    Thanks all. I appreciate the leads. The spring for the tree does seem to be a hard item to find. There are some links but they seem to be dead ends. https://www.etsy.com/listing/260008367/glitter-spring-coil-base-christmas-tree I'll also probably end up making something.

    Hmm, answering my own post - using the Microsoft CoPilot site might lead to some interesting designs if I figure out the right wording to ask it.

    My store-bought Christmas tree topper light-up angel burned out last year. I'd like to make a 3D star or angel that I could use, maybe multiple layers with LEDs. I did a SSV search but didn't turn up much. Has any seen any nice looking scrollsawn ones? Thanks in advance!

    Alex, your creativity in patterns never ceases to amaze me. Well done!

    A friend is a huge Chicago Sky fan (Women's NBA). His birthday was last week so I made him a wall hanging. It's hard to see but there are LED lights behind it. It's three layers of primed MDF with a couple of coats of spray paint.

    Not really sure. I just call it a layered sports logo. Have made quite a few.

    Bigprint is another option to printing large items on smaller paper -- https://woodgears.ca/bigprint/

    I finished this one just in time. Found the pattern on Etsy and changed the name to YTB = "You're The Best"! Bob

    Paul - I did a few modifications to your pattern to remove the body and zoom in on the face. I was able to get it done in time for Christmas. I really appreciate the pattern! Bob

    Thanks Paul!!!! I'll give it a shot and post a photo when I get it done. Bob

    Hi All - this little guy was 12 years old and had to be put down last month. I'd love to give his owner a framed scroll saw version of the photo for Christmas but my pattern-making skills just aren't at this level yet. If anyone has time and can convert this to a pattern I'd greatly appreciate it. The image is only 600K but I've not been successful in tracking down the original. Thanks! Bob

    Thanks Paul and Travis. I went with Travis' pattern and while it took me a while to get to I think it came out OK. Thanks so much for the patterns! Bob

    I found out I'm allergic to cedar. Had the mask and glasses but no gloves. The skin peeled off the palms of my hands. That same website has a toxicity list for most woods: https://www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/wood-allergies-and-toxicity/

    I did this Portuguese water dog a couple of years back as a Christmas gift. I have another Travis pattern that I want to get to as well.

    I haven't forgotten about this one. I still have a bat house, colorado flag, and Chicago Cubs logo to make before I can get back to scrolling!

    Amazing - thanks guys! That was the highest resolution image she had. These darn cell phone cameras! Much appreciated. I'll post the cutting once done. Bob

    Hi guys - this little white dog had to be put down last month. His owner's birthday is next month, and I'd love to get a pattern so I can give him a framed cut of his pup. I didn't crop it but only need the white dog. I've tried to create a pattern without success, so I know how hard all-white dogs are! Much appreciated! Bob

    My buddy lives just south of Cleveland and now that the Cleveland Indians are becoming the Cleveland Guardians we were talking about the old Cleveland sports team logos so I made the old logo for the Indians and Browns for him.

    I think there were 70 pieces (actually 71 since one snapped!), all select pine. I'd guess it took 8 hours. The cuts were a couple of hours then a few hours sanding. The biggest problem was the frame, which I sprayed and it kept showing run marks. Since I was gluing onto a backer board and I didn't want misalignment, and wanted it in a certain spot, I cut the outline of shape as the first cut, then used the blank clamped to the backer to place and glue the pieces. If you do this be very careful! with squeeze out or you'll glue the blank to the backer as well!

    I made this for a little girl's second birthday. She's obsessed with "Minnie". I got a bit of lift from spraying the red non-Rustoleum paint with Rustoleum clear gloss but the rest turned out fine. I used the "polycrylic" method to transfer the lettering.

    I love that 3rd pic with the chair on the beach! Is that your pattern?

    My first attempt at a pelican (JGR pattern). A bit loose on some of the areas but it's a start.

    Made this one for a lake house in upper Wisconsin. There are bald eagles all over the area. I love watching them.

    I've never attempted something with individual (i.e. not connected) letters . Is there a process or just cut 'em out and glue them down so they look right?
  25. rhw
    Nice work! There are videos on YouTube about "fixing gaps" in intarsia. It takes some practice but you hold two pieces together and then cut right between them. The blade then shaves off the material that's causing the misfit and tightens the gaps.
