Thank you all for the nice comments - 1/2 of the next one for a preview
-
I started scrolling 4 years ago - but life happened and I had to stop for the last 2 years. My first machine was a Ryobi, which was great to learn on, and it paid for my upgrade to a Pegas. I'm in love with it all over again. This is my first piece back into this, a birthday present. It took 5 days start to finish. The color differences in the bare wood only show up with the flash on the camera The wood is all Baltic Birch plywood - 3/4 for rim, 1/8 for main body and 1/4 for lettering and the heart

I made a big pile of Junk --and they love it! 25 x 18 overall I started with a 5 stack of 1/8 baltic cut with #5 and 3 Pegas mg blades to cut the junk pile -- the black is 3/8 and the letters 1/8 That pile thoroughly intimidated me from start to finish but it came out fairly close to my idea

Thank you to all of you

I bought a 20 inch mini pool ball set and used that for the cues - rack - and balls. Then I sanded a small flat spot for more surface for the e6000

Thank you sir -- it was about a week of planning back and forth with the customer-- then 4 days in execution

Don't sell yourself short -- 2 years ago I had never heard of a scroll saw
-
Challenge accepted -- Nailed it I believe 30 x 40 overall - all in 1/4 and 3/8 Baltic birch except frame. All cut with a #3 modified geometry. Learned some new things to add to my arsenal - always a good thing!! Sorry haven't been on here much -- spend most of my time with this work and grand littles

It's a logo for this guys company -- I think he's an independent insurance broker
-
My latest piece just Delivered to it's new home -- All 3/8 Baltic Birch cut with a #1 modified geometry -- a little over 2 feet from nose to shield tip (The whole time I worked on it I thought it was to hang sideways but found out it sits on the tip) -- Funny story -- 2 guys showed up looking to sell insurance to my roommate -- a week later they're picking this up

It's theirs -- I just sorta pulled it into 3d
-
2 of them packaged and wrapped hit 45 pounds

If you're buying it from home depot you're getting Birch -- not Baltic Birch -- HD and Lowes don't carry Baltic or Russian Birch. HD plywood is a lower grade and may be part of the reason for the tear out

Was it this one? -- lots of Diamondback companies out there -- just checking lol --https://www.facebook.com/Diamondback-Offroad-Rentals-111080803989814

It did come out pretty nice -- if I didn't have 2 more to do I don't think I would ever touch that green paint again though- but didn't have a choice on this.
-
Modified geometry is pretty much all I use -- Les sent me some Pike blades I haven't had a chance to try out yet but soon probably -- the #1 mg seems to be my go to blade lately for everything through 3/4
-
My son has started a new company with a couple friends of his -- and my cousin Ray Hendrix did the great graphic art on this piece -- so I ran with it 3/8 Baltic birch for the backing and the raised stuff all cut (my first mistake on this) with #1 modified geometry -- 24 x 24 over all

Can't wait to see it -- choosing the right picture as a model is kinda important too--
-
I get this every now and then -- not as bad as that -- but I use painters blue tape most of the time -- I have heard of another idea that I may try soon -- mirror image the pattern and apply to the bottom instead -- then the top gets nothing lifted -- but I also sand mine to 220 before taping
-
Exactly right -- hiding the drill holes is in there somewhere too -- 50 on this one -- the little brass looking rings are fun too -- that's done with a flat wood drill bit and painted on - not real
-
Actually the person who posted this said the guy did it during lockdown for covid
-
Looks like a tuba -- and yeah it's for real -- i guess -- somebody posted it saying this guy did it while on lockdown for covid

Whenever I'm feeling a bit too confidant I need to pull this out -- give myself a bit of humility -- this thing is insane!!
-
Finished and sent off -- I think it came out great! Completed size is 36 x 24 finished with Helmsman spar urethane (will be mounted on his house ). I'm having fun with these but my driveway looks like it snowed sorta -- lots of sawdust from grinding the shape. The final picture is the one I used for a pattern.
