Latest name puzzle. Gift for my daughter's sister-in-law. 3/4" ply with 1/8 backer. Cut with #5 full reverse FD blade. Colour done by Unicorn Spit - I also painted the backer board with the matching colours. Finished with one coat of Tung Oil. The nursery apparently has a nautical theme so the left letter and right letter are the correct nautical colours. It is sitting on two newly made cell/tablet/e-book holders also cut with #5 mg blade and finished with Tung Oil. Steve Good pattern.

I use a small bedroom have a dust collector and close the door , I have a little dust but it doesn't get out of the room and clean the room once a week . No problems.

I do use a spare bedroom for scrolling. I do use dust collection. I do NOT live in an apartment or condo.. this hobby is loud. Saw, dust collection, sanders. We downsized by buying a pre-owned modular home. It ain’t fancy, but we love it!

Had to be done for my garden. A Steve Good pattern Rolyfied with eyes and lasered letters. Roly

I know it well

You'd have to use some form of dust collection but then it would depend on your neighbours I imagine. A saw + vacuum creates a LOT of noise.

I think I have this figured out: I glue as many patterns as will fit on the flooring sample. Roughly cut them using a coarse blade designed for scrolling in thick wood. Tape the two layers together and cut the outside of the cross with a Pegas #3 MGT blade, taping as I go because if there are no pin nails, they will move. Find and remove any pin nails that I haven't hit already. Once the flooring is separated from the backing, I pop the tongue and groove joints apart, add glue and clap them together. At this point, I don't need the back piece, but I want to experiment with painting them, so I tape, drill, and cut like I would for any stack cut.

fantastic job

I got an order for a charcuterie board at my craft show last fall that I could not do it at the time because I was going to Florida for the winter. So I finally got to it because a few days of rain stopped the golf for awhile. So it turned out that the order for one board is now 2 boards. Times are tough less golf more sawdust and epoxy. LOL

Hey Everyone! In this scroll saw project video I make this Amazing Gnome Welcome Sign using basic materials and a Fence Slat! This Steve Good design would be perfect for the Gnome Lover in your life and add a beautiful piece by the front door! Hope you all like the video! #ArtisanPirate

Awesome job. I'm usually painting my backers gloss. I think the matt gives it a whole different look. I'll have to try that. Thanks for sharing Jim.

thank you so much. You are to kind. I did almost not cut it because I thought it might be more effort then I wanted to put out. But because the wife likes it, I am happy I made the effort. Dick heppnerguy

Not a Star Wars or Fantasy film lover but I should have to say, you did another great job with this project. I should probably get out of my shell and cut some of this kind of pattern because so many people love them. I am missing the boat living in only what I like to cut. Dick heppnerguy

That does look so cool. I NEED to start cutting some of your great patterns like this one. I have quite a few downloaded but somehow don't seem to get to them. My wife feels like I spend too much of my time in my shop so I try to spend more time with her and try to keep her happy. Dick heppnerguy

Thurman, I just visited the Carter Products web site. They have the CTR1 stabilizer for $82.95 to fit 14" to 18" band saws. I am calling them to see if it will fit my Grizzly.

Neat cut, looks good. Roly

Exactly what I want to do.

Now thats the best post I have seen on here yet! 151641 stars!

Thank You heppnerguy , I have to say this site is first class And the members made me feel right at home from the very first day , I have picked up some brilliant tips and ideas and the patterns that are available well just spoilt for choice , I dont have to go hunting here n there for them , Some of the sites i have looked at it seems they expect everyone to be an expert right from the start and that makes you feel as tho you cannot ask the basic questions , No so with this Group just the opposite members are very happy to help . Thanks again Tony

For a first job, picture to cut project, I think you did outstanding. I've made my first pattern using Gimp but haven't attempted to cut it yet. It's quite "busy" in the pattern with a LOT of little cuts. Thinking of going back and getting rid of some of the areas that aren't really a part of the detail. There is no doubt if someone seen the project that knew your dog, they would know the cutting was of him. By the way, love the wood you selected for the project.

I was wondering if anybody does their scrollsawing in an apartment or condo? For a range of reasons, I am considering moving to a smaller home which would not have a dedicated woodworking space but I don't want to give up my scrollsawing hobby. I am trying to decide if it is feasible to do scrollsawing and other small-scale woodworking in a spare bedroom. This bedroom would be sometimes used for guests so sawdust and tool storage are my primary concerns. Does anybody else use their scrollsaw in a condo or apartment, or in a bedroom that is also used for sleeping? -Alan
