Great for a first cut I'm sorry I can't compare it with my first cut its just to long ago but once you get into it Russell it won't let you go keep up the good work.
-
Nope its not for anyone yet but its more an heirloom and I'm sure my grand children will end up with it.

Yes I made the Table also but I had to buy the legs as I don't own a lathe anymore but I do have a router and a router table so I used it for a jointer, I would have build the table out of a hardwood but its just not available here and not used to much as the termites run rampant here, I'm glad you like it thank you.

1/4" Good on one side plywood for the last one but some of my others have been 1/8 inch I think the strength lies in the form of the pattern I've cut some that were pretty weak and it was only from having to many cuts in one direction but a good balanced pattern isn't normally weak.

I do large projects also my last one was 5000 holes I also bottom feed I drill 100-200 holes at the time and then I flip the whole thing over and chase each hole with a 3" finishing nail after that try and cut in a straight line I mean the holes. I never look underneath when I feed as I try to go from one hole to the next by rubbing the blade as it comes out of the last cut to the next hole Works for me! Good luck try it. .../Hans

Very nice Paul you did a great job on it.
-
Very pretty Larry nice cut but why did you use 3/4 rather then the recommended 1/8 b/b?
-
Don Your right about it taking longer to find the hole then to make the cut as I'm strictly a bottom feeder, so to make it easier I drill about 50 holes or so and then flip the pattern over so I see the back of the holes and chase each hole with a 3" nail to round of the edge of each hole then I work by feel alone. I've used a pencil instead of the nail as the graphite in the lead kind of lubricates the hole so the blade slides in easier but all in all there is just no easy way. .../Hans

I see way to many people fall into the pin type trap to only be frustrated later on as they progress in their skills here is a picture of the difference

Hello Gregory welcome to the forum I noticed on the picture of your scroll saw that its a pin type meaning the blade has 2 little pins in them 1 on each end which will cause you a lot of frustration in the future if possible seek out a saw that takes either both or pinless believe me you won'y regret it. You see even in compound cutting you need to drill a hole to put your blade in so with the pin type machines your hole needs to be much larger then say a pinless blade. just saying. ../Hans

Thanks a lot that was beautiful I had never heard of him before

Hi Jen Welcome to the Village There is a couple of options for you the first one of course is upgrade your saw but you all ready said thats not a option, the second is to see if you can get a pinless blade adapter for your saw they make them but I'm not sure if they are available for your saw the third which is not easy but do-able and that is pull the pin out of one end of the blade poke it through your wood and re-install the pin back in the blade. Like I said its not easy but do-able, off course you could drill bigger holes but not in that pattern. I wish you all the bast let us know how you make out .../Hans

Steve I printed this pattern of months ago and finally got around to cutting it, I looked for about half an hour and can't seem to locate it but I'll keep my eyes open for when I find it I'll let you know.

!4" x 5" at the widest part it is all little pieces cut and glued on a guitar so there is 9 pieces total.
-

-
Great job Larry I love it show great craftsmanship
-
Thank you everyone its a piece I'm very proud to have finished. .../Hans

Thanks everyone for your compliments it makes it all worthwhile. This was probably the most intricate piece I've done but loved every minute of it.
-
I would just make another I enjoy scrolling so it would be disappointing but not the end of the world I have the pattern so I would make another one

Just a few more little touch ups and she is done it took 80 grueling hours of scroll sawing but very worth it Eventually I'll mount this in a table for display it is 22" x 16" This is the backside as I haven't removed the pattern yet.

No Idea what it is but I do love the hinges in all my years in woodworking thats the first ones I've seen like that
