    When trying to help someone find a certain scroll saw book on Ebay, I saw the book that contains those patterns. It was really hard, but I was strong, I resisted! My name is Paul and I am a scrollsaw patternholic!

    Once you have them scanned, why do you save the hard copy?

    Great pictures... That cute cutter,does a pretty decent job.. It one knew how, I think they could do most their work with it and then move it over to Gimp for some final touches if they thought it was needed.

    WEll I no longer have the setup I had, I took it off when my Fein vac, died. The shop vac is just too noisy. The one I had on my Seyco, is with Andy, don't know if he uses it. It is very easy to make, just pvc pipe. If Andy is not using it, maybe you can talk him out of it.

    Should be the other way around, Thank you two for asking questions. Gets me to think (I know oh, oh, another being born story coming), but no, gets me to thinking of different things to try and coming up with different methods of doing things. I've got some new ideas to try. I hope as you make them and come up with new and better ways to do them you will share.

    Okay, I will show you my very profession setup I have. It works good I blow the dust towards my fan.. Looks like when I was cutting this afternoon I forgot to turn my fan on.

    I've been through the tutorials a couple times.. Just too many steps for this old coot. I even have a cheat sheet that someone one made up several years ago, so many steps.

    I just though I'd get a straighter. nicer cut on the table saw. Band saw, I can do. think I will have to switch the blade to a finer cutting blade, but might be a safer bet. I was thinking of sandwiching the book between two pieces of 1/8" plywood taped good on the table saw,, what could go wrong !

    Thank you Melanie, you never disappoint, I actually went and looked but didn't find it, guess I didn't have the correct words to search.. I actually thought just wait Melanie will save the day! THANK YOU.

    I've been scanning the patterns to my computer. Then I crop as much of the space on the page away that is not part of the actual pattern.. Makes it much easier to resize the pattern. After I have cropped as much of the waste away as I can I resize the pattern so I know what size I have. then I convert the pattern to PDF file. That way I can easily increase or decrease the size again and print as a poster with the Adobe print fuction. I have been doing the military emblems thing from a book. I have pretty much decided to cut the binding on the book and scan the pages. I am ruining the book anyway trying to san individual pages. I am wondering f I can shave the binding off on the table saw. Haven't had the nerve to try it yet.

    Looking good to me, Dick. You know I cannot make patterns. When I try, I lose it on the eyes and the mouth.. I just cannot make them look right. The eyes on this look great, the mouth I would have left off the little final curve on the his left side, just before the cheek line. But if I saw it side by side with the pictrure you worked from, I my disagree with myself. I tried a pattern a couple weeks ago, of my grandson, using the "Cute Cutter' website. ( https://cutecutter.com). I came the closest I ever have to making a pattern. If I knew how to use GIMP I could have taken what I came up with and maybe easily finished it up better with GIMP It was close enough that I cut it. It is only for me so, what the heck. This is were I got to.

    Love each and every one. Is there a pattern for the dog leach one or did you work it out yourself? A+, A+ and A+

    I do almost the same except I don't worry amount of turns, I put the blade in and turn the knob in the back until I feel I have the right tension. I pluck the blade to hear it and if the sound and feel say the right tension, I am off and scrolling. Now, if you compare my work to Dave's work, maybe you are better off listening to Dave!
  22. Scrappile
    You are entering a whole new world of scrolling and of wishing I had done this sooner... Congratulations!

    What? It got all the way down to the 50°s!

    Like other things do it a few times you get use to it and it is second nature. I do not even think about it any more. I clamp while it is bending the blade, the top of the blade is at the top of the clamp. You are making it too difficult!

    I got a seat that I can adjust the height, then made a little platform to put my peddle on and my feet. I never even though of cutting off the legs.
