All done!

Hello all, Here is my latest project, a pair of Leopard cubs. Cut once again from a Bamboo chopping board using a Pegas skip tooth no3 blade. The pattern is by Kenny Hopkins on the Scroll saw village. Thanks for a lovely pattern Kenny, I hope I have done it justice. Regards, Alan.

For Christmas I made one of my grandsons a "soccer" plaque with shaker pegs. The daughter asked me to make the granddaughter something similar with a cheerleader motif. Here's what I came up with. Top layer 1/2" Baltic for all the inside cuts, FD Polar #1 blades throughout the interior cuts. 1/2" Baltic laminated to the top with polyurethane glue. All outside cuts made with FD #3 Polar blades. Name painted white and then with glow in the dark paint, for the cool factor. Steve Good pattern modified with the name and the shaker pegs. Mounting holes hidden under the lower team logos. The cheer team.

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.

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.

These are a few projects that I made for my wife a few years ago.

Just finished this one. Idaho plaque, pattern by BoB scroll . Wood is a repurposed plaque ( 6" X 23" ) from a thrift store, 3/4 pine; blades FD Polar #1 throughout. Second Picture is the piece on the saw with a " 1 2 3 block" as a counterweight, nonslip pad underneath. Started cutting in the center to reduce the weight when I got to the ends.

I cut one like this a few months ago but a dear friend said he'd like to have it so I finally got around to cutting one for myself. The pattern is in the library but I added a bit of detail as I cut it this time.

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

Did these back in 2019. I wonder where they are now....................lol

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!

If the tear out is on the top, could it be you have the blade installed down side up?

Yep, i have cut a few of those as well. 20 minutes turned into about 20 hours with sanding and finishing, but I had a good time and my beloved got some more puzzles for her learning centers in the library.

Yes I did thank you had to do a bit of a work around but finally got it right.

A couple from recent years.

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

I stepped way out of the box for a Valentine's project requested by my church to honor all the members for contributions they made throughout last year. So I made these signs painted onto 3' x 2' canvases.

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.

+1 on this...I've been scrolling for decades and I still run my finger down the blade to determine which way it cuts.

Run your finger down the blade. It should glide down. No teeth grabbing you. I don’t look at it, I feel it.

Reservations in Walla Walla, Washington for some wine tasting

Nice cuttings, Ralph...

Great job!

Thanks for posting this find! I put it in my "ideas" folder.

Like already said, simple, but very well done.

Another great pattern and cutting.

That is way too cute! Great design.

Hey Everyone! In this scroll saw project video, we make a cute stick figure couple for Valentine's Day 2024! I used pieces from my scrap bin to bring this piece to life and it's a very quick project to make! This could be a great gift to give something totally handmade to a loved one on the 14th! The Design comes from Making Wooden People & Pets by Fox chapel Publishing. Hope you all like the video! #ArtisanPirate

very nice

The ship is rather interesting. Nice work!

Terrific job on both. Marg

Wow you have been a busy bee. They are all marvelous but my favorite is the black lab. Marg

Barb, Beautiful work, very nice job!

You could use the plaque as a template and trim the backer with a router with a trim bit. However, because the Plaque is pre painted, I might be inclined to make the backer smaller than the Plaque so the backer edges do not show when hung. To hang I would install two sawtooth hangers, one near each end close to the top. It will hang with out any tipping. Adding shaker pegs would be a nice touch, but not sure what would get hung on them. IMO, jackets or the like would be too heavy. Small fancy hooks might be better for hanging Keys or such. The backer colors sound good, just wondering if they will show enough. Potatoes are brown, aren't they. A simple dark brown might look nice also. These are all just my thoughts. Not trying to tell you what to do.

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

Love those. Great job.

They look great, RJ

Beautiful work, RJ

Wow. That is just beautiful!

Very nice Barb. Jerry

nice work

Very nice!!

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

The simplest answer I can give is, a bucket of bloody Marys for the wife and myself.

Yep! That makes it uniquely yours!

Most pictures of Steves projects, including the one you show are simulations, the colors are computer generated. You have to find and pick your owns colors. For me, I always use hard woods. For that backer, I would use Mahogany or Sapele. This piece is Maple for the overlay and Sapele for the backer board.

Aww! Nicely done.

Thx for all this info and input, but all in all the I feel the scroll saw doesn't make the scroller. You could have an expensive saw, hawk or hegner, and be good, but someone else with a dewalt will be a better scroller, its the talent of the person scroll sawing, RJ

I use paste floor wax for all my table tops. Not only does it make the wood slide easily but it also helps prevent rust on the cast iron.
