Not really sure how long this one took me. Worked on it over two different days. I am fairly positive it took longer to get put back together and lined up than it did to cut out though. 1/2 inch birch ply top and backer. #5 olson reverse tooth.

My family and I are big Atlanta Braves fans. Especially my 7 year old grandson Ryder, and his favorite player is Freddie Freeman. I cut this for his Baseball wall. 11X14 in 3/8 red oak.

Had a really good time at the Craft Show today. There were a lot of people who remembered me and I remembered them. I sold a total of 44 puzzles and have special orders for 6 Dog Leash Holders. Here is a link to the video I took before the show started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECLOgtGGMhs&t=6s Thanks Jim

A few items I put in the church craft fair. My daughter painted them

Been absent lately.. But I got another project done. Total size is about 12x16 inches. It's cut from about 1/4" thick quilted maple guitar second blanks, using Olson #2/0R blades. It's a Sheila Landry pattern.

yester day was my first show of the year. I only took items Dog puzzles, clocks and lighted Christmas trees, This was a 4 hour show which had 30 venders and I had the biggest show ever $460. It shows sorry about no pictures I have a new computer and haven't been able to set my Cammmmmmmmmmmra uet. ike

Hello Everyone, I finished this job today in my garage, sunny day but cold 46.80F. My wife said, you are crazy (but she came with a cup of coffee) I don't know how to make the edges, did you have an idea? Eric

We have a knitting club in our community that meats every week to spend time together. I was asked to make a ball of wool holder, they show me a sample and I came up with these. Got the lazy Susan from Lee Valley ( 4” and 3” ) used some wood that I had and then my wife took over the painting. I made two sizes as requested. Will display on Saturday our Craft Day, if I have any left.

Just finished cutting these. Now for some sparkle paint. 1/8" BB, 8 layers (1" thick), #1 FD polar blades Can you tell which was the top and which was the bottom?

So these are double sided. One side is the snowman, and the other is the scarecrow. Made from box store 1x4x5' boards. the plans call to paint on the eyes and nose and buttons, but I have made 3 of these, and I just cut them from some scrap 1/8" thick ply. The flowers are hot glued on, and the scarves and bandanas are stapled on. Smiles are painted on, then the whole thing got a couple light coats of satin clear spray paint. Plans can be found here: https://www.hgtv.com/lifestyle/holidays/how-to-make-a-reversible-scarecrow-snowman-porch-display

Ha,,, Ha,, carful now... My wife was a huge fan/seller of Longaberger Baskets.... so much so... one time when my daughter and family visited... our son-in-law,,, while doing his business on the "pot" yelled out, and I quote, " Holy crap... I just counted 13 basket it this bathroom!!" True story!! Some times my wife can go a little overboard.... now it is quilting.. Material everywhere.... but I love her... No choice... been with her 54 years...

My granddaughter ask me if I had a pattern for a Farm Combine. I could not find one. After she was gone for about a month I found one and purchased it. She wanted to give it to a neighbor who had been a big help to her and her husband on their farm, as a thank you gift. I have never enjoyed wooden toys much but I decided to try and make one anyway. It was a little complex to understand the patterns at first and I even glued one of them on backwards and had to cut it off and hopefully it could figure out how to do that without damaging the preexisting vehicle. I got lucky on it and was able to cut another piece and put it on without it being noticeable. the wheels and the front cutting roll and the yellow grain shoot pivots too, to give it some interest. It was a little difficult for me but I am glad it came out as well as it did. I plan on making one for a farm guy who gave me a ride in one as he cut his field when I was in Oregon a few months ago.

