I already had Charles Dearing's, center Robin, on my wall. Since he's probably my all time favorite I added a couple more.

How many times have I shown some project finished to non customers and landed a job!. Well this is the second one this week I think.this is a Steve good pattern, with out the name and type of fish. 1/2" plywood,#3 flying Dutchman blade,gorilla glue as I have the shop scattered and misplaced the tite bond wood glue.11"wide x 12" tall

Been a long time since i posted anything on here but Been wanting to do this piece for a long time but never could find a pattern for. So I tried to make my own pattern for and this is the end result. I didn't have any intention of finishing it I just glued it up to see if the pattern I made fit together which it did. My neighbor dropped over and seen and wanted so bad for there sons wedding in a week or. They wanted there names on it so had no choice but to do it with a marker. Made from 1/2" plywood

My wife's niece from Germany visited us last month. She is crazy for everything Lufthansa. She knows many of the crews and has even been written up in their in-flight magazine. She is a Dr. of research oncology but would give it all up to fly for them. She has her private licence. Problem is she is too short and can't reach the pedals on the airliners. I told her I would do a Lufthansa plane for her. She always loved the Junkers JU-52. This aircraft came out in 1932, shortly before the DC-3 and was Lufthansa's first airliner. It looks similar to the Ford Tri-motor and has the same corrigated skin. Several aircraft are still flying and there are some Youtube videos of one based in Switzerland. The cutting was a challenge because so much of the aircraft is painted black and all the straight lines of the corrigation and I also elimated the doors underneath. They close up in flight. I had to add some extra bridges to keep it all together.

A project finished Monday, July 4th. The pattern is by Judy & Dave Peterson and found in their book, Making Wooden Dinosaur Toys and Puzzles. I used 3/4" Poplar. It is approximately 5 1/2" x 11". Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #3R MGT blades and Pegas #1 Spiral blades for the veining. After sanding with a Mac Mop, dipped in diluted Shellac and then sanded again. Blades purchased from artcraftersonline.com. Comments welcome.

The 1st 8 pics are new ones. I have made for the 1st time. I posted a movie of some of the rockers. The hearts are glued in, as I feel they are a little small for nippers. Also a pic of them all together, shrink wrapped and ready to go. All cut from radiata pine 25 - 30mm thick. 2 coats of clear gloss lacquer. Used Olson PG#7 for cutting exterior and PG#5 for inside cuts. Veining with FD#3 Spiral Also tried Olson Mach#7 They cut like a hot knife through butter, but do not leave as smooth a finish as the others.

An other suggestion to ADDING COLOR TO SCROLLING. I nice effect is to highlight the edges of a scroll-saw project. With the high cost of good hardwood today a good way to save $$ is to use cheap plywood. Prime and paint the front and back surfaces of a piece of plywood. Completely sand and finish like you usually do. Even apply a top clear-coat and re-sand. Glue the pattern to the front surface and glue a blank sheet of paper to the back surface. Cutout as usual using a fine blade. Paint the exposed edges a totally different color and let dry. Remove the paper pattern from the front surface and remove the blank sheet of paper from the back surface. Assemble and you'r done. This clock is an example this process.

awesome job

Very nice work all around.....I think the man was a special talent....Nice work!

Thanks Kevin. Glad to see you up and working.

Gooooooooooooooood Morniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Vietnam! Nice cuttings Charlie and no mistaking who they are off.

Looking good my man. Glad to see you back cutting.

Great job cutting those.

Once you get a good "focus" burn.. measure the distance from the piece to the laser and write it down.. then every piece you want to burn set the distance to you piece to the laser head.. Ever played with a magnifying glass out in the sun to set papers etc. on fire as a kid.. you get just the right distance and you can hone in that dot to be a small dot.. the smaller the dot the more concentrated the power / heat of it is.. the better and more crisp your burn will be..

Down Right Awesome Kevin. It's Great to have ya back.

Kevin, excellent cutting, glad to see you are up and cutting, RJ

Wonderful job on a tough project....Very nice

this is a Steve good pattern and i decided to do a double

Hello every one, a request from my sister-in-law (I have a few) I show you my last work, again a Tree of life but I liked to make it. I broke 2 or 3 blades but I didn't regret. It's white oak Thickness 6mm ( 0.236 inch) Diameter 15 mm (5.90 inches) The support is tinted.

Nice cutting on those Robins. He would be proud.

Instead of buying the grid mat thingy I'd probably just mount the laser to your board and burn your own grid using the laser.. this way it'll be square to what the laser will do.. Maybe they're built really well and squared up good but if not then burning the grid into your board / mount then the grid would always be square to the laser. As for doing taller projects.. could you build a mount on each side of the machine with slots so you can just slide it up and re-tighten the mounting bolts.. or have various holes throughout the mount uprights.. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say, LOL.. Maybe you could use a metal ruler cut slot in the middle for mounting.. that way the ruler would indicate you have both sides at the same height? Just throwing some ideas..

