I had planned to sell a few, if I can get them done in time. Don't know yet what it will cost to set up at the event, though. Might just have to sell them at Farmer's Market and around town. I'll have to check it all out. BTW, thanks for the vote of confidence. I had already redone the pattern with another font, but you encouraged me to try that one and it came out great. I'll post pictures once I get a base cut and attached. Should be done later today. Thanks again.

Thanks, DW, but I think I need to change the font to make it more cuttable. Looks nice on paper, but those little points and curlies are REALLY hard to cut.

I just decided to make a couple signs for the upcoming Omak Stampede in Omak Washington. Biggest event of the year, but probably means nothing unless you've been here.

I just started selling stuff at the local farmers market. They charge 3% at the end of the day and don't pay up till the following week, so this sounds fantastic to me. Now I just gotta get a smart phone to use it with.

Thank you Rick. After seeing your work, that comes as a great compliment. I'll keep improving as I keep making them, I'm sure. Looking now at a couple books of patterns for more sets. And of course need to make boards with storage boxes to keep the set together.

Thank you a lot. I have a friend, (more like a brother than my own brothers), who would LOVE that clock. He's a big fan of Dodge trucks. Won't have any other make, even though I offered to give him mine. Can't wait to get my new table saw and get back to work.
-
Thanks. It was easy compared to the pieces.
-
I just finished the first board a couple days ago. I was starting to make the checkers to go with it when my table saw quit on me entirely. Now the rest will have to wait till I can either repair or replace it.

Thank you all for your comments and encouragements. Compound scrolled pieces used to be one of the greatest mysteries in my life, until I read an article. Now, I've ALMOST lost interest in any other scrolling. (Not quite, but almost.) The next great mystery to tackle, (not yet, but when I'm ready), will be intarsia, or inlay, or marquetry. I haven't decided, yet, but it appears to me that they are all somewhat related.

Some of you may have seen these posted elsewhere here on the village, but I wanted to put them up here and brag a little. I'm currently working on a board for the Oak and Pine set. It's not coming out as well as I had hoped, but my son says the gaps and stains give it "character". I know a couple ways to improve for future boards, but it will take a while and I already had the materials on hand for this one.

Hello all, My name is David. I live in Omak, WA. I got into scroll sawing because I wanted to make some gears for a project and couldn't afford the recommended band saw. I figured for that purpose, the scroll saw would be just as good or better and a lot less expensive. After doing the gears, I started playing around with patterns and puzzles and found that the scroll saw is very satisfying and more than a little fascinating. I'm now always on the lookout for more patterns and information that can help further this hobby and perhaps make a few bucks once in a while.
