Very nice Denny! I really like both woods. I’m having scroller’s withdraws. Won’t be able to unpack my saw till next week.

Beautiful Vette ! I almost bought one like that years ago. Then Dad found out what insurance was for a 17yr old boy and a ‘68 427 Vette was...no way...

Very beautiful work! The finish turned out fantastic!

Follow and be accepted by master Scott...I guess lol.

I hope you’re right!!

Thank you oh master...lol

Great show, Congrats! I would love to do a bunch of those .

None. Pattern off Scott’s website

Very nice! But it should have been blue and said Royals!!

Thanks Kevin! Inkscape doesn't seem that hard... for the basic stuff. Now GIMP is another story. I'll have to work on that one a while before it's useable.

Really cool! Pizza table...makes me hungry thinking about it...lol.

Looks cool!

Thanks Dave!

Very nice Kevin...I'll bet the family was ecstatic over it.

Very beautiful Marshall! Congrats on the fair ribbon! I hadn't thought of entering scroll work at the fair...would be good exposure for my work. What category was it entered in? Really nice detail, and contrasting woods.

Thanks Marg! I looked around the shop and thought "I haven't made anything with the Mahogany yet" so I used it. Glad I did...I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. And Brenda, the owner, just loved it.

Thank you Kevin! Not bad for a rank armature...eh ?

Thank you for getting me pointed in the right direction! I'm getting better at Inkscape...but am still a long way from where I want to be. I hope to have time to just play with it later this month. When I get better at it I'll try GIMP. I looked at it a time or two but need to go through the videos again.

Cool! Word gets around...then up pops a request from out of nowhere. Love those surprise orders.

Scott is turning me into a "Puzzle Zombie". I'm having a blast cutting these. Went to pick my cat up Mon. when we got back from KC. Showed the girl at the front desk the "Rescue" dog I cut...she went nuts and started showing it to all the girls. I cut a Scottie for her...and she loves it! She was going to put it up on a Scotty forum she's on. I may see orders from that. I also took up a Tabby cat She showed it to the DR. and she thought it was really cool. I told her if they sell one I'll donate $5 to the cat shelter they support. The Dr. liked the idea...so they are displaying the Tabby and have a pile of my business cards at the front desk by the register!! One of the other girls wanted a Jack Russell so I got it cut and wrapped before I packed up my saw...will deliver it in the morning! Love the shrink wrap idea Scott! The owner at The Rustic Barn wanted one to display also...so I wrapped the Rescue dog and put it up there! Not bad for a little word of mouth and just 4 or 5 days.

The last couple of weeks have been crazy. With being in KC over Turkey Day and getting ready to head south I don't remember if I posted these. Travis did a super program and I used it to modify and cut a bunch for the grandkids. I actually did 3 more this week and sent them to the grands in FL. Will probably do more when I get to the border.

Love it! I have to try a leash holder when I get to TX and unpack my saw!

Got my first request for a special piece. The Rustic Barn is an antique/flea market type place. I've had a few of my woodworking pieces up there for about a year and a half. I've been showing the owner and her husband, has a small engine repair shop in the next building, all the stuff I'm doing with the scroll saw. She put my Elvis up front instead of back in my space, and she put my "scroll guy" business card holder on a shelf right beside the register! The other day she said she wanted to keep a box of tissues on the front counter and wondered if I could make a tissue box cover like the one I had there for sale...but with a barn on it. I started to work on it and ran into a snag and asked for some help. Jim Ern helped me out big time...Thanks again Jim!! He sent me his take on it in SVG file so I could play around with it. I changed the font, easier to cut and space, and put a "barn" roof on it. Then cut it out of Mahogany. I put the barn on opposing sides and a flower design on the other two. Light sanding and a couple of coats of Minwax spray semi-gloss poly. and it's done! Took it up there with a couple other pieces...she loved it!! You should have seen her eyes light up when she saw it...makes all the work worthwhile. Only charged her $25...but I'll bet I'm getting a bunch more in free advertising with it and my scroller card holder kept right on the front counter where no one can miss them! And before I left she asked me if I would mind her moving my pieces up front while I'm gone, my shelf is kind of in the back of the shop at the end of an isle, I thanked her !

I do love them! Put them on Monday and cut with them all week. It seems to be faster to go from one hole to the next...? I don't fumble to get the blade in the right spot and pushed back, it's just quick and natural. Real smooth also. And my saw is just sitting on a piece of 3/4" ply that is sitting on the metal bolt together stand. It will probably be even better when I bolt the top to the stand...and bolt the saw to the top. And besides...They're RED !

Thanks John! It didn't sink in when you answered Les... When you told me the same thing I dug up a mm to inch calculator...Oh yea...it is over all size. Oops...sorry for asking the same thing.