Thank you Mr. John B!!!!

Was wondering what had become of A.K.? Very well done. Did you make the bass too?

Great work! Your walls must be full by now.

Looks like your hooked Ray, nice job, RJ

Snow is a form of precipitation that falls in the winter time. We had way too much of it this year.

This is where I like to spend time. 20210718_135634.mp4

nice job

terrific job

Sorry he was never one of my favorites in fact I only liked him in one movie. You have done a great job on the portraits though, well done. Marg

Looks great Denny. Lots of little boys would love it. Marg

Those are all awesome.

This one took a couple of minutes. I like to miniaturize most of my portrait type patterns, but at 7 1/4” x 11” I probably took it a little too far on this cat. The entire project was cut with Pegas 2/0 spirals. 1/4” Baltic Birch, Danish Oil applied,mounted on a nominal 1” pine board stained black. Though my wife loves this one, I think it was more trouble than it was worth.

I live in Ormond Beach Florida. I found on-line, some very old B&W photos of famous places here in Ormond Beach, one of which is the Ormond Hotel from back in 1894. It is now called the “Ormond Heritage Condominium” but looks amazingly like it did in its heyday. Here is the Photo. I posted a copy of this photo on 6/19 in Pattern Central/ Pattern Requests with a request for someone to help me out with a pattern. Grampa (Paul) stepped up and produced a Pattern for me. Thank you, Paul. From his pattern I was able to modify it a little (well maybe a bit more than a little). Paul’s pattern is a very simplistic representation of the hotel in the photo as the photo is very grainy and lacked sharp detail. So, I decided to take some artistic liberties to enhance the image to present a credible image while trying to maintain the original image of the hotel itself. Using Paul’s pattern overlayed on the Photo I was able to add lot of details to the trees and bushes, even adding some Palm leaves so the tree trunks look like trees and not poles. There are some trees in the photo on the right side that interfered with view of the building so I eliminated them for clarity. The cutting is 5/32”x12”x18” Solid Core Maple Ply mounted on a1/4” thick BB Ply backer simply painted with Krylon rattle can spray Flat Black. I used various Pegas spiral and regular blades to cut the pattern. As none of the line work was straight, it was necessary to take a lot of liberties during the cutting. Most apparent is the baluster spacing of the Hand Railing. I protected the assembled panel with multiple coats Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. The frame is 2 ¾” wide 5/4” thick pre-primed molding. I used a frame making router bit to produce the profile. The cutting was not as good as I expected and although I did a lot of both machine and hand sanding, the defects became obvious (in the photo) after the frame was primed and painted. From a viewing distance it doesn’t look tooooo bad. The Paint is a Glidden MAX-FLEX rattle can spray product called Phantom Hue (Silver) in a Satin finish that dries quickly and lays very flat and is supposed to be very durable. Critiques and comments welcome.

Very Cool!!!

Cut from 1/2" Red Oak

Great job on an excellent verse. If only we'd all take it to heart.

Here's my first image and how I've got it laid out on a plastic table for now. I'll have to come up with a better setup for sure.

NP @OCtoolguy This is the one I use: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08J45VHDV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My laser never goes through the wood, I only engrave with it so no, it never damages the mat I have my laser suspended on 2 blocks. The Neje comes with 2 90 degree angle brackets. I mounted them to 2 1"x1"x 4" blocks on the edge of my mounting board It is not too unstable at all. I never adjust the height - if you have to adjust the height, then you will more than likely also have to adjust the laser it self. My set up, I set the laser once and have not had to reset anything. Hope that helps

Looking good Kevin

Good job. I bet the concentration was intense when cutting all those straight lines.

I do like Dino's You did an Excellent job.

Thanks RJ. Always best in the Village!

Excellent craftsmanship, RJ

Very nicly done! Those parralel straight lines must have been a challenge I know I have done some cuts with similar lines and they are a bear to keep straight and difficult to keep the cuts on the lines. Again, good work!

Thanks heaps Marg, I think that some of my standard ones are. The Whale, Elephants, Chook and Duck. Some I have made from a simple colouring book pic and others I have found on the net (motor Bike and Worm). The Rockers are all patterns supplied by Barb.

very clever.......love them........JAN

Not really scrolling related, but I wanted to share a camping trip my son and I took last week. I think I'll have to make something to commemorate the trip. A great way to recharge the soul and make awesome memories with my boy!

Very clean work....Looks great!
