Really nice job!

Going to see my nephew on the Carolina coast in a few weeks. He is big into deep sea fishing and thought he would like this. Got the plan from Scroller and added the name of his boat. Cut from 1/8" BB. Very floppy once all the pieces are taken out. Sanded the back before I did that. Backed it up with 1/4" PW and stained with ebony. Didn't want to paint because the contact cement may not hold. Hope he likes it.

Always quality work, Kevin.

My wife is just nuts for hummingbirds and we have several feeders around the house. She even has a hand held feeder that they have come and fed from. She saw a pattern on scrollsawartist.com she wanted me to cut. I cut. Not too complicated. She added her painters touch to the final work. It makes it POP!

I had originally posted this in the pattern request area and Don R. was gracious enough to make this wonderful pattern. I made this for a friends birthday and he said he just got it and loves it. He has flown over 14,000 hours in all sorts of aircraft including Gulfstreams. His favorite aircraft is still the Howard 500. A little back story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_500. It was a fun project to cut but some of the fine lines were a little scary.

Thanks all for your kind thoughts.

Our mail lady has been having a rough time lately. A large (heavy) package fell on her arm at the pickup office and has fractured her arm. She has been out of work several weeks and finally got back to work today on light duty. Jerry1939 inspired this project. My wife found a similar pattern on scrollsawartist.com. I just had to add her name to the front of the truck. (screwed up the first since I only had one K in Nikki) Even though other have been covering her route she stopped by this afternoon to see how we were doing. We gave her the plaque and she was over whelmed. She did not expect it and hugs were given all around. She still has a brace on her arm. She said she wanted to take it home and also show all the folks at work. It's amazing how such small gift can make people so happy. Thanks to my wife also for her wonderful paint work.

Jerry, this is amazing work. What type of wood did you use? I have seen similar elements in an 8 sided wren box.

I Know diddely on the saw. It looks like a monster but I have the same magnifier lite and I love it. Looks like it may have been modified to mount to the unit. Mine still has the articulating arm attached.

There are a huge amount of these patterns on Pinterest.

Fine cutting. You may have a new future material to work with. Results were great!

Jim, about a year ago I started using a scotchbrite ball (red) that I found at Harbor Freight. I either use it on my drill press or on a hand held drill. Now, I almost never use sandpaper or an exacto knife to clean off cutting fuzz and I make sure I hit it from all directions. Even delicate cuts are not affected as long as I don't press too hard. For about $10, its worth a try.

Great work Kevin. You are the hardest working scroller I know!

It's good to pick up a little extra when you are picking up... Toll! (Great in German)

Impressive work. The colors really POP!

Roman, Glad to see you have joined the village. There are many scroll saw patterns here but I often go to Pinterest and they actually have very many Russian artists and their scroll saw designs. Check it out.

Amazing work for first attempt!

Nicely done !

Jerry, what a wonderful gift and how appropriate. July 1st is National Postal Worker Appreciation Day. Remember that they are the ones that come to your house almost every day. They are also the ones that get up in the middle of the night to load and fly and service airplane, drive long haul trucks, sell stamps, sort mail, drive their own or noisy mail trucks in all sorts of weather with their windows open. If you see one today, say thanks and that you appreciate what they do. We love our mail lady NiKi. She has over 800 stops every day!

My niece came and visited a few weeks ago and she was very impressed with the great pattern. Thanks again Don for your excellent design work.

Thanks y'all for you compliments. All the smaller holes are a little tedious but I did find out something about my EX-16. I wish I could slow it down more. When I'm cutting 1/8th inch material (even with puzzle blades) the cut tends to get away from me if I'm not careful and I can run past the line. I've seen some discussions on possibly slowing it down but it may have a negative impact on the motor. I guess I'll have to practice slower blade control or opt for projects with larger holes or thicker material. LOL!

I am finally back to scrolling after a few home improvement projects. My wife bought a Peacock Clock pattern from Sue Mey. Used BB PW for front and back and 3/4 pine for clock support and base. My wife did the feather background painting. May use a similar pattern to fashion a 4 sided lamp.

Your post was much more succinct than mine. The KISS adage applies.

I've done this on several of the clocks I've made. I typically take it to my copy store to get it close. They are willing to work with me to get it right and it's cheap. One thing to consider is that the clocks usually come with a spring loaded expansion ring or rubber ring that can be added to. Since you are cutting the hole for the clock, you can compensate for any minor difference in the dimension. Use a compass to make a size that will fit. The tower clock I made had an outer ring that was part of the design. That hole was an exact fit and the inner hole was close.

That looks really neat.
