"Spidey" 46,5cm x 37cm, backer board 8mm, Spidey 4mm thick, 'cheap' DIY store ply, done with a hand held fretsaw with a #3 blade. This was my first complex one. Every single piece is a floater, cut out by hand, sanded, painted and glued in. Took me about three weeks.

Last Christmas I made set of Gnomes, they became popular, so I decided to make a big set of holidays gnomes. Set includes 24 patterns: 3 gnomes for each of 8 holidays: Christmas, Thanksgiving Day, Independence Day, Easter, Halloween, Valentine's Day, St Patrick Day and Labor Day. Size of each gnome is about 6,5 x 4 inches, consists of 4 layers, stand and hanging ring are optional. Video of making one of gnomes Holidays gnomes pattern

Working 57 years at one place is special and when that place is a university, it is extra special. So, a friend is finally pulling the plug in about 10 days and I cut him a copy of the school logo in 3/4" cherry. Picked up some fresh #3MGT blades from @Denny Knappen and they ripped right through this project. (My first real cutting since cataract surgery.) The base is weighted by a few ounces of BBs in glue. Below are pics of the campus statue, the derivative logo and my cutting. Felt good to get some sawdust on my fingers!

Watching a video by Tyler @artisanpirate where he made a candle holder I had to try it. Many time he closes his video with "If I can do it, you can do it". So I gave it a try. Came out pretty good, but the leaves are fragile. Broke two of them, one when gluing it, the other when staining. Fortunately you can't see where I repaired the breaks. Made this with pine, stained with Minwax gunstock. The second is a small clock with shelves from a pattern book I had by Diana Thompson, Compound Scroll Saw Creations. All the clock patterns call for small clock inserts which I could not find anywhere, so using inkscape I increased the size of the pattern to accept the 1 7/16-inch clock inserts. This was made with poplar and stained Minwax cherry. I'm pleased with both. Jerry

I finished cutting this in late February, I believe. Been sitting on my table saw waiting for me to decide what to do with it. Nothing yet. I want to do something with it. It is cut in. 1/2" popular wood, A Finoa Kingdon pattern. I really enjoyed cutting, as I do all of her patterns, I have used.

This is an @alexfox pattern slightly modified, actually all I did was not add the middle layer. This time instead of leaving the wood untreated I painted it and in my opinion a success. No bleeding of the resin into the wood Anyhow, here it is.

Extremely well done.

Very impressive! Jerry

That is amazing work!

Hello barb.j.enders. I'm the person you're talking about. Not Amos,lol... but Asmocrafts@uniquescrollersparttenshop I'm still using Hand held Fretsaw till date. Here is a Valentine Day gift I used my Handheld Fretsaw to handcut. It's pattern was hand drawn by me using my manual drawing instruments to design. The hand drawn pattern of this Valentine day gift is available on request for a token if you need it.

Excellent! I was so lucky to have seen that in person

Really nice idea! I am sure they will really love it!

Very cool! And. Dry nice of you to do that

Got them today's mail. Don't know how you get such good service from USPS.

I often see these cool birds when trout fishing on Rivers in the Northeast. They have a swoopy flight pattern and a raspy caw call. Very entertaining bird. Getting better at cutting the self frame. Used 9 degrees off from 90.

Hi Larry looks like it was shipped. You should have received a tracking number. Let me know if you don't receive the order. Denny

Have you thought about bevel cutting? The pieces would drop right in place with virtually no kerf. May seem like more work but once you get the hang of it it should go pretty quick.

Here is some pics for discussions.... This is quick and dirty experiments using the crappy inlay from before. I installed both symbols facing each other. The next one shows the rings stacked. Everything was falling apart. So I used super glue to finish the experiment. it seems a bit complex. But might be doable. Am I going down a path of future failures? Will the symbols fall out with the cold or hot weather.
