I had a couple ask me for a couple of dog leash/key ring holders at the craft show last Saturday. I finished them all need to contact them to arrange a drop at time and place. The patterns were supplied by our own Iggy. Thanks for looking Jim

I purchased the 2021 pattern book not to make ornaments or patterns to sell but because I loved the designs. A friend collects angels so this was perfect. I have cut a couple so far and these are really easy as not too many holes. The angel below uses a different font a getting 9 character name in was bit of a challenge. I added the year for fun. Thank you to Travis for these.

I have been busy cutting and painting, I cut a good few days of painting out. Then I spend a few days of painting. If that makes since, I have a few more trucks to cut and paint then I want to start on the Cars from the CARS movie. I believe it was Scrappile who wanted to see a 66 Ford. I hope I did it justice.

I was looking for a project to cut for one of my granddaughter when I came across this Steve Good pattern and showed it to my wife. She said that is a great pattern for the granddaughter I cut this one for. I started to cut it out of Red Cedar but the sawdust would not blow from the pattern and continued to build up in front of the blade. I was using a #1 Pegas blade and no.... I was not put on upside down. It became so much of a problem, I quit cutting it and made if from BB Ply instead. I still liked it well enough but I was a little disappointed by not being able to cut it from the wood I had chosen for it. Dick heppnerguy

Jim Blume pattern fresh off the saw

My trick when gluing back a piece that breaks is to after final sanding: 1. Place a piece of blue tape over the area where the piece broke. 2. Turn the work upside down on the bench or on a flat surface. 3. Check to make sure the piece will sit in the correct spot verifying the break joint fits togethers as best as possible. 4. Using tweezers, or the like, fit the piece into place so the blue tapes holes it securely in place. 5. Either using Titebond or a cyanate, apply a drop of glue to the back side, insuring it seeps into the joint crack. 6. Let set up...give it enough time, especially if using Titebond. 7. After dry, turn over and remove tape. There should be little or no glue on the surface. There may be a little bump of glue on the back that may need to be sanded down so the piece lays flat on the backer. I like to use my dremel with a sanding drum for a delicate spot like that. I have done this many times successfully.

I ordered a BM-20 Hawk October 1st and I received it Friday November 12th. I was told it would be 6 to 8 weeks and it was. It was very well packaged. Setup only took about an 1 to 1 1/2 hours. I made a few cuts and was pleasantly surprised by the smooth cuts, and low vibration. I still need to learn all the new adjustments to fine tune.

Found this one in the Pattern Library, can't recall who did the pattern. My daughter looked at it and saw a wolf with raggedy ears....she now calls it the "angel wolf". I picture this as what my guardian angel looks like at the end of most days. Maybe with a bottle of something 100-proof nearby. 1" whiteboard, used two Pegas #3MG blades. Minwax "Early American" stain. Quick cut, there's not many pilot holes. There's one spot that's kinda delicate, next to her right knee, cracked when I was sanding. Glued it back on, sanded down the spot but I can never seem to get rid of any surface glue seepage no matter how deeply I sand. Thus the little white blotch.

I still price my work to sell for a fair (to me) price. I can take it home, I don’t mind. I enjoy doing the craft shows. It’s fun. If someone doesn’t want to pay for it, that’s ok! I’ll still have it next time.

I know that this is way below the level of most of you but here is my first project - almost! I used food coloring to dye the wood to make it non-toxic. Still trying to figure out which color(s) to stain the outline of the puzzle. BTW - definitely not my puzzle design!

Hi Everyone, A small job, the pattern come from Steve Good. (Thank you to him) See you for next work. Eric

I was looking for a quick piece to cut for a new decoration and I found this one on Steve Good's page and liked it , so here is how it turned out. I only used BB Birch ply so it isn't anything really special but i still enjoyed cutting it and giving it to my wife. Dick heppnerguy

A couple of weeks ago I took one of my grandsons to Tombstone, Arizona. He was very excited about the trip and had a real love for the movie "Tombstone" and very familiar with what we were about to see. He told me on the way home that he really wanted me to make him something as a reminder of our trip there, for Christmas. This is what I came up with for him and I am pretty sure he will love it when he opens it. Dick heppnerguy

Sweeeet! Congrats!

Patti must be crazy.....might consider taking her to a shrink. 54 years? Dick heppnerguy

Beautiful. Love the blue backing. Well done Dick. Marg

Oh ya.,, the 1966 Ford PU.... My favorite pickup of all I owned in my life..... Awesome job!!! I might add, I now have a 2007 GMC Duramax Diesel 3/4 ton.. only 77K miles on it... I would love to trade it for a 1966 Ford F100 with a 352 engine... good shape... I'd trade straight across it it was the right one.

