Just finished cutting this. Pattern by me.

Getting excited! this is our "Long Island Woodworkers" first show since the Pandemic started. It is also the first time at this venue. All aspects of woodworking will be represented and demonstrated within reason. The scrollers will have saws setup, the turners a couple of lathes with on going demonstrations. I made the Koala's in the middle of the flyer back in 2009. I am really looking forward to seeing what our members have created in the last three years.

Ok, I had posted in a few replies on other threads that I was learning to hand carve and had taken a one day turning class. Since a few of my carvings were initially cut out on my scroll saw, I figured I would share them here. If anyone is a carver, please let me know. One of my goals in learning to hand carve, was to use it to enhance my scrollsaw projects, in particular, my Intarsia work. I am enjoying carving and turning. I have hand carved 6 pieces now I think. One of them is still a work in progress so not shown. It is based on a JGR Intarsia pattern so I will have to share it later once it is done (The carving part is done, but it has framing I’m trying to work out how I want to do.) They are all cut and carved from basswood. The photos appear in the reverse order from what I carved them meaning Mickey carrying balllons was the last one (6th) which I just completed yesterday and then go back to the larger flower which was the very first attempt. Mickey is also the only one I created my own pattern for from a card I had and did it all on my own with no directions or advise on how. The rest of the pieces are patterns from video tutorials and patterns provided by Mary May. If interested in learning to carve, I have found her tutorials to be great. Mickey, the jack-o-lantern and the butterfly on a flower were all first cut out as flat pieces on my scroll saw then carved. Thus why I feel comfortable sharing here. The two smaller flowers, technically I used my saw on as it was one board I cut in half. The largest flower, done on the round natural board was not on the saw but I threw it in since it was my first attempt. I added some wood burning to the first flower I did and then did wood burning on the butterfly and flower. Mickey and the Jack-o-lantern do not yet have a finish on them. I am probably going to attempt to add color to them once I get a little braver to try that(and find some time.)

Completed this for my wife, only a week late for our anniversary. I did get her flowers and chocies on the day For her desk at school if anything could go wrong with this it did, even to the point of the cat getting in on the photos Radiata Pine and Jarrah E and heart inlaid.

I purchased a packet of Road Runner SVG files on-line, although I was only looking for this one image to pair with my “Wile E Coyote Help” piece. The SVG’s have many layers and after considerable trial and error attempts, I was able to segregate all the color layers leaving only the Black outline that I was able to convert into a scrollable red/gray pattern by adding a bunch of bridges. I sized the pattern to fit nicely on a 5/32” x 11” x 14” solid core Maple Ply panel. The cut panel was affixed to an 1/4” x 11” x 14” BB Ply backer that had been painted with Krylon rattle can spray Gloss Black. After relatively easy cutting with Pegas #1 MGT R blades, the remaining interior areas was painted with Artist Acrylic Paints. I painted each visible bridge Black, so it has the appearance of the outlines being continuous. And, like usual, the assembled panel was protected by multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. The Frame is 1 3/4” wide pine painted Glidden Gloss Black. I think I will need to give the frame another coat of paint as the Pine wood grain is too visible in the photo. Comments and Critiques are always welcome.

The wine door hanger is from Steve Good and the tractor is from Alex Fox, did not have too much time in the shop because weather is nice for golf.

Bob and of course a “Happy Little Tree.” I used an image I found on Pinterest. I added the tree and changed the font. I connected the face to his hand but it took away from it so I let his face be a floater. I’m convinced watching him paint would lower your blood pressure.

A couple years ago I made banks for our grandchildren. I used the rubber plugs in the bottom. I got them from Paul Meisel and were nice to use.

A Most Excellent job!! I am sure she Loved it. Looks like you have the cats approval

I can see why you're called Amazingkevin, that work is amazing.

Hey everyone! In this scroll saw project video I cut out a spooky Haunted House designed by Steve Good to kick off the Halloween 2022 Season! This spooky piece would look great sitting in a window sill with a backlight behind it! Hope you all like the video! #ArtisanPirate

Just think, she will think of you every time she blows her nose!! Very nice box. Well done.

Beautiful, it will be treasured I'm sure.

Fantastic paint job, Kevin.

Great job, Kevin.. but pace yourself, take care of yourself. You do not want to end up back in the hospital...

This Nite Light has been my go to gift for new mothers for 3 generations now. Started making them when our peers were having babies, then those kids started having babies, and now the babies are having babies! The Nite Lite is designed with a fretwork panel that slides in front of the light and screens the light from the inside. A hidden chamber in the back can store additional panels.

Today I finished painting this.acrylic paints from the 5 below store. 3/4" plywood 10.75" long

I recently received requests for 2 of my Teaching Banks. In the past I’ve made the "plugs" to remove the coins out of layered BB. I’m considering using either a rubber or plastic plug this time. Have any of you used one or the other and have a preference?

That is a great looking road runner will look great on a wall.

Excellent job! If you lived near a beach you could set up a store and sell those made to order.

Hey Dan, nice job on the Bank truck, I really like the way youpersonalized it. Until recently, I have made one for each new member of the family and I would like to continue that tradition, since each of my nieces & nephews would like to have one for their new arrivals. I can no longer find the post office mail doors and was wondering if you can still ordr them, would you please share your source. Thanks Rick

Hope you have time to take lots of pictures and share!

Great to hear. Wish I was closer to be able to attend. Hope all goes well. Take lots of pics.

Wow! Beautiful work.

Nice work. I like Alex Fox patterns.

Came out great!

very nice

They look great...puts mine to shame!

Amazing painting!

I love tractors and this one is top shelf!!!

That is very impressive, Kevin. Well done!! Bruce

The cutting is great and the finish is your usual excellent, smooth, high gloss.

Very nice!

Excellent job on the box, very nice inlay too

Got the pattern from Don in Brooklin, so far I have only 2 done, will do all Canadian teams except the Maple Leafs, that will be special order only at the ice the price.

Trust a cat to bugger it up. Love the box, you did an awesome job. Now wait for the order to come in from the rest of the staff. Marg

You do those so well, bet you could do them in your sleep. Love it. Marg

great job

fantastic job

Very nice!

Still trying hard to put smiles on people's face,which is working but I need some quality time myself. And to top it all off I,m forgetting to take pictures of my endeavors.

You're the man, try and take it a bit easier please. You can do too much and over exert yourself, we don't want you back in hospital.

You are getting to be quite the painter.

Amazing job with the paint. You just keep rocking on young man!

Made for my nephew many moons ago.

I use this stand for my Kindle tablet every day. Made it last year. Tom

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.

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.

They are really beautiful. Marg
