thank you DW, i need to get crackin on a bowl or two like you do so well!

I know exactly what your talking about Smitty.I could not get a convex cut like that if I tried.!

Mr.Pattern maker of Daytom Texas is showing his stuff again!Your climbing the ladder real fast,Watch out Mahendra and Granpa,lolI'm very happy your able to grasp this talent as it's beyond me how to do it!Great job!

A Precious reminder of the good times they've had! That frame shows your love of Zeller .Pet portraits are unique in bringing them back in another dimension.Good job it!

These are going quicker now that i'm used to the procedure to keep from breaking them.Trere from http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/

Yeah pictures, please Marge!

Cool me three !

Welcome friend,I started out with letter in names and word art.No pumpkins yet, but maybe!,lol Best thing i ever did was find this club.It's loaded with and I mean loaded with tons of fantastic folks from around the world ready, willing and able to help your scrolling endeavors excell.Stop in every day and zoom thru the forum to see what's being talked about shared and asked for.Enjoy looking around everywhere in the village that's what it's for!

COOL!

Your at the limit for sizes Greg,Try a skip tooth as it cleans out lots of wood as it cut for you.Maybe even slowing down the machine to minimize the heat causeing the blade to bend and lose it's tensile.Thick hardwoods a tough for the scroll saw and cause unwanted wear on the machine.It really shortens the life of the machine.Cut as much as you can with a band saw on the outside cuts if you can which will give a little more life to your saw,Mikes has a blade called "the blade that could"That will and is for the hardest woods you'll encounter.I used plenty and can't keep them stocked.There not the best for tight turns as they are 1/4" wide. p.s you could, but a band saw blade and cut 5" pieces and use those in your saw if it's able to hold them.There's times i use them on my dw788.they come in1/8" sizes too for scrolling, which may help you ,but again tight turns are not good.Another thing you could do is go into the turns and widen the turn so your blade can turn easier I do this a lot on coin cutting as the heat build up when doing tight turns will break the blade everytime if i don't.

Lost but now found.Creatures of habit ! Ya came back! Great !Nows the time to catch up on all the village's happenings.We lost Larry for a while not sure why and keefies back along with you!Were family again.The coffee's on helpey selfey.I see you still have king Midas's touch.Don't stay away from the saw too long .Lets see you put some notches on your saw now to make up for lost quality time,lol Glad to see you again.Looks like you haven't lost your touch ,Good job mate grrr8 job!

Somebody's going to scoop this one up quick for themselves!Don't you just hate to part with your creations.Boy ,The more interesting the grain the better the bowls look.Give you something to look at if on the dinner table,lol Yes, I agree you a wiz at these fabulous bowls you're doing.Show room quality too.Good job,Atta girl!

I've enlarged two patterns to 40" x 20" and even still there were [places i had to be careful with.One pattern was Grampa dog Missy and the other was a gorilla by a member that I can't recall his name I think both patterns are in the pattern library .One was 513 drill holes and the other 535..Dick I can see the detail in your project that would be a hazard for you.Glad you found a way to get it done.Nice job!A winner never quits!

This show was loaded with laugh's.Gator you brought back fond times with you great work here.Your patterning skills have jumped up a few notch's now,good for you .Nice pattern you made !

FRANCISCO,I've missed seeing this one in SSV.Thanks for doing justice to Paul here.Everygirls favorite too!Great control of this famous fellow you're showing us!

A spirals dream, but you took the other way with a straight blade which give so much more sharpness an clean cut definition. Your choice of background colors is hot! Really makes your work pop out!Good job my friend

Thanks dick to each his own,I was incurable impressed with letters when i first joined and one member overwhelmed me with his lettering skills.So practice makes better for me.Hah,lol I thought the scrollers used paper stencils to do lettering like i do for signs.Not even close.I couldn't imagine how in the world the letters were so perfect in everyway.Till i realized it was computer print out pasted on wood.That was the start of it all.And to this day i am equally impressed with everyones lettering skills in the village.Just floats my boat to see someone else tackle lettering.Thanks for looking and commenting!

You did Great and took it to the next notch up for added benefits to the user.Extreme detail was the idea here .something special for that someone special.For being a first timer you get 4 stars and milk and cookies for your dubious efforts

Awe inspiring hand crafted works display.A real show stopper conversation pieces.I'm sure they were talking about plenty as folks went home and relayed the day events to friends(you should have seen this)!There have been several examples of hard earn work in the village and this is one of them.Wish I could trade places with you for an hour or two to feel the beam of exzileration of atta boy ! :cool:

Aha,The word art king,hum, that's got a ring i like!Thanks Dick !

I like your wow Mr. Lawson,Got to have one of those everyday,lol To know i'm doing things right!

Thank you Fay!For bringing us your talent to ssv!

You know Marge i trusted my friend to pay me good like the last pieces i sold him ,i don't know what was going thru his head on this one but he's very religious so it went to a good home.Money is no object for him,Just one of those things i guess ,win some lose lots! lol

i think Trojan was my high school nickname?This one is really kool!
