Hey, Steve, that is really nice!
-
Good job Hans, really puts me in the mood to get the RV ready to go.....
-
Great job Gator. I also have that pattern and I tried to cut it once, only smaller. I didn't make it. Have not tried it a second time but I well. I too hope I do somewhere near as good as you have.

I got a set of plan from Wood Magazine website for a mobile base like this (better picture here: http://www.woodmagazine.com/ideas/wood-shop-showcase/idea-shop-3/?page=5) I have made and use three of them for various machines. I love them, easy to make and work great. I have a stand made for my scroll saw, (I do not like the metal stands) out of part of a kitchen cabinet that I got for free. I have wheels under the cabinet, but am thinking of making another one of these bases to set the cabinet in.

I agree with most, for repetitive cuts of larger item, as you are doing, a template is the way to go. If you get into small thing or fret work, here is a nice little video of different ways to attach/remove patterns. -
Very nice Hans. I couldnot do that with flat blades! I did a little snowflake the other day with flat blades. It was such a struggle!!
-
Congratulations! I read good things about those saws. Let's see some pictures. I think the saying is "no pictures, didn't happen"!
-
Oh, my wife is an owl fan. Those are very nice. I like them better than those 190 bushy tailed rats you were forced to make!!
-
So, Rusty what kind of box are you going to make? I would think that would help dictate the thickness of wood.
-
I'm anxious to see where this is going. Are you gearing up to cut coins? I love that stuff and want try it some day. One thing that troubles me about it is do the metal filings have any adverse effect on a saw? They would be very fine fillings that look to me would not be good for it. Any one know the answer?
-
I started a box this evening that has a lot of fret work involved. It is to made out of 1/4" material. That is what the plans call for.
-
Well, I'm off the hook, I looked I do not have that one. Thought I did.
-
Those are awesome looking cars and you did an A+ job on it, cutting and pattern. Do they still make them? My favorite car, that I have owned was a Sunbeam Tiger. What a little hotrod. I started making a pattern of one to cut but I haven't mastered the pattern thing. It is about 1/4 finished. Hope to actually complete the pattern and cutting some day.
-
Great job Hans! I hear you on the straight blades. I've been trying to use some lately and I am really struggling with them. It would be hard to convince me they are easier to use than spirals!
-
Excellent job, Gater. I love that pattern. I have to see if I have it. I'd be afraid to try it though, no sure I can reach the bar you and Steve have set! Have you guys looked at Mike Williams' patterns? I ordered 7 of them. Got one of the Moose set up and ready to start scrolling.
-
That is pretty stuff. Hate to see it used for bookmarks, but they sure will be specially pretty ones. That really need to be a nice piece with some great word of wisdom scrolled in it. The last two sheets of BB I bought (5' x 5') has been the worst I have ever gotten. Going to a different store next time. I should have know they were the last two sheet he had. Should have told me something......

First commission and first pattern (sort of)

I can see why they are happy with it. Well done. -
I wish I had started when I was you age. I started at 70, just turned 71 and keep thinking of all the things I want to make and may not have enough time left!! By the way over on Steve Good's forum there are two teenagers signed up. They seem to be having a lot of fun and are doing outstanding work.
-
maybe paint it with automotive paint?
-
1/4" steel plate I think that is what the original is made of. Any suggestions, I know very little of this stuff.
-
I was out to dinner with my nephew and his family the other evening and was talking to his son. His son is in high school and taking metal shop. I asked him if he needed a project and if so, could he make me a bigger table for my scroll saw. I described it to him and he thought it would be simple. They have a CNC machine he loves to use. I made a pattern for him today, I added 4" on each side and 3" in the front. Anyone think of any problem with doing this?
-
Looking good and if you are not satisfied, nothing says you can't do it again. Hang on to you first projects and you will be surprised the progress you make after a few more.
-
Well that should get something knocked of the bill! They look very nice.
-
Ya know I like it.. You did a great job one this one.
-
Make what you can without scaring them off. It helps buy supplies. That is a good thing.
