Wow nice work my friend. You are a pros pro. Thx for sharing.

I'll through my two cents into the ante. I'm still on my first can of adhesive spray being a rookie and it's Loctite. I use it with the painters blue tape and all seems well so far. My next cutting i'm going to use it on just the pattern with no blue tape and use mineral spirits to take it off and see how that works. Loctite was the cheapest of the three products at Home Depot. Loctite is a solid glue company that hold lots of my screws in place (except the ones in my head) so I went with it and bingo it works. I cut out a box with six inch walls and put the pattern in that and stray away. This is the type I have. http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/a_cntct_high/overview/Loctite-Spray-Adhesive-High-Performance.htm

LOL...now that is funny right there.

Thanks guys. You guys are the best and to kind. I will leave it alone but I will keep it instead of giving to the person it was intended for. I'll make another because I noticed I wandered into the buck's eye. That is very noticeable. The problem is they gave me the wood and I don't know what type of wood it is nor does the person who gave it to me. He stated he found it somewhere. I beg to differ it looks store brought. Oh well i'm still learning and getting use to my new eye sight...lol I pulled the pattern off of here and i'm most thankful for the person who took the time to create and post this pattern. Thanks a million.

Well my time is up from my recovery and back to my little workshop. I cut this piece but I had a piece fall off leaving a gap in the bushes. I have the piece that broke off. My question is should I try and glue it back on or do I leave it off. It's a big void. Also what kind of finish should I use. I'm so new that this woodworking stuff I don't even know what type of wood it is...lol Anyway the mistake is left side of the buck in the bushes. See that big ole void...lol

Your a cutter...lol Awesome work...!

Awesome work my friend. There is a lot of skillful people on this site. Once again. Awesome job....!

Sweet ride my friend. I bet there are tons of club houses that would love your piece sitting on a mantle.

I was really just joking around. I'm a rookie at this hobby. Matter of fact the clock was only my second piece from start to finish. I did a little things different then you did. Like you stated I used the American flags instead of the ones used in the original pattern. Also so a shadow wouldn't be cast I put black construction sheet as backing. If you noticed especially from the side angle you can't see the workings of the clock. It's all enclosed. At the time of me building this clock I was fighting double vision. Noticed my flags are off line. Also I never noticed the edging with the BB wood. When I posted the clock I just noticed my mishaps. I almost gave up this hobby because of that fight but my doctor reassured me that he would be able to fix me right up. And yes he did that. I'm noticing things I haven't in a long time. I said all that to say this. In no way shape or form am I insulted. Matter of fact just the opposite. I was flattered. By putting our clocks side by side I took it to heart i'm on the right track in this world of scroll sawing. I patted myself on by back and said good job Cliff. Wanna good laugh I sold that clock for 65 American bucks and have an order for 3 more from my local VFW. But I have another week before I can get my eyes in the saw dust. Doctor's orders. So my friend keep up the awesome work. Please understand that i was just teasing myself with that comment. Ciao Cliff

So that's what that clock is supposed to look like. Great Job.

Great piece of work. Thx for sharing your talent with us.

You my friend are a machine. Great job. Man you folks here give me hope in my hobby i'm just learning.

As most know i'm new to the scroll saw world and I received a boat load of baltic birch with my saw. I have two 1/4 inch 5x5 sheets, one 1/2 inch and one 3/4 inch 5x5 sheets of BB. What I have been doing is gluing two 8x11 inches together both 1/4 inch BB. One is of the scroll saw piece and the other a backing with a router edge taking the place of a fame. To me it looks like fido's butt compared to pieces I have seen on here with frames. Besides looking like fido's butt I spray the backer board flat back, glue them together, route the edge then put the finish on, but the finish always seems to run into the flat black on the backer board. Now everything is shinny...lol. So I lose the contrast; therefore, I want to go to framing. My question is, is 1/4 inch BB thin enough for framing or do I need to go smaller like an 1/8 inch...? Being in the Atlanta area I have access to all the BB I want with great pricing. A 5x5 sheet of 1/8 inch will run me about 15 bucks but I have all this 1/4 inch that I got for free or better yet came with the saw. An 1/8 inch is about the smallest size that comes in a 5x5 sheet if I have to go smaller then it's of a hobby store. LOL...basically I said all that to say this. What is the ideal size of BB to frame.

Great job my friend. Hell I don't golf and would love to have that...LOL

Wow...excellent work my friend.....EXCELLENT....!

Nice cutting there champ.

Very, very nice. And wow, congrats on the 50th.

You my friend are a scroll saw artist. Being a beginner it's always great when the artist explains what woods and finishes was used in their project so rookies like myself can get a feel for the craft. Thanks for sharing. Question.... what does BLO stand for....?

I had spinal cord surgery in Dec 2015 and was not able to be mobile. A friend gave me an old Delta scroll saw. Before that I never even heard the word scroll saw. After a little research I was up and at it cutting away and letting my mind travel with the subject I was sawing. Six months later here I am at Scroll Saw Village learning from the best. IMO....All the rehab in the world can't compete with my scroll sawing. I have much to learn. The only wood I have cut on is baltic birch plywood and looking into getting to know what woods are what. Stains and finishes are a whole story unto itself. But this I do know. Let boiled linseed oil dry out in the basement before bring it up to display the piece...lol

Like the others stated that little plastic film was a pain in the butt so I removed it also. As far is the dust collecting port I have a unique situation. In my basement my saw is placed by the window and I put the Rigid vacuum on my deck and run the hose through the window to the DC port. The noise from the Rigid with most of the saw dust is outside. But for some strange reason I still look like I was playing in the sand box after a full day of scrolling.

You folks are to kind. Looking at the clock now from a picture point of view baltic birch plywood isn't for everything....lol I guess i'm going to have to invest in other types of wood, but man do I have a boat load of BB, it came with the scroll saw when i brought it.

I'm hoping your enjoying your vacation as much as i'm enjoying you work. Excellent my friend.

Wow. A willing heart blessed someone. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea folks. Now I can save my lungs for cigars....lol

Always need to bring awareness to any kind of cancer and them Angels are sure going to help. Excellent job.
