This is a Russ Beard pattern which has been cut many, many times. I see it often and is very popular. Russ is one of my favorite Designers. I would rather hang a calendar from the local grain elevator or feed and seed store in my home than Picasa. My wife does not agree but it works for a country bumpkin like me. I love cutting rural things. The pattern is cut on 1/8" laminated BB. I drilled 1108 holes and saw run time was 11.5 hours. That's only the time the saw was actually running. Then there is drill time and time for changing from hole to hole. The image is fairly small. About 10.5 x 7.5 inches if memory serves me right. I used #2/0 Super Pike blades. Enjoyed cutting every hole.

This was a fun cut

A couple of months ago my daughters friend asked for a Dale Cooper portrait, so I asked for help and Mahendra kindly obliged but could not do a pattern of the picture she wanted but did one of an alternative photo. Any way the girl was moving at the time and a lot of things went wrong for her so while we were waiting my daughter started messing around to see if she could make a pattern and low and behold she did. I had to do a bit of tinkering to get it cuttable but hey she loved it. She got the finished piece yesterday and she was over the moon with it. So thank you to Mahendra @multitom for going to the trouble of trying to help me. This was cut from 2.5mm bamboo and is an A3 ( 11.7" x 16.5" ) and the frame is store brought. Marg

Well I know the group. Never a fan but order is a order.

"Welcome" sign finished. The pattern is by Keith Fenton and found in CWWC March 2014. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 and #5 Skip blades. The wood is 1/2" Poplar 8" x 14" and backed with Baltic Birch plywood stained blue. Comments welcome.

I made this for my daughter for her birthday and room addition. She doesn't know it, but it's on the way to Florida. Her and he husband converted a storage room to a sort of family room in the back of her house and she mentiond she needs some stuff to decorate the walls with. So I thought I would surprise her and her husband with this. I have made items for her in the past so she is familiar with Intarsia. I hope she likes it. Wood used Western Red Cedar Canary Wood Walnut Cherry Aspen BB Plywood Red Heart Finished with 5 coats of Deft Satin Lacquer

A Sue Mey pattern. I have made about 6 of these. This is one that has been hanging out in the shop for several months so I decided to finish it up yesterday. 1/2" Walnut and 1/8" BBP. Cut with a FD UR1 with Arm-r-seal from General Finish as the clear coat.

Well after Therapy this morn,[Bad Shoulder] I,m gonna try to back in my shop and do some Serious cutting. I have only been doing some light cutting, shapes then painting them. But my therapy is coming along fairly well, so with their permission I want to do some serious cutting, really make some sawdust. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The Butterfly box is a birthday present for the Mother-In Law, I'm quite pleased how these both turned out The boxes are Mahogany and the inlay thanks to the recommendations from you folks is Maple

Just ordered a new Hegner 22" with the stand and accessory package. Hopefully I'll only cry once. I'll post updates as time allows.

One of the greats, Ray Charles. Done in 1/2" Red Oak, around 6" X 8".

Cut this out while the tree guys were cutting down our trees around the house. The wife saw this pattern and wanted it for the guest bathroom. Except for one moment of not paying attention -which will be fixed - it came out OK. Now it's her baby to do with as she will. 9" x 13 1/2" using 1/4 Birch and #5 Pegas blade.

Now, I know absolutely nothing about bikes, but a friend asked if I could do this for him. I've never painted anything before as I prefer plain wood and plain backers however I said I'd give it a try. Just hope he likes it as it's going to the USA and I don't want it back. It's a gift so he can do with it as he wishes. It was, to me, a pain in the backside to get right, so I doubt I'll do another one

Hi all This is a plaque im working on the a strongman / women competition.

