I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but if you're looking for a cheap, small easel I got one for about $3 after a 50% off coupon at Joann Fabrics. Wal-Mart has a lot for cheap, too.
-
Thanks for looking, but I found what I'm looking for. It was a Charles Dearing pattern, I just didn't look in the right spot.

Anyone know of a good mother of dragons pattern from game of thrones? I know we have one in the fantasy pattern section of the site, but I'd like one more detailed. Charles Dearing has one, but I'd like one with the dragon in the picture, kind of like the one in the pattern section but more detailed. I was torn where to post, but I'm not asking anyone to make it for me. I'd like to buy it since I might be making them to sell, so I figured this was appropriate.

I got a set of plastic test tubes from Amazon. I cut a part of the package and stuff it in the tube to identify the blade inside. Drill holes in a 2x4 to put the test tubes in to keep them sorted.
-
Sounds like you're doing very well. If you don't mind, where did you get the patterns for the puzzles?
-
It's hard to get in the picture. It has a 12" piano hinge on the bottom and two latches on the top to keep it closed. It basically opens down. I wanted it to open from the bottom up but I didn't want the hinge to show.
-
A client wanted a custom coin display case for her husband. She showed me a picture of something close (original looked like a flag and he's a cardinals fan). After doing the math (the worst part) and drawing it out, I basically designed the rest on the fly. Not terribly done. The cover doesn't line up as perfectly as I want, but it's pretty close.

Thanks everyone. The one I was looking for was on sale at Klockit so I bought four. Kevin, it's not that complicated. I'm making the fake cuckoo clock from scrollsawartist. http://www.scrollsawartist.com/cuckoo-wall-clock.html

I'm making the cuckoo clock (not real cuckoo clock) from Scrollsawartist. It requires a quartz movement, but I want one that will last longer than a year. Anyone have recommendations about quality ones?
-
Thanks everyone. Decided on a Rhinelander clock from The Art Factory. I'll order the pattern once I hear back from them about what wood size I'll need so I can have everything around the same time. I was thinking about what you guys said and I came to the same conclusion. It's really no different than any other piece I've done, just a whole lot more of them. I'm really hoping business picks up a bit and I get busy, so I can just do a panel when I have a free evening and keep doing more of them until I'm done. I figure it'll take a year or so to get done. I read something a while back that said everything you've ever read (in English) has been made up of 26 letters. I was helping my step-dad get adjusted to scroll sawing and I told him something similar. Everything you'll ever do on the saw is either an angle, straight line, or curved line. Figure out how to do those well, and you can do any pattern made. Of course, it's a lot easier said than done, but still true.

Haven't decided on one yet, but something like this.
-
I like to challenge myself, so I decided to take on an advanced pattern like a Wild Wood Designs clock pattern. Anyone done something like this?
-
I didn't find much in a search, but does anyone have suggestions on a good looking stainable wood filler? I have a project coming up that I'll need to nail gun together and stain and I don't want the nail holes to show if possible.
-
Sorry about that. Updated original post. It's the large fretwork pattern from Sue Mey.
-
First, this is amazing. I lowball a lot of my work, but a general rule is material plus $10 an hour.
-
Thanks everyone. I've come to realize a lot of people will never realize the problems that we notice because they don't make the things we do, but we see the small imperfections because we've all made them at some time. Also, he'd better appreciate it. He's no one's paying a stinking dime for it other than me.
-
I don't have a lot of money, but my step-dad would give me his last dime if he was able. I scraped together my spare change (figuratively) and bought him a Porter-Cable scroll saw. We got it home and I was showing him how it was an upgrade from his 20 year old Skil scroll saw. After fumbling with the blade holder for about a half an hour, I returned it to Lowes and ordered the Delta version of my Dewalt saw. It feels good doing stuff for people like my Dave. My step-dad had to retire and go on disability for his back and my Mom had to retire because it was messing with his disability benefits for making too much money, so he can start making his own stuff and selling it back home to make some spare money. FYI, the saw was on sale at Home Depot. I asked Lowes if they price matched, and they not only did, but they take another 10% off the top of that. The saw was originally $399, but it only cost $369 with the 2 year warranty.

Made this for a coworker. 1/8 birch plywood on shelf wood backer. Stack cut three, so hopefully sell the other two soon. I know it's high, but the name plaque won't be ready until tomorrow. Also, note the slight imperfection in the middle curved line. Left the spiral blade (only used for those long cuts I wanted wider) a bit too long while I readjusted my hands. Sue Mey pattern (scrollsawartist).
-
Thanks everyone. Gave it to my Mother over the weekend. Definitely a few very slow moments cutting this one.
-
Pattern is from Chef on here. Measures 11" x 14" from 1/8" BB plywood. Stack cut four of them, but one is for my Mother. Stained two natural but I'll be doing the other two in a weathered gray stain.
-
They look great but all I can think about the last picture is glitter everywhere for weeks.
-
Looks great. Do you have a pattern for the hearts? I've been looking for something like that to modify for a wedding present.
-
I've had this pattern in the queue to cut for a long time, but seeing how it's supposed to be done now I don't know if I want to. Great work.
-
That looks great. Mind sharing where you bought the pattern?
-
Great product. I'm looking at doing one myself, but not sure which pattern to do. Also, deadpool isn't going anywhere soon. All the nerds (like me) have been begging for a Deadpool movie for years and they're already planning the second, as well as other movie tie-ins.
