This is one of his latest pattern, since I have two friends that love and ride motorcycles I decided to get the pattern and cut one each for them.

Cut a few ugly Christmas sweaters and angels from the last magazine and decided to fill the holes with epoxy. Still on the drying rack

My version of lighted Christmas scene

The Sleigh Image was a free downloadable zip file that included a SVG file which I was able to manipulate in Inkscape. I sized the image to fit within an oval I created (approximately 11 1/2” x 15 1/2”) that I cut from a piece of 1/2” x 12” x 16” sanded ply. The image was cut from 1/8” thick BB ply. The backer was painted white with Krylon rattle can paint. I used Artist Acrylics to paint the cut panel (originally image was only B&W) and the perimeter vertical edge of the backer. The assembled Plaque was protected with multiple coats of Clear Minwax Polycrylic finish. Just another Xmas decoration that will be stored away 11 months of the year. Comments and critiques welcome.

The true meaning of Christmas....I made the figurine set a few years ago(Steve Good Pattern), but never had a nativity barn to go with it, so I went to the scrap wood pile and came up with this, all made from scrap wood except roof made from 1/8" ply. Sorry I haven't been scroll sawing much.

I took the photos with a table and the light shining through the kitchen window on them. The color and finish on all of these came out looking horrible but in reality they actually turned out quite well. Sorry for the way they look, not exactly understanding why each piece looks so horrific but they sure do. I hope you all can try to understand that none of them look as you are seeing them. Makes me hang my head in shame but if you could see them for real you would understand. Dick heppnerguy

Hi I have been doing this on and off between projects finally nearly finshed so many pilot holes. End result was worth it though, i do have few little repairs to make on the right hand side wing.

Finally finished. I found working with the red oak to be extremely difficult for achieving the lacquered finish on top. The three on the right are red oak with walnut inlay. The other 3 are white oak with Jaboba wood inlay. The interiors each contain a Pentel .5mm and .7mm "Quicker Clicker Pencils", spare lead for each, spare erasers for each plus a Staedler eraser and an eraser template held by a magnet in the cover.

Well done. I like how you did the roof. The idea of having a floor and hay there is a good idea. My wife used to do toll painting and did a complete nativity scene, and I made a barn too. The wood is scrap barn board and she added hay. (It maybe raffi) It is a family tradition that is really treasured that I am sure yours will be.

Customer asked for a big tree of life pattern. Found this one as a black and white free image. Liked it so much she ordered four of them! 22 inches wide. 1/2 inch birch ply. #5 reverse tooth

I finished this Jim Blume pattern using Birch and Maple stained with Minwax Natural. The Birch has a black backer and the Maple backer is stained with Minwax Espresso. The frames are custom cut using pre-fab framing material. Both pieces were sprayed with four coats of Polyacrylic with light sanding between coats. They were cut using Pegas 2/0 and 0 spiral blades. Thanks, Jim, for a great pattern. I do enjoy cutting his patterns and already have the next one ready to cut although I have a couple commissions I'll have to work in there somewhere.

Paul pointed out that I had grabbed a photo of the pattern and not the one I had actually cut. Here is the correct photo of the one I cut and mailed off. OOPs, my bad Dick heppnerguy

First one I finished in a while. Red Oak 1/2" with a full size backer of 1/4" BB.

Old age crept up on me to fast and sitting in a chair since 2004 didn't help matters.

Very very good.

those are:

Beautiful work. I’m sure they will be loved and well used.

These are for my nieces and nephews. Filled with polymer clay, which gets baked. Finished with one coat of tung oil.

Yeah as Bob said, You don't know what you're missing until you've had a much newer more user friendly saw.. I started out with a old two speed delta.. I could never go back and use that today and be happy with it.

I'm sure it does. I used a little castiron scroll saw sold by AMT for years and made many projects with it. Changing blades was a pain, but I didn't know that until I saw a video demonstrating the EX21.

Just finished my first box frame light box for a customer who’s little girl is mad on frozen, Designed myself from images online and put together.Lights are mounted on a A4 MDF sheet then made pine box frame and put a frosted acetate sheet then cut out pattern on 1/4 inch Baltic birch plywood with 2/0 spiral blade and stained with danish oil ,finished off with a glitter lacquer (can’t really see glitter in picture but it’s there )Thanks for looking any tips for making these again would be appreciated as it’s my first I’m sure there is room for improvement

great ! you just gave me an idea

Over the years, I have made 100s of animal cutouts, maybe thousands. Kids love them, and it is an excellent way to use up those bits of wood left from other projects. I recently started adding the eyes by request. I use Inkscape to add the eyes to the pattern so I can move them around and resize them to look right. The kittens are my latest cutouts. I cut these from poplar, pine, oak, and mystery wood.

My brother asked if I could make him a gun stand. Made out of hickory a three coats of Arm-R-Seal. The bullets are the first things I have turned. Always fun to do a project for family. About forgot the name plate is cut out of poplar.

Stack of Dachshunds pattern by Jaeheon Yun and found in his book 20 Minute Scroll Saw Puzzles. Made from 3/4" solid Walnut. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #3R MGT blades. Sanded, dipped in diluted Shellac, and sanded again. I sell the blades at artcraftersonline.com.

Those are adorable Barb. I.m sure the kids will love them.

That us a mighty find box!

I used the scrollsaw to cut out the name on this toy box I made for my great grandson. Made it out of red cedar.

This project was completed on a century-old oak wood panel that was salvaged from a church in North Carolina that was started in 1921 with the help of my wife's great grandfather and eight other families. She and all of her siblings were baptized in this old church and family members are current members .. The church was demolished around 1959 when the new church was constructed. The panels from the choir loft were stored by a cousin for over 50 years. He knew I was involved in woodworking and asked if I wanted some. I accepted his offer. My wife now has a treasured piece from this special house of worship. The panel 's old finish was stripped and stained again prior to the scrolling. The grapes were created with crushed gems in acrylic inlay. The grape leaves were colored with a polyurethane/artist oils mixture. My wife was pleased to get the scrolled cross she had been asking for.

I have really enjoyed my time back on the saw. I have been trying my hand at compound cuts and wondering why that I took so long to start them. This is my first year at this but I think I may have started something with these. I am looking forward to starting a Chess set after Christmas. Any way all ornaments are cut from Cedar and Poplar with a combination of #7 Olsen PGT and #7 Pegas MG blades. (Look for a order later today Denny.) At this point they were dipped in Shellac with one coat of rattle can Lacquer. They received 2 more coats of Lacquer after the pics were taken. All patterns are (I think) from either Steve Goods or the Ornaments for Charity books except the little Reindeer, can't really remember where that one came from. Any way all comments good or bad are welcome. Sorry about all the junk in the background.

I've been busy with many things not hobby related. But also when time permits working on Christmas gifts. I also decided to give the 3-D reindeer earrings a try so I've been chatting with @CharleyL about how he does it. Here are my first two attempts out of mahogany. Gonna buy some hard maple today if I can find some.
