Wall plague for my daugther - birch plywood 5/32 inch, backer birch plywood 1/4 inch stained black

I've been wanting to cut these Steve Good patterns for some time. The horse is 3/4" Select Pine with Pegas MGR # 5 blades. Now to figure what to finish it with. The switch plate toppers (1/8" BB) I'm going to see if they will sell at the town farmers market this summer. Used some #5's and #3's. And now . . . time to relax.

Celebrating with a new puzzle "Meeting on the Mound" 11.25”x12” - 240 pieces

Cause I posted the seahorse yesterday....lol Pattern from Wooden Teddy Bear

In this project I combined peace symbol and an anti-war slogan "Make love, not war". Top layer has quite fragile areas, but I didn't change it because I liked the way it looks. Peace pattern Video of making project

I found a couple of black and white images of Alligators on-line that I was able to convert into scrollable patterns. I thought they would make for a portrait of something a little different. I knew I was going to hand paint with Artist Acrylics, so I used up a piece of my 5/32” solid core Birch for the cut panel and the positive images were then mounted on 1/4” thick BB ply backer. Although there are some exceedingly small detail cuts, the cutting was easy, using Pegas #2/0 spiral blades, with just over 150 holes to produce the two images. After painting and assembly, the panel was protected with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Spray Lacquer. Now here is the question: Did you know that Alligators are not Green, regardless of what most painted images depict? When I did a Google search for the actual color of Alligators and looked at many photos, I found out that they are most often blackish, with light toned under bodies. Alligator colors can vary with their habitation, and some can be somewhat green but most are not. The Frame is my standard 1 3/4” wide Poplar stained with Minwax Ebony and protected with multiple coats of Minwax clear Gloss Wipe-on-Poly. Comments and critique always welcome. Edit: Corrected the spelling of Alligator and added a camera raw image photo below.

Custom request. Wedding Rings designer unknown. One is made from 1/2" Ash and the other from 1/2" Hard Maple. Both cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using #1R and #3R MGT blades. The finish is spray Lacquer clear satin. Comments welcome.

So I put my new table saw together a few minutes ago and this is so dumb on their part. I gotta send it back. They put the blade way down below the table. How the heck do they think it’s supposed to cut like that?

Got the pattern from Wooden Teddy Bear. I just thought it was cute....lol

Finished this up today, cut from 1/4 project panel with a 1/8B backer and a painted pine frame. Hope I got it right Frank!

Kevin, fold the legs in. When the table goes down the blade should be about right. LOL Did you buy it on April 1?

Finished this morning. Botas Helder pattern on white poplar burl slab. 21 X 11 X 3/4 109 cuts with Sawbird #3 ultra reverse. Pre-oil and post oil pics.

So, is it April Fools month now? I'm just trying to keep up.

I got "sucked in" on one of your previous April 1 jokes, so always a little suspicious of your early April posts.

Awesome job. I bet you knocked that out in what, 10... 15 minutes?

Sorry, I was just joking around, I wondered if anyone would catch it as a joke or not. LOL

Kevin, if you read the very fine print in the instruction book, it says to use a metric crescent wrench when assembling table. I would venture to say you used an ASA standard crescent wrench when assembling.

You need a larger saw blade (XXL I'm thinking). LOL Jim

All finished....great pattern, Thanks Jim Blume.

I also have a Dewalt Job site Table Saw. There should be a crank on the front to raise and lower the blade.

Are you saying you cannot raise the blade, that sucks

Basket pattern by Alex Fox. I used 1/4" Hard Maple 10" square. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1R MGT blades. The finish is two coats of spray Shellac with sanding between coats. This piece of wood was extremely cupped and after cutting the rings and gluing, turned out nice and flat. Comments welcome.

You're about 7 days late Kevin. But, better late than never.

very nice work, I hope they sell well

Very well done for sure.

very cute

very nice job

Nice work!

Ok thanks I have a lot of creative woodworking & craft magazines but not much else. I'll keep looking around might get lucky one day and find it. I Was going to make one for our neighbors 50th this year in July.

I really love them and want to try them. Yours make me want even more. Lovely work.

Very nice works - fine for the door of childrens room! I like it

Very busy and fine work! I'm sure that the toppers will sell very well!

Different. You did a great job. Marg

Another cute one, well done. Marg

Had an order for a Dwight Yokum. 2nd project finished in the new shop.

For you Marg Sung by a Perth Band "The Magnificent 7" 14 Hey Dwight Yoakam.mp3

You've been busy, Joe. Love the horse. Hope your sales go well.

Nice stuff Joe. I used to quite well with the "Switch Sitters" I cut cats in various poses so they could sit on the light switches and bagged them up in lots of 3 and five various ones. I painted them all black. Hope you do well.

Second picture does look better.

Nice choice on the colors!

Nice cuts, I will bet the toppers sell.

I beg your pardon! Nice job.

Never heard of him but you cut a terrific portrait. Marg

Super cool!

Frank, No offense was taken or disrespect perceived to your comment. It was just a little tidbit about Inkscape I discovered and thought I'd pass along.

Maybe not. I read someplace that the whole region has suffered from some historically bad weather the past few years. Something about too much rain and harvesting and planting was impossible because the ground was too soft or some such thing. Apparently it was enough of a problem that supplies and prices were expected to be impacted for a long time. This all started before Russia invaded Ukraine. That development only makes things worse. And of course mills were shut down during the pandemic and of course labor problems aren't unique to the USA and of course shipping problems compound everything. Talk about a perfect storm. I'm starting to wonder if I will ever see BB ply again in my lifetime.
