continued with the light box theme, didn't come out quite like i thought it would. pattern is from here, a H botas. there'll probably be many more light box themed stuff in the pipeline, my local garden centre was selling solar and battery lights by the box load very cheaply, so stocked up.

This is a JGR pattern. I got the inspiration for the Blue background from another villager. I went looking for they're name. But can't locate it, so if anybody knows who, please let us know. Anyhow I mounted to a basswood blank (kinda appropriate I thought) and I started this a while ago so as far as I can remember the woods are Butternut, Aspen,Blue Pine and cedar(lure). Chris

I think this fits the Theme. Made for my Lady's young Grandson, who loves Dragons, so he can learn to tell time that is not digital and learn a little Chineese at the same time. Edit 9/4/22: Just remembered my Cube style Tissue box covers...very functional projects.

Danny posted his cutting of “Elvis” on August 9,2022. He gave credit to Grandpa, but reading on, it seems this pattern may have been by someone else or maybe by more than one. I found the original negative image, before being converted to a scroll saw pattern, on-line with no name associated with it. I like Danny’s cutting and this version of Elvis, and I had need to make an “Elvis” as a gift. A local Dinner we frequent has their walls covered with Elvis and Marilyn pics and posters. I plan to give them this Elvis and a Marilyn I made a while ago. No strings attached. So here is my version of “Elvis” that is cut from 5/32” x 11” x 14” solid core Maple Ply affixed to a 1/4”BB Ply painted black backer, finished with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. The assembled panel is mounted loose in a 1 3/4” wide Pine Frame stained with Minwax Mahogany and finished with Clear Gloss Polyurethane. The EP is a copy of how he signed some of his photos. Another, totally different project that I completed nearly at the same time as “Elvis” is a cartoon image, again that I found on-line, of “Wile E Coyote” displaying a HELP sign. This project adds to my other cartoon characters like the Pink Panther and Cockerel that I made a while back. I guess I need to find a decent image of the Road Runner to add to the collection. The cut panel is a hand painted 5/32” x 11” x17” solid Core Maple Ply that is affixed to a Hand Painted 1/4” thk BB Ply backer. And as usual, the assembled panel is protected with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. The assembled panel is mounted loose in a 1 3/4” wide Pine Frame that was simply primed and painted with Glidden Gloss Black. Comments and critiques are always welcome.

I like items with a purpose and compound cutting, so years ago (actually January 2017), I made a compound cut Air Plant Holder. This is a Sue Mey pattern. The second picture is from the customer that purchased to item. What a fun category.

So many projects to choose from! Here are a few. The hair pick is used every day as are the phone/tablet/ereader stands. The salad "fingers" and pasta measurer are in regular use. The sun/moon light was made for my grandson 4 years ago & is still used.

I don't have a lot of pictures of stuff I've made. I managed to find these of a couple things I made several years ago. Not a lot of scrolling in this piece, just the ornamental symbols on the front and the lid. This is a faith chest. I make these for our church to present to the family when a baby is baptized.

Spent a bit of time in the shop, too much rain for golf. Made a charcuterie board with a river run of epoxy also some Christmas plaques and leaves. Some assembly require for Alex Fox bowls.

I had some fun with this. They are fun to cut! All cut from 3/4” poplar.

I like functional projects.. I have posted these earlier this year. This first picture shows me using it. Everytime I leave the house I put one of these on.

I hesitate to post these pics because most of you have already seen them. But here goes. The nut basket, votive holder and center piece are all derived from patterns by John Nelson. The 3 candle holders are from a pattern by an unknown designer. I took the original and made 3 sizes out of it. The last one is a bowl from Sue Mey.

That's the same thing I told the wife about The Outlaw Josey Wales.

So this lady at the Farmer's Market asks if I could make her a sign for her. She wanted Welcome with a fish underneath of it. So I did some old school manual (scissors and tape) and merged two of Steve Good's patterns together and emailed her a copy. She liked it, so this morning I got a good refresher in cutting 1/8" Baltic Birch and small cuts. Went slow and am happy with the results. Now to turn it over to the painter (my wife) for her to finish.

Here is my latest herd of "Fred's". Steve Good pattern that I reduced to 50%. 1/4" BBply. The base is an old cut off from a Christmas tree. Finish is a new product I tried. Not sure I really liked it. Turned out to be a little more "glossy" than I normally would use, but I guess we'll see at my November craft sale. Probably need a bit more practice with it.

names martin, been following you guys for a while now, and this must be just about the nicest forum i've ever been on. i've been scrolling, and burning and other crafty stuff for about six years now. all began when i got seriously ill and needed stuff to do to stop me going nuts. a few pictures of stuff i've done, recording work is something i'm not good at. most of my work is given away, much to my lasses distress. some of the patterns are from here, some jim blume, some steve good, others i forget, i'm an avid collector of images/patterns that hopefully i'll get around to doing. for my brothers wedding anniversaryon the mother in laws wallfor my lasses uncle, it's burnt on to a cheese boardanother burning of a friends dog

Forgot Who showed us his Bee's, but from the First Look I knew I just had to spend some time cutting, painting and adding the Fancy Eyes. Like the way these came out and thinking seriously of getting More Patterns of Bee's. Google Image .... Look Out.... Anyway here is a Pic. Danny :+}

Cool! I made several of them a few years ago.

Looks a good book Judy, Just might get it myself!, I like the style of the figures, Bob

I finally got the rest of the much earlier stuff finished. Eye is from Botas cut in Curly Maple finished with an Osmo product. It is really nice, one coat and it feels so smooth. You/me is a Jessica Boehm pattern cut in Cherry. Also finished with Osmo.

I haven't a clue Charlie, Some times I am hog-tied (by the war office) and forced to watch Romantic comedies, but I tend to nod off.

