Been busy on the scroll saw the last few days Made some Christmas ornaments inspired from a Steve Goode design, I changed the patterns a bit to get what I was looking for. I used walnut, ash, alder, and several different colors of polar to get the look I was going for. They were stack cut four at a time, each layer is about 1/4 inch and there are 7 layers in the round one and 6 layer in the other. Finished with WB semi-gloss poly. The size of the circular ornament is ~4 inches the other is a tad over 4” x 3-1/2. All the rings were stack cut 4 at a time on my scroll saw on my EX-21 using a Pegas super skip #6 blade. I really like the super skip blades for thicker material. I I cut two Sue Mey patterns. Both are natural poplar coloring and about 11/16 thick, finished with satin WB poly. They are about 11×7 inches in size.

Hello Everyone, In eight weeks ,we'll be at Christmas, I tried my first assemblage about the subject. As usual,I await your advice. The pattern come from Steve GOOD, thanks to him. Eric

Another one from Charles Hand's "Circular Scroll Saw Designs" book (I think that's the name of it). 3/4" whiteboard, used a number of Pegas #3 MG blades and Minwax "Early American" stain. Took a while to cut, due to some office travel and other home projects. Not a difficult cut, just....a lot of cutting.

Just checking out my stock levels. Have not been involved in a sale in a couple of years. Last one was 4 hours in a church where I didn't sell very much. Doing a 2 day indoor event next weekend. I think I have enough!! Lol I will take pictures if the final setup, promise!!!

Getting ready for Christmas! Cut from 1/2" sassafras, 2 coats of Waterlox, and patterns by Sheila Landry.

T-Rex vs Triceratops. Which one do you like more? Here is my new 3D project - triceratops. It was qute difficult to create such pattern, but cutting and assembling was fun. Dino skull patterns Video of making Dino skull

I had a lot of small and average size pieces of wood laying around so I applied it to make this Steve good pattern. The paint is just old spray paint. Used a #3 spiral FD!

MADE FROM 1/4" OAK AND 1/8"PLY ON TOP.

Here are some of my recents. Since I live here I went to the Birthplace of Elvis and took the photos. I had not made any bowls in a while so I made some.

It's me..... again I'm not stopping! I saw this bird on the web today but I don't remember where Have a good day Eric

I can do this with flat blades but can't do much of anything with a spiral, I wish I could.

That is lovely. I would make two, one colored and one clear coated. I am a Libra, can never make up my mind. Marg

It would have been easy to do this but by going taller and narrower I had to increase the angle and add more layers. The one good thing that has come out of it is I was forced to learn some more Inkscape to create the pattern for the octagonal layers. They will all be cut from one piece of 1/2" x 12" x 12" oak. Each one is 3/16" in width. Gonna be a nail biter.

This is what I'm working on at this point. It's from a pattern that I found online but the customer wanted it to be taller and narrower than the pattern. I am adding a pic of what the pattern would have looked like. So, lot's of calculations on this one. There will be 12 octagonal rings around the inside of it. More to come.

Hi all. We had a big software update. I've been kicking this can down the road for the last few months because it's been so crazy at work. I was about 3 software updates behind. Anyway, just like normal, let me know if you see anything strange or isn't behaving the way it should.

Well I have been busy down at my little shop. Sturing up some dust and brushing on some paint. I have been doing some Truck Front's I call'em. and some well known toons. I have several more fronts to do, then I will start on Car Front's. I may do another engine, I kinda liked doing one that still looked like an engine. not the ones you see under your hoods now days.

I've been working in the shop for a while and decided to take a break to photograph a few puzzles I've cut out. These patterns were bought from Iggy. All cut out on 3/4" Poplar using a UR#5 for cutting the outside of the puzzles and then a UR#3 for cutting the inside pieces. Thanks for looking. Jim

Nice job!

I'm not sure those are scrap pieces. Those look very pretty. and they fit together too. That can be used as a ice bucket. Like the hotels have. Very cool. Mark

All great stuff. I wish you all the luck in the world, but can't imagine you'd need it. Beautiful pieces !

A great use of 'scraps' , nicely done. ! I envy you your comfort with spirals. I can't get on with them at all, even though I use them sometimes.

Barb, Best of luck

Very nice, nice choice on the stain.

Looks like you have very sellable items there. Good luck and have fun.

Kinda makes me feel dizzy (dizzier?). Great job

Looks like you're all ready to go. We're doing our second of the year next weekend too. The first was kinda slow. Good luck to both of us!

I’m sure you will do well Barb! I too have a two day show next weekend.

awesome job

Magnifique !!! I'm far from this level Bravo.

Very nice Roly, well done. Marg

Another payten from Wooden Teddy Bear Measures 12x18

Ready for the craft show, finished the critters and cut some sample of Sheila Landry sleigh also 2021 Christmas decoration. my first attempt at epoxy cutting board, not too bad for a newbie. LOL

Lovely. Well done. Marg

This is a pattern by Frank that I cut from aspen and mounted on red transparent acrylic, frame is stained alder. I then added a light string to the back.

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Looks good Ray, keep us posted on your progress, RJ

That'll be nice.. I look forward to seeing the finished piece.

Ok Kevin, I tried some #5's but they didn't work worth a darn on that 3/4" oak. Back to the 7's. So far so good. But, they do seem to dull quick. Not sure how they'd be in softer wood.

Hi Rodney, it's the problem for me, paint or stain ? that is the question. I like the raw wood but in this case, it seems the stain is appropriate, maybe clear oak or colorless stain but no paint. (I hope you understood my English language) Eric

A made two of these layered thingys using a Steve Good pattern: All the pieces were cut for 3mm thick Baltic Birch plywood. One of them is now in my daughter Kathleen's elementary school classroom and the other is in my daughter kristel's office at Canadian Girl Guide headquarters.

very nice

Jim, I have an old Bank Card next to the saw and use that. They are perfectly square. Another method i used to use was a small clear plastic protractor. Very easy to use as you can see through it and line the blade up spot on.

Hello Roly, How are you doing? They look good! And well finished too, Thanks for posting, Bob

heres a few i have done and hang evey year on my door

I think the Super Sharps are designed for thicker solid wood and not for plywood types. If I was cutting plywood, I would use a reverse or ultra reverse type blade to reduce splinters. From the Super Sharp website -- "Some blade manufacturers do not "set" their saw-teeth, while others set the teeth only one way. We set our teeth both ways, and also insert a raker tooth to ensure perfect tracking and clean cuts every time." This design works well for cutting thicker wood and clearing the kerf but not well for plywood.

If interested in the Pegas blade, now is a good time to buy. We have an anniversary special until October 30th. When checking out, enter. ANNIV12. For an additional 12% discount. Orders over $35 shipped free to USA customers.

Kevin, Thank you for trying the PS blades. Always look forward to test reports and advice from the forum.

I was happy to hear that I was right. Thanks. I pretty much found the same. I was cutting a stack of 1/4" walnut & maple 4 plies thick. The Pegas #5mgt did a much better job and was more steerable.

Every year, between first part of Aug through Oct, I'm crazy busy at work and hardly able to get into the shop. But I was able to knock these out, which was a lot of fun. Wooden Jack-o’-lanterns made out of some cedar fence boards. Playing around with different finishes. The darker one is burnt with a torch before staining it, which adds a nice effect.
