I agree!

Welcome, another resource for some of the saws and their manuals is here in the village in the subforum “scroll saw reviews” - many of the saws have their manuals and other documentation there under their information. If anyone finds one that doesn’t, and you have the information,toon. It would be great to have it added there. I know I did several of them at one time. I figured it was a great place to have the information stored for any and all scrollers to be able to find and access in the future. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/scroll-saw-reviews/

Welcome to the Village from East Tennessee. Hope to see you participate.

Another Tennessee welcome to the village. Look forward to your participation.

This is one of the older threads where CharleyL and others shared a lot of information and details on cutting compound cuts. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/24171-compound-cutting-wood/ It is well worth the time to read through for anyone interested in doing compound cutting. One key thing that several point out, and I learned from my own attempts, when trying these cuts use a skip tooth blade NOT reverse teeth. The kerf needs to be cleaned out as you cut that the reverse teeth doesn’t allow for like the skip tooth.

You can find Al’s website here: http://www.baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm I did a quick check but didn’t see the wands there. However, it did provide an email for him so you might email him directly to inquire: [email protected] From his site, there was a link to his Etsy page: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RealWoodCrafts?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&section_id=21355089 but I didn’t see the wands there either. He may have taken the, down for some reason. we can also tag Al here @baggetta and he might see it here and reply on if they can still be obtained somewhere.

You have been busy in and out of the shop Pete. Nice work.

Nice work Dan.

Ok, @BadBob and others, so quick question, if I already have a small compressor(s) available do I just need the air brush setup it’s self? I’ve considered an airbrush for a long time off and on, just never have pulled the trigger. I do have Mother’s Day and my birthday coming up next month and I know the question will be coming and I need an answer so this could be it.

I’m sorry for your loss. Great memorial work.

I am sorry you were disappointed. I got my issue today and we must have seen things differently, as I would not have said it was “focused on one subject.” I am not even sure what “subject” that would be referring to. Maybe, “nautical” as there were several related to that but many others not. I thought there was a good variety of different types of projects. While I may not undertake them all, and not all necessarily appealed to me right now, I am sure there are things that will appeal to many others. There are so many aspects and areas to scrolling now that it would be difficult to always appeal to everyone with everything I would suspect. I do however usually find at least a couple projects I like in each issue. I am sorry you did not.

Happy Easter

Nice work Don, I am sure they will treasure these much more then any store bought card and no doubt love the $20 enclosed.

Steve always puts up an April Fools post every year.

Nice work. You were missed. I noticed your article in the last SSWC magazine. Good to hear you are working on a book with them.

Nope, I learned to “adapt” by just slightly titling to the side to keep it out of the way. I didn’t flip my notebooks upside down and write upside down to avoid that issue. Always found that strange. However, my writing tended to slant back to the left. But often had ink or pencil smeared on side of hand as it slides across what you just wrote. But that’s okay as we are at least in our right minds. I was only lefty in my immediate family. Had a cousin who was left handed, we had a great grandmother who was left handed. My son is left handed, I told him sorry as being a lefty is not good for many sports especially with many old biases out there. Back on topic - in my online perusing I ran across this article on Paul Schurch and how he got started and trained in marquetry. It was interesting article. https://www.woodmagazine.com/woodworking-how-to/design-drawing-furniture-styles/the-marquetry-magic-of-paul-schurch

Excellent piece from pattern to cutting that your grandson will always treasure.

Nice work Charlie. This is a great example of how beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone has an opinion, and everyone will never agree on things, especially something that appeals to the eye. the thing about creating artwork, you get to create what you like and if you are happy with it, that’s all that matters. If you are selling it, some will like it, some won’t doesn’t make anyone right or wrong.

@rustynailand @octoolguyRichard and Ray - thanks - I have gotten those books and videos right after Paul started this thread almost two months ago now. I read them and watched them as soon as I got them. I also found other sources, info. and books and reviewed them and read more (I will list some of those later when I get a chance to sit down and compile.) I tend to do a lot of research, reading, watching, exploring on something like this before I attempt it. Since I watched the videos and read those books back a month or so ago, we took a vacation away and I’ve had several other things going on so just this week I started looking at this again when I ordered and got some veneer pieces in so just looking to clarify somethings like tapes, glue, etc. before I give it a try with some simple things. Blame the lawyer in me I guess. I plan to go back to the videos and books to review the basics. One of my biggest questions for myself is which way to go, with the packet method, or the double bevel method. I understand the difference and how each works just not sure if one way was better for a beginner then another. I have stack cut on my saw and done Intarsia. Richard, this is the knife or saw I was referring to: https://www.woodcraft.com/products/4200-veneer-hand-saw I have also seen where some use transfer tape (like used in tshirt transfers or auto industry) in place of veneer tape. I have some of that on hand and may try it at some point. Ray, as I’ve said before I’m a “jack of all trades and master of none” so I have tracing paper and carbon paper on hand for other hobby projects I do. So I think I have all the basics I need to give it a whirl soon. Just have to muster up the courage. Also Ray, I’m left handed too and completely understand the reversing everything. Might explain a lot about us. thanks again to you both and all who have contributed information on this thread. I will let you know when I’ve given it a try.

Better hide that pattern file better. Better yet, teach her to scroll and she can make what she wants. Course, that might mean you never get time on the saw or will need to buy a second saw. excellent work even on the lettering. Afraid I can’t help on tips, lettering still makes me cringe and run away. Have you started on Memorial Day yet?

Ok, just a couple quick questions regarding “tools”. Do you Need the veneer tape, the roller, the veneer knife, etc. that are sold or not really? Other options for tape or tools? Specific glue needed or regular Titebond wood glue I would already have fine? I was at our local Woodcraft earlier (because I was close by) and looked at the veneer tape (which I got), the veneer knife and roller (which I did not get.) Just want to make sure I have what I will need. Finally, is it better to do the “Pad” or “stack” method or the double-bevel method or just a personal preference?

Thanks guys. Thanks Richard for the video and additional info. would be interesting to see one in person and give it a whirl to cut on. Maybe one day, I will give it ago with my scroll saw to start and see how I like it. I love the cutting for the Intarsia pieces, but it’s all that Sanding that gets in my way to completing a piece. Have several cut and/or partially sanded that I need to complete. I have found that when I start one, if my process gets interrupted, I have trouble getting back to all that sanding to finish. I just got a small pack of veneer pieces so will try something simple maybe soon.

Guess she wasn’t around when you downloaded and started cutting this one.

So, I’m interested as I see this as similar to Intarsia I do but much thinner and without all the massive sanding. I’ve gotten some of the books and videos you guys have mentioned here and read them and watched them. Have not gotten a chance to try anything yet. My question is on this Chevalet tool. I understand it is “old school” and such but my question is what/how would it different, better or worse then cutting with a scroll saw? If you had a scroll saw, is there a “need” for the Chevalet does it offer something that you can’t do with the scroll saw? An advantage over the scroll saw? Or just another neat tool to do it “old school”?

Great work by all. Great memories for each for a lifetime.
