Made for the wife for Xmas. Keith Fenton pattern.

Hey everyone, Been working on this Owl pattern on and off for a couple of weeks now, finished it today. This is my first project using a spiral blade ( Pegas no.3 ) I added a white backer board for the moon and some edging strip for a frame. The pattern is from the village pattern library but I cannot find it again to give credit to the designer, but thank you for a lovely pattern. Hope you all had a merry Christmas and all the best for a happy and peaceful New Year. Regards, Alan.

First of all let me wish all of you here at The Village a Wonderful and Joyful Christmas. I an sure just about everyone here will know this Fair Ride, Every Fair I have ever been to has one of these, The Pirate Ship as it's called most of the time. I found this pattern floating around on the net, I also found the kit, but someone(bless him) posted the pattern itself for free. It took a few days, but I got it together. Now I have to decide to sell it or keep it.

I wanted to take a moment to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas! I hope you are able to spend some quality time with those you love. Thank you for making Scroll Saw Village an awesome place to be. I hope 2023 is full of sawdust and some really cool projects. Happy Holidays To You and Yours!

An Alex Fox pattern

Ah, I can vividly remember my first project going back 24 years. I had just built my 8 x 12 workshop and purchased my first scroll saw. A 16” Craftsman, and couldn’t wait to get started. Photo attached was my first project, and it was a Christmas gift for my mother. I think I spent at least three evenings till midnight completing this. I was finally done and proud as hell. My mother was very pleased, it was the first thing she would put out on display each Christmas season. When she passed in 2007 I received it back. Here it is. A Christmas window scene cut out on ⅛” oak and enclosed within an oak frame and red acrylic backing on a mahogany stand. Now my wife puts it out on display each Christmas season as well. What was your first project and story? Love to hear it. Merry Christmas everyone.

Plaques are of BB Ply 6” round. Stands are of Maple with one stained walnut.

This is my own pattern. Size of top is 5 ½” x 2” x ½” , base 6” x 2 ¼” x ½”. Woods used were Paduak & Holly. The diamonds were mortised with sting of Holly inlayed along with the front piece of Holly.

This item is a tribute in memory of someone who was known for his or her passion for music (sample photo).

If you’ve been around awhile, you know I do this once a year. Why? Because it’s Christmas, I like it, and I wanted to do something special for SSV to mark this special day. This is the only snow you can predict. Sorry you don’t like it. Come back tomorrow. Until then, let it snow.

Fun pattern by pattern designer Jik from Indonesia. https://www.facebook.com/jik.siluet His custom portraits are very good. Don't know if there's a deep meaning to this one but it was a fun cut anyway.

Urn sizes are 3 ½” x 4” x 3 1/“. Woods used were Mahogany, Walnut, Aspen, Yellow Heart & Wenge. Brass plates are removable for engraving or can be left off. Inside was mortised to 2 ½” x 2 ½” x 2 ¾” and flocked.

Clock pattern by Dirk Boelman. Size is 10” x 7 ½” x ½”. Wood is Maple with an oak stain and finished with clear satin polyurethane and polished with bees wax.

I take a regular blade, mount the bottom. Then, using pliers, I twist the blade twice and mount the top. Is there another way?

Jewelry box size is 7 ½” x 4 ¼” x 3”. Woods used were Holly, Maple, Jatoba & Cherry. Cherry & Jatoba were laminated and then cut to size for the box. Inlayed banding on top to complement. Finished with clear satin polyurethane and polished with bees wax.

Oh...and welcome to the Village!

If you go here http://www.rbiwoodtools.com/WebsitePages/Scroll-Saw-Manuals.html they have a list of manuals based on your saw's serial number. They have a troubleshooting guide in the manual that may be a good place to start. Good luck.

Size is 8” x 8” oval marquetry pattern by Roy King. Woods used were White Oak, Mahogany, Butternut, Walnut and Cherry. Finished with clear satin polyurethane and polished with bees wax.

Clock patterns are of my own design. Clock with strip of Holly on to size is 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x ½”, woods used were Paduak, Apple & Holly. Second clock with stripe size is 3” x 4 ½” x 3”, wood is Mahogany. Both finished with clear satin polyurethane and polished with bees wax.

This is the first snow that I've seen so far this year. It's been cold enough (8 deg F yesterday) but not a single real snow flake so far. I like snow a time or two every year, but don't want heavy snow, and want it to melt before it becomes dirty snow. Thanks Travis for giving me my first sight of snow in 2022. Charley

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Channukah! What ever your flavor!

I don’t recall seeing this ride at any of the fairs here but then it’s been awhile since I’ve been one. Very well done Bobby. Merry Christmas.

and a Merry Christmas to you and yours Travis and a very Happy New Year...

My 3 grandkids all like Jack Skellington, from A Nightmare Before Christmas. We had a night of Christmas light looking, cookie making and such so I cut out ornaments of Jack and let them put them together. Awesome night!

Not looking for a new saw - happy with my EX-16. But...........There is an EX-30 in my area for $400. It's from General International, and judging by its age, a Taiwan made machine. The family is selling it after the father died. Question: Is there any significant vibration, etc. in a saw that big? Any opinions for buy or pass? Any other thoughts?

@BadBob the snowflakes are gone - you can come back now. I am sorry if they bother you, I was on yesterday and know they are only for the one day and find them a little festive.

Thx Travis, its been awhile since I saw snow, RJ

Appreciated by Californians who have no clue what those "floaters" are. Love it!

If there is I do not know it. Some take two pliers and flatten the ends, I do not, I put them in like flat blades.

Very nice. Those would make wonderful little gifts foe someones office!

Merry Christmas to everyone on Scrollsaw Village. I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow.

Fabulous. Merry Christmas Bobby. Marg

I made these rubber band guns for my Granddaughters for Christmas. It is payback from when my son was a kid!

Ripper stuff Charlie. I do miss the kids being little on Xmas. Wishing you and yours the merriest of Christmas's and truly happy new year mate.

No compound sawing, just different piece of wood glue together

This was a bit of a challenge but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

These are two more of the puzzles I made for the Grandkids. The Giraffes were made from Quarter sawn Sycamore. I wish that I had shaped the Giraffes but the Grandkids love the puzzle. The T Rex puzzle was one of my favorites with the tree and volcanoes in the background. The Giraffes and T Rex are designs from Judy and Dave Peterson. I have made many of their puzzles for the Grandkids.

Merry Christmas Roly to you and yours. Marg

Awesome. A new memory made. Merry Christmas to you and yours Charlie. Marg

Your time is the best gift ever. They grow up before you know it.

Different approach.
