  1. Wow. Very well done. Everytime I start a detailed project like this one, I complain to my wife that it's going to take "forever" to cut. Then she reminds me that all of the great ones have taken me a long time to cut, and the little details are what make a nice looking piece of art. Kudos to you for sticking with it. It was definitely worth it.
  2. I made the pattern from a picture that I got online.
  3. I've always loved the story of Christ carrying the storyteller.
  4. Rick, email me at [email protected] and I will tell you how to get the pattern.
  5. I just finished this one for our remembrance of all the men and women who fought for our freedom. Never forget!
  6. Yes, that helps. I'll post results if I try it.
  7. I made the pattern for this from a drawing I found online. You all know what a fondness I have for Old West themed projects. There are six gunfighters in this picture. This one is 11x14x1/8" Baltic Birch.
  8. I think your work is most excellent! Did you draw a pattern onto the glass? I'd like to try this with my Dremel.
  9. Fred, let me know if you need any help.
  10. I don’t make my patterns and cuttings for profit. I believe that my skills are a gift from our creator, and as such I also believe that my work should be for the benefit of others. Rather than charge a fee for my pattern, I request that you please make a donation to a worthy charity of your choice in any amount of you choose. Then just let me know and I will email the pattern to you. My email address is [email protected]. God bless you.
  11. Thanks for this info and link. What tool are you using to sand your scroll saw projects?
  12. Locked down due to Covid-19, so I'm getting lots of scrolling done. Just finished this one.
  13. These are terrific.
  14. Here's a trick that I have used. Have someone hold the page of your book down very flat, then take a digital photograph of it.
  15. I just tweeked your picture. I haven't cut this one. This is what yours would look like if back-lit.
  16. I have often thought about posting my patterns. The only reason that I don't is that I am considering publishing a book of my patterns some day.The only thing keeping me from that is possible copyright infringements from the original pictures.
  17. Looks like a very well-done project. Congratulations. Thanks for the tips on cutting. Have you thought about back-lighting this one? It might make it really pop.
  18. About 20 hours to cut. Another hour for pattern design.
  19. Here is my latest scroll saw wood art piece. Street Musicians in New Orleans(?). 11" x 14" This one took a LONG time to cut. From a painting by John Carroll Doyle called "Maintaining The Soul".
  20. Great cutting of a great TV personality. Nice work.
  21. Thanks for your kind comments. This is from a painting, and I don't have any information about the subject.
  22. Y'all know that I can't get enough of the Old West themed pictures. Here's my latest. Pattern and cutting by me. Pegas 2/0 Spiral blades, 1/4" Baltic Ply, 8x10".
  23. By far, what I wish that I had known as a newbie is that there is an incredible wealth of helpful information, tutorials, patterns and amazing, helpful people right here in Scroll Saw Village. I mean, really, everything you need to get going and keep going is all here. My best advice...explore this website! Then get a piece of plywood and start cutting. Don't forget to ask questions on here whenever you need help. You will get great answers by skilled crafts men and women.
