Excellent as always Charlie.

I agree, lots of nice work there.

definitely been busy and excellent work.

Roberta beat me to it. This is what I was going to say. There are different colors used for different types of cancers. By leaving the ribbon as you have done here, it would be more generic to any type of cancer. You just have to decide if you want specific by using paint on the ribbon or generic. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323448#ovarian-cancer your paint job is great and does enhance it, IF they are looking for one for someone with breast cancer. Are you willing to paint them in a variety of colors? Only you can decide that.

Outstanding- too beautiful for the garage wall.

Great to hear. Wish I was closer to be able to attend. Hope all goes well. Take lots of pics.

Thank you all for your kind words.

Thank you @Fab4 Paul for your kind words. My first Beginner Intarsia class and also my first ever attempt was with JGR. At the time, she had previously had a rose, and some other patterns as beginner pattern for the class. We were first one I believe that got to do a trigger fish. Like you, I wasn’t thrilled with the fish idea but I did it anyway. However, I have been known to be a tad stubborn at times too so I understand. I don’t know about the politically correct Jack of all trades, I have always referred to myself as a Jack of all trades, master of none. Maybe I need to rethink it but then, I figure that was a “quote” so I’m happy with being a Jack Because it’s also hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

Here are just 3 I could I easily find. Probably shared at some point. I have made many phone holders and given as gifts. Still have a bunch but this Mickey one is a one of a kind I made for myself and use at night when I am charging phone in kitchen. I have others I use in the workroom and workshop but he is my favorite. The butterfly box I believe is a Steve Good pattern. His pattern had something else on it and I changed and added the butterfly instead. I wanted the butterfly as my mom loved butterflies so I did it to honor her memory. It has a curved lid and layered with different wood to add color to the butterfly. Here is link to Steve’s pattern for the box. https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2020/06/curved-lid-box.html The football is a trivet cut for use in my kitchen. I added the power T for my beloved TN Vols who I hope may some day return back to being a team of some relevance. Hope does spring eternal. At least we have had great baseball and basketball the past few years to get us over the agony of football season.

Ok, I had posted in a few replies on other threads that I was learning to hand carve and had taken a one day turning class. Since a few of my carvings were initially cut out on my scroll saw, I figured I would share them here. If anyone is a carver, please let me know. One of my goals in learning to hand carve, was to use it to enhance my scrollsaw projects, in particular, my Intarsia work. I am enjoying carving and turning. I have hand carved 6 pieces now I think. One of them is still a work in progress so not shown. It is based on a JGR Intarsia pattern so I will have to share it later once it is done (The carving part is done, but it has framing I’m trying to work out how I want to do.) They are all cut and carved from basswood. The photos appear in the reverse order from what I carved them meaning Mickey carrying balllons was the last one (6th) which I just completed yesterday and then go back to the larger flower which was the very first attempt. Mickey is also the only one I created my own pattern for from a card I had and did it all on my own with no directions or advise on how. The rest of the pieces are patterns from video tutorials and patterns provided by Mary May. If interested in learning to carve, I have found her tutorials to be great. Mickey, the jack-o-lantern and the butterfly on a flower were all first cut out as flat pieces on my scroll saw then carved. Thus why I feel comfortable sharing here. The two smaller flowers, technically I used my saw on as it was one board I cut in half. The largest flower, done on the round natural board was not on the saw but I threw it in since it was my first attempt. I added some wood burning to the first flower I did and then did wood burning on the butterfly and flower. Mickey and the Jack-o-lantern do not yet have a finish on them. I am probably going to attempt to add color to them once I get a little braver to try that(and find some time.)

I like it Paul and great use of scrap. A win win.

Excellent pieces you have crafted.

I’m in agreement with Kirk. I like it as is. However, if you really want to consider adding something, you could print it and cut it out to outer size in paper (meaning just cut out the outline, not the actual full design) and place it on there to see if and what you like. It’s your piece, so do what you feel makes it perfect to you.

Very nice Dave. I like that it is different style of box. Unique and beautiful. I have some bandsaw boxes I made using Baltic birch sandwich with more exotic woods. They turn out beautiful and I doubt anyone but a woodworking really looking would know the middle is baltic burch ply. I got the ideas and patterns for the ones I made from David Picciuto and his website. He sales a set of 4 for $5 on his website. Then he has a book with more and different patterns that I like better. https://makesomething.com/product/bandsaw-box-templates-1 The Book can be purchased in paperback or kindle version on Amazon (it’s cheaper then buying from his site, but on his site you do get an autographed copy. ) https://www.amazon.com/New-Bandsaw-Box-Book-Techniques/dp/1950934144/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=8gbNh&content-id=amzn1.sym.8cf3b8ef-6a74-45dc-9f0d-6409eb523603&pf_rd_p=8cf3b8ef-6a74-45dc-9f0d-6409eb523603&pf_rd_r=Z1WY3V15NDM0NPQWF1KX&pd_rd_wg=56qEg&pd_rd_r=2f41d90c-2210-400d-929c-60058aed0099&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mi Here are just a couple of the designs I did to give you an idea or two. I am sure once you guys see them, you may get more ideas on making your own. I mainly wanted to give you another idea for using the bb ply scraps. They were big hits with family. The top one is my favorite. I flocked the insides of each box.

You don’t seem to have missed a step. Glad you got to get back on the saw. Looks great.

I agree, very nice

Charlie - you give one too many clues. It was shortly after I was married and a new bride so I am actually not really familiar with it but “inconceivably” I believe I googled and figured it out. This princess will pm you my answer so as not to tell to soon.

Thanks to John for sharing his patterns here and thanks to you for your hard work in getting them scanned in and posted in a new section. I will check them out for sure.

I’m going to tag @Denny Knappen who is a dealer for Pegas saws. Perhaps he may have some insight.

Awesome job Charlie. I was just a bit younger then you when Hank broke the record and I remember it well too. I grew up a baseball fan as my dad like it. Thanks for sharing,

So glad to hear you are doing so well now and keeping busy and making lots of folks happy with your work.

@heppnerguy Dick, please don’t be concerned that I was upset by your comments. I was not, you have always been encouraging to me (and everyone else) since I first visited the Village and started my scrolling journey. I realized you were still just encouraging me to stretch my skills here and took it as such. I have tried many new things with my scrolling because of encouragement of you and so many others here in the Village including some fretwork. I just wanted to explain, that I had tried it but at this time, it wasn’t my favorite type of work, especially really detailed pattern like this one. I find them beautiful, and know the patience, skill and time involved and admire those of you who do them. I just have learned, I can’t drill all those holes, unclamp, rethread the blade in a new hole, re-clamp, cut another small segment and do it over and over and over again. At present, I have learned I don’t have the patience or skill required. I do do a few fretwork patterns, but I limit the size and holes needed. if I ever give a detailed one a go, you’ll be the first I tag to see it. in the interim, I will admire yours and others works on them and challenge myself in other ways.

No 44 who had 755 home runs in his career would be Hank Aaron I believe.

Welcome to the village from the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. Glad you decided to join us and show your work. You have some nice pieces you have crafted there. I think we are all avid patten hoarders or collectors. Look forward to your participation here in the Village. I’ve been hanging out here for more than 6 years now and I agree, it’s a great bunch of folks. That mother peel and her chicks is cute. I have never seen it before. Maybe you will recall where it came from, or someone else can point us in the right direction.

Glad surgery went well and you are. Home. Praying for a good and speedy recovery so you can get back to your saw. As others have said, do the therapy - they do know what they are doing.
