Delivered them today & received $120 Australian for them . People say I could have charged more, but I am quite happy with what I got & the buyer is going to spread the word to her friends.

I have been looking at this pattern Jim & now i might just have to give it a try after seeing the great job you did of it ,love the framing too.

No Dick no objections from me go ahead,hope you get some orders too

You might remember I did some of these a while ago .I received another order for 6 more from the people that own the stables down the road,so might be on to a good thing here as there are lots more stables in the complex. Cheers Peter.

I do the same as Roly & Larry snip the nails to suit the thickness of wood,drill a pilot hole to suit the nail & super glue as well.

You can do it Kev start by walking a short distance then gradually increase it ,but do see a doctor first.

I have been looking for some Australian content in scroll saw patterns so when I found this one in the pattern library I jumped on it & thanks to Patch for the pattern,I made the backer a little larger to give it a framing effect.

Hi Maurice glad to meet you .I am Peter from NSW .As to the saw I would get the best saw that you can afford ,I started out on a carbatec & it served me well for a couple of years.It was an 18" model with variable speed & it cost was $700 .I have since upgraded to an EX21 Or General as they are known in Australia but are pricey at $1100 but are a beautiful saw.Please just ask if you need any help or where to purchase blades etc.

Well worth bragging about lovely job, congratulations on your awards.
-
They are amazing Paul ,have often looked at those patterns but have not found the courage to tackle them so far.

Eddie I mainly leave the glass out but the Galleon i cut I put the glass in to protect all the delicate pieces I would hate to see little fingers breaking away these small bits.
-
Nice work Dick .I found the spirals to be quite daunting when I first started with them but now seem to have mastered them to some extent after lots of practice & mistakes.
-
Len being from Australia we do not get the same type of plywood you get I suspect the plywood we get is some sort of pine. I will check to see what grade it is.
-
Look Ok to me Edward should sell well.
-
Thank you for the explanation it makes sense.I use the marine ply because it seems to be of better quality & less voids.
-
Yes it is a Charles Dearing pattern.
-
I stacked cut these two out of 4mm. Marine Ply & used both spiral & flat blades although the spirals especially did not last long before they were blunt so went through a lot of blades,the marine ply must be a lot harder than the Baltic Birch that a lot of you people use.Added a bit of colour to these for something a bit different,hope you like. Cheers Peter.
-
Another nice one Rob.
-
Hope you do well & sell a heap of stuff Rob.
-
Like everyone else I removed mine also.
-
Nice work Dick I must look into this.
