Made this pattern that I done last week into a shadow box, seem it is a lot clearer then the one I post before. H Botas pattern.

A wonderful pattern by Mahendra that perfectly captures the character of the shepherd in the picture. Framing happens tomorrow.

This is another pattern by H Botas. These will join the elephants that I posted recently on my market table this weekend. Cheers Peter

...sometimes the problem is us. 1" pine, Minwax Espresso stain finish. Used a....Pegas #5MG blade, I believe, because its what I had in the saw at the time. (hint...replace the lower-case letters with the actual numbers: ID10T)

A grade school teacher in Heppner, Oregon where we lived for 15 years before we moved to Arizona, told us last month that she retired at the end of last year. She is a good friend and continues to give of herself to so many people. She is always the one that volunteers for just about everything that is in need of another body. Her statement to me was, "Now I will have more time for the little ones at church to help them learn about God. My wife and I both love her a lot and she has spent a lot of time at our house, when we lived there, having diner with us or using our outdoor fire pit to conduct a fun time for others and to sing songs and roast products. Always a good time and everyone was always welcome to come and enjoy. I know this plaque does not fit her ways much and is pretty masculine. but I think she will love it and cherish the fact that we cared enough to make this memorial of HER retirement special by giving her this little Item This is a Sue Mey design, cut with BB ply and finished with semi gloss spray.

Back to bowls - here is one more new bowl, last one was at April Birch plywood, recommended thickness - 1/4 inch Video of making scroll saw bowl Bowl Pattern

Over the years I have been on a lot of forums because of varied interests. This is the friendliest I have ever been on. Just stick around, we need you here!

Thank you Bobscroll for this pattern .My friend sure wanted it and gave me an Edward grant for my efforts,thank you sir for the pattern.

In my 24 x 36 garage, I threaded heavy plastic blue tarp on a cable and divided off the work area. Was able to keep the area nice and comfy with just a small wood stove.

I now have it with an other program but just to learn Inkscape more I will also make it there

Click on the 'Node Editor' and then click on your image. It will show all the 'nodes' that make up your image. Right click and drag across the lines you wish to remove. Drag across the 'top line' and then press 'delete' and repeat with the other lines.

I read through all the posts on this thread and I'm not seeing anything negative. It was a post about a pattern removal tool, and some followups on how others remove patterns. I think it was a nice start to a discussion. I agree with Ray. Sometimes when things are written in a forum, there isn't any body language or tonal inflection to add context. So, there are times when an post is misconstrued. So, I think it's is good to keep in mind when we read or write a response; how are we interpreting it, or how can what we're writing be interpreted. With that said, I think SSV is a pretty friendly group, especially compared to other groups. We have our moments where things get derailed a bit. But I feel like we're all here to help and be encouraging of others.

Gave her free "keep the faith in walmart.now she orders !

Steve Good pattern,a request for a butterfly &rose for a urn I did the name to but forgot to take a picture 3/8 purple heart cut with a scroll reverse #3 roughly 4 hours cut time

To make a temporary wall, you need a frame for each 4x8 sheet, or at least one running frame with vertical studs to secure the 4x8 insulation sheet to. the problem I have with this, is that it is not really temporary the way I think of temporary, lot of construction to both put it up and take it down, and while have have a lot of space - that temporary wall has to be stored somewhere. The wall needs to be secured to the floor and the ceiling or rafters too. We used to sell at a trade fair where the booth was inside old turkey barns, no heat no A/C, a tarp hanging (not even to the top of the rafters) held the heat in to our space just fine from a 5# propane heater bottle. I would go with a tarp, what the hell if it does not work you have a tarp and you can always nail up some 2x4s

I'll admit I am in this hobby only a couple of years, but I have never seen an Ex with a painted table, assuming you are talking about the flat surface you put the wood that is being cut - I would use steel wool or a random orbit sander with 400 grit or higher Can you post a pic?

A Great pattern and wonderful cutting.

You sure didn't waste any time getting that cut. Terrific job. Great pattern Mahendra also.

I would consider 2" x 48" x 96" Rigid styrofoam insulation. Would require minimal framing easily removable and can be repurposed for what it is intended for. At $21 or so per sheet is cost effective, light, cuts easily and may reflect light better than some options.

I have almost the same situation, having a house built with 24 by 29 garage. I am seriously thinking of heavy plastic for a divider which would be more for AC as it has been very hot this year in NC. 2 hours in the garage and soaked in sweat. Bob

terrific job

Exellent cutting! After this project you can say that you are intermediate level scroller, not a beginner

Lovely piece Les it will look amazing when finished and framed. Look forward to seeing it.

So pretty, l love the eyes

Thank you Dick, your words are much appreciated. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have learned so much from all you lovely people in the Village, it's amazing how freely everyone gives their knowledge.

I am a bit further with Inkscape, just have to figure out how to remove the outside lines. BUT I did it with a total different program I have and that kinda works like Coral Draw so I have made something....I say something hahahaha because now I gonna saw it to see how that will turn out

Those are cuter than a button!

My daughter called today and requested an intarsia piece from me, so I found the pattern and got it cut out and ready to start shaping. I will post it when it is finished Dick heppnerguy

Nice job. It does really look like his photo. Mahendra is always so happy to help with his patterns. He and I conversed for quite some time and then I guess I bored him to death as he quit responding to my emails. Dick heppnerguy

A friend told about a tool called Scotty Peeler. Librarians use them to remove stickers in books. Just google it and you will find a lot of places to get them. I use a Zyron machine to put my patterns on and this tool peels the pattern off so easy . Bob

Very cool Les!

I posted this on the topic page that Don put up but I guess it won't show up here. So, this is what I wrote: Well, I have spent the afternoon trying make CorelDraw do what Steve does. NO CAN DO! I installed the trial version, couldn't make the contour tool work. I chatted with their support person who swore that the trial version wasn't crippled. But, as far as I can see it is. So, next I tried to figure out Inkscape/Dynamic Offset/XML Editor. I don't have a clue how to use any of that. So, I guess I will have to wait for a tutorial that I can follow. DANG!!

Nice work Dick. Hope her retirement is busy and happy!

Very good love um, I think the hinge at the back shape could be folded and sunk the hinge then would be hidden & look better just a thought I know it would take more time. Roly.

With my "fine" typing-- A really funny bunch of things sometimes appear! I always see them AFTERWARDS! That is why so many of my comments etc.; are "edited" later.

I've just seen this and I think it's absolutely beautiful

I feel the same sometimes but most of the time it is just good conversation. Keep in mind that we are not all sitting around a pot bellied stove chatting. The written word is very different than the spoken word. Granted, there are a couple of folks here who come off as contentious and like to promote their way of thinking but generally I find that this is the friendliest forum site that I have ever been a part of. No smartasses that I have found. Try to see through what you are reading. Many points of view on a subject doesn't mean we are arguing. Debating? Maybe. I have been a member for about 4 years. Starting out as a total novice. I asked a lot of questions and got a ton of good useable advice. Stick around and give us a chance. Just figure out who seems to bother you and then put them on "ignore". I am glad you brought the subject up so it could be discussed.

Let it "FLOW" Miran...Just go with it and enjoy!!!, I use Inkscape because it's free! there is a lot in Inkscape to learn, I still don't know everything on Inkscape yet!...It's fun, Bob

Well done Kevin! You did a very neat job on the letters, Glad you got some $$$ for it!, Thank you for showing us, Bob

nice job

nice job

Nice work, the black really makes the design work

Good ones Rockytime.

Maybe I'm being simple-minded, but why not make some boxes the size and shape you need out of some wood and hardboard? Something that would hold up to the rough treatment you give them.
