Wanted to make some small gift boxes and ordered some mahogony. 6 each 24 x 4" 1/8" boards (should have ordered 5-6" wide boards to better fit pattern). Stack cut 2 at a time. finish with gloss laquer. I had done the 2 center boxes with bubinga wood previously but it is getting very expensive. (twice as expensive as mahogony) Fun cutting.

I haven't posted in some time with new projects because I've been busy working on commissions. I thought I'd post some of them to give you a "look-see." The Porsche was actually three photos I combined into the one piece. The K-9 was with a local police department and passed away. The plaque was a presentation to the handler. The three dogs together are my fur babies (not counting the new puppy I got the wife for Christmas) I'll post patterns of the Border Collie and Lab in the library. Those were 'free to use' photographs that I made patterns from at the request of the customer. If you have any questions about any of the pieces, please let me know. Hope you enjoy!

Here’s an older one I did for hubby one year. It’s a Steve Good compound cut pattern. You can find it on his blog here: https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2012/10/this-is-pattern-i-used-in-yesterdays.html Looks like he has a newer one with more words (Love you to Pieces) that he shared last year just before Valentine’s Day. It can be found here on his blog: https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/search?q=Love+you+compound

Today I finished a pattern of this little angel that I thought was too cute to not cut. This is the second project I cut this month and it looks like I just might be finally spending some time in my shop other than Christmas presents. I hope you like this as much as I did when I saw the pattern. This is also the first oval frame I have ever attempted. A little bit of a struggle but best of all a good learning experience Dick heppnerguy

Made this simple Easter piece this morning......Easter is Sunday 3/31/24

Woods used Maple, Ash, Ebony and Wenge.

Steve Good pattern

A couple from recent years.

Ok, here is a project for those who like large…in this case around 750 holes…fretwork type patterns. I had been looking for a long time for an image of a Red Fox (face) that I could convert into a scrollable pattern. There are lots of Fox Images available on-line, but Inkscape cannot deal with the subtle differences in color changes or lack of strong edge definitions found in most of the images. I finally found and procured a stock pencil drawing image that Inkscape’s ‘Trace Bitmap’ command was able to manage, and I was then able to clean-up the trace into a scrollable 11x14 inch pattern. Inkscape was able to replicate the individual pencil strokes creating a pattern with tightly grouped, long thin cut-outs as well as many, small, short cut-outs scattered throughout the pattern. I will post the pattern for the interested in Pattern Exchange. And, just for information purposes, for this cutting I was curious to see how long the saw run time verses my total sit-down saw time would be. At the end of the cutting, my saw run time meter read 5 hrs and 44 minutes. My sit-down time was about 12-14 hours over five days. The eye strain resulting from trying to keep the Pegas #2/0 spiral saw blade within the narrow cut-outs would not let me work more than a couple of hours each day. The cut panel is 5/32” thick Birch solid core ply and the backer is 1/4"thick BB ply painted Black. The pencil drawing was a remarkably close pose to the various color images I found, so I was able to use them to guide my choice of colors for my Artist Acrylic Air Brush work. The assembled panel was protected with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Acrylic. And, once again I made a simple, 1 3/4” wide rail, Poplar Frame that I finished with multiple coats of Black Lacquer. Comments and critiques always welcome.

Found these three saying while browsing Facebook. Thought I would share in case someone could make use of them. First one would be great for the laundry room. The second one is just too funny and the third one is also super funny.

Hi everyone. Just finished these two items. Mivkey and Minnie is for my Granddaughter and the ship is for my son for his office. Both nade out of 1/4 in B/B plywood. The ship is a Steve good Pattern. Mickey and Minnie I found on the web.

Been wanting to make chess pieces for years. Finally started. Chose Bocote for my first set

Two of my grandsons are really into Legos so I built two of these Lego Man displays. I loved doing it for them but this would be a good job for a CNC machine. It's amazing how diverse Legos have become over the years. My wife and daughter both have Lego flower arrangements.

WoW Chalie, thats one big piece of wood. How did you cut that on a scroll saw, Kids must love that.

Those look great.

beautiful

awesome work

Beautiful boxes, what a wonderful gift to receive.

Great job!

I finally broke down and did the pattern. Took me a while, as you can imagine. The most difficult cutting was her hair. Fortunately, even though there were a bunch of frets, they were pretty sturdy, and I didn't have any break-outs.

Great job on all! Who did the pattern on the couple. It looks great. I remember you showing me the picture and it was going to be a tough one. Turned out very nice!

Thanks for the sayings. I make hand carved signs in addition to scrolling so think I'll make the laundry saying for our laundry room door. Thanks a bunch!

Nice plaque. After being together that long I guess they finally decided they like each other. Just being silly. Dick heppnerguy

What a talented and busy person you are. Thanks for continuing to post your work as I always look forward to what you are doing and admire your pattern making a lot Dick heppnerguy

Laundry - hubby does it!! That is his Sunday task. Heaven help me if I step in. Confuses his whole week then

Yes. Please email me at kris414kreations@gmail.com

This is my Valentine gift to my wife. I also posted it in the BRAGGING forum. Sorry for the duplicate posting. Thanks for looking. Rick

Awesome display Charlie.

what a great idea. !!!!!

Really nice and I love the wood. I too want to do a chess set. I just bought a pattern book off Amazon. Can't wait to get that one started sometime in the near future.

That is mighty fine cutting on an advanced project.

Great job!