Finally done! 50 patterns - US states. I tried to make detailed but not to difficult contours of states, size is 9 x 5,5 inches. I cut only one pattern - Texas, I used 1/6 inch birch plywood and wood stains for finishing (recommend to use 3 stains or 3 types of wood) Video of making US state project US states patterns

I thought I would post this group of cuts so you did not need to read the same thing over and over. These are all patterns converted from ZM Creations Illustrations. All of these portraits were completed in a similar way with a smaller sized 5/32” thick solid core plywood cut panel affixed to a larger 1/4” thick BB plywood backer. Each backer was sealed, then coated with the white Krylon Spray Gesso (Acrylic Paint primer) and the 1” borders were painted in various rattle can Krylon Fusion All-In-One Matt colors. The areas under the open cut areas were colored with Acrylic Art Paints, using the original illustrations as a guide. As usual, each panel was protected with multiple coats of clear gloss spray Lacquer. Each cut, being quite simple, was completed in less than one 3-4 hour session. That was a one per day but painting and framing added many hours to each. Cuttings were completed with Pegas #1 MGT R and/or #2/0 spiral blades. Each panel was set loose in a simple 1 3/4” wide Poplar frame that I applied a coat of pre-stain conditioner followed by a coat of Minwax Brazilian Gel Stain and protected with coat of Spray satin Polyurethane. Peacock: 9” x 10 ¼” Maple Toucan: 9”X12” Maple Birds3: 9” x 10 3/4” Maple Birds4: 11 1/2” x 9” Birch Bird5: 9” x 9” Birch Bird6: 6” x 11 3/4” Maple The following .zipx file contains all of these patterns including the Simple Eagle. Birds - ZM Creations.zipx Hope you enjoy!

The original pattern was clockmans. Jim Blume revised it to cut 8.5x11. it pushed the limits that small

Beautiful work. Mahogany and Maple are perfect for each other. Inlaid boxes like those will be cherished forever.

WOW that is awesome. You certainly did a very impressive job. Well done. Marg

I am a HD rider, but I'm not into skulls. That being said, it is a great piece, very well cut and colored nicely. Most HD riders (i'm an exception) would l;ove to hang that piece in their man/lady biker cave. If you think that pattern was a PITA, this is the one I did for my son a number mounths ago (while I was still a real newbie):

I made a couple. one derived from a quilt pattern, one a Judy Gale Roberts pattern

I cut these out of BBP with a FD UR1. The backer is some 1/8 scrap cheap ply that I had laying around. The first one I done several months ago. A co-worker saw it and wanted one. I made another but just a bit bigger. I'm not a frame maker.. at all! I found another similar image online that I wanted to cut but it needed some tweaking. Thanks for the help Birchbark!

Followup on my previous Guess who. Although I'm not particulary into cutting people portraits, I had found this free illustration pattern .svg of Marilyn on-line and thought I would give it a try. And , although it was stated to be a scroll saw pattern, it had many "islands" and overlapping shading. It took me a number of hours to make it cutable. The patternsize is 9" x 13" centered on a 5/32" x 12" x 16" Birch solid core plywood panel and affixed to a 1/8" x 12" x 16" BB ply backer painted black. The pattern was a relatively quick cut completed with Pegas #2/0 blade. The finished panel was protected with multiple coats of clear gloss Lacquer. The panel is set loose in a simple 1 3/4" wide Poplar custom frame that is stained with Minwax Sedona Red and protected witn clear satin spray Polyurethane. Thanks to all who replied to the previous post and reccognized her immediately just from jsut her eyes. . .

Hi all Not sure if I posted my attempt at Steve goods easter bunny

Have no idea, but will send you each of the .pdf files in a PM.

Ooooh, lucky you! You're gonna love it. It's top of the line!

Hope you like it as much as I like mine... I am sure you well.. Took me a little while to get it all figured out, but now I would not part with it. There is good info in the manual....

Breathtaking!!!

Gorgeous work!

Sorry Joe, I saw this yesterday and I thought I'd commented on it then, great bit of work, I've been and downloaded the pattern, as the wife saw it and wants one for our caravan at the coast, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

Sorry to here about your arm, I have my lights and saw and everything else hooked up so when I turn off the switch to go outside, everything is off. Tho there has been a few times I forgot to turn off the switch when I went out,

Harley isn't the only "cruiser" bike. I just sold (a huge regret) a cruiser that wasn't a Harley, that was faster than 90% of Harley's, better looking than most and cost much less than any Harley. No ill will intended, just a lot of people think they are the only cruisers.

I love the timer on the Wen. It was just weird because I knew I had set the timer and then a day later, it was running again. I thought I was loosing my marbles!!

great job

Thank you. If you're interested I posted the pattern in the New Pattern section.

You did a very impressive job Frank. Marg

Thanks will do. I just realized this is in the wrong category, should be in the q&a section.
