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

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

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.

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.

Given our present heat wave I could do with a little snowy weather for a day or two.

I can run but I can,t hide. Very few things I,ve done since COVID, I,m not the same anymore. I don't want to lift a finger.

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.

I ran across this pattern on a European scroll saw page and asked where I could buy the pattern. I was drawn into it at first sight. I never received an answer but posted that I was looking for it. Luckily someone responded and I was able to get the pattern. It was in a format that I have never seen and I was unable to use it. I have a good friend who was able to change it into a format that I could use. After I got it printed, I decided I was not skilled enough to make it. I was kidded a lot about when i was going to make the project. So I finally decided I would at least give it a try. This is the end results and fortunately for me, my wife really liked it and it is now hanging on our front room wall. Each feather has 50 holes and there are about 36 feathers in the project. That meany each feather was going to take in the neighborhood of an hour to cut. Well long story shortened, I finally got through the project. I was not happy with the painting on the body of the bird, but other than that, I am happy with the overall results. Dick heppnerguy

this is an Italian mastiff breed

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

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.

Just a quick project. Left over poplar, bb ply and ???? Home team is Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Currently 3/0. Also back to back Grey Cup winners! Hopefully we can make it 3 this year!!!

You knocked it out of the park again John ! The thing is we would expect nothing less from you. Great job thanks for showing us your beautiful work.

John, these are great. For reference, how tall the the cat rocker? Thanks

I now list the Minimum Bit Size on the 3 dozen/pack Pegas blades.

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.

Inspired by Steve Good

Nice job on that Barb.

WoW Dick. You outdid yourself with that one. Almost as bad as the clock tower. Great job. You have a lot of patience to cut all thos feathers. I guess you never know what you can do until you try it. Remember I never thought I could do that clock tower.

You outdid yourself on that one. I agree with FrankV on those likes. Hard to keep straight.

Good evening, its a Steve Good pattern, I changed a little to add the color. I know I usually don’t post my work, well I thought this one came out nice, thx for checking it out, RJ

Hey Kevin: It pays to be stubborn some times....LOL.....Covid twice. It may have kicked your butt(temporarily) but you are slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things. Now, go find a cutie at the grocery store and make her a sign.... Take Care Fab4

Miricule happen , thanks Don!!!

Well at least I figured out what caused my absence, COVID 2 times back to back. Thank you Bobby

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

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.

Great job on that Frank

Cut from 1/2" Red Oak

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.

If that isn't a labour of love, I don't know what is Dick. Super

We enjoy going camping and spending time with friends in the summer.

AMAZING, JUST AMAZING.........JAN

Converted a H Donovan illustration to a 11’ x 17” scroll saw pattern. Cut panel is 5/32” solid core Maple mounted on a hand painted ¼” thk BB Ply backer. Hand painting done using Artist Acrylic Paints. Panel cutting done using Pegas #0 spiral blades. Assembled panel is protected with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. Frame is my typical 1 ¾” wide Poplar stained with Minwax Fruitwood and finished with multiple coats of Minwax Clear Gloss Wipe-on Poly. Tried the Fruitwood stain, a new color for me. I like the way it looks for a light color frame on some nice clear pieces of Poplar that I used. As always, comments and critiques welcome and appreciated.

I find that if I set small goals to do things that bring joy to others I am more motivated. A small, random act of kindness is fuel for tomorrow.

Cut this from left over BB ply and oak scraps....A lot of layers of spar varnish so it will stand up outdoors....Steve Good does a lot of amazing free patterns for us scrollers, Thanks for looking, steve.

This was a gift when I retired, it’s been wrapped in bubble plastic for 6-7 yrs. I found it this morning whilst looking for something else, gave it a good polish and will hang it up in the cottage. Because I’m doing scroll saw work now this Intarsia project has inspired me to add this to my list of projects I must try.
