Great work, you've been busy..

How many projects do you have going at one time?
Docupton replied to Travis's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Usually 2 or 3, at the moment I am doing lots of wordart, mostly orders via the local craft shop. -
Hi, I use crafters companion repositional spray, my local arts and craft shop sells it but I have seen it on ebay, its about £6 per can. Oh, yes, my local shop is Osbournes, maybe theres one near you, I know they are dotted around the country.

Wow..
-
That is great Kevin, well done.
-
Yes Marg, designed as a cutting board.

I thought if our American cousins can put letters on a hillside, I can put some on a piece of driftwood, not the same impact I know, but I thought...'why not'...
-
Thanks to bobis62 for the idea of adding shapes to names, heres one I did and a couple of other cuts, I've used rubberwood for the apple and Walnut and Pine for the names.

Long before I was made redundant from work, I would look at other peoples work on market stalls and in shop windows and think.. 'I could do that'. Trouble was I did not know how to do it, so I trawled the internet for almost a month looking at other peoples art and reading their comments. Scroll saws can be expensive, but with permission from her indoors I bought an £80 Erbauer, I now have an Excaliber 21, and thanks to sites like SSV and Steve Good, I have not looked back since..

The lettering is a bit wonky, especially the letter 'M'

Bragging rights is not the right category, although I finished it, it went badly wrong, there should be a Ooops category. Never mind it will make ornamental firewood.
-
I usually just pick a theme, this week its celestial, I find that if I feel like you it soon passes when I start cutting, no matter what it is..
-
A few simple cuts for one of my neighbours, I used Sycamore and black walnut and a size 3# blade.

Hi, I'm Doc from Leicester, welcome to the village.

A lot of cuts but worth it, it looks great, well done.
-
Clever idea, and it looks good, thanks.

For those of you that use a lot of word art but struggle with fonts, maybe you will find this useful. fontmeme.com or its sub title graffiti fonts. There are different themes and loads of different fonts many suitable for adjusting for the scroll saw. You need to enter the wording you want choose the style and font size then download it to your computer, I have a download section in 'My Computer' and leave them there till I need one, I've got quite a list of words saved up ready to use.

I printed a copy as well but haven't used it yet, very good isn't it.
-
Just to let you know Don, I will be making the Royal British legion badge from the pattern you kindly made, but they keep changing the goalposts, so at the moment am not sure what size to cut it, but when I do I promise to post it.
-
Wow, now that I like, thanks for sharing.
-
Never really thought about it till you asked but I'm the same Gator, always go clockwise.
-
Love it...
-
Very nice cut, good luck with the exhibition.

Horse and rider taken from a photo of Holly Gee and turned into a sillhouette, lettering is ariel black. Told it is to be used as a desk ornament.

I think you are all as strange as my customer, with minds that work in a weird and wonderful way. I thank you all for your efforts and for the link Paw, but my customer has decided on, 'Done to a turn'.
