    Nice looking dishes Jerry, how well did you enjoy cutting on an angle? The cross looks nice also, how large is it? Len

    I'd love to get my hands on a pallet or two of that wood, it seems to be a reasonable price. Len

    Jim, I know nothing about the Shark Tooth brand of blades, I've never tried using them. The Scroll online blades by Judy Gayle Roberts, aren't all that new they've been around for a few years. Personally, I've never used them either, but, there's a reason for that. I read up on these blades before I settled on FD brand, I read somewhere that these blades were for intarsia work. Which I didn't have a hard time believing, seeing as how intarsia work is JGR's specialty. Len

    Blake, it's a very nice looking clock, you did a fantastic job. I've never heard of BB plywood delaminating, are you sure it was BB? Most types of birch wood are very hard to stain, usually, it is painted or just clear coated. Len

    Paul, it's very nice of you to think of helping others, you're to be commended for doing so. Seeing as how it's a variable speed saw, it will be easier for a new scroller to learn on. Thanks for doing this. Len

    Wow Richard, that last picture is a scary one. Your new mask is different then the one I bought, can you wear a faceshield when wearing this respirator? I use mine at the lathe also, so any one that I would buy would need to fit under the faceshield when turning. Do you have a faceshield that you could try it with? Len

    Steve, that's two very nice looking clocks, I'm sure your SIL was pleased with her gift. Len

    Bill something's missing in this posting, but it looks good in your other upload.... Len

    Nicely done Bill, I'm sure your daughter will be impressed with it. I like the two little side pieces, they're cool looking. Len

    Great tip for someone just starting out, most experienced scrollers can make the 90* turns without issues. Len

    Ray, this is a very good attempt at a cuttable pattern, but, there is a big problem with it. If you take a good look at the lefthand side of the pattern, you'll see that it is a large floater that will fall away from the cutting. It is an easy fix, and I only point it out because you're just starting out and I thought it would help when making other patterns. Len

    No John, they are not idendticle. They are very similar, and some parts are even interchangeable. But, the Delta saw is built with lower quality parts, and were built as a go between the Dewalt and lower cost saws. This info is in a past copy of Wood magazine, they did a write-up on the saw when they were first introduced to the market. I'm not sure which Wood magazine issue it was in, but a search might find the article. I don't know what the price difference is in the two saws nowadays, but, they are supposed to cost less then the Dewalt. Does anyone know the price difference today, if you do, how much is it? Len

    Smart thinking, it would make the sanding job a lot easier. And the good thing about it, is that you were being efficient. Len

    Iggy, it's great that you're going to do this, I just hope that it doesn't end up costing Mr. Byler in the end. Most pattern designers that sell patterns to distributors like The Wooden Teddy Bear, have contracts stating that they will not distribute their patterns in any other way, then through them. Did you ask him if he had any of these types of contracts, he may have forgotten about it if he's been selling to them for years? I will be very interested in what you will have to offer us, is there any way to see what else he might have a pattern of? He might have patterns that don't interest you, but, they might be very interesting to others is why I ask. Len

    Two very nice looking pieces Dwayne, your youngest should be pleased with them. Len

    Nicely done Chad, your buddy will be impressed. Len

    Bernd, you and your wife have a beautiful clock there. Both of you did outstanding jobs, first the cutting then the painting are spot on. I can well see why your wife likes it so well, I know I'm not going to be showing it to my wife until I can cut one for her. Len

    Denny, you should have more long weekends, especially, if you can get these results. You should cut a sign for the business, that lets people know without asking that the items are all handmade. Another one stating that you do personal requests, would possibly help with sales. Len

    OMG Dave, that is some amazing cutting. It is perfectly done, there's no doubting your abilities at the scroll saw. With you getting results like this, makes me think you're a master scroller. Len

    Good on you Bruce, hopefully, they stick with it. Len

    Edward, I hope it works better for you then the paper type. Len

    John, is this the type of cutting that gives you two different topics, when you look at the two opposing sides. Like, is this one a ballet dancer and a swan combined? I have a couple of books on this subject, and I've cut out a few different ones. The one I like the best, is the Salmon and Fly Fisherman. Others like it real well also, they are good sellers. Len

    Nice and quick find Paul, you're on the ball. Len

    Good for you Dick, stick with it I'm sure you'll master the skill. The owl pattern looks like an owl, so your doing a good job so far. Good luck with this endeavor, I'm sure you'll succeed and become a master pattern maker. Happy New Years to you and your family, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Len

    Don, if you're looking for something that might sell, then I recommend that you cut the dog image puzzles. They are stand up puzzles, and there's all kinds of breeds to cut. People like buying the puzzle image of their dogs, they like it even more if the puzzle has the dogs name or breed used for the puzzle pieces. There's others who sell quite a few of these puzzles, I would be making them if I lived in a more populated area. Len
