Alright @Travis you were the inspiration for a Saturday spent in the garage - I'm far better at following directions than I am coming up with new ideas There was originally a Minion face, but it fell off the workbench and broke. There's so much orange stain left over.

This is my latest cutting, it’s from one of my own stock photos which Russ Beard so generously made a pattern for. It took me between 60-70 hours due to load shedding in our corrupt country. It’s a first time for me try and introduce some colour to bring out the aggression, not good at it but I tried. The whole pattern was cut with a #0 blade, we don’t have a big selection of blades available to us we have to make with what we got. It will be framed and a back round added when I can find one in my stock photos. All this work is done on a modified Wen Scroll Saw.

I was asked a while back to make a snowmobile clock. The customer sent an image of basically a half circle with a snowmobile silhouette. While they did a nice job on the cutting and even design wasn’t too bad but I felt there was a lot of air space with nothing in it. So I designed this by combining a few different patterns to create one. Cut from Cherry using my Hawk saw with a #5 Pegas MFG blade. Finished with Danish oil, may put a top coat of poly on it in a few days as it’s currently drying ( dipped today ). I'm kind od torn on whether I should have cut the hill area on the right by his head off.. kind of blends into his head.

I'll start by saying this is extremely close to a pattern by Charles Dearing so I would never share or sell this pattern. I saw his pattern on Scroll Saw Association of the World on Facebook and liked it, so I found the original photo he worked from and made my own pattern. I've seen a post from Charles himself about pattern designers using the same source photo and that nobody should have a problem with that so I don't think he would mind. If you like it, as I said his pattern is very similar and is for sell on his site, Wooden Visions. I did some checking and Matt shot 158 men and 7 women. He was shot 56 times and lived. So probably best not to draw on him.

Cardinal Puzzle designed by Sarah Lyn Chamberlain, found in the new issue #89 of Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts. I used 1/2" Hard Maple and cut on the EX21 (at home) using FD UR #3 blade. Stained with Samam Stain and dipped in Shellac diluted with denatured alcohol. Sanding with a Mac Mop between coats. Fun to have artists in studio to add the twigs before shrink wrapping.

UPDATE: fixed the upload problem!!!! Here's a couple of pumpkin lanterns I made this weekend .

Hi All Finally got round to framing this at the weekend. Its been in my draw for ages.

My first finished project two months into my scroll saw journey, this is being given away to my MIL who has a liking for Giraffe's, and for once I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. It's been a busy week, I framed it last Friday and has been in clamps since then, and today was the first chance I got to finish it. Cut on 1/4" BB ply with 1/8 ply backer painted black. The frame is 3/4 reclaimed hard Maple also painted black. The frame and cutting were finished with 3 coats of lacquer. Thanks for looking and even more for the help and advice that have got me this far.

Never missed an episode of Gun Smoke. Matt Dillon was the slowest draw in the west We used to laugh at a line in one episode where he yelled "Stop or I'll shoot" and shot between the I'll and Shoot Miss Kitty must of been the most frustrated woman in America

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

Hi All I got asked to do another F1 Light for a mates girlfriends birthday. f1 Light video.mp4

I had to do a repair to the gel coat on my boat a few years ago. So I bought a couple of these detail spray guns. They were a bout 8$ with a coupon back then. I figured if the gel set before I could clean the gun I would just toss them. They worked surprisingly well and would great on a bigger project. https://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools-compressors/air-spray-guns/adjustable-detail-spray-gun-92126.html

He painted the car one panel at a time using automotive lacquer. You're going to love this: His air supply was a tire. I, too, have been trained as an auto painter and worked in body shops for a while until I got fed up with the crapy work they wanted me to do. This training and experience did very little to prepare me for painting with an airbrush. It's a skill you must learn either by someone teaching you or by trial and error, as I did. I spent considerable money, time, and effort just figuring out how to do what I needed. I haven't counted them, but I own ten or more airbrushes. I started by buying the lowest-cost airbrushes I could find and worked my way up until one day, I was gifted a Badger Anthem 155, which did exactly what I wanted. It will spray a lot of paint very fast and can do thin lines if I ever want to. There are several Badger airbrushes that use the same tip and needle combination. I have all of them. You can spray at least as large a pattern as a rattle can using an airbrush. You must use the proper tip size to do this. You can push a lot of paint through a 7mm tip and need a large paint cup.

