A modified Steve Good pattern. I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood-stained Walnut for the backing. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using mostly Pegas #1 MGT blades, but Pegas #0 Spiral blades around the Elk and Evergreens. A light sanding with a Mac Mop, dipped in diluted Shellac and two coats spray Lacquer Clear Satin with sanding between coats. Comments welcome.

I tweaked a great pattern by Sam Custodio. I absolutely love good finger style guitar picking and have tried many times to attain the skill but it's just not in the cards for me. I listened to acoustic guitar music through my headphones while cutting this and it was so therapeutic. The wood is 1/2" Sycamore and the backer was a thin plywood bottom from a repurposed dresser drawer. "♫ Who draws the crowd and plays so loud? Baby it's the guitar man. ♫

The F-16 Fighimg Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. It provides a relatively low-cost, performance weapon system for the United States and allied nations.

Haven't posted for a while. Here are a couple of my latest. Eagle Reflection pattern by Steve Collins and Young Love pattern by Charles Dearing. Jeff

For SIL. 1/4 BB on 1/8 BB. Medium Watco and rattle can blue.

Plus it can be rolled off to the side when it's not being used...

Love this man's music! I got this wood from the drawers of a roadside discarded dresser. "Happy Enchilada" is sort of an inside John Prine Joke. If you're interested I posted a clip that explains it in the comments.

Some time ago in one of the discussions on here about cordless tool batteries someone mentioned you could get adapters to use different brand batteries on your tools. I was a bit skeptical but I finally bought one just to give it a try. I have two of the 20V HF Bauer brand battery packs, both of which are larger amp hour than my DeWalt drill has. I got the adapter in the mail today and it seems to work.. Does get a little sticky with the release button and made from what feels like some cheap plastic but it does work and I think it'll work well for my needs.. We'll see how it holds up for some bigger jobs where I'm using it enough to get the drill motor a little warm.

Hi everyone, I'm having an operation next week to try to fix this old mans back, Doc says about 4 to 5 weeks before I can go up and down the stairs to my shop. My CEO, COO and everything else in the house reminded me of some gifts I had to complete before my down time, I just wanted to show them to you guys & gals. I won't be able to work, but I will be able to sign on the internet and see what all my friends are working on. I posted this on the other 2 scrolling sites, sorry for the double post. Thanks for looking. Rick

If you are pulling blades from the same batch, try switching to either different brand blades or a different group of blades.

That came out great Charlie. Love the hands. They look real.

The backing looks black in the post but it's royal blue. It's about 10" tall.

no it is added somehow. Amazing welding job some how.,

Darn, that was the one thing I did not do, and usually check it every few weeks if I am running hard. Just tweaked it. So here is how close I am front and back, while under tension. Pretty close to parallel. 1.5mm diff. I am going to set my blade back where it was, as that seemed to make things worse. I was back to having trouble staying on the lines, and it is so far off 90 on the cut, it is not funny. The blade just was not responsive. Really drifty. I am pretty gentle raising and lowering the arm. Only a couple of times it came down and slammed, I tightened it up to prevent that. Is there a replacement part for the knob? This machine is just over a year old. I am not hard on it, and do not use it for major production. I also do not run it full speed either.

Another fine job, RJ

Sure! I'll send you a message.

I had hoped this piece of Cedar was the right wood but did not turn out like I had hoped.....Working on a 2nd one on Adler wood...I really liked Charlie's pattern and wanted to do it justice..Thanks for looking. Steve,

Looks good to me. Don't be so hard on yourself.

To me it looks like you’ve done the pattern justice. Very fine work.

Looks good to me! Thanks for sharing. I’m so happy people enjoy the pattern. Sometimes simplicity is best. It’s what I liked about the original photo. Nice job!

Looks good but it should be easy to align and distribute. There are lots of videos on this from years ago. Here is one https://youtu.be/MNgjZDkQW1w?si=kddiK7YOSBolxtHy If still not working I would report to Inkscape. They have a forum and a bug report.

A couple from recent years.

Yep! That makes it uniquely yours!

Thank you all really appreciate you all. I guess just go with my heart then is the best bet ?

That is correct I asked Steve years ago and his answer was many of his projects are computer generated and not stained at all.

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.

We are thinking very seriously about doing just that Frank. Gonna look at a few places in Arizona this Spring.

Move!
