Bigfoot cell phone holder and a question
don in brooklin on replied to MarieC's topic in Bragging Rights
Love the idea. I teach too and this might be a great idea. -
The closest I have is "Autumn in November" which I think I got from dafont. The ligature on the e is shorter but convert to text to path and play with the e you cand make it longer. See below top is regular and bottom is a quick stretch.

I was doing key tags for my grandson's baseball team and got to thinking that this is the best pattern program out there. I probably have done a couple hundred for teachers, teams and friends. The Canada one below is reduced to about 3/8 inch high. Many of the more recent scrollers may not know of this program, It is way down nearly at the bottom of the blog. https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/ There is an online maker that I think will work for Mac's https://stevedgood.com/stencil/ I get more thanks for this as a little gift. Many people have never got anything with their names on anything.

This is a gift for a friend who is retiring. The box is a Steve Good design and the top comes from one of Steve's candle holders. My friend likes hummingbirds Bottom is flocked. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Design issue. I made a big faux pas. I cut the bottom and then the walnut backer. It did not cover all the cutouts. I then had to alter the pattern and re cut. I should know better to cut the top before the bottom and then I would have seen the error and adjusted the size of the bottom. Funny thing is my wife like version 2 better. I will cut a new bottom when I get more 6/4 maple.

Had to look up and it is $20 in Ontario for the South African version. Snoop Dog version not available due the tariff wars. Great idea on the box and well done.

Really cool. Have too look that one up.

Struggling with compound chess set.
don in brooklin on replied to rafairchild2's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I agree with having non reverse teeth blades. I use FD Polar #5 Blades or Pegas #6 super skip. I find that using a lower number blade works better especially in tight turns. Just take it slow. When doing hardwood I wrap in box tap as it seems to keep the blade cooler or gives lubrication. What you have done so far is really nice, -
I have figured out that the original for this was done Brian Beals his grand daughter is Alexis I have tried to find web site but get error. If you can figure out how to get to his page you might be able to ask font. He has 4 articles with SSW. This is from issue 52 A grandchild’s interest in puzzles inspired Brian Beals, a retired engineer from Jasper, Ga., to make several wooden puzzles. Enthusiastic responses from friends encouraged Brian to exhibit his work at a local arts and crafts show, and when that was a success he formed Pickens Puzzles. To see more of his work, visit www.pickenspuzzles.com.

I do not know of that font. I didn't search dafont. I used to do puzzle names. I used copper black and added the little knobs by hand in Inkscape. I only have one pic completed. and a pattern for my niece. There was a videos on Youtube where the fellow printed the letters and added the knobs with eraser and pencil , I could not find. If you want cooper black send me the name and I can see what I can do.

Love the birdhouse. My favorite thing to do. Well done I would love it if Bauer was available in Canada. It looks like the price has gone up recently but still a great deal.

Yes I drill all the holes. Just a time saver. It really depends on the group you have. Sometimes in 3 hours it is a rush. I apply the painters tape and glue down pattern and drill all the holes. I gave you the 2 up version that I use but the 1 up version is what the students get. I marked with a 1 the first line they cut. They don't believe you when they say one of the hardest lines to cut is a straight line. Then start at 2 and cut the square around cat and try tight turn. I usually demonstrate on white board each cut and if we have an extra machine I do there. We then the ornament. pattern test 1 -up.pdf

Quilting queen(Steve good free download)
don in brooklin on replied to Allen levine's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Well done. Never saw that one on Steve's site. I have a SIL that is addicted to quilting and so I have made a few signs for her. Check out Sue Mey for some real interesting ones. I have made the "Love to Quilt" a few times. I stack cut 2 at a time and she has uses as Raffle Prizes at her club. PS: In regard to posting too much I can't speak for Travis the more you post the better. -
For my wife's birthday, I went to Hallmark to buy a card. A cute card that pops up (her fav) was nearly $8 + tax CAD or $6 US The regular cards that are supposed to be funny but not at all were $5 -$6. So the cheapo in me said I can make a card. Done it before and she seemed to like them. So I then spent probably 3 hours or more designing, cutting and painting. Return is about $2 per hour. Not bad for an old retired guy. LOL She liked it anyways. Size is 5 x 8 to fit envelope PS: The heart and maple leaf matched the sweat shirt I had stitched.

Cut out really well. Like the name that way

I have taught scrolling lessons for many years at our club and we have all Dewalts. Not my favorite as I have and EX-21. I have found that I can only take max 4 students at a time as once they get scrolling it keeps you busy. I also have found that 3 hours is the about the limit. (for me and for them) I start with going over the basics as I do them. I found that if you teach all the options it takes too long so I try to do quick. I have attached the 2 hand outs that I talk to. The first is the basics and the second it the internet links that I use. I am a die hard Flying Dutchman Ultra reverse user as find them not as aggressive as MGT or similar. Each person gets a #3 and a #5 to start with. (If they break one it is replaced.) After the the basics, I then talk safety aspects of scrolling (ie dust) and the operation of the scroll saw. I used to do the practice pattern page from Shelia Landy which is great for practice but when you have real newbies they get bored and I found they want to do something to take home. Before they come to the class, I have them do homework by watching the video of Steve Good doing sharp corners. I use 1/4 BB for the practice pattern and phone stand. My practice pattern is attached. I first explain cutting straight lines and then cut in half. Then cut the square to do more straight lines and square corners. Then cut the cat to learn sharp corners on the ears plus follow the curves and if they come off line to ease back on. (tip when pattern come off no one know where the line was.) Get a key chain. We then cut the ornament. Teaches cutting "V" and a circle. I then do the simplified phone stand. Usually have to fix up with disc sander LOL Change blades to a number 5 and cut dog pattern. I have pattern attached to a piece of 3/4 maple or poplar. Use painters tape for attaching pattern and wrap with clear box tape. (Just a tip for hardwood cutting) That usually takes about 3 hours. Some are quicker and so I have a couple of puzzles ready on 1/2 plywood. This is my experience and if you have any question let me know. PS: I follow 101 course with compound cutting.
