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

Thanks for feedback Brett I really appreciate it!

Here is two more of my patterns that I cut out today. I haven't decided what kind of frames I am going to make for these yet. Thanks Eagledrum70

Just cut out today and it is going in cedar frame that is not complete yet. Hope everybody likes it. Eagledrum70

Awesome job for first time keep it up . Its good to have another scroller in the croud.

Everybody might ought to try this . I use shelf lining paper . You can get it at Lowes Home Improvements or any hardware store. it has a sticky on the back to put in kitchen cabinets. They have all hinds of colors and textures. Me I use the white . I cover the whole piece of wood with the shelf liner and glue the pattern to it. just cut the shelf lining paper to size peel off the paper on the back and stick it to your wood. It works great when your done cutting you peel the shelf lining paper right off and the pattern comes off with it . No heating burning or mineral spirits. That is what I do . Thanks Eagledrum70

Very nice work Trevor . What is your frame made of if you don't mind me asking? Thanks Eagledrum70

Awesome job Brian . I have been wanting to do something out of a slab of wood like that . What kind if scrollsaw blades did you use if you dont mind me asking? Thanks Eagledrum70

Thanks for the comments and feedback .Eagledrum70

Very nice work Kevin ! Eagledrum70

Finally done with this one. It took 8hrs. total . It is cut out of 1/8 inch thick 12 by 14 piece of baltic birch plywood.

Just wanted to tell all the scrollers Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

Has anybody used this software to create scroll saw portraits ? I cannot figure it out any suggestions?
