Beautiful design and cutting. I am sure the bride and groom will love it and treasure it. Thanks for sharing. I have a niece getting married next weekend, wish my newbie skills were better to vpcrewtecsomething like this. Maybe at some point but I know I am not up to those letters just yet! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you tried it. Your grandson will cherish it that much more because you cut it. We have a professional sax player in DH family who would love one but definitely presently outsid of my entry level skills. Thanks for sharing.
Great job in designing the patterns by Russell, and by you in cutting them out. Someone will love getting them. Thanks for showing your completed project of them all together.
Beautiful piece. Nicely done. The recipient is sure to treasure it. Thanks for sharing. Would love to get good enough on my saw to make something similar for my daughter next year for her senior year of college Volleyball.
I agree, the red paint speaks Christmas but I like seeing the wood grain on the other with the stain. It really would be a "personal" choice. If looking to sell, I would make both ways.
Put me in the camp that while eyes may enhance the project, these appear to be too big. Plus, like others I think eyes you create by another means would be better.
More beautiful cutting Randy. I am in awe of the intricate cuts you can make with coins. I love the horses "floating" even if my mind does not grasp how it works. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear that you will have to wait until April to see how your items are received but sounds like it is for the best. Hopefully Matthew will lose his punch more then the anticipate and will move further out to sea sooner then later. I pray for all in his path. Good luck with your next event in a couple of weeks. You are right, everyone loves to see their dog breed when they see things with dogs.
I thought I had commented on this - guess I failed to do so. I am in awe of the work and detail you have in this piece of work and that you made the pattern from a painting. A definite piece of art. Thanks for sharing.
That is a stunning piece of artwork and I am sure your Daughter would love to have it. It would be a cherished family heirloom no doubt. I can't imagine the time and effort you have put into all the detail there. Thanks for sharing your photos.
I was fortunate enough to have a DH who is a hobby woodworker with a workshop that already had my scroll saw in it. He has a dust collection system with piping to/from each piece of equipment including the scroll saws. We added to it when we set up my sanding station with the flexible drum sanders. Then he has one of those air filtration systems up on the ceiling (that I seem to forget to turn on most of the time. ) Like Scott, I also always wear a good dust mask made for fine dust. If you can setup a good dust collection system at your sanding station that would be good.
Welcome from another Tennesseean. Glad you have joined us here on the forum. If you can't find a stand for your saw - I have seen some plans where you can build your own. Probably easily found if you do a google type search for them. Course, that might necessitate adding to your list of tools if you don't already have other woodworking tools. I am a relative newbie to the saw myself. I look forward to learning together from the great members here on the forum.
