I work out of a one car garage with a serious budget constraint. Most of my frames are from good will. I have no router, ban saw, table saw or much else. Making a frame is just out of bounds right now.

I am wondering how people frame their portraits, I am finding that I end up to thick for the frame, do you leave the glass out, put another piece over the back or some other method. I would love to know.
-
I think I will have to improve my skills quite a bit before I attempt to do something like that. Great job.
-
Great work, I can relate to the family obligations keeping out of the shop, I hope all is well and that you get to spend all the time you want in the shop. Keep up the great work.

Your cartoon intarsia are great, I have been preparing to do a rainbow dash in a similar fashion for my daughter.

I ended up picking up some Wood Goop, I applied it and bound it with a rubber band (see picture) after I took the rubberband off the next day and it worked pretty well. I have a slight gap that will need filling on one of the contact points but that I can deal with.

Great job, a wonderful piece that will be greatly appreciated. what do you use for the background color?
-
I was just going through some older posts and found yours and I have to say that is an incredibly impressive piece. congrats on finishing it.
-
Great puzzle, I like the shape of the pieces, especially the tail that travels through most of the body. Very cool.

I'm in Wisconsin and I think I need one of these too, with a heater attached. I work in my unheated garage and in the last weeks I have needed to take my pieces to my parents house and spray in their basement (I'm in an apartment) I can barely scroll lately and will likely have to stop for the season soon.

Roly, that looks really great, I will consider doing this if I need to, but I would still like to keep it as a single piece. I picked up some wood goop, I could not find a CA glue with an activator at any of the local shops, I think it should work.
-
Fantastic patterns, and fine cutting.
-
Those are great, where did you get the pattern? or did you make them yourself? I have not tried 3d yet, maybe soon I will have to give it a try.
-
Thanks for all the great tips, I feel more confident now that I will be able to save it. If I had more time etc. maybe I would redo it but I have to much to do and very limited time that I can work on my saw. I will go get some CA glue and give that a try. I will repost when I have completed the process so you can all see the results. How will the glue affect oiling and spraying with poly. I have no intention to use any stain on this.

That's fabulous, great job.

Help, I was just going to do some finish sanding on this cross for my sister and it dropped out of my hands and fell about two feet and broke into 3 pieces. I attempted to glue two pieces together using Elmer's wood Max glue but no matter how I tried I could not hold it with enough pressure to make it stick because it is so delicate. Please help, your my only hope.
-
Thank you all for you kind comments, I hope to have many more pieces for you to view and critique.
-
what type of paint or stain did you use? I'm curious because as a new user of Baltic birch I am exploring different ways to stain or color it. I am working on a few ornaments as well and might go with colors on some rather than stain.

I got my first scroll saw off of craigs list a little over two months ago and fell in love with it. I made this portrait from a photo of my brother in law with his son the day he was born. It is my first portrait and will be given to him for Christmas. Overall I am very pleased with the outcome, I know a few things that I will need to watch for on my next one. I look forward to your comments and constructive criticisms.
