When I saw Steve post his tint gnomes I knew I had to add to my collection. PS: That is a Canadian quarter in front.

I made this many years ago. The pattern was from Scrolleronline (I think). It was damaged a few years ago and I hope to make another one this fall/winter.

My niece’s wedding was yesterday…..here’s the signed guest book I made for her & husband

Been playing around with more mags and ornaments. Doing Some experimenting with these so some will probably end up in the box of shame and some will make the tree ( if my wife allows)

Has anybody heard from Sam? I have tried to message him a few times to see if he was OK, no answer The last message I can see on his facebook page is August 2020. He has some beautiful and patterns

I'm probably not allowed to swear here..so I won't, but that is gorgeous!!! Great work !!!

Well I did once but it wasn't much scrolling.. I built a morris chair. The wide panels in the sides the chair and foot stool were blank.. I added the sail boat on the chair and the light house on footstool... That was back when I had my first scroll saw.. A Craftsman, that I had to get down on my knees to mount the blade in the bottom clamp, so it was back when I did very little scrolling..

Hi Don: Well done, one thing about these 2 is that you don't use much paint I have one of those quarters....LOL Fab4

This makes 4 Johnny portraits on my wall, but the way I see it, a man can never have too much Cash. I cut it in 1/4” red oak with a black stained oak backer. It is about 7 1/2” by 8 1/2” which was a mistake. I like the size of it but the pattern I made would be much better suited for a larger portrait. I had to leave out a lot of detail. Let me know if you’d like a copy of the pattern.

I'm going to assume that there are members that do other types of woodwork such as furniture building. Do any of you combine your skills and build scrollsaw designs into aprons, table tops and panels. I'm definitely going to try this when I've developed my skills enough to do passable work.

A few days ago we lost a Fantastic and Beautiful singer. This is my Tribute to her. Sorry I put this in the wrong place. I will correct that.

I have many shadowbox animal patterns, I recived many requests of making such pattern with eagle, and here it is Eagle pattern

We are, indeed, our own worst critics and that keeps us striving for perfection. It is that instinct that produces the greatest compliment: "Sooooo, where did you get your CNC router?"

Another fun image I found and just had to convert to a scroll saw 11”x14” pattern. Although the image was a simple B&W line image, my brain said ‘color’. However, it turned out to be a lot harder to make it a color project then I expected. It sat around my painting area for over three weeks before I finally decided on how I thought I wanted it to look. I first tried to color just the backer, but it just did not read well. So, I wound up hand painting both the backer and cut panel with Artist Acrylics. I'm not sure I did it justice, but my Lady thinks it came out good, so I'm happy. The Cut panel is 5/32” solid Core Maple affixed to a 1/4” BB Ply Backer. Most of cutting was done with Pegas #1 MGT R blades while a few of the small areas was done with #2/0 MGT R blades. After painting and assembly, the panel was protected with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. The frame is 1 3/4” wide Poplar finished with Rust-OLeum Black Lacquer. Comments and critique always welcome.

Well I put my parts on my saw this morning and decided to try it out. I wanted to try something simple as this was my first time using a scroll saw. Knocked up this pattern in inkspace with a font I liked taped it up and went at it! Next time I'll make the outline in grey and thinner as the blade was hard to see in the black. I mostly kept to the line (but they are only a suggestion right) but the s has a few flatspots on it ( I'm presuming I'm turning without feeding?) Kind of embarrassing after seeing what you guys turn out but realize we all have to start somewhere. Thanks for all the positive input on my posts so far ( I know the new guy can be anoying ) and any constructive criticism is appreciated if it's going to improve my work, it needs it Thanks for looking !

9 Tissue Boxes done and dusted Radiata Pine and Jarrah 3 coats of 30% gloss lacquer with the exception of the Right hand rose, 3 coats of full gloss. I used glitter on the felt behind the church, looks like a starry night. Click on the pic to enlarge. Thanks for looking Now to sell them

Beautiful work Dan. I would love to be able to do that.

