Hi everyone. Just thought I would put a pic of a fan I cut out a while back. I stacked cut these out of 1/4 inch B/B Ply. I put a picture of part of the pattern while I was cutting it. I have them hanging on the wall in my granddaughters room.

Now they are waiting for a background... Birch plywood 5/32 inch, size appr. 11 x 8 inch each, together appr. 1100 entry holes.

Ahh thank you. I had used "shop vacuum", thinking of "shop vac" as a specific brand only. Thank you. Don

I have done so many of Steve Goods patterns doing my seven years of scrolling. I do mostly portrait scroll art now.

Did these recently for two of my granddaughters for valentines day.

I have been making some things. I just finished this Marine Emblem. This is the 6th one I have made. Everytime I make one I end up giving it to a Marine I meet. Then I have to make myself another one. The last one I gave to a Marine, it was my Dental Hygienist. She was pretty excited.. So here it the last one. I am now starting a Navy one for a retired Navy friend. He spent 35 years in the Navy.. He deserves one.

Very well done!

Very simple, one hole, cut. With the right wood, sometimes that's enough. I'd describe it by saying, "Nature made a piece of art, and I put a bird on a stick on it."

We do our best to talk customers out of coloring our products simply because what they envision and what the wood will take are often 2 different things. Water items, no problem since we do lots of them. Green pasture, no problem we do lots of them. However once in awhile we get an "unshakeable" customer and no matter what we say, they are adamant in their color scheme... This then is one of those customers. The "Matt Pan" shadow with Bronze hooks - all black except for the feather! It took 2 different stains to get the "purest" black we could... Thanks in advance for looking..

Hey thank you folks. Don

I found this on YouTube comparing a vacuum called “Stealth” against the “Dewalt Stealth Sonic” . https://www.google.com/search?q=dewalt+stealth+sonic+vacuum&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:bce907d3,vid:Jkng2fAxZVA

This one took me awhile. 1/2" thick Red Oak on 1/4" BB backer. Rather then using "rails" like the plans, I when with a full sized backer board. Cut with #3 Pegas MGT blades. I usually get my R.O. from the local big box store (Menards), but I have not been pleased with the quality lately. Uneven coloring and excessive warping, etc. Problems I never have when I buy from Ocooch Hardwoods so I will be ordering a lot more from them this year.

Those projects are absolutely stunning.

Way more patience than I have. I keep it under 300 holes.

That is as good as his. The wormy red oak really did it for that pattern.

Here is a fairly recent thread : I used "shop vac" as my search term ( with the quotation marks )

Steve Good just did a review on the latest iteration of the "Scrollnado" dust collection system. He discussed a little vacuum that work really well with that system. Sorry. I don't remember the brand name. But a YouTube search would find the review.

On any project that I will use 2 or more copies I cut 3 I make my own frames so the size doesn't matter. My backers is usually some scrap ply found in the dumpster With the price of balletic birch I don't make many prostrates or pictures The ;main thing is that the blade is square with the table Bill

Cut from 3/4" unknown very hard wood. Measures 7" by 3". It can double as an ornament or even open that brown bottle special too. Fun to draw and fun to make. I also do thin material templates on a first run like this.

Great work. The combination of the saw and laser is inspired. What type of laser do you have?

Everything I cut is stack cut using 1/4-inch ply. I only stack cut 2 pieces. I've found stacking 3 poses a bit of a problem with the deviation of the blade when pressing through a cut. If you do stack cut three, you have to slow your cuts and let the blade "catch up" especially on sharper turns. The largest I've stack cut is 14X21 and I didn't have any problems, even on my 16-inch saw. I typically use spiral blades and tend to use a smaller blade than typical. (between 2/0 and 1) Like Clayton said, if you used 1/8 ply, you could probably get away with triple stack without any problems. Good luck.

I always stack cut my portraits. Usually 3 at a time buti use 1/8" Baltic birch. I have cut some as big as 16x20.

They will love them and you for making them. Excellent work Ralph. Marg

terrific work

Great job, Ralph. I'm sure your grandchildren will love them.

