here is my Finished Compass. Hope all will like..............Danny :+} EDIT.... When this pic was taken I DID NOT HAVE IT GLUED. This one I made the N-E-S-W IN RED.... I like this better. ??

I converted this pattern I found on-line and modified it to make it an 11” square scroll saw pattern. Had to add some bridges and modified the pumpkin shape a little to make the letters to read better. Both the cut panel and backer is ¼” thk BB Ply cut with Pegas #0 MGT R blades. The panels were hand painted with Acrylic Artist Paints and protected with multiple coats of clear gloss spray Polyurethane, as this piece will hang outside on the front of my home. And again, the Frame is Poplar…oh yeah, that’s right, there is no frame Critique and comments always appreciated. EDIT PS: Just sitting here looking at the pic and realized this would be a great pattern to use with a back lit orange plastic backer.

This is my favorite band Dream Theater. Due to chemo side effects, I have no feeling in my hands and feet so this is about as fancy is I get for a while. At least I get to enjoy all the amazing art posted here. Happy scrolling all and God bless

I posted these two projects previously but they were a smaller version. I was commissioned to do these in a larger size. Both are Steve Good patterns and were cut from 1 X 12 pine with 1/4 backing. They were both stained with natural Minwax and 3 coats of clear gloss.

Now I know I have not been here for some time and heard this news through another scroller. I knew he was a regular contributor here and I have known Les for a long time through other sites. I was so sorry to hear that he passed. I knew he was battling the dreaded covid and it took him away from us all. I am sure many of us know of cases that affected loved ones and close friends. I lost a sister this past Dec to covid and it is not something that chooses an age group or any other specifics. We lost a friend and all around great person. Without getting into politics or any beliefs I just would like to say please consider the Vaccine not only for yourself but for those around you and for those you may even touch just by a simple press of a key on a keyboard. With a heavy heart, Rest In Peace . My condolences go out to the family.

My new project - Mechanical butterfly, and two more similar projects. What do you thing aboul such style? Mechanical butterfly pattern Video of making project

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.

Lovely cut. Roly

I know I've been slacking this week.. LOL So here is the latest one. It's 1/4" cherry, and is about 9x10 ish.. Cut with Olson #2/0R blades. It has a ply backer. I was trying to see what color backer I wanted, and I hit a scrap piece with 4 colors.. Showing it to the GF we decided it would be kinda cool to use all 4, so I did the same pattern on the backer as the test.. I think it looks kinda cool. Oh, and it's a Sheila Landry Design pattern.. DUH!! LOL

Beautiful clean cut. Roly

Beautiful work. Roly

I saw a box similar on Pinterest that inspired me to make this pattern. The sides I used 1/2" wood and dadoed them to set the top an bottom into. I have lots of boxes on my FB page. 3D Inlay Box.pdf

Stunning fit and finish. The effect really pushes it over the top.

Okay, now THAT is really striking!

Beautiful box Dave, another work of excellence, I seen a pattern like that on woodsmith site, RJ

Very beautiful!! Great craftsmanship.

Absolutely beautiful! Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing

Dave your box looks great and I like the way you framed out the lid. I made one a few years back for my granddaughter using the tumbling block pattern and I have to agree about how accurate the pieces need to be. Keeping track of the grain direction can be a challenge also. If one piece is off it just pushes the rest out of place. As I recall I cut my pieces on a table saw and built a jig to true them up on my disc sander. It is time consuming but like your box the results are great.

Oh wow Dave. Your boxes belong in a jewelry store or something. At the same time this one reminds me of the old video game Q-bert. Like Frank, I wondered if this is from an available pattern. Wouldn't be surprised if you designed it though.

Innovative!

great job, I love the 3D effect

Very nicely done.. Where did you get the pattern?

Not that hard if you have a scroll saw, planer and table saw.

Great work. Now that is a box I would love to make!

Looks Awesome!! I can't say I know how you feel, but my wife went thru chemo, so I know how mush she suffered. All our Best Wishes are with you.

Now that is Fantastic!! Beautiful work.

wow!! That is just Down Right Awesome!!! Beautiful work!

Very colorful Frank. We call it Autumn and it's my favorite season also. Marg

They look perfect to me. Hopefully you will get the feeling back soon. Marg

Beautiful piece. I don't think I could get that accurate of cuts even with the table saw. You nailed it!!!

That title made me sad when I first read it. I thought we lost you.

Glue and Dowels Peter. 6mm dowels

Great job. The top really looks 3D - wonder how many might reach out to touch it to find out.

Lovely job John . How did you hold the letters in place ,Glue or screws .

Ray, I believe the single speed Hegners run at 1700spm. I think the best people to ask about converting it to VS would be the fine folks at Henger. I'm sure someone here probably knows as well but I'm not that person, LOL Sounds like a heck of a deal though for $40.

Beautiful. Love the wood choice and color.

A lovely pattern by Jim Blume. I couldn't resist cutting it. Straight off the saw so no finish or frame yet. Done on an A4 sheet of 3mm b/b and #2 Niqua blades.

Very nice. My first spiral piece was one of Jim's. I love his patterns

Very nicely done. I have not purchased very many of Sheila's patterns but you are making me think I just might need to check her page out again, soon Dick heppnerguy

Great job with this wonderful pattern. There have been some really good pattern makers developed in the past couple of years and Jim Blume certainly is on that list. Your piece is very inspiring Dick heppnerguy

Still on a Dr. Who kick I guess. Matt Smith as the 10th Doctor and Jenna Coleman as his companion Clara.

Gorgeous !

That's a beauty! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

That is Beautiful~
