    I bought them from The Winfield Collection, but they are in hard copy form. You might contact Karen at The Art Factory. She is Dirk's widow. Thank you Denny I found them.

    The pattern was in Wood magazine December 1997

    Here are some snowflakes I made for my wife. They are made out of 1/8 inch Baltic birch and painted white with some glitter sprinkled on. They are about 4 inches in diameter. Pattern I’ve had for many years and just now decided to make some.

    I have the 226 ultra that I bought new in 96 and a 20 inch ultra made in 99 that I bought used for $300. The only thing I’ve replaced on the 226 is the spring in the back and it’s had a lot of use over the years. The 220 I’ve haven’t had to replace anything on it but it doesn’t get as much use as the 226 because I prefer it over the 220. They are expensive new but you will never have to buy another one. By the way I bought the 220 in central Illinois about 4 years ago and it hadn’t had hardly any use. I live in southeast Iowa.

    The pattern came out of a scrollsaw magazine. I don’t remember which one though.

    finally got the ornaments done just need to finish them. Top is red oak middle is walnut and bottom is a really light color cherry

    I will post pictures once I get the ornaments done. Still can’t sit out there very long problems with back and one leg. Here’s a picture of my last project I made last year.

    After about a year away from the scrollsaw because life happens I started scrolling again today. It’s amazing how you retain your muscle memory for that long. Cutting was just like I had done it yesterday. Cutting some Xmas ornaments for my kids trees just to get back in the swing of things.

    Started out with a Ryobi. Made quite a few things with it. Like JT I was at a woodworking show and they were demonstrating RBI. Tried one out and bought it at the show. That was back in 1996 and it still runs like new.

    No scrollsaw injuries but I do have one finger that’s flatter on the end than the others because of a homemade disc sander. Trying to sand a small piece of wood on it. I knew better but I was in a hurry. That’s when accidents happen.

    I purchased my 226vs at Splinterfest in the Amana Colonies Iowa in 1996. It has had a lot of use and still works great.
  19. Oldmansbike
    Beautiful piece

    I have to agree with Jt I would be lost without my planer. I too have a woodshop with all the tools I need to mill rough cut lumber because I build other things. I resaw and plane down all my scrollsaw wood to the thickness I need. Most of my tools are Jet and were bought in the late 90s new. My planer is a late 90s Dewalt 733 and I have never had a problem with it.

    That’s good price for that saw. Doesn’t look like it’s been used much

    I have been having good luck with the Masterforce tools from Menards. They seem to be a step up from Harbor Freight and about the same price. I bought a cordless drill driver set on Black Friday 7years ago and it’s still going strong and I use it a lot. Just bought a RO sander to replace a 2 year old Craftsman that shot craps. The dust collector on it is like a mini cyclone so far it’s working good very little dust in the air while sanding.
