We're pretty big fans of Little Debbie Christmas Trees in my family so I made my wife a pair of earrings.

Have had fun with these. All are Poplar cut with a combination of Pegasus #7 mg and #5 skip tooth. Dipped on 1 coat of clear Shellac and will get several coats of clear gloss Lacquer when dry. I think I will try one just a bit smaller than the smallest of these just for the fun of it. Both 2D and 3D.

One of my favorite patterns, by Sue Mey. Rough cut live edge red oak, about 5" x 7".

Here is my new Celtic cross, it is 5th one, I dont know why but they are quite popular, I just like them because it consists geometric ornaments and has 3D effect Celtic cross pattern

Here is my contribution to the Charlie Brown Christmas trees. I had a fun cutting these out. Cut them from 1/4 inch poplar. My sincere thanks to Barb Enders for leading me to Scrollercafe and more importantly how to navigate the web site. As an Air Force navigator one would think I would have no problem, my wife used to say I could find anyplace in the world, but couldn't get around in the city. Jerry

Here is a short video of things I have been working on over the last few weeks. They are for my last show of the season on December 17th. I spent a week, or so, cutting everything. As week, or so, sanding. And then another week, or so, finishing. Still have to get the shrink wrap on the puzzles. 20221204_141103.mp4

1#pine #3 pegas mg

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.

I bought some of these 1/4 sheet pads Friday. I have not used them enough to talk about durability yet but these things really cut. I have used the 120 and 180 grit on Poplar boards and they leave almost a glass like finish at the 180 level. Might be worth a try if your are in the market. https://www.harborfreight.com/painting/painting-supplies/sandpaper-sheets/4-12-in-x-5-12-in-60-grit-14-sheet-sandpaper-with-ceramic-alumina-grain-5-pack-58136.html

Cute idea. We like Little Debbie’s around here too. Don’t forget they aren’t real though.

I am tempted to shout "Oh Deer!" but I wouldn't do that.....oh wait.... Nicely done!!

Thinking outside of the box, Good job.

Doesn't that make you feel calm to look at it? Very nice.

Excellent, RJ

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.

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.

Personally, I have tried their sandpaper and gotten very inconsistent results. After spending a lot of time making and sanding something, I find it leaves a few odd scratches. Maybe on small things not an issue but on larger surfaces, it is a problem. Now, I use only Klingspor or Norton products. More expensive but better results.

I use alot of their sand paper. I have no problems with the wet dry paper, but the red sanding paper, when it gets warm, leaves a red color on the wood.

I haven’t used it yet but have gotten their belts for my sander. They’re as good as any others and not as expensive.

Lovely

very nice job

great job

Hey everyone! In this fun scroll saw project video we make a beautiful Christmas Themed Candy Dish! This Steve Good design uses 1/4 & 1/8 inch material. This is a perfect project to make if you are learning tabbed designs and is also perfect for Traditional Christmas Candies! Hope you all like the video! #ArtisanPirate

They will be running out the door soon, they have work to do. They look great. Marg

Excellent. Marg

I love the appearance of "action" having the tree bend to the ornament! Well done.

My version of lighted Christmas scene

Beautiful and timeless! Well done. Bruce

@meflick Thank you, that may be some help when I finally get started on this project. Thankfully they asked me well in advance, LOL The person on that blog did message me also and said they found the plans and put them up on the blog post, said if I had any questions feel free to ask so that was very nice. Hope to get started on this maybe late January..

Beautiful piece, RJ

THOSE ARE GREAT!

Yes it is from KJP and it is 1/8” and cut 2 together, much easier that way. I used Maple and Walnut

Now, THAT is a mouthwatering treat. Excellent job on the painting.

This was an easy project. My wife made herself a shawl and asked me to make a pin to keep it from slipping off. I found several ideas on Pinterest. I used the Snipping Tool to do a capture and printed a couple out. I taped one image to a window and put a clean piece of bond over it and traced the pattern. The stock is re-sawn oak from a pallet stringer that paper came on. The finish is mineral oil. As always thanks for reading.

You interested in adopting a 67 year old who loves new pencils? A seriously great job overall.

Great work

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

How did I miss commenting on this? That is a very well done beautiful picture.

Nice!

I agree, but we have a kitten that would be attracted to that….so situation averted for now

I first watched Steve Good's video where he used the clay. Basically I placed the ornament on a piece of parchment paper, rolled a bit of clay to warm up and then "crammed it" into the space. Then baked for 15 minutes at 275 in my toaster oven on a different piece of parchment paper. This is the product I used. https://canada.michaels.com/en/2oz-polymer-clay-craft-smart/M10268070.html?dwvar_M10268070_size=2&dwvar_M10268070_color=Red

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.

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.

Here's a napkin holder I made.

Even though I haven't post anything I have been working but I have also been teaching a 19yo girl to scroll and she is loving it. Any way here are a few things I have made. They are all Sue Mey patterns. The first Christmas Bells are made from 2.5mm Bamboo, the second ones are made from 4mm pine and so are the gnomes. They are all for a Christmas in July driveway market at my daughters. Marg

Bruce Dern as Asa "Long Hair" Watts from the 1972 John Wayne film, "The Cowboys." One of the meanest, back shooting baddies in the West. Love to hate him.

I liked your pattern Frank so I took a try at it. Cut from 1/4 Maple with a 1/8BB backer using a #2 spiral blade. I made the frame from alder and stained it. I must say the painting was challenging-getting the colors in the right place on the backer was time consuming. I probably went about the hard way

I Had never noticed that before....Now I'm going to see it every time. Marg

I had these two VW's I made quite a while ago, and decided they needed something extra to take to markets so a couple Tear Drop caravans became the order of the day. The complete unit measures about 330mm in length.

Thank you. I don't have a pattern as such. I sketch my design onto 3mm ply, then cut it out, this becomes a template to draw around each time I want to make some.
