I'm thinking you will do fine from what I saw being offered. Fancy artsy stuff is fun to look at, but how many homes will it fit in decor wise. The puzzles will sell good. I can feel it.

Great job! I love viking pictures. I have two on my wall and another in process. I really like this one you did.
-
That is a great portrait. Very well done.

Well I ordered a Mac Mop after reading this thread. It came, I used it, I love it. I love it so much I ordered another grit, and may add another next month.

Just for conversation, I like to do little subtle things on work pieces, when I can think of them. After looking at the pens Clayton posted the other day, I ask him how he did the Air Force logo on one of the pens. I thought I remembered but wanted to be sure. It was a process I use to use on pens once in a while. Anyway on the upper right of the frame there is a little dove that is the dove image from the series. I found some decal paper from my pen days, printed the dove, sealed the decal and applied it to the frame. Then I put finish over it.

Kevin you really pump out the work. Nice work.

Terry, for fretwork and things I cut that are less than 1/4" thick I use the Flying Dutchman Penguin Silver (FD-PS) 2/0 size. It is a very non-aggressive blade and you cannot cut fast with it. It does a clean cut and I can controll it easily. I am never in a hurry when doing the delicate pictures, and I don't have to be, I don't do it to sell. I will sell, if asked, but it is not why I scroll. I don't thank many people use this blade, so it decide to try them not order a bunch until you know they work for you. I order them by the gross...

Congrats! They are nice.

Very cool!

A few months ago I posted a picture of Gus McCrea and Capt. Call of Lonesome Dove. It was at the request of my Nephew that I framed it and he gave it to his work boss. Well his home boss, (spelled WIFE) was very upset because she wanted it. So he request I make one for her birthday which is next month. The fun part was deciding what quote she would want on the frame. So one bad weather weekend he talked her into a Lonesome Dove day. They watched the whole series in one day. Somehow he got her to tell him her favorite line from the movie. So that is why the quote on the frame. He insists she choose it.

I Will Seyco does have some history, they sold Excaliburs for years, are experts with them. The Seyco saw is an Excalibur with other features they feel customers wanted based on their years of experience. Most important, their long earned reputation of customer service and fair dealing. How far are you from Bosie, Idaho? https://boise.craigslist.org/tls/6064008001.html I have watched this saw, been on the market for over almoset 2 months, scroll saws do not sell in the North West. It is missing the part for attaching the dust vac by the bottom clamp and it appears to be missing the flexible end portion of the dust blower at the top clamp. Easy to replace parts. Maybe offer him $500 see what happens. It is 19 years old, however Hegners are the same now as then. There is a nice Excalibur in the Portland area, they want to much for it in my opinion but it may be negotiable. Just saying there are high end used saws in the NW. Lots of Hawks. May have to travel a little but road trips are fun.

That's a good son.. She will be most happy.

I use Firefox as my web browser and have for a long time. I prefer Firefox because it does not track everything you do like Google supposedly does. Looks to me like Foxit is for making, editing, and sharing .pdf files and orientated more to the business world and I really so not understand any of it.

Ha, just struck me Kevin, the question why do you really need more than one saw? Don't really need an answer, but cost wise there is a much larger difference in price between owning more than one saw then there is between 16" versa 20"+ (well in theory if you are buying new saws). I'm just being a wize guy. I am a more than one saw person, whether I need it or not. Runs in my family, my wife has 4 sewing machines!!... don't ask...

Beautiful, I do mean beautiful. I just do not know what else to say. Oh, my!
-
Oh ya, I SECOND that! Who's buying the plane tickets??

Very well done! Here is another horsey pattern you may like. I did it and thought it looked nice. one of Charles Dearing' s free patterns.
-
Dave, welcome to the Village. Sorry, I am not a pattern maker so I can't help you and I am just plain sorry I am not a pattern maker.... Some day maybe. I think you will like it here. Very nice people, and they are always willing to help, just like Heppnerguy just demonstrated.

Next show they may go like wildfire. Different clientele, different location. Coarse then you have the clientele like me, I love to go to farmers markets, craft shows, etc, but I rarely buy anything. Guess I think I would rather make it myself, not that I ever do.
-
Well Hegner has a 14" single speed and a 18" VS. Available in the US. However as you say they are more expensive than the DeWalt. Not sure I would like single speed. I change speeds quite a bit.

Those are great. After fighting a picture frame this afternoon, I am ready for some "playing around" on the scroll saw.
-
Iggy, was there much interest in the unpainted dinosaurs with paint kits? I notice you have colored ones in your picture, did you try your unpainted/with paint kit? I spent time this afternoon doing something that I have a rough time with, making a picture frame. As soon as I get it glued and clamped, it is scroll on a puzzle time to relax. Puzzles do not need frames.....

I have done several pictures that measured diagonally would not clear a 16" saw if I was restricted to flat blades. Right now I have a "Last Supper" picture I could not do on my 22" saw without spirals. There are many scrollers that do not and will not use spiral blades. So in their cases a 22" is important, if they want to do the larger pictures. Like most aspects of scrolling, I boils down to what you like and want to be able to cut. Only an individual can decide. As far as taking up shop space, I would guess a 22" take up very little more than a 16" in working area. That area includes the extra space need to work a saw, not just the foot print of the saw it's self. I could live with a smaller saw, but about 20% of what I like to do would not get done. I also think the larger saws maintain more resale value, but that is just an opinion, I have never paid much attention to that. Guess I'm just saying it is worth the extra space and cost to me, just to allow me not to be more restricted on what I can do.

I certainly agree the gauge is not necessary. They are good gauges, but I will probably very seldom tilt my table. I only did it once wit the EX. If I get into inlays, which I hope to, I would certainly think reference blocks would be the way to go.. I will use the gauge, it is easy to remove and they work great on the table say. 45' tilt, what does a person make that needs a 45' cut? As Steve good says there are only one or two bowl projects that calls for that. If I ever needed that degree, I would make a jig. The light, I agree with Dan. I have my own that is far superior to any light that comes with a scroll saw.

Cool. I like the added touches of the eagle and year on the car picture. Great job on the eagle also. Do you think the pattern came from the pattern library on here?
