After a short search I found that this is identical to the Ozito model we get here in Australia. https://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-variable-speed-rotary-tool-kit-31-pc-68696.html

Yeah, the Ozito uses collets. I don't know if you can get them in the US but there would have to be other brands that are much the same. No doubt they are mass produced in China somewhere and given a different brand, depending on who orders them.

Wasn't there a video showing how to make a homemade plunge router attachment on the site somewhere? Dremel is so overpriced.
-
Not sure about the WEN model but I've used the Ozito model, https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-170w-42-piece-rotary-tool-kit_p6290175. I've never had any problems using this and it comes in very handy for segmentation sanding, don't use it much for drilling.

Never bent wood but I understand it requires steam and pressure. Apparently you can make a steam box out of whatever and steam the hell out of it. Take it out and bend it around a shape. Might have to try that one day but have never had the need to.

I thought I'd get a little creative on this one. Hope someone can use it. Obviously you'll want to cut the white.

Hi All, Just learned something new, and I've been playing with computers for a long time. Inkscape can import CDR files. Not only that, you can change the colour if they are hard to see, resize so they'll fit on the page (best to do the whole import so you'll get multiple pages) and ungroup everything. Then it's just a matter of fitting everything onto the page and Save As(I've been saving as PDF). There are heaps of free CDR files out there, like here: https://3axis.co/ So if you're looking for something new give it a shot.

certainly good work you do there. Just one thing though, wouldn't the yellow butterfly look better where the W is, instead of the O? It just looks out of place the way it is.
-
thanks. Grabbed a copy.

Here's one for you. It'd be the perfect day to choc coat a raw egg, or boiled, and wrap it as the real deal. You don't get this chance very often. You know you want to do it now that you've read this. It's stuck in your mind and you can see the funny side to it. Go on, be daring, do it.
-
This is what i got so far thank you again for the pattern
-
I think the end result is going to look great.
-
Thank you again for this pattern i will be looking for a couple others as well what would you charge to do them if i decide to i would me looking for a residebt evil and a labyrinth
-
I'm not here for money and I don't always get it right. Your best bet would be to ask the group and see what comes out of it. You're bound to get more than one option to choose from.

I'm brand new to this compound cutting aspect of scroll sawing but am totally fascinated with it!! I certainly don't understand how it works. here is my idea for one but didn't know before hand if this would work. does both images have to match as far as height and width? and will it make a difference if the images are one way or the other(upside down) from the other side?(i hope i'm making sense). thanks for any help, Ray

Hi Ray,
The way they are facing is only important if that's the way you want to see them. The way they are in the picture is fine. They should be the same height or you will have bits of wood where you really don't want them. Also, the images need to be the size of the wood you are going to use, so the tennis player would need to be the height and width of the face and the Tennis words would need to be the length and width of the side. So the wording would need to match the picture in size exactly. The starting point of the cross stroke on the T would need to line up with the bottom of the foot and the outer edges of the S will need to line up with the top of the head. The biggest problem you'll face with the text, however, is that it is not connected. The whole thing will fall apart . Try using a different font. Just remember, you are cutting a 3D piece out of timber. You will only get the black parts after you have cut, all of the white is wasted.
I hope this helps.

So essentially you'd be looking for elongated patterns. That shouldn't present too much of a challenge. What subject would you like?
-
From what I could find out it's just a pattern cut into a log, that's had it face removed. I'd figure you'd remove the face with a bandsaw and possibly the back as well, if you wanted to layer it. I found this while looking:

Not sure yet. Strikes me as an interesting project. I was wondering how long it might take to do it. Every time I look at the picture I'm more interested in doing it. It would certainly get jaws flapping when people saw it.
