    Gave it to the client today - she loved it. Another co-worker saw it and loved it as well, then asked if I could do one for Christmas. Thank goodness I stack cut this and have a second one ready to go!!!

    Nice work - like the hearts. Our family stopped giving gifts to anyone over 18, my Mom always gave her nieces & nephews a little something so they knew she was thinking of them. I have kept that tradition and always send my nieces & nephews an ornament, just to let them know that I think of them.

    Maple backing, walnut middle layer and cherry for the hummingbirds. Finished with Tung Oil and spray lacquer. Hope the client likes it...lol

    Just completed my first sale. Success! Just over $400 in sales. Was at a 55+ assisted living place, so it was mostly the residents that purchased. Sold mostly ornaments, all 3 of the round nativity boxes I had and a couple of other items. Sold the ornaments for $10 each. Everything else was priced between $15 & $40. I have attached photos of the set up. I must say thanks to all of you who helped, even though you probably don't realize it. Reading the various threads about what you do at sales certainly helped!!

    Good luck to you! I finally signed up for my first show this year after 3 years of scrolling. My show is at a retirement community - not doing business cards as I am not particularly interested in taking orders, would not have time to do before Christmas.

    In Canada, Thanksgiving is always the second Monday in October.

    Some of us are allergic/intolerant to earrings with posts, you can also get hooks at the craft store - here in Winnipeg I go to Michael's. Anything I have made is with 1/8" woods. I just usually dip in tung oil.

    Absolutely gorgeous

    A couple of years' ago, when I had just started out, I had the same thought. I was getting very frustrated at trying to cut a straight line for the manger on the nativity pattern. Went out and bought a magnetic fence and had even more issues. Now I realize that it is just practice, practice, practice. I am getting better at cutting straight lines. When all else fails - sand, sand, sand

    Just cutting the same thing. I am using bbply and stack cutting 3. Hope they turn out as good as yours.

    Here is a link for Bear Wood. Just ordered some to try but haven't received them yet. https://www.bearwood.com/scroll-saw-blades.html

    I have purchased a couple of plans from here: https://jeplanscom.fatcow.com/. Have started the chess set, but no where near finished. Maybe this winter.

    Love when a quick project works out. My daughter is always taking my comb, hopefully this stays around for awhile!! Cherry wood with a food safe wax/oil product I bought years ago to restore some knife handles.

    Steve Good pattern in poplar. So far just dipped in Tung Oil. Might spray with clear coat finish.

    Me too. I have actually hurt myself more on a sewing machine more than my scroll saw. Needle through the finger - ouch!!!
  20. barb.j.enders
    Haven't tried putting them in the saw, will have to try that. I use them for hand sanding.

    Wonderful work! As others have asked - where did you get the patterns from?

    Nice video - good to watch - it was nice to see someone comment on the time it took to cut - I keep watching videos and wonder what I am doing wrong as it always seems to take me forever to cut a project! I watched this and thought it would take me well over an hour to cut!

    I use ziploc bags. They can be sealed and they have a spot to write the type of blade on. Hang them with christmas hooks on an old utensil holder.

    They all look great! But 19 puzzles in a day??? Do you stack cut any, or are they all individually cut?? I looked at that and wondered, when do you sleep??
  25. barb.j.enders
    Okay, not sure if this is where the comment belongs. Just finished reading this thread and the other one about finishing. I am lost!!! I am just using either Minwax Tung & Teak oil or Watkins Danish oil. I thought that was all that was needed to finish a piece. Am I missing something???? At this point I mostly cut bb ply stuff.
