These are great Dick! I hope Sharon does not talk to Patti about what they get for Valentines..... I would be in a heap of trouble... Well I did git her a nice card this weekend... This is early for me.

You really did a nice job on those. I ended up making 4 of those. Sold 3 and donated on to a local pistol shooting club. Two of them went to New York,,,, !

Very fine scrolling and welcome back!
-
Very nicely done, Dick. Obviously you do not lose your skill when you are away for the shop.

If you are making a detail fret work box, clock, or something similar, it will not fit together.......

Move over Finoa Kingdon, there is a new kid on the block!!... That is wonderful!!

Mike, I know the beautiful pictures you make, and I been inspired to try some just because yours looked so good. Don't change a thing you do. It is your way. I also try to cut everything as close to the pattern as I can. Sometimes I get off a little, that is okay, but I do try to stay with the pattern. Just the way I am,,, I would not be happy if I didn't. I agree most people would not know if you cut online all the time, but I know when I don't.

You did a very nice job on that birdhouse. I saved that pattern some time ago and hope to one day make it.

I have my Seyco mounted on an enclosed cabinet. I have never noticed anything rattling inside the cabinet. I can't say about vibration, I have never had it on another cabinet so nothing to compare it with. One thing I do have is a 60 lb. bag of concrete mix in the very bottom of the cabinet. My Hegner is mounted on a Hegner stand and it has sweet spots that it likes to run. Fortunately for me, those sweet spots are right at the speeds I like to cut. Every saw I has had had "sweet" spots that they ran the smoothest.

So very glad to have you join us in the village... Nice work. And you have a great saw!

Okay, let's knock off the beard comments. What is wrong with a beard?? All men had them until some dumba** invented a razor. I have had a beard since 1967 with no regets.... I suppose you shave your arm pits also.....

Cheating?!,,,, I would bet maybe Tony, thinks all of us using fancy electric scroll saws, with variable speed, quick change clamps, stay up top arms...etc.,,, are the ones cheating,,,,
-
I'm almost at a loss for words! That is an amazingly difficult portrait to cut even with a scroll saw. With a fretsaw,,,,,, WOW!! Very nice work. A real treasure.

Great houses Kevin. The birds are moving up to the east side with those.....Great Kobe piece also.
-
Charlie, that is another piece of art.... Well done and beautiful wood.

I think if there are places where the pattern could be sectioned, I would then do it in sections, if I did not like spiral blades. But I do like spiral blades so I use them. Coming at the pattern at different sides/angles helps on some, but if you have to do a lot of turning,,, it is sometimes impossible.

I've used print shops like at Office Depot when I have a paper copy of a big pattern, and usually have multiple copies printed so I can keep the original, and have copies to work from and copies on file. I do not know if I can copy a pattern that I have on the computer to a disc or ,,,, awe shot, my mind went blank, what do you call those little things you plug into your computer,,, ah USB? and take it to a print shop to get it printed.... I would like to be able to do that as opposed to cutting and pasting patterns together like I do now... Guess I will ask next time I go to one of the print shop... Getting printed copies is real cheap.

Those are great looking bowls. I do not know how you do such intricate inlay. If you like another pattern of this type bowl there is a free downloadable one at finescrollsaw.com. http://www.finescrollsaw.com/order.htm It is at the top of this page...

I really don't care much for the "MG" blades... I know, I am weird. I much prefer their Reverse skip #3R blades. But that is me, I do not care for aggressive blades. But I have never cut 5 layers of 1/8" BB either. Max I have cut is 3 layers of 1/8". If you would stop by,,,, I would give you some of the #3Rs I use and you could compare. You may need go to a larger # to cut 5/8th. This is "if you would stop by"..... If not,,, suffer..

Too late now, but I have posted this several times: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Delta-1-3-Amp-20-in-Scroll-Saw-Variable-Speed-40-694/205112184 But you well be happy with the DeWalt.
