just finished this evening. Lettering is cherry , back board is Walnut and I framed the walnut with oak on the back. I had purchased the walnut from a widow years ago and when I planed it down I was disgusted when I hit a nail I did not see , it’s the first nail I had ever hit with this walnut so I was not expecting it. I of course ruined my planer blades but in my mind as I looked at it , the holes and black spots in the wood reminded of the nails on the cross .

This is 40 or more years old. It has been hanging on the wall everywhere we have lived since. It was made from pallet wood and one of the first things I cut on a scroll saw. I'm living this today with my grandchildren.

Just finished this beautiful Russ Beard Pattern, it was a double stack on 4mm Birch Plywood, cut with a Niqua 1 Pin Less blade, soaked in a BLO/Mineral Spirit Mixture, finished with a few coats of clear lacquer. Black backer and a second backed smaller than the original cut to give a shadow line effect. I cannot control the final colour appearance that the wood takes on, but I will accept it and am Blessed and Grateful that I am able to produce work like this.

Done by request for a favorite niece.

This actually doesn't mean "cozy" to me, it's a gift to my sister.

I choose a Shiela Landry design. Cut in 1/4” cherry with an 1/8” Baltic Birch backer painted black.

This is an older project, but I made a caddy for my tea. I kinda wanted it old farmhouse style.

Nothing like a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter's morning.

When you just finished what you were working on, it is too late to start on another project and too early to stop for the day.

Just got a picture back from the recipient of these coasters (gift for a high school friend). 1/4" elm laminated to cork coasters, one coat BLO, #1 Polar blades for most of the cutting, #2/0 Polar blades for the man. Thin coaster is the drop out from the thick. ( I love twofers ).

Beautiful work, excellent cutting, RJ

That is the one I wanted, but they don't have one that fits the model I have.

Have you looked here? I have the setup pictured on this page, They may have one for your delta. https://wynnenv.com/woodworking-filters/

Too beautiful to have to look at it sideways. Great piece.

awesome job

It is on page 208 in Scroll Saw Handbook With Patterns by Patrick Spielman. isbn:9780806968728 You can find this book used for $6 or less.

That sure looks great, Paul.

I purchased a Dust Deputy for the store. May purchase on for home.

That looks great, RJ

It might be a tough decision for me. Through experimentation, I found that my shop vac works better for most of my tools, probably because they are all designed for that. I don't have anything that connects to a 4-inch connector. I'm waiting to see if someone does a comprehensive review.

Also watching. I need to upgrade my dust collection system.

Yeah, same thing with me.. While I will likely wait until a better economy one like this in on my list at some point so I'll also be watching for reviews etc. on ths

That got my attention. I have an older Delta with a bag filter that I want to change to a paper filter. No one makes a filter for it, so I am going to be watching this one closely.

Well my first show of the year is over, it was a pretty cool day temperature around 6C not too big of a crowd because it was in our community of 184 houses. My sales were better than expected $578 and another $80 for special orders.

I have my first crafts show this Saturday and the next one on November 16, more stuff ready and looking forward to unload some material because my storage is pretty full. Alex Fox Christmas gnomes and Don in Brooklin hockey gnomes and I think the Charlie Brown Christmas tree is Sue Mey
