This is a Grampa pattern I finished this weekend. Double stack Oak and Maple 1/4 ply with 1/4 pine ply backer. The Maple piece was stained with Minwax Colonial Pine as well as the Maple frame. The Oak piece was stained with Minwax Natural and the Oak frame was stained with Minwax Red Oak. Both were sprayed with 5 coats of clear gloss and lightly sanded between coats. I used Pegas 2/0 and 0 spiral blades. Approximate size is 11X14. It was a fun project and thanks to Grampa for the pattern.

Made this for my grandson, who is on the Havana Ducks basketball team this year. All cut on the scroll saw, with 3/4" poplar for the body and 6mm BB for the wings. Finished with craft acrylics, but still needs the final clear coat. I have a lot more to make, and I don't work very hard at them, so it takes a while. Tom Havana duck movie.mp4

Made a clock of the car I'm building.. BUT, now that I made it and the local performance shop owner that specializes in these cars is really into these little Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged cars and has been consulting me a little on my build.. well I may just give it to him since he has helped steer me in the direction I'm going with my street / track car and has saved me a ton of money.. he could have sold me a lot of parts I really didn't need, LOL Anyway, cut from Cherry using a FD-UR #5 balde.

Thanks to Jim for these great patterns......It's been so hot that I have been unable to spend any time scrolling out in the garage, so I thought I would give watercolor pencils a try. The projects were previously triple stacked cut with # 3 and # 1 fd scroll reverse blades and I used Arteza 48 count watercolor pencils. Also, I Just want to say that I visit this website frequently and I have been inspired by and in awe of the wonderful group of talented scrollers that populate this site. Thanks to all..... Any and all critiques welcome.....forrest

I just got sent this pintrest page. I think there are enough ideas to keep you all busy for a long long time. https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/485544403587872563/

About 175 pieces of wenge and aspen. I really don't consider it intarsia because every piece is the same height and very little shaping.

I saw the little word patterns that Steve Good put on his page and I thought it would be fun to see how fast I could cut it. I was bored so I printed the pattern out and went to work on it. I was not concerned about how well it was going to come out but I had some old wood given to me that my neighbor had in their garbage so planed it down and decided to see how it cut. It is 1/4 inch thick and was very rough and had a lot of paint on it. I found it easy to cut and so away I went. Due to the fact that it was not something I was going to keep or even wanted to, I got to work on it. It took me 8 minutes to cut the words and 6 minutes to cut the backer board and about one minute to spray both pieces. I had to wait about 20 minutes for the paint to dry and then I glued it and set it face down under a board and put an 8 pound weight on it for a clamp. When I took the clamp off an hour later I found out it had stuck to the paper I had it laying on and the results was ugly as part of the paper stuck to the paint that was not quite dry. Moral of story is. don't get into a rush because it is not how fast one does a project but how well. I had fun timing myself and the wood cut nicely and it was free. plus I was not interested in keeping it when I finished. I had fun challenging myself and finding out the wood will work well for some simple projects in the future. Dick heppnerguy

Here is a little project I saw on Steve Good's site last week and decided to give it a try. I am in the process of making a neighbor one of the combines like I made during Christmas last year. I thought it would be fun to give my neighbor a windmill along with the combine to kind of set it off, as it is a farm thing too. It was a fun little project and I will most likely make a few more as I have a lot of country family folks in my family. I know they would probably like one also. It is an easy and fun project to make . This one I made with BB Ply. Dick heppnerguy

Great job Rodney, thanks for bringing the pattern to life.....Paul

I finished this project this morning. The pattern is by Jacob Fowler and found in the book “Woodworker’s Pattern Book”. I cut it on the Pegas Scroll Saw using several Pegas #1R MGT blades. The wood is1/2” unknown and 3/4” Red Oak for the base. The finish is spray Minwax Lacquer Clear Satin. Comments welcome.

