I’ve been a Waylon fan for almost fifty years. I was at the Opryland Amusement Park in Tennessee around 1975 and heard him play, not really knowing much about him, and have been a fan since.

After finishing my complicated train project, I needed somthing quick to cut. I rambled through some of the clip art I had and found the F-16. I only had to add a few bridges. Pretty easy to cut. Quite a bit of info on the F-16 in wikipedia. It's been in production since 1974 and over 4600 produced. Over 25 countries operate the aircraft. Local interest for me. Locheed Martin moved the production of the aircraft from Texas to Greenville SC at Donaldson Field in 2019, just south of the city. (a few miles from me) Side note of interest: I was sitting on the back deck and this bird landed on the Hummingbird feeder. Its a Rose Breasted Grosbeak. It is rare in our area. He was heading north from South America. Pretty bird.

This Sandhill Crane pattern is by Steve Good. I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood for all the pieces. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. After a light sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac and another light sanding. Comments welcome.

A couple I recently finished up. Standard 3/8" ply from Lowes, frames are scrap lumber ripped down. Stains are Minwax "Honey" and "Natural". The car came from the pattern library here, and The Shadow was a pic I found online. Filled in his scarf with some red acrylic paint that my daughter wasn't using (she's switched to oils). Wanted to put "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows." but figured out pretty quick that the text would have to be incredibly tiny to fit on there. Maybe if I save up my allowance and am able to get a deeper saw....

These are ornaments cut from 1/8" basswood (hobby lobby) it cuts well and as you can see, will take details without falling apart.

NM....I figured it out. I just reuploaded those icons, so that should be fixed now. Let me know if anybody sees any other broken images.

Thanks Paul. There are two patterns. The second one maybe cut this week.

Great job, Denny! I liked that pattern. You really did a awesome job with it.

Thanks Bernd. I have overhead LED light and use PhotoRoom for the black background.

Another beautiful cutting, RJ

Charlie, very nice cutting, RJ

I'm thinking and looking at turn-tables. Going back that way. My main concern is if I buy an older one could it get tubes/needles for it... I have a big box of 33's from when I was a teenybopper, some great jazz and I have one called African Drums, that is what the whole record is and another that is just the sound of drag racing cars taking off the line. I use to be able to name they type of engine just by the sound. Not any more I am sure.

That is a wonderful project. Nicely framed too.

I find that Basswood leaves a lot of fuzzies.

Nice job! I’ve never seen that type of bird. Beautiful!

Perhaps you could get together with others of your scroll saw community and place a one-time order for blades with one of the western distributors. You could select the blades and quantities you want and each of you get a supply. We pay approximately $3US per dozen in quantity. I will let you do the numbers on what it would cost you after fees and duties. But you would have the blades you want.

Nice cutting Bernd and a beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing. Jerry

Very good

Waylon Jennings and 8 track recordings brings a lot of memories. Nice clean cut with a good finish

I have a couple friends that love baseball and puzzles, so for their birthdays I’ve been making them a puzzle from a Norman Rockwell baseball themed illustration. This year is #10 in the series. The locks around the edge add a little challenge rather than a straight edge to identify the outside "frame" of the puzzle.

I use basswood mostly for carving as it is softer wood and cuts easily with a sharp carving tool., It also cuts very good on a scroll saw. since it is close a grained wood it is quite strong and takes paint and clear finish very well. If there is a down side to Bass wood that would be not much grain to it. Baltic birch would be a bit stronger and less prone to breaking.

Great looking Pattern and cutting Charlie, well done. Marg

OK...I fixed two of the posts. The very first one seems to link to a image that's not on SSV, so I can't fix that. You can always edit the post and reattach the image,

Thank you. Yes it is! I still have a 24 slot 8 track case I carried in my car back in the day. I’m thinking my tape deck was aftermarket, under dash.
