Scrappile

I did a stacked cut of the Viking II picture and was trying to figure out a different method of framing it (by the way, I lost out on the frame I showed in the first post, my wife said no to using that frame). Anyway this what I tried on the second copy. I just finished it the MS is not even dry from removing the patterns I used to do the frame cutting. I can't decided if I like it or not. Just wanted some honest opinions' Give it to me I can take it. I don't cry easily, ,,, well not too easily..

Ya, Dick, to bad they don't have a store you can go to. I asked, they said no.

Congrats to the very happy looking couple. Hope to get there, we are on 49 this year.

Very nice, Randy!

Very well done.

That is definitely pretty. Great scroll'n!

You are doing that "you hold the key to my heart" piece? I normally use black on pictures like everyone else. However this is not a picture and I assume it is for Valentine's Day, I'd sure be tempted to see what red would like with it. Just have to throw a little mix in the discussion here.

Looks like some of the wooden nickles I have seen. I like it, well done.

It is some taking getting use to for me, especially after doing detail fret work with the Excalibur. Do not give up, it is a work horse and the more I get use to it and work with it the more I like it. Like Sycamore67 stated, not for smaller, real detailed fretwork, but works well on large portraits, check out Charles Dearing's work. I think you will like it. Hegner should break down and modernize it with easy blade holders top and bottom and eliminate the tool requirement, but it is do able as is. Good to know about the paint. I have a place on the motor where the paint has come off. I bought a demo model.

That is what I would do.

Welcome to the village. Glad you found us..... Your English is 100% better than my French!

That is very well done.

First, think you all for the very nice responses. They are really appreciated. Len, I do not know if this pattern is available to purchase. I was trying to find out from Mr. Roger Eriksson but it is difficult to communicate in different languages, even with the translator software. You could give it attempt by contacting him on Facebook. I hesitate to give out the pattern because I do not know if him giving it to me gives me that permission. I did try to explain to him that I had no intent on selling my work, or the pattern. I don't even really know if it is his pattern. Copyright laws are different in different countries. Some countries are very liberal about it.

I glue 1/2" thick pieces to together often for scrolling pictures. It work fine. I'm wondering if Pakauk. may be a little oily and maybe you should wipe the seams with acetone or alcohol before gluing. Just a thought.

Very well done. Too delicate for me!

I'm really like this one, and accomplished some things doing it. First, I saw a cutting of this pattern on FaceBook at the "Scroll Saw Pattern Cafe". It was done by Roger Eriksson who is in Sweden. I wrote to Mr Eriksson and asked if the pattern was available. Took several day and messages to get an understanding of what I was asking and what he was responding, but in the end he sent me the pattern. HOW GREAT IS THAT?? Anyway, it is not a real detailed pattern, so I decided I was going to do it with flat blades, and on my Hegner, (neither of which I get along with very well). This is the result, and I do not feel bad about it. It is the first picture I have done on the Hegner, and the second picture I have done with flat blades. So, not perfect but not bad. What I learned is, the Hegner is not the greatest scroll saw for portrait type work. Especially if it more detailed that this. Flat blades burn easier than spiral blades, but cut cleaner. Spirals are easier for me to use, but require more clean up after cutting is done. I like spirals best for portrait work..... I know now I start getting all those hate responses......

Here's my question. Can you save an Inkscape pattern as something other than an inscape file? That way I could use Rapid Resizer to resize it. Much easier for this old goat.

Looks good, Dick. If you want to watch a struggle, I've been trying to cut one using flat blades on my Hegner. Almost done, bu it will not be shown!

I just save them: double click on the pattern I want, then right click on it and a box will appear, select the size you want to save, when the pattern cone up in the size I select I right click, and "save image as". Select where I want to save it and it is saved. To get it the real size I want I use an image resizer, such as, PosteRazor (free Download off the internet), Pixsizer (free off internet) or my favorite, Rapid Resizer, there is a free version on the internet or you can buy the software.

Both, A+!

Basement shop here also. I have a fan with a filter and I vacuum often.

Darn, if it wasn't on the other side of the states, I help him!! Great wood.

Dan, you are having entirely too much fun with these toys! Makes me want to get back at it. Nicely done.

Dave you are really doing great with this scrolling. I think you did an awesome job of inlaying. The fit and finish is outstanding. Sorry the star is a hair off, but lesson learned and that is a good thing.

Okay, Steve that is really, really nice! "Beautiful", yes!
