This is a horse stall sign, made for a customer a few years `ago now. Basically, shop scrap, painted with craft store paints. All designs were by T & E design. Craft store pegs for hanging horse tack. The rope sign hanger was from a weird one I found at $-tree. It was fun especially since I was told -"Your own way"--she did like it very much.

Flying HIGH Dick. Very nicely done.

Looks great!

If I think that I am going to make more than one of a thing; I try to make templates instead of just paper patterns. As I always use clear tape over my cutting anyway, it works well, I draw around my template with a finer point permanent markers on the tape and then another layer of tape over the top. The pictures are of my latest template for a bear cub. I did NOT print it; picture was taken from the computer monitor. I found a silhouette that I liked, did my own version of it some modifications all over it. I then taped it to the wood scrap (3/4-Oak) with a layer of Masonite over the oak. After the cutting I have a cub and a template. Sorry, I do not know the blade # used. Masonite is very hard on blades, even with the tape and I also use candle stubs on the running blades as extra lubricant. That trtick I learned from the book for my first scrollsaw, bought in 1953! I also use thin plastic and even light plywood for the templates, basically anything that will last and is thin. I even have a few sheet metal ones made this way. To make the metal ones though, I sandwich the metal between 2 pieces of the wood I am using. It cuts slower and needs more wax than the wood or plastic ones do as you cut. Last picture is of the cub and the template. I hope this helps someone.

Ah, Canus Lupis as a family! Fantastic job. Looks straight out of Oregon too! I like it extremely well. I might have to do some on a little of my walnut like that! THANKS for the idea!

Cut from 3/4" unknown very hard wood. Measures 7" by 3". It can double as an ornament or even open that brown bottle special too. Fun to draw and fun to make. I also do thin material templates on a first run like this.

Very fine 1st effort! M<y first efforts fed the cook stove not quite 70 years ago now!

WOW! Looks great!

Looks great!