You have found a nice niche Bobby. Your painting skills are excellent!

Made out of birch, red chestnut stain and linseed oil.

$40 is not to much unless you are trying to sell to the flea market crowd. I have toy cars in my shop that sell for $35 they don't sell fast but they do sell. I only sell online and I found that if I make quality items and price them accordingly someone will buy them. At highr prices I sell less, work less, and have higher revenue. I don't have sales or discount anything except for customers that buy a lot. I have one customer that has spent about $600 in my shop this year on custom orders. This customer gets about a 20% discount but I don't tell them.

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

10"X8" 1/8" BBPLY cut with 02 spiral

My wife of 52 years could charm the shrink into saying I'm the one who is nuts. I've never won an argument. Ever!

You want me to tell her you said that, Dick.... You know she would somehow get even,,,,

Another very nice one, Dick..

very nice

enjoy your new saw

Re Ben 2008 my Condolences , to family and friends, from what I read he was agood man, lived a good life and enjoyed an activity making sawdust with a scroll saw.

I had a 788 type 1 so much better than the Dremal I was using, I used it for years did dismantle and gave it a lube job once ; watching Bob Bokaw's help videos made it an easy chore, eventually upgraded to a new Seyco sold the dewalt saw new is has had bo issues with it

Thanks for the heads up,on that subject I read that older 788 saws were made in Canada ,the one I am looking at from the photo is newer Should I pass if made in China? I am thinking about adding the Pegas blade holding upgrade. The saw deal is 350.00. With stand and light.

Superb job!!!

They will love them. Well done. Marg

I love his patterns, have about 20 more in a row on my cut list. The laughing Jesus was one I asked him to do. It's a favorite pic of my pastors family. It's in the new patterns here in the villiage.

Nice project. Still haven't gotten around to cut any of Jim Blumes pattern but I certainly want to do some, as they are such nicely done patterns with some challenge in them to make them interesting to cut. Dick heppnerguy

Outstanding Brent!

Nice, They will be handy as a place for leashes, my wife is always looking for one for the dogs. Chris

Very nice Dick

I've not done business with this company but they carry several manufacturers blades: https://cherrytreetoys.com/scroll-saw-blades/

Some more ornaments, latest SSW and crafts magazine. The single ornament took 1 1/2hrs of cutting, the other two I stack cut, 1 3/4hrs cutting. 40 holes in both patterns. FD #1 polar blades, one blade did both patterns.

Great job. Whats next?

awesome work

very nice job

Congratulations Michael, you’re well on your way!

great job

I didn't mean to hijack Kevin's topic regarding PS Woods Super Sharp blades but I sort of did. I showed the beginnings of a project and gave the SS blades a try on 3/4" oak. I tried #7's first and then tried the #5's but went back to the 7's. After making the initial framework using the SS blades on my Hegner saw, I had to switch saws to my EX21 because I just felt more comfortable on it. I also switched to Pegas #5 mgt blades. They are still my favorite blades. They performed so well on the 1/2" oak I can't say it enough. I'm not going to change blades in the future. They will remain my "go-to" blades. Anyway, here's where it's at so far. I cut all the 3/16" bands and it's just sitting together right now. Still have to do all the sanding and then the glue-up. This has been a fun project with a lot of head scratching to get all the angles and measurements right. The next one, if I do a next one, will be much easier.

Christmas already!!!?? That is great, very well done... Great talking to you today,,, thanks for calling..

Not sure I would call it "easy" as each pattern has challenging aspects to it. You did a great job on this, looks great!! You should be proud of your work! Chris

Here are some fall projects I did last year. I love scrolling and am near completion of my “she shed workshop”. . Can’t wait to REALLY get to work on projects. So many ideas…and so little time.

A couple of years ago, I had a stroke, resulting in loss of speech and some minor paralysis on my right side. One thing to be thankful for is using the scroll saw to improve my paralysis. The scroll saw was great therapy. This plaque was designed by me and cut on my scroll sawis made to express my feelings on being stroke survivor.. The walnut stick figure is split him into 2 pieces. It is like a puzzle where you are putting the puzzle pieces back together again. My speech is coming back, so it's back to my YouTube channel to cover various topics in this wide world of scrolling on my channel. So, I am very thankful to be a stroke survivor, who is getting many of the pieces back together and to also be a scroller which improves my coordination and allows me to express myself!
