Had a guy at church that wanted to buy a couple of bowls. Here is what I made for him.

I am trying to cut out Animal Puzzles and finding difficulty in getting the Blade to cut the puzzle pieces so that they fit together when attaching from the top and the bottom. The puzzle pieces are a little bigger on the back side ,so the pieces only go together from the back side. I have tried realigning the blade with no luck. I am using the #1 Blade. I have OCD and this is driving me "Nuckin Futs", LOL Thanx in advance for all assistance in correcting this issue, Guy

Greetings, My name is Stan and I am 65 years young. I am a retired carpenter and millworker (custom doors). Scrolling has always intrigued me but somehow I never took it up. (I bought my very first scrollsaw just last week). I look forward to interaction with the Scrollsaw Village Community as I believe I will be able to learn quite a bit from the more experienced members. My hobby for the last 5 years has been modifying vintage and antique Banjo Clock cases into what I call "Memory Clocks". If you are not familiar with The American Banjo Clock I have no doubt that you will recognize its distinctive shape. Basically, a Memory Clock is a working, functioning clock whose original mechanical movement has been replaced with a battery-powered Quartz movement. The resulting space enables the clock case to become a display case (sometimes lighted). In the two display areas a person can showcase emblems of some of his, or her favorite things. Pins, badges, insignia, stickers and so forth that might represent the owner's career are a good example. Club memberships, Military affiliation, religious depictions are also some topics for a Memory Clock. The first one I built was for my Wife's Dad, George Harbison. He spent fifty years working on the Great Northern Railway, the Northern Pacific, and ultimately the Burlington Northern (presently the BN Santa Fe). He began as a laborer whose job was to clean the fireboxes of steam locomotives at the Livingston, MT repair facility and worked his way up to being a "Hog-Head" (locomotive engineer). He was also a fifty-year (Past Master) Mason and Shriner, a US Navy veteran of WWII, and a volunteer Deputy Sheriff. If ever a man needed a place to display some pins and badges, I thought at the time, it's George. So this became Memory Clock Number 1 (MC-001) or the "Hog-Head". Since discretion is the better part of valor I felt it wise to make a Memory Clock for his wife of 60 years,and my own, dear Mother-in-Law, as well. And this became Memory Clock Number 2 (MC-002) or the "Carousel" Since then I have built Memory Clocks for my three children, and one for my Son-in-Law. If you would like to see some more, please visit the photo pages on my Facebook page, Memory Clocks by Stan In building these clocks I often came upon situations where a scrollsaw would have been quite handy, but somehow I just cut or carved my way through and vowed to buy myself one, "someday". "Someday" arrived last week and I bought my first scrollsaw. I may soon be making a total pest of myself asking about the best blades, saw speeds, woods, patterns, etc. But for the moment I am excited to join the Village and look forward to a long, enjoyable learning curve. Best Regards to Everyone, Stan

Hello everyone I am new to this site. I have been creating custom woodworking projects for 30+ years. I do a lot of large scale scroll saw projects as well as some small scale. I am a professional woodworker. I live in Brandon FL. and work for a company called S+L Millworks We are a hi end woodworking company. From this site I will show you tricks and techniques I have learned over the years. I hope to learn from you guys and gals as much as you can learn from me. Can't wait to meet everyone.

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. I signed up to this forum about 10 minutes ago. My name is Pat and I'm 32 years old. I recently purchased a Dewalt DW788 scrollsaw with a stand. Since then I've been playing around and cut out a few symbols. I have quite a few pine pallets that I dissambled, removed the nails, ran through a thickness planer, cleaned the edges up and plan on glueing up to later cut out some designs. Two days ago I downloaded Inkscape and I'm trying to learn that application so I can make some patterns to cut out at a later date. Right now it's really cold outside and I don't have a heater in the garage so I've been inside looking for scrollsaw forums\sites to learn off of. Is anyone else from Maryland? I recently purchased a chainsaw mill so I'm looking forward to having a good amount of wood to work with. Pat