Thanks Dick. TBH I thought the fish one was beyond me but as you said break it down and do it step by step. I'm glad I tried to cut it as I learned a lot. I was having problems cutting 90° inside corners, but when I changed my hand positions it all seemed to click and it started to flow. Feed speed let the blade do the cutting. I appreciate all of your comments a lot are very helpful as well as encouraging, I came to the right place to learn !

I would second the suggestions. I used a 3-5 blade slow down and one other thing years ago it was suggested to me to try Duck tape instead of packing tape. Changed my cutting without Melting together.

Well, since nobody has named the movie, I will……. The Princess Bride. The quote is “Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!”.

I've been away from my saw for over a year. This is my new shop. Still have much more stuff to move in. Can't wait to get cutting again 20220828_153515.mp4

a few more, done these the last or so, they are going to a raffle in support of a local autism charity. a steve good pattern another steve good pattern and my first attempt at compound cutting forget where i got this from

Hi All. Someone sent me an email the other day asking if my Ornament Business Kits ever go on sale because they wanted some of the older ones. Each year I publish the new business kit on November 1st and put it on sale for 50% off through Cyber Monday. Then it goes to the normal price of $20. Some folks want it earlier so they can get a jump on the Holidays, but it usually doesn't work out too well when I do it that way. So it got me thinking that maybe I can put the previous years up for sale in the middle of the year. The whole "Christmas In July" thing has come and gone (I'm a bit slow on the uptake), so I thought I'd offer it up now. So, all of the Custom Ornament Business Kits in the eBooks section is 30% OFF through September 30th! Note: These ornament business kits are meant for folks who have a working knowledge of Inkscape. You don't have to be an advanced user, but you should have the basics down. If you'd like to learn more about Inkscape, you can find my free online course here. Enjoy!

I've not used a spiral very much at all but opening the existing cut up using the spiral blade was where I was going. Also I found buy gently rubbing along the line you can tidy up if you didn't quite get on the line. I think I'll have a busy weekend and beginning of the week but I hope to try out the pegas blades soon.

I've not tried this, but I think it would help get to a good start for a pattern. Lay the piece on a copy machine and photo copy it. Like i said, it should work as a crude start.

Frank, first off both cuttings are great excellent work. I've seen to be drawn to these cartoon characters I really like the look. Being a newbie at this I had to really zoom in to see how you achieved this look. Thanks for posting these I'm going to have to order some good ply and give one a go, knowing it won't look anywhere as good as yours

Thanks Dick for the very kind words. Here is the link for the Osmo https://osmo.ca/. Hope you can find it there. Barb

I think I had actually purchased that board in Toronto about 5 years ago, when I was visiting my sister. There is a great shop - Woodchuckers - that I go visit when in TO. They have a small room with assorted boards. They will mail it to me in Winnipeg via Canada Post so the shipping cost isn't outrageous.

This movie is The Princess Bride. Not at all your typical romantic comedy. Lots of people, including me, love it but it's very wacky and different. You may or may not like it, but I doubt you'd nod off.

Beautiful work. I love the eye. Marg

Love them. A herd of Fred's, love it. Marg

That is terrific. I am like you I like scissors and tape, I also like black marker pens and white out. Marg

Thank you both very much. Marg

The flag got a coat of paint today (I found some craft acrylic paints in a box of my daughters stuff) oh and I cut the backer board too. I'm no artist so....

I absolutely love both of these, great work!

One question for you. What is the thickness of the wood you are using to cut the fish and what blade and blade size did you use? Dick heppnerguy

I am quite impressed with your quick improvements in your cutting. It appears you are able to stay on your cutting lines quite well. Once you feel you are really happy with your cutting, then is the time to step to a pattern that you would like to cut but maybe have been a little afraid and feeling it is too difficult. Perhaps then you might give that scary one a try. Remember though, it is a good idea to slow down even more as you feel out the new pattern cutting process. You should have little trouble as you progress as long as you do it in steps, so to speak Dick heppnerguy

Well for good or bad one bought the 3/4 lockline, PVC pipe and fittings so I'm going with Rolf's system. Now I just have to find the time to install Ii

Hi Juan. Your Pegas Scroll Saw is under warrantee. I will check with Pegas as to the solution and let you know.

Thanks for the link. It looks somewhat different than the dead tree version I have. I'll compare the two later, the computer and shop are on different floors. Feeling a bit lazy right now. The problem is I seem to be short a pattern for one of the rings? Thanks again!

I was having problem with Inkscape and printing 11 x 17 ( I'm not alone ). The pattern for these is about 2/3 the original, and since I hate waste I'm using the pattern that I have. I had some 1/8 inch wood, so that's what I'm using. I don't know the species; blade FD Polar 2/0, pilot holes #71 drill bit ( .025 ), quarter for sca

Henry "Hank" Aaron. Played most of his career with the Atlanta Braves. 755 career homeruns. He broke Babe Ruth's record of 714 in 1974. I was 13 at the time and remember friends explaining why Babe's record was better, which they probably heard from their dad. At the time I just figured I didn't know enough about baseball to understand. Pretty sure it had a lot more to do with color than baseball. Proud I got to see him play.

Thanks Frank. The lady said it was going to be placed on a bedroom room, a guest room as I understand it. I have a 1/8" backer for it the same outline as the pattern. Colors are light blue for background and yellow for the sign itself. It was an interesting difference going from cutting mostly 1/2" & 3/4" patterns to a single piece of 1/8"baltic birch. Much slower speed for that piece.

Hello, this hanging cat is one of my first project from Steve Good's pattern catalog.

Here is a Steve Good pattern I cut a couple last year for a Halloween decoration. I thought it was a fun piece Dick heppnerguy

Just finished this one and posted under Bragging Rights. I think it fits the theme real well.
