Great work and detail.

Found this graphic a while back (freebie). Ran it thru GIMP and Inkscape to create the pattern added the Chinese symbol for tiger and cut it today. Cut from 1/4" BB Plywood. Used FD-PSR5 blades to cut. [attachment=0]tigerweb1.jpg[/attachment]

Hitachi CW40...Around $169.00 dollars at Lowe's. Comes w/ light, blower and stand. It's been good to me so far.

Great cuts. I still don't have the feel for the spiral blades.

That's kool. Never seen one like that. Would be interesting with some colored sand in the bulb.

My wifes been repainting the apartment so I have been restricted to doing "clean stuff" as she put it So I finished up some projects I had laying around. [attachment=3]wolf1.jpg[/attachment] Wolf puzzle [attachment=2]lighthweb.jpg[/attachment] Lighthouse [attachment=1]anchor1.jpg[/attachment] Weather station [attachment=0]ring1.jpg[/attachment] The ring I cut a while back...I wanted to try the Inlace on it. Boy! This stuff is potent! Keep your face at least 10 feet away from the open can Talk about a contact buzz I'm suprised they don't have any warnings on the can or instructions.

Great piece. Nice clean cuts.

That came out great. I would hate to spill anything on it.

Great cut. Definitely brings a smile to your face

Beautiful cut

Came out great. I like the graphics background.

The pattern I made on GIMP. This was my rendition based on a black and white photo from Wikipedia...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sitti ... _edit2.jpg

Finished this one today. Cut from 1/4" BB birch ply. Used FD-PSR5 blade. [attachment=0]sitbul1.jpg[/attachment]

Hi All: Anyone interested in a seperate puzzle thread (I think that's what you call it). I'm quite sure if there's enough interest we can ask Travis to create one. There's a multitude of styles for puzzle cutting. I'm in!

Beautiful job! The cut and fit are exceptional

Amazing work! The details are superb. That one should be hanging at Quantico

I thought of a drill press for drilling myself. Unfortunately I couldn't find a traditional benchtop that was small enough (space issue). I ended up buying the Dremel plunge router attachment which works fine for what I need. Dremel also has a "work station" attachment that you can adjust for "angle" drilling. http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Attachments ... pid=220-01

Those came out great. Where did you find the inlace kit?

The coin was interesting to cut. That little bugger gets hot fast. I was originally going to try a penny. With my big hands I would have ended up with finger pieces

As mentioned, the scrollsaw is a very versatile tool. It allows me a creative outlet that I can use on a daily basis. From fretwork to portraits there is no limit on what you can imagine and create. In addition, because I have limited space to work in, the scroll saw fits the bill perfectly.

Hi All: The design was an old Xmas card we had received over the holidays. I used a 1/4" BB ply backer. I used Steve Good's method of attaching the photo to the wood using spray adhesive to the wood and the back of the picture. After about two hours I applied two coats of Mod Podge to the picture. I let that dry overnight. The puzzle measured 7" x 5" . I cut the puzzle using the FD-SP (superior puzzle) blades from Mike's Workshop. These blades cut great and give you a really tight fit on your puzzle. For the puzzle piece pattern, I went for broke and tried Carter Johnsons free style cutting technique. Needless to say Carter makes it look real easy. When he suggests that you put the puzzle together as you cut the pieces, follow his suggestion. I spent 20 minutes just trying to place the half dozen loose pieces I cut. I ended up with approximately 85+ pieces when I finished. [attachment=2]bear1.jpg[/attachment] While I was at it, I figured I would try and make a puzzle out of a coin. I attached a quarter to a piece of 1/4 ply using some clear packing tape and cut it using the used FD-SP blade I had on the saw. I broke the blade due to overheating. So I set up a new blade, slowed down the speed and feed and no problem. [attachment=1]qtr2.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=0]qtr1.jpg[/attachment]

Here's my submission for the "cut" puzzle contest. Cut from one of the Xmas cards we received. [attachment=0]bear1.jpg[/attachment]

Here's my submission for the puzzle pattern. I'm not really sure on the particulars for the entry (theme, size, etc.). I thought I would offer an abstact design. I created this using MS Picture It. I call it "Eggs n Toast." See what you can do with the right medication [attachment=0]eggs n toast.jpg[/attachment]

I did a search also...Basically found the same info. It does appear to operate the same as an Eclipse scroll saw http://eclipsesaw.com/ If the Kraft is out of production you might be in for some serious restoration (if you can find the parts). As mentioned you probably be better off purchasing a new saw.

I'ts been mostly 1/4" BB ply. for portraits. Poplar for keychains and other small stuff. Madrone for larger projects like clocks. I am going to pick up some cherry to try out on another idea I'm working on.
