Every year I do 2 family puzzles one for each of my children's families.

This is a Christmas pickup that is did using a mystery wood I believe is Aspen. It is 3/16 inch thick painted using acrylic paint. The other is 1/4 inch thick oak stained with gunstock stain. Both are sprayed with rattle can clear gloss. The pattern is from a pattern book I purchased, Holiday Scroll Saw Ornaments, buy Jacob and Wayne Fowler. Jerry

This may be the most difficult project I have ever cut on a scroll saw. I made several attempts before I got one to come out in one piece.

got the pattern from facebook group, scroll saw works and free patterns, one of the members "Ian Pallister" posted this and several others saying patterns free to use and please dont sell. I bought the lights on amazon 3.3' colored led lights with batts

Have done a few more, Alex Fox Christmas lock boxes, since it was cut with 1/8” wood I did two at once, the tree display is from Don in Brooklin and the wine plaque is from Sheila Landry. Enjoy

Very nice job! I cut that one a few years ago. Mine have a Cherry frame.

Saw this the other day on here and thought it was neat. Made two and they are both gone, so will be making more. Jeff

They were 95% FD UR blades in various sizes. The rest were Pegus blades. The UR blades have a reverse tooth every third tooth. When the blade starts to dull, i reposition it to get fresh teeth. This is easy to do with the Pegas saw. I load the blade as low in the clamp as i can. When dull, i move it up in the holder as far as i can so there are fresh teeth cutting. It’s like doubling the life of the blade! This works on any skip tooth blade and FD UR reverse blades. If you use a regular reverse tooth blade, you will loose the reverse teeth when you reposition it.

Jerry, they are real nice, painted one is awsome, RJ

Well it's been a little while, but I finally got in touch with Denny Knappen like some of you guy's recommended that I do. I talked to him today and he was really helpfulI I ordered what I needed from him and it was a pleasure talking with him on the phone. And, it turns out that he has the exact same saw that I do, so that really helped. Anyway I wanted to thank you guy's on here for the suggestions as it really helped me out. Thanks again to all of you. Jim

I modified a Steve good pattern using Inkscape to make this Ornament as a gift. It is made from 1/4-inch plywood with a 1/8-inch backing. It is finished with rattle can lacquer and bright red acrylic. I used a Pegas #1 MGT at a slow speed for the cut.

I try to cut a Santa for my wife every Christmas, this is cherry with a chestnut frame & no stain. Botas pattern.

A few of my favorites from the past few years. Have not finished ones from this year.

For anyone who hasn't seen these, they are really fun. I did these three last night for grandkids. They look much better actual "tiny" size than blown up. I included the video demonstration.

We are in Cibolo on the NE side of San Antonio

Don't forget about the wild hogs, you don't need a lic to shoot them, RJ

I have family is San Antonio and Nixon.. I'd love to visit more often but I really couldn't move there as I'd sure miss the cold and snow.. But then again.. I never seen so many old rust free cars and trucks.. When I think about it that way Texas is right up my alley.. Then I think about all the scorpions, tranchulas, and the huge rattlesnakes, and copperheads at my father-in-laws ranch.. I remember that I really do like the cold and snow.. Oh, don't stand on any ant hills.. Those things will set you on fire... Yep, definitely like this snow and cold..

Ray, come on down, homes are a lot cheaper, RJ

Put a false table top and see how close to top you can get. Use up a few more teeth.

Now all you need to do is flip them over and cut with the other end to get your moneys worth from them..

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and experiences!

Just add another item to the collection

The only Christmas thing I did in December!

I have always wanted to make one of these. This time I DID it! Sue Mey design. The base is 19” X 6”

Yesterday I did a compound cut out of one of the ornaments for charity books. this one is by Travis. I realized that by adjusting the side cut, you can make 3 ornaments out of one slab, so in essence a stack cut in a way. Cyut the PEACE side first, then cut the 3 side cuts.

Some recent stuff. Scrooge is, of course, hanging up at work during December. Santa countdown is at my wife's desk, and the gnome ornaments usually find a spot on the tree somewhere.

All scrollsaw. Almost ready to ship. Canarywood CowGirl hat. A lady in Idaho wanted one. I have to glue leather sweat band in and pack it up.

This is a Carole Rothman design that was published in Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts, issue 61, Holiday 2015. The box is made from Brazilian rosewood and the flower petals are cut from alder. Won’t the missus be surprised!

Many great grandchildren’s parents needing ornaments. Steve Goods Name ornament maker. And one from Shiela Landry.

some of these i've posted already, not sure about others. All are Sue Mey patterns. birch wood, spiral blades. Cedar base on some. Pine base on others.

One more from an Ornaments of Charity Patterns file. Compound cut, made from Walnut.

A couple from the "Ornaments for Charity" patterns for 2024. Did this this AM, stack cut. The Dove is mahogany. The angel is canary wood. Finished with Beeswax and coconut oil.

Since 2010 I have made yearly ornaments for family, friends and co-workers. Modified Steve Good pattern and had to cut 60 of them this year. 1/8 inch BB ply cut with Sawbird #3 ultra reverse, stack cut four at a time. Jeff

The last two gifts for the ex girlfriend, still friends, just a step back. The angel is a SG pattern, the spice rack is an old pattern I had to modify.

These are from this year's business kit patterns. I cut them from 1/8-inch baltic birch plywood and finished with clear shellac. I used a #3 Pegas MGT blade with the saw slowed down about 1/4 turn from the slowest speed.

Each year I do a Marine ornament for Hubby and this is this year's orn. I did not put a backer on the bell itself as he preferred it without. The bell outline I will do in blue.

3 Layer, with colored rice size LEDs I really like doing layered and lit projects. Last year, I did the much larger one. I really like working with walnut, it cuts and finishes well, and that chocolate color when I apply the linseed oil is phenomenal.

I just finished this "snowman" today, he's headed to Australia in the morning. My customer likes to send winter gifts to her family enjoying their summer. Thanks for looking. This a Sue Mey pattern, I changed a few things so the piece would be safer to ship. Rick

I made this pattern from Steve Good and it can be interpreted two ways, Santa gained too much weight during the year and the ladder broke or he lost too much weight and his pants fell off, either way so far I made 5 of them because my family and friends like them