I downloaded Steve Good's mantel clock. It was easy to cut. I had a poblem with the 1/4" BBPW. It was a 3 x 4' sheet and it looked good but once I started cutting the pieces, I saw there were voids in the layers. I figured I could fill them in on the edges. It sortof worked but was not happy with the result. The edge grain is what makes this an interesting project. I call the place where I bought the wood and they said they have been having quality problems since the wood comes from Russia. Offered to refund if I returned what I had not used but it is a 60 mile round trip and I would use it in another project. Has anyone else have this issue? To cover it up, I painted with Black lacquer and my wife had some gold leaf markers to cover the end grain.

Terry (hubby) loves Gun smoke. You did a top notch pattern once again Charlie and a terrific cutting. Marg

Maybe that’s why he got shot 56 times. I read that the lead poisoning alone should have killed him.

The Nutcracker is pretty easy, even tells you in what order to make the cuts for each piece. The hair was the toughest for me. Cutting it I felt there is no way it was going to come out right, but when through cutting, buried in piece of wood is some unruly hair.. It is a fun project.

I get a "low memory" error several times a day, but nothing due to the compurter!

Some Steve Good patterns I cut.

Hello, thanks to Steve Good for these patterns. Happy Halloween from France!

Here’s my collection. Some scroll saw related, some not.

I've posted these elsewhere but..,

Here is my version

I made Ham Shack plaques for 2 of my good friends as a gift for help they freely gave in times of need. I am working on another for myself. I used 1/2" Poplar finished with Zinser Shellac spray. I saw this posted here on the Village website. I think it was @Danwho had posted it. Thank you Dan, they were a big hit with both Monty and Mike.

Bruce (aka Blaughn) Posted back on 10/4 about his cutting of this S. Good Pattern. Well just like Bruce I happen to have a few pieces of ¾” Walnut amongst my scrap pieces that were the perfect size for the cutting and the base. Additionally, although I do not own a Piano or play an instrument, I just happen to have a need to make a piece for my collection of sculptures and this was a great choice. The sculpture is overall approximately 9 1/2” High x 6” wide. Bruce and I both deviated slightly from the original pattern in the area in the half circle just above the base. I also tapered the base about 4 degrees just to add a little more detail. And like Bruce, I finished mine with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Lacquer. Comments and Critiques always welcome.

I showed my wife Alex's pattern and wanted it right away. Got online and ordered. Not too complicated to cut but the wife wanted a backer. Then she decides she wants 2 more to gift to neighbors. They are all sad because the Hummies left last Tuesday. We'll have to wait until early April to see them again. I stacked cut and it went pretty fast.

Very well done!

Those turned out great! That's the nice thing about that project, you can use any jack-o-lantern pumpkin pattern.

Another great cutting. Really very nice!

A tire for air .. Yeah I got out of it partly because of the safety liability of the corrupt owner wanted the workers to perform on salvaged cars. Putting unsafe cars back on the road because the owner needed to scam people for more speed boats I guess, LOL.. Plus my passion was custom work. I did air brushing some doing multi color flame paint jobs for show cars since back then flames was a big thing, LOL. I found that the badger air brush I had didn't have the paint capacity I needed to do most of the bigger flame jobs I had and found that a small half pint devilbis touch-up gun worked better for what I was doing. They've probably improved the air brush since my days or I just never learned the ins and outs of the set I had. Also back before the internet days you relied on the tool sales guy to know what he's selling or by word of mouth.. now days you can look up reviews and see demos etc. online. My experience with them is limited as I just preferred the touch-up gun I had. The issue I had with staying in the business was finding enough customers that actually had the money to have a car done up that wasn't a insurance claim type work.. I was working with cash paying customers only because I wanted out of the liability of doing crappy repairs for the insurance using aftermarket panels that don't fit right etc.. They've since improved repop panels and parts but I have no desire to go back into it other than doing my own cars.