Cut from a cheap 1/4 inch thick Bamboo chopping board. Pegas spiral no.2 Regards, Alan.

Love it.great work!

I've been under the surface too long like a whale I came up to breathe again so I made a big whale hoping that 2023 will be a year of new beginnings like a whale breathing with fresh air. I hope everyone was healthy and doing well while I'm under the surface. happy new year !!

It looks great. I think you have the box making nailed. Marg

From everything I read, Chadwick was a great guy. Such a shame he died so young. “Sometimes you need to feel the pain and sting of defeat to activate the real passion and purpose that God predestined inside of you.” - Chadwick Boseman Interestingly, "Yibambe", the Wakandan battle cry, means hold fast.

I have cut a fair few of Steve's patterns, like everyone else but this is one that always puts a smile on my face. I modified it so that I could give it to my dentist. I colored parts orange because he was in the orange room but by the time I got to give them to him he had moved into the green room. Marg

Looks like you listened to Yoda - "Try not! Do or do not! There is no try." Nice job! Bruce

This old toy car is 7 ½” L x 3 ½” W x 3”H. Sister in law acquired this from a yard sale for.60 cents. It was in pieces, with only two wheels, broken bumpers with headlights and taillights needing replacing. It was in sad shape so I decided to try and restore this beauty. Lightly sanded the original finish and applied a natural oil finish. Not sure of the wood spieces. Made new bumpers of Aspen, headlights taillights of Ebony along with new wheels. Really enjoyed doing the restoration.

I don't post a lot because I am so busy cutting but here is some I have cut. I worked at a daycare several years back and made each of the babies one of these . The parents thought it was really cool and the upper management wrote me a letter thanking me for being so thoughtful . I do this hobby because I like to see peoples faces when I give them a gift. I now work on an Air force base so the veteran plaques are a big thing to do . It is a modified Steve Good pattern.. Thank you Steve for all you do for the scrolling community.

Nice! I cut that bottom pattern for my wife.

Have cut lots of Steve's patterns over the years., Here are a couple I cut for the wife for Xmas this year. Jeff

Awesome Dave

Biplane cut from Luan plywood. My grandson wanted this and the Luan was the only thing I had available. I figure it would be broken in short order but it is still going after more than a year. It is surprisingly strong.

Just a plug for Steve.. I try to donate to him about what I would have to spend on a subscription to a scroll magazine, each year. I really think I get more from him than I do from the magazines. It's not Not much money, I agree, but I get more from him than any Scroll Saw magazine I have ever subscribed to...

Here is one of Steve's patterns, I cut sometime back. As most of you know I am a Treekie from way back. I saw this pattern and was In Love. I have it hanging here in my room, and am looking at it as I type. I have done quit a few of Stve's pattern's and will do more.

I cut a lot of Steve's patterns and can truthfully say that I have learned volumes from reading his posts, watching his YouTube and cutting his patterns. He has been a great supporter of this hobby and I appreciate all that he HAS done and will do for us. Here are a couple of recent cuts from older, timeless postings:

I cut many Steve Good patterns, it is a great place to get different patterns when you start with the scrollsaw. I just post a few pics of some of his designs

I have cut many patterns of Steve's, more so when I first started out, not as much lately. The Army flag below was for a co-workers son that was in the Army. I am rather proud of the super straight lines that I cut on this piece... I must have been having a good day in the shop when I cut this. LOL

99% of everything I've cut thus far has been Steve Good patterns. Thank you Steve Good!

I have done several of Steve Good's patterns. With some knowledge of inkskape you are able to change them up to make them more challenging as you continue your scroll saw journey. The rose box was a segmented pattern he shared that I thought it would be nice on a box top done in intarsia. The cameo box was a fretwork box that I thought I might try doing it all inlayed.

I have been sanding the wood to 220 before applying the pattern. Makes final finishing easier. Be patient. It is not a race. Don't be overly critical - only you see the "flaws". No one else does.

A new style for the mothers rose, 3/4 ash rose tinted with food coloring ( I like the pastel look)

You're right, Charlie. Sometimes simple is all you need. Turned out great and I love the live edge wood.

Very nice, John. Wand can you make next?
