    There are battles and there are battles and the fireman fights one of the most vicious battles and has saved countless lives again and again. They are the heroes fighting the blaze. Here's a sign honoring this perilous duty. I cut mine from maple and set it on an improvised base from the scrap of the blank. Download free pattern from my FREE PATTERN page, if you would like to cut this.

    Well April 9th is declared Unicorn day, so it is only fitting that we have a sign for it. This bold sign was cut from Sapele and mounted on an improvised base cut from the left over wood. Hope you enjoy it. Might make some little kid very happy. You can download the free pattern from my FREE PATTERN page.

    In today's society you might sometimes feel this way as you get older. I cut this humorous sign from plain ol' pine and used the off cut for the base. Makes and interesting falling-apart base. You can pick up the free pattern on my FREE PATTERN page.

    My Free pattern for today is aimed at an important occupation. Lots of plumbers out there who might enjoy this sign. I cut mine from plain ol' pine, but to dress it up a bit I cut an improvised base of cherry. Fairly easy to cut, so take the plunge. The pattern is available in PDF on my FREE PATTERN page

    Thanks for the comments. I do use the saw a lot. I've adjusted the arm but to no avail. Still gives me a problem. I do have a set of the new Pegas clamps and plan on installing when I get the most out of what I've got. Over the 8 or 9 years that I've had the saw I think I changed the tension knob assemble about 4 times. Thanks for the comments on the video. I'm new at making videos, but I hope to get better with practice. One thing I can't stand in most videos is the loud music that often accompanies the work being demonstrated. Thanks again for your input. I appreciate it. Al B.

    This sign is for the Imelda Marcos wannabe. I cut mine from a nice piece of Peruvian walnut (looks like chocolate good enough to eat) and mounted it on a double layered base of walnut and pine. Pattern is available for free on my FREE PATTERNS page.

    Actually it's probably not the saws fault, but over the years I've kept wearing out the Excalibur tension knob because I have the bad habit of pressing it down when inserting the top of the blade. Not sure if there has always been this much play in the forearm, but it seems so. Well I came up with a fix in the form of a lever that will hold the forearm down while I insert the blade allowing my knob to go untouched. If you have this problem you might want to take a look. I've done a YouTube video showing the problem and my fix for it. If you have any thoughts on this I'd like to hear them. You can also download the pattern for the lever if you have need of it from the link in the video description.

    This is a phrase used often in many families, I'm sure. It goes back to the days when the phone was just a simple contraption sitting on the end table. I put this into wood by using a blank I made from various woods:Torrified Maple, Red Oak, and Cherry. You can make good use of your scrap wood by saving all small cut off pieces and then gluing them together in strips to make some nice looking blanks for scroll saw cutting. This board came out at about 1/4" thick. Of course I salvaged the top piece of the blank to convert into the top of the base. I used a piece of plain ol' pine for the bottom. You can of course just use a single blank to cut this just as effectively, but don't be afraid to use your imagination when the opportunity presents itself. You can download the pattern if you'd like to cut it, at my site Real Wood Crafts. Just scroll down to the FREE PATTERNS page.

    That would be great.

    Put together a sign pattern that I think captures the importance of all veterans and their contributions to our nation. I cut mine from Ambrosia Maple and salvaged the top layer of the base from the same blank, cutting an improvised layer. Also salvaged the two inner stars I cut out to use and end pieces, and the whole piece was then mounted on a piece of Sapele I had lying around. Remember to check out all the scrap from a project. Sometimes you can use it to dress up the final work. You can download the free pattern from my web page at Real Wood Crafts. Just jog down to the FREE PATTERN page and download the PDF.

    Nice job. Good idea of putting on a backing board. Makes it more secure. When I see a wood staff with notes on it I get the urge to play the "song" on my guitar. Here's my rendition of your "Piano". Best Al B. Real Wood Crafts Piano.wma

    I enjoy designing and cutting all kinds of table top signs on my scroll saw. Here's one I came up with recently that smacks of nostalgia of the old days: The Village Smithy. You don't see too many of these around today in our modern world. The pattern is available for free on my website. Just scroll down to FREE PATTERNS page to collect it in PDF. I cut mine from a nice piece of curly maple and cut a custom cut wave base from the blank scrap. Might make a nice conversation piece.

    Took a break from puzzle designing today and decided to give Steve Good's nice project, the Winchester Rifle a try. Thought you might like to see it. He posted this on his blog a couple of days ago and I've been meaning to give it a try. It wasn't difficult to cut once I got hold of 1/4" wood. I used poplar for the rifle base, poplar dowels for the barrels, and touched it up with some walnut pieces. It's unfinished here, but I plan on dipping the pieces in mineral oil and then shellacking the works. The stand was made from some red oak I had laying around. If I get a chance I'm going to try one in walnut. Best Al B. http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm
