Yeah, my scroll saw does that....makes a lot of things I cut look like dragons for some reason.

Thanks, all! Gotta say, my daughter gets it from me....I prefer this spiced-up version of a hummingbird, as well. Spiced-up...get it? Mouth burnin'......okay, I won't quit my day-job.

Awesomeness!!! Portraits are still my nemesises (nemesees? nemesiis?) with regards to pattern making, but I've enjoyed cutting one or two of them.

Steve Good's "Hummingbird" box. Apparently my hummingbird got some bad pollen, it seems to have grown bigger. And angrier. 1/4" BB ply, used #3 (for the dragon) and #7 FDUR blades. Stack cut enough for two boxes, but only put the inner lining in one of them (daughter was fine with an open box).

Got started, technically, back in Nov 2017 (according to the photo filename). I'd helped my wife's grandfather renovate our first house back in 2007/2008, and have always loved working with my hands to create something, so when we moved back in, he told me to hang on to an old table saw and band saw ("if I need 'em, I know where to find 'em." They lived a mile away from us.). I made a Texas state flag out of a section of old fence, just adding some support to the back and painting it, and got started making smaller sized flags, then got the band saw up and running again and tried making a sign I'd seen on Pinterest, but ran into a problem with the inside loop on the "L". So I found an old Dremel 57-2 listed at a garage sale, picked it up for $25, and never looked back. The band saw hasn't been used since, and was even sold to make room for other stuff. Most recent were a couple of gifts, one for my daughter (I stack-cut the dragon scene, and have one at work as well) and one for my wife for our anniversary.

Wife got me a woodburner for Christmas. I was trying to think of where I'd ever use one, and remembered my old bookmark that's starting to get a bit ragged (its two newspaper comic strips, back-to-back, laminated). So I picked up some 1/16 and 1/32 baltic ply from Hobby Lobby and sat staring at them blankly. I hadn't even pulled the iron out by that point. LOL So, I scrolled one. I swear they had the stuff mis-labeled at HL, this stuff cuts like it was balsa wood! Had my saw on slow speed, new blade, and will probably try using an Xacto knife for the next one I do.

Looks awesome!! Would've taken me a week or so to cut, I'm like Marg, I only get a couple of hours a day to cut...sometimes longer on the weekends, if there's no other honey-doo's to be do'n. Nice work on the "frame"! I couldn't tell a difference, myself. Made me think, though, has anybody tried cutting a "frame" out of ply, one solid piece, and then just attaching it to a project? That'd certainly be a lot easier than making one from scratch...

Ver' nice!

Go ahead and post it, if someone recognizes the pattern and points you to a link, you can then give proper attribution (and purchase the pattern if its not free).

Very nice!

Looks like a quick cut! Nicely done!

Very nice! What fonts did you use? Our Danes eat with their bowls on top of a stool.

I Saw the Light and Have Converted. Puppy Love!

Spirals are GREAT for these types of patterns, with lots of tiny, random shapes. -
Looks like its working great!

Nice!!! Oddly enough, I'm working on a shelf-sitting pattern of the same verse over on my right-hand monitor.

Yep, I had it all stained and glued to the backer and the frame cut and ready to go, when I realized that something was a bit odd.....the "S" was backwards. I'd glued it on the backer UPSIDE DOWN. Thankfully, it popped loose with just a little prying and only one tiny peninsula breaking off (his eye). Glued that back on, sanded down the correct side to get rid of the glue residue, re-stained, re-cut the backer (it wasn't salvageable, I tried), and reassembled everything the correct way up this time. LOL Frame still fit, at least!

Nice!!! ROFL I always blame my uneven horizons on the curvature of the earth. Also my inability to throw/catch footballs, baseballs, or frisbees. "The earth rotated, it threw off my aim."

Love it!!
