Travis Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 When I was a kid, one of my favorite things was making our Valentine's boxes in school so our classmates could put in Valentine's cards. It was so much fun to go through and see what cards your classmates got you. So for me, Valentine's Day isn't only about romantic love. It's also about showing the people in your life how much you appreciate them. A time to check in with friends, both old and new. Connect with family just to say you're thinking of them. A little special something for the kids or grandkids to say "I love you." Post a project you made for your sweetheart, a good friend, or someone in your family to show how much you care. It's open to interpretation, so get creative. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kris Martinson Posted February 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 4 I stepped way out of the box for a Valentine's project requested by my church to honor all the members for contributions they made throughout last year. So I made these signs painted onto 3' x 2' canvases. jollyred, barb.j.enders, Scrappile and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post meflick Posted February 9 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 9 Here’s an older one I did for hubby one year. It’s a Steve Good compound cut pattern. You can find it on his blog here: https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2012/10/this-is-pattern-i-used-in-yesterdays.html Looks like he has a newer one with more words (Love you to Pieces) that he shared last year just before Valentine’s Day.

Stretch Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 This a Steve Good Design. I made it from 1/4-inch maple veneered MDF (left over from some floating shelves I made), this was the first time I ever scrolled anything MDF, and I was shocked at how evenly you cut through it. I have excellent dust collection so that was not a bother. Being MDF I had to paint it. I like to place things like this around the house somewhere and wait to see how long it takes my wife to notice it.

Popular Post dgman Posted February 14 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14 (edited) I made two for my wife this year. The first is a Steve Good pattern. Done in 1/2” Cherry. The backer and base is Sapele. The beard is 1/8” Aspen. The nose is 1/4” Ceader. The second is from the Spring issue of ScrollSaw Woodworking and Crafts. The girl is 3/4” Poplar, the base is 1//2” Cherry. The birds are Purpleheart, Cherry, Redheart, Mahogany and Wenge. Every wood was from the scrap bin. Everything cut with FD Ultra Reverse #1 and #3.

jollyred Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Here is the one I made for my wife. I made the pattern from a photo on Pinterest. The wood is Eastern Red Cedar, finished with rattle can lacquer. Of course, I got it done the day before Valentine's Day, which is unusual for me, as the finish is usually still drying the morning of Valentine's Day.
