A custom project finished yesterday. I had design help from Don in Brooklin On. The overlay is 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and backed with 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood stained black. It is 4" x 16". Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using Pegas #1R MGT blades. The finish is two coats Minwax spray Lacquer Clear Satin with sanding between coats. Comments welcome.

Jack Nicholson as Randle Patrick "Mac" McMurphy in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. 1/2" Red Oak. About 7" X 9"

I had a piece of 9" x 5 3/8" x 1" walnut sitting in my scrap box just screaming for the right pattern. I decided I wanted to use it so I searched Steve Good's pattern library and stumbled across the Treble Clef pattern. It fit the scrap piece almost perfectly. It was an easy cut and finished with lacquer over a shellac sanding sealer - literally an afternoon start to finish. My wife loved it and it now sits on her piano. Now when my wife hints about my overflowing scrap box I point out that it made that item possible. Ahhh - domestic tranquility! Thanks Steve!

Here is a couple I forgot.........

Here are a few projects using the adding color to scrolling process..................NO painting.........and Pigs really can fly !

I've always been interested to see hummingbird. For me it is exotic bird, which I have never seen even in zoo. Is there a hummingbird in your country and can you see it in nature? And here is my latest - 7,5 x 9 inches, 4 layers. Hummingbird pattern

Only thing I have on that is, there was really good reviews on that vac a couple years ago when I was researching.. I never did buy anything other than my small Seyco scroll saw dust vac. It does pretty good job but will need a T to get dust from the top side of the table. I wonder how well the cyclone thing with my kit is compared to a actual brand name dust deputy.. My little vac filter gets coated with some fine dust after a days cutting and the vac starts getting louder. If I take the filter / bag out and take it outside and blow the dust out it'll quiet down for the next day. So basically it's pretty quiet so long as you keep the filter / bag cleaned out.

I have two Delta 40 694's Both work very well. Just do a yearly maintenance. Both are over 20 years old and I am very happy with how they work

Seen this on FB.. I'll add photo for those without FB if they cannot access the link. https://www.facebook.com/TheFamilyHandyman/photos/a.90657113889/10160088695373890/ This in on Family Handyman FB page so it might be on their website too I don't know.. anyway I'd have never thought about it for a miter saw I guess.. I did similar 5 years ago with my K40 C02 Laser. I had just replaced my grille because the bottom rotted out on the old one. Took a piece of left over OSB I had laying around and made a table top from it. The laser is water cooled and I use a 5 gallon bucket for the water and that fits nicely where the LP tank would go, LOL.. so the laser is self contained and on wheels for easy moving around,

Sorry, I don't do spooky, but I did this one back in 2014.

I made this for my son Christmas 2016. I am now making 3 "new and improved" versions for his three children.

These are cuttings (and one wood-burn box) I have done over the past 10 years.

Hummm, don't pay much attention to Halloween since the kids grew up and left home, Where we live we do not get trick or treat-ers. So it is just another night. The only thing I have ever done halloween-ish is this pen. I can show it because the bats were cut with a scroll saw. The scariest part is my shop friend Zelda, checking it out.

A few of our items:

Mr. Bones also made for my grandson.

A large batch of Halloween items in progress.

I made thes for my grandson a few years ago .

Handmade Wooden Halloween Ghost Cutouts - Set of 6 Silly Spooks 724117934 36s Shotcut.mp4

Most recent "scary" cut was H.Botas' pirate skull. It just checked all the right boxes for me, and was a fun cut. The pirate owl (cuz why not?) and wolf were fun as well, and the six cuts are my standard Halloween decorations at work (pirate skull has been added to that group now as well). Not sure if there's any defining "requirements" as to why I cut what I cut. Its just gotta hit me the right way in whatever emotion it evokes.

Here are some Steve Good patterns that I had cut.

Festool vac is pretty quiet Ray but I do most of my saw and router cutting in the garage and It's dedicated to the track saw/ router. I don't want to be carrying it in and out all the time. I do have a dust collector out there for the table saw and planer but it's useless for the small tools. At $165 bucks it's not expensive for the convenience of having it dedicated to the scroll saw room in the house.

