This is going to be so cool when finished. You can already tell that it is on the way to greatness.

You guys are the greatest. Your comments are so appreciated, and what keeps me so interested in this wonderful hobby.

I just cut this one. The original photo is by Hawaiian photographer, Darcy Fiero.
-
It's long overdue for me to cut a piece in honor of the military. I very much appreciate the sacrifice they make to keep up safe and free. I was asked to make the pattern for this one for a magazine for scrollers, and it may be published.

I cut this picture of my Hawaiian niece for her family. I designed my pattern with GIMP2.

Len, I know exactly what you mean. I used the spiral exclusively on this one, because the original photo was kinda "fuzzy", and I thought straight cuts would look out of place on this. If I had to do it again, I would probably try it with your suggestions. Thank you for your honest and valuable observations.

One of my Facebook friends posted an old photo of a guy on a motorcycle, and it just kinda called out to me to try cutting it. The photo wasn't very good, so making the pattern was a challenge. I finished cutting it yesterday. No stain or varnish yet

Thank you all for your support. This is what keeps me going.

I just finished cutting this scroll saw picture. I made the pattern for it from an original photo by Himani Smeaton. I'm on a Hawaiian kick lately, if you couldn't tell. I really miss Maui.
-
I didn't want to muddy up the picture with the island names. Leave something to the imagination. Besides, I know the names of these islands so well, and this one is just for me.
-
No paint! I love the look of natural wood. Otherwise I would just buy the map.
-
Just finished cutting this one. Still needs stain and varnish. Took about twenty-five hours to cut. I made the pattern from the picture I found online.

Fairly new Dewalt 788 broken switch?
Kris Martinson replied to Kris Martinson's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Thanks for all the help. I did try blowing out the dust, and it didn't work this time. So I bypassed the manufacturer switch and am using a power strip with an on/off switch. OK so far, but I can sure see the value in getting a foot switch. -
My DeWalt 788's on/off switch quit working. I'm not sure what the cause is nor how to fix it. Anyone else have this problem and a way to fix it?

This one was a labor of love. My wife and I have been vacationing on Maui almost every year for a long time. We both love the feel of the island, and we even hope to move there someday soon. I envision setting up a small shop to sell my art work in the upcountry area. That's why I am concentrating my efforts toward the beauty of Hawaii. I hope I can do it justice.

I just finished cutting this Hawaiian portrait. No stain yet. Photography credit goes to Himani Smeaton. I made the pattern myself from the photo, using GIMP2.

I just finished cutting this one. No finish on it yet. I made the pattern from the photo I found on the web.

I finally finished cutting the Gunfighter picture.

Latest scroll saw project is well underway. I'm really into the "old west" theme. I wanted to get more done today, but had to give up when the thermometer hit 97 degrees. No AC in my workshop/garage, and the fan wasn't getting it done for me. Pattern done by me, from a picture I found online.

I decided to cut as large a space as possible and add a photo. Oval shape was the best fit. After all this, I am now cutting another one for my grandson's other (maternal) grandfather. On his, I will squeeze the lettering to make more room for a larger photo. I'm going to give it to my daughter-in-law so she can give it to her father for Father's Day. Thank you all for your kind and helpful comments. I love this group. You are all so supportive.
-
I made this project using someone else's pattern (sorry I don't remember where I got it). I just added the lettering. My grandson calls me "Nono", which is an Italian version of Grandfather (it's a long story). I'm thinking of cutting out a space for a photograph just below the lettering, toward the left side. There is room for an oval opening there. What do you all think?
-
I think you did an awesome job on the cutting, and I love your subject choice. I agree with the group about the frame. It is such a nice project, it deserves a nicer frame....easy fix.
-
I don't know where I got this pattern, but I love it. Very easy to cut. 5x8" ply. Pegas 2/0 spiral blade.

I used GIMP 2
