    That’s a great pattern and beautiful cutting!

    I am impressed! When I want something bigger, I usually take it to the copy shop. They can make things bigger easy.

    I agree, boxes sell! Dave Your boxes are beautiful!

    That’s pretty!

    I use both. Different blades for different reasons. Widening a veining line, cut with flat recut with spiral to make it more defined. Feathers or fur is beautiful with spiral. Project is too big to get that certain area, use spiral. Letters always get done with flat blades. Thick wood gets flat blades.

    That truck is looking pretty good!

    I made this for my granddaughter’s Baby Shower. Definitely a celebration! The Baby’s name is Allison. A great Granddaughter!

    I have NOT attempted that candle holder. I have made that clock in the original size. Those tiny ornaments on the shelves are challenging! I have had the opportunity to meet and work along side Tyler, The Artisan Pirate, he is just as amazing in person!

    Beautiful dog!

    Thanks! I agree that sometimes people need a reminder.

    I got a Hawk a few months ago at an incredible price. I hated it! I could NOT understand the blade clamps! Then, eventually after trying every day for almost 2 months, it clicked! I am a top feeder. It works perfectly! Just guide the blade into the hole with my thumb! Getting the tension right was the hard part.

    Marge, I have taught a few scroll saw classes. I use The Scroll Saw Workbook. I bring it and have everyone look it over. It has some simple lines, (Straight, curved, and curly). Then there are three relatively simple pieces to cut, a cat, a fish and a butterfly. I also bring some Steve Good cell phone stands and patterns. I have the lines ready to cut prepped on 1/4” plywood. I bring an Amazon box as a spray box. Patterns, blades, spray sandpaper etc. I demonstrate cutting, I will also demonstrate spraying and removing patterns. Steve Good has some simple patterns. I also go over basic maintenance.

    This really surprises me! It looked extremely aggressive! I would be afraid to try it!

    I was thinking that a Scroll Saw would shake it apart.

    Way back when painted country crafts was a thing I started my wood crafting. Took painting classes. I learned that oil based finishes darken your piece. Wood or paint will darken with oil. You can purchase water based finishes. Water based polyurethane is Polycrylic. There is also a quart of water based varnish in my finish cabinet. I don’t do much intarsia, it’s what I use when I do.

    Steve Good has a “Living Hinge Box”. The box walls are cut so it bends to make it a round box. I guess that’s what the design is called.

    Well, I ordered the bottle stopper blanks from Amazon so there will be a couple more.

    I understand, mine would not stay. I reset it multiple times. I just had a bad experience. I’m not sure I want to try another.
  23. Roberta Moreton
    I couldn’t help myself. I had to try!

    My EX had that tension thing on the back. Honestly, I hated that saw. The new Harbor Freight clone doesn’t even release the arm raise easily! went back to a Dewalt. I’m good.

    Finished this butterfly one