Yes that's the sort of thing I mean ! Well done

interesting. it look like the back has 3 pieces. but only trees on ends are narrow. That puts the main center piece really long. I can think of 2 possible ways to do this 1) spiral blades is used OR 2) jig saw. Did you have another way? Me. Mark Eason

Seems like there was a discussion about him on one of the FB pages and something was mentioned about him being busy with something personal or? but I don't follow along too much with any of the FB pages so I could be wrong on that. He has some awesome patterns that I have saved to cut one day, LOL.. My issue is cutting portrait style patterns.. love cutting them, just they don't sell all that well for me..

Very nicely done Don nice job on the painting and thats not my thing to time consuming

Hard not to like the gnomes... Great job!

great job

Love these boxes brilliant work. Roly

A couple of real cuties Don.

Beautiful piece, Alex. The 3D layers really makes this stand out!

Beautiful. That is a real eye catcher. Well done!

Very well done. Steve should be proud of what you have done with his patterns.

John, those are beautiful. I am in awe of your work.

Looking great!

Great job. I have been a Johny Cash fan for a long time.

nothing there deserves to be in the box of shame, there all beautiful

Hi Charlie: Well done, would love to get a copy of JC I need Cash too.............lol Thank you Fab4

Any you don't want send them to me I would love them. They are all fabulous. Marg

Finally got some shop time and finished this Frank EV pattern. Cut from Baltic Birch-flat black spray with grey/blue paint under bird. Backer is 1/8 BB. Frame in 3/4 poplar stained with Behr natural stain.

You are to be commended for doing all that fine sanding on such little pieces. Great craftmanship!

Well done, any of them could go on my tree!

Two more Gnomes done

SCROLL SAWING MAKES ME SMILE................................. Makes people wonder what you have been up to......

I'm 60 this year, as long as I can remember I've always butchered wood in some form, from rough carpentery to fine furniture. A few years ago I started having pain in my ankle and eventually was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, eventually I lost the leg below the knee. I've recovered ( Cancer free now) and have a bionic leg walking is fine but standing still is still a little tiring and painful after a while. Thus my wood butchering has suffered, I've wanted to give scrolling a try for a few years now and now seems the perfect time to start. If you've read my introduction post you will already know that I picked up a half decent saw (which needed a few parts that I received today) And a comfy chair , most important I'm looking forward to my new adventure and sharing it with you fine people, more like bugging you with stupid questions any tips and tricks for a new guy appreciated

Welcome aboard. Scrolling can become addictive so be carful. There are lots of patterns right here in the village.. Check out the pattern library.

looking forward to seeing some of your work

I too would like to wish you continuing good health. Feel free to ask any question here in the village. These good people are the reason I continue scrolling. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they share their collective knowledge freely. I went from simple silhouettes to complex fretwork with the help given on this site. As @Dak0ta52says,, Steve Good is a good place to start, or put 'silhouette' after the name of what you fancy cutting ie. ( witch silhouette) into your search engine. Enjoy !!

I've done my homework..lots of websites and you tube videos Amazon was my friend and supplied me with 5 dozen reverse tooth assorted sizes, same for spiral and skiptooth, I went for flying Dutchman... Oh I got a few modified geometry too. I'll try them out see what size and style suit me best .... Believe me my questions will be randomly stupid for example..... I've seen lots of people cutting ply as opposed to solid wood, why ?

This has been an off and on project for a while. Can't get anything but poplar in square stock locally, so I gave a few of these a baptism in various stains I had on hand. The birds are not meant to be copies of actual species, but rather inspirations. Some are just because I like the color. I just paint them as a way to pass time and keep my eyes and hands busy. Patterns from the talented Diana Thompson, who I hope might occasionally look at scrollsaw sites even though she has closed up shop.

These are a couple of more horse patterns I converted in to a Scroll Saw pattern from images I found on-line. I needed these to fill out my Horse Theme. Both are 1/8” BB ply positive cuttings, hand painted and affixed to a hand painted 1/4” BB Ply Backers. Both Cut with Pegas #1 MGT R blades. And, as usual, the assembled panels were protected with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. And with keeping of the theme, the Frames are 1 ¾” wide distress Poplar stained with Minwax Early American and finished with multiple coats of Spray Satin Poly. High Stepping 11” x 12” Horse and Horseshoe 11” x 11” Comments and critique always welcome.

Neat work. Roly

Beautiful Frank. They would grace any wall.

WOW! really nice Frank! Wish I had your eye for coloring things..

Nice job Iggy, i never knew there was that many breeds, RJ