Wondering if your couldnt contact wen for a replacement remote ! i found a wireless on and off box that i run my ceiling unit from -in a discount bin at home depot years ago . my unit didnt come with a remote . My method for the old Box fan and filter is basically the lazy man version - tape it on the front that was my first air filter

Sorry your lookers wasn't buyers... I honestly think they are worth well over the $40 price.. but how to convince a potential customer to see that value is something different.. They are beautiful and well crafted. A couple things come to mind, Maybe the show just didn't have the right crowd to see the value in them.. In some weird way.. sometimes the potential customer sees a cheap price which in turn makes them feel as if there is no value in it.. even though they love it.. the price is too cheap so they don't want it.. I have some family and friends that value everything by the price they paid for something.. ( ie have a relative that will buy $600 sun glasses and then almost forget them ( I believe on purpose ) just so he can say loudly in the restaurant oh dang I almost left my $600 glasses on the table or stupid things like "I'm not walking through this sand in my $800 sandals.. ) Sometimes you have to play games with customers.. ie mark them at $80 but you're running a 50% off sale.. that is if you're happy to get the $40 for them. That large of a % off though may make the customer think that you can't sell them so you're desperate to move them.. maybe 20 - 30% is a better option I was just making an example..

I like it! And I like @RabidAlien's idea about the rough wood frame. If you can find some that still has the saw mill marks and maybe a rust stained nail hole or two that would look great. I've also used horseshoe nails on a frame for a horse cutting. Of course what looks great to me looks lousy to the next person.

Got to be very careful what you put into a laser cutter.. toxic fumes are a dangerous thing.. yes you vent it outside but don't always get 100% of it.. also have to be considerant of neighbors if they're close.. I know folks suggest cutting / carving foam with the CNC because it's easier on the carving bits for newbies.. If you don't get the feed and router / spindle speeds set right you can ruin a $50 - 100 bit in like 2 seconds.. learning these machines if you're brand-new to them can be pricey too.. Don't ask how I know, LOL

Either dress up the edges (KYWoodmaster's round-over bit suggestion), or make a thin frame out of some old banged up wood, like from a pallet, and leave the barest overlap on the front of the piece, maybe 1/8".

I just got an order for this one. I'm charging $100, including materials. She will also pay the shipping and handling. Custom order so it took me some time to draw up the plans. A lot of time to sand it. The cutting part is the fun. The rest is just work.

My new pattern and project - Cardinal, the first Christmas project this year Video of making project Cardinal pattern

After all these years of scrolling one thing I've never done is cut a project on just 1 layer of 1/8" stock. I've always stacked the 1/8th" material to get it to 1/2" or more. With my new saw I'd thought I'd give cutting just 1 layer of 1/8th" a go. You know, it's much more difficult than I would have thought. The biggest issue for me is control of the cut. I've been trying different speeds, different blades and bottom line it's tough to control the cut cutting only 1 layer of 1/8th". I would have never figured that. I plan to keep experimenting with different blades and speeds, a great learning, and frustrating at times, lesson. But I'm confident that when all is said and done cutting 1 layer of 1/8" not the best idea, need to stack the thin stuff for more control. Anyhow, thats my 2 cents... Chris

My birthday present from the wife, spent the weekend setting it up. Hardest part was putting the stand together. It really does cut sweet! The wife asked if this makes me a big boy now

Congrats, that saw is a game changer, enjoy ! Chris

Congratulations JB on your craft show. Nice setup and video. 44 puzzles is a pretty good day. I see you don't shrink wrap your puzzles. Do the customers pick them up and take them apart?

Awesome, I'm sure it will be treasured for many years. !

That’s great and a fine addition to the wall, RJ

Thanks all, Make a frame with old wood,this idea seems well and goes right with the subject. Hello Franck ... The dimensions are Length: 6.69 width 5.51 thickness 0.23 I wouldn't want to pain or stain, I like natural wood in this case.

