Exactly what would you like to know ? I will be more than glad to tell you . That frame the Humming Birds are in I did with Poplar and stained them with Ebony . Poplar don't work to good with lighter stains , but that is my opinion. I do frames out of Cedar and Oak also. Cedar looks real good with wildlife pictures , western pictures and native american pictures . I like Oak because you can stain it a wide variety of colors. If you want to know anything else just ask . Eagledrum70

Anytime Brett ! I appreciate you taking the time to privide me with a pattern . Like I said before you need to be advertising more then just keychains . You are very talented and it was my pleasure and honor to cut your pattern and I know my mom will Love it .Eagledrum70

Thanks Lastchance I am working on the pattern you provided . I said I would do them all and that is what I intend on doing Thanks again eagledrum70

Here is three of the four patterns that were provided to me for my Mom ! I want to thank Messman , Grampa and Oges for the great patterns and I know my Mom is going to Love them . First is Messman's I did it out of 1/8 Oak ply , next is Grampa it is done out of 1/8 Baltic Birch ply and Oges done out of 1/8 Oak ply and the last one will be out of 1/8 Baltic Birch ply and that pattern was provided by Lastchance who I want to thank also , that will be coming soon . Thanks again guys , Eagledrum70

I Love The Potpourri Box nice job Trevor . I was kinda curious about the Ebony myself if you dont mind helping out a couple of fellow scrollers. Eagledrum70

Thanks Toolbelt man and to you Oges you need to show more of what you can do because you make some awesome pattern . I have seen your work here on scrollsaw village and you need to be advertising more than just keychains. You are very talented and I wish you the best. Eagledrum70

I don't want to mislead anyone , the words were burned onto the frame . I wanted to cut it in the frame but the wood was extremely hard . Any suggestions on blades good to cut in wood like Teak ? Thanks fo comments though , Eagledrum70

I wish I could slow down , But like I said things are picking up for me and if I stick with it I very well may be able to make this my fulltime job. I haven't been able to support my family very well the last year or so and it feels great to be making pictures and atleast right now making some extra money. Unfortunately all I have is time to work on pictures . I wish I had fulltime work but I don't and I have always wanted to start my own business.I truly believe finding scrollsaw village and all of the talented people on here such as yourself Oges has made me a better scroller and given me a chance at supporting my family my way. For that I thank you and all of the other scrollers here on the village . Thank you Thank You Thank You

These are my first attempts on new Dewalt 788 . Man it is a nice saw but it's like learning how to scroll all over again. I got so use to my dremel 1680 bouncing and vibrating everywhere . The saw cuts so smooth and precise the first few cuts I made was a little tricky, but the more I cut with it I just Love the way it cuts. Eagledrum70

Nice job Edward I Love it ! Eagledrum70

Welcome to the village Karen and sorry that you had to give up things you loved to do. Scrollsawing is a great thing and very therapeutic . It has been a hobby of mine for about 9yrs. ,but here the last or so i had to go on unemployment due to construction work not doing so hot and scrooling has become my bread and butter so to speak. Like Oges said check out tutorials on Gimp in Village university ,Travis did a great job and very easy to follow. I am a good example of that , I was using Coyote stencil shop until I trid Gimp and it changed my life . Once again welcome and dont be afraid to ask anything on here everyone is very friendly and will help anyway they can. Happy Scrolling , Eagledrum70

This is a picture I did for my Mom Dot ! It is a picture of my moms sister Katherine , her nickname was Punk thats why the picture has punk on it. I did it for her for Christmas . The frame is some left over hardwood flooring from a job I did and it is Teak I believe. I just wanted to share it with everyone here on scrollsaw village , Thanks Eagledrum70

Thanks everybody for your comments and I know my Mom will like it . I will make sure she gets on here and reads everybodys comments. While I am here I would be Honored If one of you wpould make me a hummingbird pattern for my Mom . I could make one myself but I think she would apreciate it if it came from one of you talented guys here on scrollsaw village . I have made her one already but I would Love to cut her one from one of you guys pattern , Thanks Eagledrum70

Thanks Glenn, you are a wonderful son and I know you are working hard to keep your family going. I Love you. Your Loving Mom.

Well my dremel saw went out on me yesterday. My wonderful Mom knows how important me keeping my scrolling going is for my family right now took me to Woodcraft and purchased me the Dewalt 788. I hate depending on my Mom but I have been on unemployment for a while due to construction work not doing so good. I guess like any parent they want you to succeed . Like i said a few days ago on the forum Scrollsaw village and all the great members here have changed my life. Business has picked up with making patterns and pictures and Mom knew I needed saw to keep going. So I just want to thank everone again here on scrollsaw village for the encouragement and support . I truly believe the Good Lord is looking over me right now and I am very thankful. I especially want to put a big shout out to my Mom and let her know I Love her and I am very thankful. By the way everyone my Mom does get on scrollsaw village and look at everybodys work and comments , she is very supportive and loves the kind of stuff people do on here. So give a shout out to my Mom her name is Dot if it wasn't for her I would not be able to keep scrolling. Eagledrum70
