Nice work Dick. Good to see you back visiting the Village. Good to keep busy too.

Is this the one you had from Steve? https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2009/12/dewalt-dw788-thumb-screw-upgrade.html A search for “thumb screw” on his blog gives a lot of articles he has done in regards to different ones, easier methods to try, etc. so may be worth a perusal through to get some other possible ideas or sources of different types of knobs to use. one idea he shared was switching to a round thumb screw offered by Seyco: https://www.seyco.com/qkm-05-round-knob-assembly-metric/ Also an old video he did on different ways to make more comfortable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlCFMK4n5nE This is just a few things he has shared over the years.

@Travis I think you were looking for some of these

Yes, I am in the Knoxville area. The lady of who, you speak is considered to be one of the most prominent Intarsia experts around. Her name is Judy Gale Roberts and you can find her in Seymour,TN which is just a small area between Knoxville and Sevierville. I have had the pleasure of taking several of her classes since I started on the saw back almost seven years ago. I started with Intarsia and her class right after I lost my mom. It was great means of helping me deal with the loss. (I had already lost my dad many years before.) Since I leave so close, I would drive over each day. It’s only about 30 minutes or so from my house. She used to do 3 levels of classes, beginners, intermediate, and advanced but has such a long waiting list that she is trying to focus on the beginner classes and has eliminated the advanced classes. She only does a few classes each year and they fill up quickly so if you really are interested, I would recommend you call and get on her waiting list as it could be a while. I know her 2023 classes are full. You can find her website here: https://intarsia.com Even if you aren’t ready to take her class, or can’t get in for a bit, but are in the area, it’s a treat to stop in at her shop and see all of her work on display. pits been a while since I did any Intarsia as I kept expanding my scrolling thanks to everyone here in the avillage over the years. I need to get back to it and finish a few pieces I’ve had sitting around now for awhile.

Welcome to the Village from East Tennessee. Glad Travis was able to easily do the dark mode for you, I’m sure others may find it helpful as well. We look forward to your participation. Lots of kind folks here in the Village, so don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Iggy, glad to see you back. Sorry to hear of your wife’s health struggles but wonderful news that she has fully recovered and back to 100%. I’m sorry it lead to you guys having to leave the beach area, I know you loved it there but glad you are closer to family. I hope you got a good shop space and look forward to seeing and hearing more about your new ventures.

Looking good. Look forward to seeing it completed. Glad you decided to go with the maple, I think it’s a good choice with the walnut. They complement each other and I feel they are both high quality wood choices. Make sure you are keeping patterns and copious notes.

Amazing work Dave.

I’m glad you keep making more, and giving them away to veterans you meet. Thank you to you and all the veterans who have served our country and those who have served throughout the world.

Maybe @Denny Knappen can give some good insight on the Pegas. I can’t. the one time I tried to do one of these type of bowls, I was using my Dewalt. You could not tilt the head, you had to tilt the table. I hade a really hard time trying to cut with the table tilted. That bowl became firewood as best as I can remember. That was fairly early in my scrolling, and I haven’t tried again, even with my saws that I have now that tilts the head versus the table. I’ll try again one day, so I’ll be interested in seeing what you learn.

Congratulations and sounds like you have a great friend. I look forward to seeing what you create from this treasure trove.

Just remember, they are still younger, faster, and quicker to reload.

That is looking good. My mother who was the seamstress in the family would have loved it. Adding some scrolling to it will only enhance it’s beauty.

Jeaheon, I’m glad you surfaced to get a breath or two. Good to see you visit us here in the village. It is always wonderful to see what your newest puzzle creation is. This whale looks great. Blessings to you for the New Year and hope you get more opportunities to stay above the surface.

I too was going to suggest Dick as one who does significant carving to scrolled pieces. Glad to see he has already replied several times. I have been learning to carve the past couple months some. I have shared some of those carved pieces on here earlier. I have been carving some Christmas ornaments the past month. Haven’t shared those yet I don’t think, I still need to paint some of them so was waiting until I had them completed. I want to learn carving in the round but haven’t gotten there yet. I did some relief carving to start, and then have been doing the smaller ornaments. I have been enjoying learning to carve and I asked for and received a Foredom to try power carving. I enjoy learning and trying new things. I also learned some basics of turning that I want to do some more learning and doing with. I think carving can enhance so many different types of work. I hope to use it with my Intarsia work (that I also need to get back to ). So, I’m always open to talking about carving with my scrolling. Edited to add: I had also asked for and received some of Pfeil’s palm size carving tools for Christmas. Most of what I had previously purchased were some of the larger Pfeil gouges and vtools for relief carving. While I was making them work with the smaller ornaments I was carving, I felt palm size tools would be more efficient for that type of work. I have done a little work with them since Christmas and they are a good size for small work.

Hello and welcome to the village from East Tn. Look forward to your participation. As noted, it depends on how the pattern designers creates the pattern. For lots of free patterns, be sure to check out the pattern library here in the village. You will also want to check out Steve Good’s blog. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/category/2-pattern-library/ https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com

@BadBob the snowflakes are gone - you can come back now. I am sorry if they bother you, I was on yesterday and know they are only for the one day and find them a little festive.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

I agree it looks great.

Sounds like an awesome time all around and lots of great memories this grandchildren will always fondly remember. They did great work on their Jacks.

Glad to see you back. Sorry to hear of your health issues. I pray they are in fact behind you. Nice looking projects.

@Scrappile Paul, yes, I took it “positive” . Course, Kirk made it fairly easy when he gave the info. that he was pretty sure it was from here in the Patterns section of the village. I do try to provide links to things when people ask if for help or note they aren’t sure where it came from. I think it’s helpful when we can provide links to articles, patterns, etc. (helpful now and hopefully down the road) and it usually doesn’t take me to long to track something down but I have been “stumped” before. So, if you need help finding something, just tag me in case I don’t see it and I will do my best.

I’m so sorry to have disappointed you @Scrappile Paul. I will try to do better. Now, let me see what if anything I can find. perhaps this is it by Mike Miller, looks like uploaded in 2014 to the pattern library here, in the utilitarian pattern section. There are quite a few clock patterns there shared by Mike at the time.

Glad to hear surgery is done and you are back home.prayers for an excellent recovery and you can be back in the shop sawing in short order. Be patient and give it time to heal properly. I know that is the hard part.