very nice job

very nice job, too bad about the plywood defects

When I first looked at it, I thought the same as you Kevin but after taking a closer look I don't think it's a problem. You did a great job of a mash up. Marg

Awesome. Well done. Marg

Thank you @OCtoolguy The little bird houses are from the Scrollsaw Workshop: Compound Cut Bird House and Stand The candle and ornaments are from Diana Thompson's book: Compound Christmas Ornaments for the Scroll Saw. It's got patterns of varying complexity and was money well spent.

There's an app called Find My Font. I haven't used it but it has a 4.9 rating.

I do see what you mean, but I didn’t see a problem. I think it’s good as is.

That comment takes me back to when I first used a nail gun instead of a hammer for trim work. Wow! There is a satisfaction for many of being able to use non-powered tools to make things in the old ways, but for efficiency the right makes a world of difference.

I only use the solid core project panels from Home Depot. Not cheap but a much better qualty than anything else you can buy in sheets. Available in 5/32 and 1/4 x 12 x 19.25. Boxes of 10.

Cut out 1 small bowl Stack it. Make another small bowl and stack it upside down on 1st bowl. Then so on and so forth until you get what you want..

Yeah a air brush isn't probably the best option for spray finishing unless you're finishing very small items like ornaments etc. and just a few at a time. I haven't used my spray equipment that I have for painting cars until the other day. I really needed something better than spray cans to spray a lot of the water based poly. Since I had a quart can I bought a couple years ago to do just that but then didn't want to use my nicer spray guns for these type of paints. I took my cheaper gun ( which actually works as good if not better than the high dollar ones LOL ) a gravity feed Astro 2000 I think is the model with the 1.4 nozzle. It did a nice job and I can see myself using it more. I'll likely buy a new one as the real only reason I did use it for other paints than for cars is the gun it old and been used a lot but more important is that the chrome is peeling off and to hold it it's rough and hurts your hand, LOL.. definitely not something I'll hold long enough to paint an entire car, LOL. They still make the same gun but now they're colored chrome looking rather than plain chrome. Definitely don't need a large cup that they come with. Plastic spray gun cups are junk.. now they might be okay for cheap oil and water based paints but the potent car paints and solvents sort of distorts the plastic and then you can't get the lid to unscrew.. ( not a good thing if painting a car and need to refill and can't get the lid off ) I would shy away from a plastic cup.. that said I believe the most spray guns may have the same threads to replace the cup with a metal one, that's what I did with my Astro gun. Since you don't need a large cup I'd find a small metal cup for the smaller projects. If you're good with fabrication and have some common sense for safety with air pressures etc. and you only spray the same material through the same can you can customize your spray can to be refillable.. then buy the quarts and just refill your spray can if you're good with the spray quality from the can..

I use these hoses and recommend them.

Many thanks, friend.

Hah, it worry's me too not wearing the saw out!. Thanks for commenting , I need that!!!

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

Here's my entry. I made these last year. But this year, I made a tutorial on how to make these fun Jack-O-Lanterns. I posted the video and the article in the Project Workshop area. Pattern is free for SSV Patrons. It uses a standard cedar fence board, so it's super cheap to make. Plus, they're really seem to be crowd pleasers. Hardly anything to the scroll sawing. Super easy.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat...is one big spider. What type is Zelda, do you know? I had a wolf spider living in my garage for a while, wish she'd come back because its cricket season again.

A large batch of Halloween items in progress.

I made thes for my grandson a few years ago .
