I've completed the finish on this project today. It is a Jim Blume pattern cut using Pegas 2/0 and #1 spiral blades, 1/4 maple ply stained natural with a 1/4 pine ply backer cut 2 inches larger than the front and painted black. The entire project was sprayed with 4 coats of gloss poly with a light sanding between each coat. The frame is actually framing material I had on hand which I think turned out pretty nice with this piece. Thank, Jim, for the pattern. I hope I did it justice.

Got it done... I really think the assembly and finishing was more difficult than the scrolling part... Usually is for me...But it was worth the effort,,,, now I have to decide what to do with it! I lined the inside of the "box" part with some veneer that I stained a dark color. Finished with about 6 coats of Deft gloss lacquer. The wood is 1/4" Mahogany from Ocooch Hardwoods. I would like to do another one just because I really enjoyed building this one...

Just finished this for my sons friend who's getting married in January. Feels good to get back on the saw. Been a while. Made out of Oak and Walnut for the name. Measures about 8 x 7 high.

When I asked frankorona about patterns for his Modernist Figures, he was kind enough to send me the original photos he had made them from. Again a big thank you goes out to Francisco. I had created a pattern for the “Two Heads” sculpture I made and previously posted last Tuesday, 10/5. The second photo was of a piece that was a little strange to say the least. The apparent male and female figures kind of look like two “aliens” lying naked and embraced in some sort of “rock” structure. I think I know what the sculpture is supposed to represent, but my imagination tends to run rampart very easily, so I saw “aliens”. I was able to create a pattern for this sculpture I’m calling “Entwined Bodies”. Frank chose to cut his sculpture all out of one piece of wood, but the photo shows the “aliens” in a light color and the “rock” in a dark color. Therefore, attempting to be true to the original photo, I decided I would use contrasting wood - Maple and Walnut that I happen to have. My planks are ¾” thick, which I stack cut, so I wound up with parts of contrasting colors that made two complete sculptures. It may seem that way, but I was not trying to politically correct, it just turned out that way. These sculptures are about 16" tall and the base is 5" wide x 9" long (width in photoi). I used a Pegas #5 MGT skip blade and found my saw is not quite adjusted correctly as the cut outs would only push out in one direction and when reassembled, one set of “aliens” fit loose in the contrasting wood and the other fit so tight additional sanding was required to allow them to fit properly. Like the Two Heads sculpture after cutting all edges had to be eased and then sanded smooth. This time I was able to use a round over bit in my router table to ease all the edges followed by a lot of sandpaper and elbow greased. And once again I coated the parts with Lacquer sanding sealer before final sanding and assembly. The contrasting “aliens” and “rocks” were assembled using superglue and to attach the upper sculpture to the corresponding base. And like I always do, the sculptures were finished with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. I'm very happy that I was ble to do both the "Two Heads" and these "Entwined Bodies" sculptures and that they came out fairly well. I don't plan to become Scroll Saw Sculpter, but it is nice to know I can do some 'out-of-the box' projects once in a while. Hope you enjoy. Comments and critiques always welcome. I'll post my PDF's in Pattern Announcements shortly.

Walmart isn't messing around... this stuff is good.. If it wasn't in this box I wouldn't know it was there..

Welcome to The Village, Tim! My philosophy is if your saw works for you you have the right saw. Cheaper saws, generally speaking, tend to have more problems and don't last as long. If you try a a higher quality saw you will begin to see some advantages like top-feed versus bottom-feed, amount of vibration, throat depth, table size, and type of blade clamps. And we'd love to see pictures of you bowls and other turned items. Cheers!

After I made the last Christmas stuff I posted a week or so ago, Sue Mey actually sent me a message and asked me to cut this and take pictures for her to put in her website. After the swelling in my head decreased, this is what I made. I am very humbled for her even ask me. The pattern is much better than my cutting for sure. The arches are made from Baltic birch and I put linseed oil on them. The base is a very old piece of plywood that's older than I am, with just some polyurethane on it.

