I had some very thin aluminum in the garage so I decide to cut a Kokkopelli for myself. Didn't turn out too bad, just wish I had made it bigger. It was cut with Jewelers blades. thanks @Charlie E for the pattern. Marg

That looks great Ken. Is the jig saw template yours? Marg

Simple and looks good, what more can you ask for? Marg

Think I may have just been having a very bad week. All good now. Marg

Poplar is not easy to get around here, have not seen any that big in about 10 years and the thicker ply is cheap and nasty that's why I use pine and 3mm A grade ply. The pine I was using I had already cut some off and used it, no problems what so ever, so I figured it was the paint. Marg

This one almost broke me. My son in law asked for it for his birthday, yeah no problem says I. Well after cutting the back twice and the front twice, I almost said no more I give up, yes I was ready to walk away from scrolling, it just got to me. I cut the back and started to spray it but the paint bubbled, so I let it dry and sanded it off. I resprayed and it bubbled again, so I went to buy some more paint only to find out that that color was no longer made. I ended up buying engine paint. That worked fine. I cut and painted the front and cut the cardboard center and then the day before his birthday I went to put it all together. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the front was too big for the back. Somehow one of the patterns that should have gone in the recycling ended up being cut, so I had to cut another piece. The only one I had no problems with was the cardboard center. Well it all done now and I will give it to him on Sunday.....He had better like it. The back is 3/4 inch pine and the front is 3mm ply. I used Olson Mack 3 blades for the back and Reverse Tooth 2/0 on the ply. Oh and the pattern was by scrollarific. Marg

Congratulations, what a generous wife you have or does she just want you out of the house more????????????????????????? Marg

You did an excellent job. Nice to see new/different John Wayne patterns. Marg

Welcome back. I love this pattern and cutting, can't wait to see more. Well done. Marg

That is one of the nicest owl patterns that I have see. You did a great job, it's lovely. Marg

He is very cute. Great pattern and cutting, well done guys. Marg

I love this pattern. Sorry Charlie but I thought that the wood detracted from the cutting, perhaps it's different in person. Marg

They all look great, I like them all. Well done. I still hate lettering even after 21 years of scrolling. Marg

Excellent work. Marg

I love it. Fun, unusual and recycling at it's finest. Well done. Marg

What great fun. One little chap seems to be painting himself as well. And the end result is excellent, they will look at them and remember this day for ever. Marg

You did a great job, well done. Marg

Go to the chemist and ask for a small sharps container (they are free), great for storing old or broken blades. You jinxed your self bragging about not breaking a blade. Marg

Love it. Great work Kirk. Marg

Beautiful. Marg

I have no idea who he his but the portrait looks great. Marg

Very cute. Well done. Marg

It looks terrific Denny. Marg

That is great your daughter will love it. Marg

She did an awesome job and the fact that she had a preference in saws is outstanding. A moment to cherish. Marg
