Is it OK to submit some things I cut out last year? My DW has just started making a gosh-awful noise, so I'm dead in the water until I open her up and see what I see. Anyway, here's 3 SG patterns I cut out when I got started out last year. Oh, and one of the eggs lettering broke up bigtime when my sister-in-law dropped it on her floor (heavy sigh).

I ran across an Judy Gale Roberts intarsia pattern that I purchased some time ago and never got around to making it so I decided I would give it a try. I decided as I was cutting it, to put it into a frame with a painted backer board.I showed it to my neighbor as i was part way through the project and he suggested that I place a bead into the center of the eye instead of a dowel. I liked that idea and did that. I liked the results of it right away. Also I was wishing I had a Wonder Wheel so I could emphasize the hair in the lions mane. I decided to give my Dremel tool a try and see what I might be able to do it using it. It worked pretty well and I am happy with the results from it too. So overall I like the finished project fairly well. Still struggle with gluing and finishing my intarsia projects but a little happier than I normally am. Dick heppnerguy

I cut two more toppers for Easter. The front is 1/4 Maple that was painted by my wife. All I know about the backer is that it is 1/4 but uncertain of the type. Thought it looked pretty cool with this grain. Happy Easter Village Scrollers!

#8 in my series of Norman Rockwell baseball themed puzzles. Overall 8”x10”. Puzzle 7”x7”, 81 pieces

Olivia Newton John and John Travolta as Sandy and Danny.

My latest cut is the Russ Beard Leopard, this is my fifth cut, it took me about between 40-50 hours to cut, to time is not an issue. The pattern was cut on a highly modified Marlet Scroll Saw (your Wen) using 1/4” Prime Ply Grade B/BB. Used approximately 4 Doz Niqua #1 & 2 Blades ( not much choice where I live). Finished with Rustins Danish Oil, then two coats Medium Oak wood stain, and the a final coat of clear Matt varnish. The frame is going to be pine if I can find straight pieces most of our pine looks like gem clips, once the frame is made I want to burn it with a blow torch and brush it with a wire brush until I’ve got a true rustic Africa feel to it and apply sanding sealer and some Gloss Clear Varnish.

This is such an awesome pattern. Thanks Charlie E.

The other rose, can't stand waste so I try to use everything. 6inch round plaque, clear pine, 1/2 inch thick. Food coloring for the dyes, FD Polar #1 blades.

Easter chicken is a Steve good pattern,and the eggs are popular.

Finished this today, cut from 1/4BB with a 1/8BB backer. I made the frame from poplar and stained it. No more large projects for a while!

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.

I saw this on a social media Ad the other day, I felt compelled to make it today, I just hand drew it out on the wood & cut it out....then did a little shaping......now I will have to make a shelf for it..... American heritage & red mahogany stains....simple powerful piece. God Bless

Bunnys never age!

Very well done...and good luck with your saw... seems to be the bearings

Nice work, we don’t care when you did it. However, I have to say usually when most folks use “DW” as an abbreviation, it usually refers to “darling wife” or maybe. “D$#@ wife” if upset with her. So, I first read that sentence as my darling wife so she was making aweful noise and wasn’t sure how you planned to open her up. Finally the brain worked and figured out you meant your saw, I’m assuming It’s a Dewalt.

Very well done. I hope you get the DW fixed.

Thanks BArb for posting that site, it is just what I need for a project I am working on right now!

A couple of years ago I bought a Rikon variable speed grinder to sand and shape my intarsia pieces. The top picture is an adapter that I found that would fit a 5/8" shaft. For it to fit good I had to cut the threads off the grinder shaft. In December Rockler had the low speed grinder on sale so I bought one. The slower speed seems to work better for sanding and shaping. I decided I didn't want to cut the shaft off so I went to a machine shop and had an adapter made. Works great. Sure wasn't cheap but boys toys aren't.

Greetings to All.... Was in need of a Pattern the other day, so ventued into good Ole GOOGLE .... IMAGE.... Brother is a Harley person, so the Loge caught my attention. Ran across this one that I have Never Seen Before. Kind of did Excite me some, so off and away I went. Any Pro and As Always Con Comments are Always Welcome.............................Just me .... Danny :+} P.S. A Very Good Canadian Friend introduced me to cutting out Everything and painting and then....Gluing each piece back in its place. Wonder what its called? :+}

I did the same thing for an old furnace motor, but I had the end of the shaft threaded to fit a 1/2" Jacob's chuck. The motor is 1750 rpm, which I think is just right for sanding and shaping with larger bits. I had it done for free at a technical college I was teaching at. One of the students in the machining course got to thread a hardened shaft to fit the chuck, and I got a basically very versatile tool at low cost. Been using it for about 35 years now. Tom

My first event of the year just ended, 2 days (Friday and Saturday). Large event with 160 vendors in a beautiful park. Weather was great, crowds were huge. I didn't make as much as I expected. Inflation is definitely tightening some wallets understandably. I sold a total of 62 pieces at an average price of $32.50 over the two days. Overall very happy. All vendors said the same thing "Sales were good, they just weren't fabulous." Next event in 2 weeks, one of my best 1 day events each year. See how it goes.

Hi all, I thought I might try an Alex Fox pattern, anyone know what he puts his patterns on and then just sticks it on the wood? I wonder if it is full size shipping labels or what, it's something that peels off. Thanks Bill

Stack cut the white layer, 1/8” Baltic birch. The back layer is 1/2” maple that I glued and planed. After cutting, I gave them to my wife for painting. She is keeping the blue rabbit. The pink rabbit is going to one of our grand nieces. Sue Mey pattern.

Hi Nice patterns, you did a great job. Good luck with your saw, Mine knocked once a long time ago, Bill

Nice work Joe. Keep us updated on what you find in your saw.

I cannot remember exactly-there is one that is similar on Scroller Online.

I agree with everyone's comments. It is a wonderful project that you cut and it turned out to be outstanding. Dick heppnerguy

I have never seen a lettering like this one on a Harley sign. Maybe you should contact Harley and offer to sell them the rights to this one. ha ha ha Actually it is very outstanding and is full of personality. Great project Dick heppnerguy

Thank you. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I was not sure if I would like the end results when i started cutting it but I have to say I enjoyed making the piece and taking the extra time to mount is on a backer board and making a frame for it too. I think it inspired me a little that I probably with start another of my intarsia patterns that I have purchased and never taken the time to make. Dick heppnerguy

Dave, nice setup, how did you ever make out with your sander or bandsaw that the company wasn’t helping, RJ

Awesome pattern and cutting.

Nice, I like the bead idea!

awesome job

Hi from Barbara South Africa The only head of a lion on a wall I will agree with and he is majestic as they all are. Beautiful work.

Nice job, Dick. That is something you definitely can be happy about.

Wonderful work, well done. Marg

Just a shawl pin

Each Harley fan will enjoy this - fine work!

Love it!

I used to sell Ca glue and Accelerator when I worked in a hobby shop. Accelerator is not necessary. Just blow on it and the moisture from your breath will accelerate it just as well.

Steve Good has some very basic tutorials on using Inkscape to do what you are wanting to do. Check him out at Scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com..

For this time of year it make a powerful statement.

Amazon has them as well as Joann fabric. Why do you want to use plastic stencils? Isn't using a computer easier?

They look terrific. Great work. Marg

They are lovely. I like the colors that your wife chose. Well done, both of you. Marg

Very nice works - I think there will be lots of more orders in the future!

Zdravím vás. Jen tak pro radost jsem vyřezala.

The oiling really emphasizes the beauty. Nice cutting.

Nice cutting on a beautiful piece of timber. Heldas does some great patterns