Still being back logged as work catch's you off guard , sick or well. This is the name of a vegetable stand store .in ft Lauderdale, FL

This is another done from the old barn oak a family friend gave me. The center cross is one I cut from another piece. It needed to stand out more. The lower back side I had to use a wire brush to loosen the older rotted wood. I got down to good wood. It’s about an inch thick twenty two wide and thirty inches or so long. It has two coats of semi gloss poly and I’ll probably give it one more. Thanks for looking.

Yep Denny gives service I have purchased from him. I live in Canada and Garnet Hall from Sawbird, sells scroll and Intarsia patterns as well as blades, since he is in the same province shipping is much quicker ,easy and shipping cost are attractive also I like to shop close to home first

Nearest Walmart is 140 miles away, probably a good thing, however this invisible tape is on the shelf at the local hardware but I still don't seeit

I see that at our Walmart all the time.

Might work when I want extra shop time, I can cover myself with it and wife wont see me!

hello, I send you my works but don't forgot, I'm beginner, I bought my saw around three weeks only. The first picture show my first tests. the second are more serious, I took Halloween for subject despite isn't really our traditions , but I like and justnbefore, the stork, it's our regional emblem here. The third Photograph shows my work for the Christmas tree, I still have to paint them. Sorry for my bad English I try don't to use Google Translation too much I'm waiting for your criticism and advices. Have a good day Eric Some patterns comme from here : https://www.stevedgood.com/catalog/ I can't remember for the others

Wow Paul you have made a beautiful clock!!! Lining the inside with veneer is an awesome idea, I would never have thought of that. I hope you signed and dated it somewhere because it will be around for many many decades.

I think at 10" tall they would be around 3" thick.. or more..

I have ordered from Garnet Hall as well. He just used regular Canada Post on my last order so it was just the cost of a stamp! Took about a week to get to me, but I blame Canada Post on that not Garnet!

fantastic job

great job

awesome job

Paul, Your clock is outright stunning. Its now a family heirloom. The workmanship is outstanding and something to be very proud of.

You are off to a good start don't be surprised if you become obsessed with craft of scroll art

I am very impressed with your first efforts. The detail in the horse is wonderful as are your other projects. Nicely done!

Nice piece. Great choice in wood.

Great job on these projects, Eric. There is no language problem here. You speak perfectly through your art.

Looks very nice

They look very nice.

I ordered blades Wednesday evening. I got them today, Saturday. So they shipped out Thursday. 2 days in transit. That's what I call fast service. Thanks Denny Knappen.

WOW!!! Down Right AWESOME!!

Now that is Beautiful. Awesome job!!

No Bar Code. It's FREE!

Thank you all, I did Pretty Good at the Flea Market today, seeing how the Ocktoberfest was going on all over the county. The Customer I made the Toyota for Loved it so much she and her husband bought several more of my painted cars. Just happened I had a 70 Nova, the car her and he had when first married.

Remember, I was born and raised in NE Ohio. So very different it very true!

How does the clerk find it on the belt? You might get it for free. Just don't forget it's in the bag. I see a lot of problems here.

terrific job

Reminds me of the hymn 'The Old Rugged Cross'.

Looks Fantastic!!

Isn't is great how the simplicity of this project turned out to be a beautiful work of art! Fantastic job, Fish. Great use of the wood.

kevin have you ever used Walmarts Acrylic paints?? 54 cents a bottle.

Nice job. Very cool piece of wood.

Someone I know saw the pattern laid out, and claimed it for herself before it was even cut.. but it's 3/16" thick black walnut with a backer. Measures about 10x17. Cut with Olson #2/0R blades. Sheila Landry Design.. (do I even need to mention that anymore? LOL). Backer is painted with 3 different colors. The skull is painted not the board it's on.

nother brilliant cut from the master. Thanks Kevin.

Here are some of my latest projects. I like making the frames, I guess it feels more finished when I do.
