Cut this one today for a birthday gift. Used the "pencil sketch method."

Like a lot of people, I find staying on line when cutting can be a pain in the a##! A while back I downloaded Paint.net (free graphics software). When cutting a standard (in the black) pattern I tend to drift even when blade selection, tension, etc. is correct. I tried something different. I took the original pattern and turned it into a "pencil sketch" using Paint. I went from a hog butcher to a surgeon when cutting this way. The improvement in control was amazing. I believe, like target shooting, you pick a spot on the target and aim as opposed to shooting at the whole thing. I believe your brain allows you to focus more on the thin line than a larger black area. Might not work for everyone but it works for me. Added an example... link...http://www.getpaint.net/index.html

Love the detail! Right on the money.

I believe in the K.I.S.S. principle. If I can cut it and keep the main focus/subject intact, then it works for me. Sometimes complicated details are called for. I've been lucky this year with requests for scroll art. If I can cut em quick and keep the people happy, then more cash in the pot Not too long before I can buy a new Excaliber SS.

Another Xmas request. Original pattern by Wild Bill
-
Came out great...Looks good and practical too!
-
That came out awesome! He will appreciate it. As a navy vet...Thanks for taking the time to make it!
-
Came out excellent.
-
Fantastic! Great form and detail. I went back to 1/4" baltic birch ply. Has a nice light colored wood. If I need to darken, couple of coats of clear will darken. Scrolls on left were cleared, on the right no clear.
-
Man you been busy...They all look great!
-
Did another on the fly for a friend. Took the photo and used inkscape to turn it into a pencil sketch. Cut out what I thought would bear some resemblance.
-
Wonderful! Color makes it pop.
-
Great burn! Do I detect a bit of pointillism on that one? I've been known to create some smoke myself
-
Thanks all! The saw stays on the table. I use pieces of carpet remnant under the base to move it out of the way when not cutting. Too heavy to pick up.
-
Was on a deadline for this one...So grabbed a picture of the net. Had to be shipped cross country for a Xmas gift. Anyways, it was another cut on the fly.
-
Great detail and a superb cut!
-
First I want to thank Bobby for the great pattern. Finished this morning. I added the Tommy gun. After all, who is Tony Montana without some heat!

Came out great! Did you wood burn the border or stain it? -
Thanks all. Looking at it now, I could have removed the wood in the upper left hand corner to give more detail to her hair. All in all she was happy with it and I made a few bucks. I,m only $550.00 away from my new Excaliber 16 scroll saw.

Asked to do a M.M. for a Xmas present. Wasn't a pattern, just a picture I found. Spent the morning trying to figure out what to cut? I wanted some resemblance to the pic. I guess you'd call it "cutting on the fly."
-
Extraordinary detail. Yep...On the complex ones I'm going "only a few more cuts."
