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.

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.

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.

Very cool,, watt are you planning to do with it? I'm sure it will light up your shop if you hang it on the wall. The more I look at it, the more electrifying it is. I don't have the energy to make one of those. ...sorry, couldn't control myself!

Can't help much with your saw-specific question, but it's nice to have the big saw. My Hawk is a 26", and cutting "windows" out of a 21" board was a breeze Dan

The frame is a gift for my son. I usually make at least 40-60 ornaments for family and friends. The frame and dove are Steve Good patterns.

This is an Elephant puzzle made for Grandkids. I enjoy shaping puzzle pieces and then adding a suitable background.

That’s very unique. You did an excellent job Charlie.

Still need to do a bit of sanding on the ornaments but that's ok the critters don't care.....lol The Karen one I need to send out yet. The sign is for Hubby's shop, just got it finished today. It is wrapped and setting behind a chair in the living room but out far out enough that it is easily seen from where he usually sits. It could be a couple of days before he sees it.. Not a overly observant person......................lol ps the board the letters are attached to he cut to size and sanded for me..............:) Little did he know.

Nice cutting. It's ironic that you showed this. My wife just found a light bulb she bought years ago. It is filled with foil and was used by the U.S. military during WWII as a strobe light for night photograph. That bulb is huge and very interesting.

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

This is the 3rd year my wife and I have made gifts for our kids. The first one for my son is Halo by Derek Hugger. Its a spring loaded marble machine. If you look him up on youtube, you will see how it is suppose to operate. Unfortunately I still need to work on it as it binds up and does not run as smoothly as I'd like. I tried to use walnut and oak where I could, but it often wasn't strong enough and I had to use plywood. The 2nd is a kids bakery counter for my daughter. My wife did the detail work and painting. 1/2 inch ply, and 1/8 inch plexiglass. No plans for this one just a rough cutlist we made. Thanks again everyone for a wonderful year, my family really enjoys the photos you post of your amazing works of art.

Made ornaments for friends and relatives again this year. this is a Steve Good pattern that didn’t show up on his site but a web search gets it. 20 ornaments. A keen eye will see two are reversed from the rest, as well as a few missed detail cuts on a few. Nothing anyone can notice unless they are side by side; I’ve just got to work on double checking parts before the Final Cut.

That is awesome, really like it. Great job. Jeff

I agree very unique and I really like it. Great piece.

great job

Beautiful craftsmanship RJ

Love it! Beautiful job and Beautiful pattern I am making a guess here, I see this pattern as saying a Rose Light's up a Moment. I know whenever I give my Wife a Rose Here eye,s light up.

WOW!!! That is 1 Beautiful box!!! You have got some cutting time in that. Your Wife Loved it I,m sure.

Great job. Beautiful box.

Thank sure is a beautiful box. What a wonderful gift.

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.

YA you really stretched that one out!

That is a great pattern and wonderful gift

awesome job

I had to replace the switch on mine.

FD makes flat end spirals. They aren't necessarily flat in the same plane, but are easier to install than ones that are twisted all the way to the end. For those, I do like others, use 2 pair of pliers and untwist the ends until they are flat and approximately in the same vertical plane.

A beautiful piece of scrolling there Jeff! Great fine detail and well finished, Thank you for posting, Bob

I love the snow, keep it coming every year Travis. Marg

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.

I don’t do anything fancy to mount spiral blades. Just put ‘‘em in. Does your saw use a special kind of clamp? I have used them in a DW788, Excalibur, and Pegas clamp heads.

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.

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.

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.

Have faith Rick. You are doing all the right things, eliminating possible causes as you go. At this point it's probably going to be a loose or broken bolt in the drive mechanism. When I tore mine apart I found a non-stock bolt (screw) that somebody had installed before I bought the saw. It also helped quiet mine down.

I don’t use spirals much, but when I do, like Paul, just like flat blades. I only use #0 Spirals.

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.

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.

Your "ex"? Wife?

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

Ray, I had my crow well done, heavy on the hot sauce to get a good sting out of it. Larry

Sorry about the bad advice. First time I've ever been wrong.

Not the best picture but an Easter cross I recently completed. I believe it was a Sue Mey pattern I used.

A couple of crosses I've done in the past. Need to finish up a handful of still-in-progress projects....

I cut two more toppers for Easter. The front is 1/4 Maple that was painted by my wife. All I know about the backer is that it is 1/4 but uncertain of the type. Thought it looked pretty cool with this grain. Happy Easter Village Scrollers!

Easter chicken is a Steve good pattern,and the eggs are popular.

This was my take on the Steve Good pattern. Sent it to my sister.

I cut this out of red cedar and poplar. I used the cedar because the knot was the perfect size for the stone! Because of the grain direction, the crosses are fragile.

I find them a bit distracting but I like them. It started snowing again outside 5 minutes ago and it looks as if it will be getting heavier as the day goes on. No shed for me for a while.