Just wanted to put a couple of these on that I did today. Want to give a big shout out to Don in Brookline for taking the time to work on these for me. He did seven patterns for me for all mr grandkids. I have five more to do. Once I cut them all out I will sand them with my mop sander attached to my drill. My granddaughter is going to paint them all there favorite colors. Thank God I don’t have to do that. Lol. These are 9 1/2 x 7. Thanks again Don.

Erv is this better?? Esty.com

Very nice cutting there, Well done Rodney, They both are spot on! Bob

Couple of great pictures.. I like you framing method, with the backer border around it... Well done.

I have seen that one that Steve has on his site but what my "CEO" (wife) has in mind would be the Gnome holding the tree much like the ones that have a shovel and or a sign more for gardening. Ruby has thought about trying to do it with the computer but neither one of us are designers using the computers! She suggests items, I look for the patterns and do the cutting. I know someone will come up with one! Erv

Nice job on those! You know what they say. "You can lead a horse to the altar..."

beautiful job

that is striking, Dave. Punctuation is important

A nice cutting of a nice pattern Rodney. I was thinking how I liked the top one better, but after reading that you finished both with gloss, the shine must just be a result of the light. A big well done to the cutter and pattern maker.

I love this one, it certainly stands out. Amazing........ Marg

Other day had a customer that ordered a truck clock that I have then proceeded to tell me to make it a 1970 Chevy instead of the 1978 one they ordered, LOL... hate when customers place their order and then tell you to modify it.. Like shouldn't the custom request be done before ordering.. I'm thinking about ordering a brand new 2022 Chevy 4x4 truck but then message them after paying for it and tell them to make it a 1965 truck if it works like that.. Anyway, we worked things out.. and she sent me pictures of the truck she wanted a clock made of.. and here is what I came up with.. I'm not sure what I'm missing but I feel like some detail is missing on this somewhere.. resembles a 1970 truck but just didn't turn out ( to me) great.. just okay.. LOL Cut from Cherry using Pegas MG #3 Anyway, pick it apart.. tell me what I should have done to make it better.. BTW.. this is just dipped in Danish oil.. waiting a few days before spraying a topcoat on.. Okay, so.. I forgot I just did this custom order too.. just seen the pictures ( last 3 photos ) on my computer when opening the file for the 1970 truck.. the other set of pictures is of a 1986 truck order that I just mailed out 3 days ago.. and forgot already that I did that one too.. Old Age? LOL

She has the face of a great scroller on the first pic - look at that Concentration The second pic pic says it all - Very lucky and talented girl - hope she keeps it up

Hi Dave: All of the above Fab4

So cute. Great paint job.

My wife has been after me for years to make her one of those things. One day I will have to make her one. Awesome job

Hey Erv, Something like this?????

Beautiful work Dave. Like Ralph, I would love to get lessons from you!

Just do a search for one. I am sure you will get lots of hits!

I guess keeping ones self busy for a while! The one thing that both my wife and I haven't seen as of yet is a gnome with a Christmas tree in hand ready to set it up! Of course it is still awhile before the season but just thinking ahead! Erv

easy Dick, Rust brown with a little silver, but make sure you add, an annoying squeak.

It had nothing to do with how I painted it so I just grabbed a couple of spray cans and let it happen. I agree with you Marg and usually I do us the darker color on my backer board. Dick heppnerguy

You have taken these into another category. They look good. Well done.

I know and I believe that as well. However it was only to race myself and to see it the free wood I got was worth using in future project. I had no interest in keeping it before I started it so it was all for fun and timing Dick heppnerguy

My new 3D multilaer pattern, consists of 4 layers 1/8 inch, size 7,5 x x7,5 inches. It was my last project before I left Ukraine, I processed video earlier, but I uploaded video only now to keep my Youtube channel active. Images are 3D visualisation (not photos), video is original.

I'm surprised at the time ? Looks like a keeper to me!!!

Looks to me, it came out very well.. No surprise with your cutting abilities!

A nice distraction Dick. You have inadvertently proven two truisms, that are my Dad's favourites. "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing Well" and "Less haste, less waste"