I been using Watco Natural for a few years and like the way it looks especially on Oak.

awesome job

I'll have to look him up.. Someone on here posted him, and you msg him on FB... His name from Paypal was Daniel Zimmerman.. Pretty sure this was the guy. https://www.facebook.com/daniel.zimmerman.9849 I sent him a msg asking if he was the guy I got some from. Waiting to hear back, but he does have some pics on his profile of scroll and wood stuff. I'll update this with if that is the guy. But the pics, and where he lives, and the name all match up from where I got it last time. Last time I got it, it was $64 shipped for i think it was 10 boards that are about 7.5x20 and then hou get like 10 that are 3x20.. something like t hat. all of them are about 5/16" thick and kinda rough planed.. but starting at 80grit, and sanding up, they make some nice stuff. a lot of the boards do have cupping on the bigger ones. the thinner ones have some big time bowing.. like a half inch or more over that 20". but if you are cutting small items, that bow won't be noticeable. I wish I had a panel sander to run them through and get them down to like 5/32 or 1/8".. They would make awesome pieces for ornaments. If I had a helix head on my planer, I coudl do it too. but Not sure I want to tear apart my brand new planer to put one in.. can't really afford it right now either.. so I'm saving them till I can afford a helical head.

Enjoy your new saw

Looks very nice

Thanks for your replies. I will keep trying to sell them. Craft shows around here are pretty much done for the year so I thought I would try Facebook market place.

Very, very nice. Red with a little green backer is great. Very well done. What is the source of the second blanks?

That's great! Glad you did well.

That looks very clean, Kris. Like the different colors on the backer for the different areas. Great job.

Excellent, Wichita. I sure can't tell which is top or bottom. I have to be careful when cutting two layers of 1/4 inch.

There are jig saw blades that will cut soft material like leather, foam and such. If you have a jig saw that might be an inexpensive option. There is also the SailRite Foam cutter: https://www.sailrite.com/Sailrite-Blade-8-Foam-Cutter-with-Carrying-Case-110V

It was a typo - I meant to type 571-5! Thanks!

We be brothers of a different mother!!!!!

Dale, I think you can easily charge $40 or more if you apply a finish. The finish will bring out the colors of the woods and enhance the look of the baskets.

My wife too! I go in the coat closet to look for something and those dam Longaberger baskets start falling out! She’s a quilter too and now cross stitch!

His website is a dead dog www.woodenitbenice.online... Like you tried for some time on line nothing but few patterns turned up but not the one you wish for...

Some of my Latest Truck Scroll Paintings. Since I,m an Old Scooby Fan I just had to do The Mystery Machine. I did the best I could on the faces of the gang. I am currently working on some Jeep's don't want to leave out anyone.

awesome job

thanks for sharing puzzles don't seem to sell in my area

Thanks very much for this idea Travis. I have both a laser engraving machine and a CNC milling/router machine and I would like a little corner for them as it does bring up a lot of negativity from some people on the SSV site. I know, I have experienced it. This is SCROLL SAW VILLAGE trusted site and should remain so but I think a small corner somewhere would be good for people who have these machines. I would relish the chance of learning from others what I need to know about running these machines effectively as I find myself stuck at times and with the different models of machines out there bound to be a few differing ways of working with each of them although I think a common thread may be the language that the operating code is written in (GRBL GCode ??) It seems like you are adding another burden to your workload and I hope it will not be too much to keep a rein on it as well, but if you wish I would certainly like a separate area where we could ask about projects etc. take care and stay safe Don W

I'm most thankful for our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Ditto on what Ray said. I had one quit and contacted Dremel. They actually sent me a set for my Dremel model free of charge. I say I had one... that is until the wife claimed it as a nail file for the dogs. Bought me a new on and let her keep that one.

Check the brushes. They are probably worn out and one of them jammed the armature. Not a hard fix if you can find them. Or make some. I'll bet that's what is wrong.

We knock the old fashion box fan with a filter taped on the front of it, I did that ( my mobile k is simalar to that ) sometimes something that works and cheap is the ticket -by the way sometimes your shop vac can clean them and you don't need to buy a new filter -those 3m performance filters are allot better than your standard dollar furnace filters .