OK, I just may be getting a bit carried away making another Cartoon Character. The Cartoon characters of my (way back when) generation that I grew up on are easily found free on-line, easily converted to scrollable patterns and after cutting, easily colored with Artist Acrylic Paints to their original simple basic colors. Yes, I understand that Copyrights and Trademarks apply to the Images so selling these pieces may not be the best Idea. However, they are fun to make and bring back a lot of fond (ahem?) memories. This Woody pattern is cut in 5/32” x 11” x17” Birch Solid Core Ply and affixed to a painted black 1/4” BB Ply backer. Cutting was done with a Pegas #1 MGT R blade. The assembled and painted panel was protected with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer. The frame is 1 3/4” wide Pine, primed and painted Glidden Gloss Black. I prefer Polar for my frames but even the Prime Grade Pine I’m using is a lot less expensive then Poplar is. I’m currently working on a non-cartoon project, but I have a bunch of cartoon images in my files that I can convert and cut over time. Comments and Critiques always welcome.

Wonderful cutting, fantastic colors and nicely framed too.

Wonderful cutting.

A wonderful project. Walnut was perfect for that one.

Thanks Rodney and yes, they were. Already picked up.

Welcome to The Village, Matt. I've only been scrolling for about a year and a half and have learned a lot from the members of this forum. Please post some of your work so we can enjoy your efforts. You'll find that we are family here and you'll receive a lot of praise as well as very constructive criticism.

Welcome to the village!

Brilliant ! It's no wonder your good lady wanted to keep it x

Welcome from this side of the ocean. You'll enjoy the village, the people are amazingly helpful and friendly.

As some might know I got another saw today and I can't believe the difference between them. I've no experience with any other saw but the hawk I've been using, and up untill now I've been real pleased with it. Fast forward and I pick up a piece of scrap draw a wiggley line like a jigsaw puzzle peice and wizz round it twice as fast as I do on the hawk and stay on the line with ease. Everything seemed so much easier. Are the double parallel link arm saws that much easier to use or is it just me.... I kinda feel cheated right now LMAO When I get the time to sit down with it and cut something worthwhile this may be my main saw if it continues to cut like that.

It looks fabulous. Great job. Marg

Brilliant....Great job on the pattern and cutting. Marg

Thanks ...I originally bought it as a second saw as I have a hawk, but after doing a test cut on it I found it so much easier to follow the line and just move my hands around .... I've been busy today but tomorrow I'm hoping to make a stand for it and give it a real test run to see if it wasn't just a fluke ..

Thanks for the heads up Charlie E!

This is a Sue Mey pattern modified with an Air Traffic Control Badge. A custom order and Wayne Mahler designed the overlay. Thanks Wayne. The wood used is 1/2" Ash for the Dream Catcher, Red Oak for the overlay and 1 4" Walnut and Hard Maple for the feathers. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #3R MGT blades for everything except the feathers. For those I used Pegas #0 Spiral blades. I sell the Pegas blades at: artcraftersonline.com

Here is mine: There are many other patterns in this style here: Copy and paste the link below Thanks for looking https://rampwalkertoys.sellfy.store/ You will also find a few in the Scrollsaw Woodworking & Craft magazine issues #82 and #85 and more in the newest issue #89. Our very own @Rolf ROLF B. did the cutting for the magazine - well done I may add Fab4 VIDEO-2021-11-08-10-12-57 bat.mp4

It's used but like new ...Delta 40 694

Thanks guy's I found some info as well and found it grows and milled in Australia and NZ, never new that And back in the 70's I was working in wood mills go figure... ...Merlin...

Outstanding Work! Love Crosses!

Beautiful work. Well done. Marg

Hi, everyone, I have not posted anything in a while due to health issues. Did this pattern of a raccoon cut with a #3R Pegas blade, cut out of 1/4"bb with a pine backer painted black. Frame is red oak stained with true brown and 2 coats of clear paint.

You have gone through a few blades and quite a bit of time with all that cutting of so many letters. Great job they all look great. Dick heppnerguy

All three are great. Nice work!

A nice collection. I do like the ornaments. There is nothing like having a quality glass when scrolling. I used one even before I had glasses. I have a 200mm, glass (Not plastic) lens and it uses circular fluro tubes.

Cute ornaments, LOVE the wolf!!! Very nice cutting!! Even being nearsighted, I've found a magnifying lamp works wonders for helping with cuts.

Hi Bob, doing ok for an old lady (lol). Still got a ornament to do for the kitty. Hard to see but the ornaments are done on cedar. Loved the color of the wood.

These were made a few years ago but go up every year

I've already posted these, but they all were sent to various people as presents. I made two of each so every one who received them didn't complain so all is well!
