Was snowy/cold this past week, so I did a few pens for fun. One is Amboyna Burl, One is A checker board of Ash and Sapele, one is acrylic, I forget the colors name. One is a segment of Amboyna Burl ,Holly, Wenge, and zebra wood. and one other is a slimline pen made with redwood burl

I did the same, One is sitting in my shop half made, 4 or 5 plans of different styles are there as well, all printed up ready to go but me.

Hi, thanks for your replies. I some how lost the text to my post when uploading image. Soooo let me explain what I used to make this piece. It is made from 1x12s pine boards with 1/4" birch wainscoting, for the back, from a project a long long time ago. The outside is painted a deep navy blue, the inside is natural with water based poly (Varathane) It stands about 78" tall 18" wide. Thanks Carl

I just made a Santa ornament and the actuating lines are narrower then the drill bit needed to start, the smallest i have are 1/16 . If you go smaller how do you get the blade threaded, I can barley get the blade in as is. What am I missing. Not good but here is pic of the ornament.

I did one, made from 3/4" oak, walnut bowtie, painted, cedar nose, painted. Stands about 8 1/2" High. Was fun, thanks for pattern. Carl

I put mineral oil on mine 50 years ago, use them all the time. nothing ever happened. We don't go from the stove to trivet all the time. We put hot food in bowls and serving plates to protect wood table and Formica counter top, that what trivets are made for. Also that is why they are slotted, so as to dissipate heat.

I have the Dewalt 735. I buy all my lumber rough cut, accept a small amount of pine. I had it for at least 10 years, love it.

Yes, it reminds people where the wood comes from, in a small way. I do this on a lot of pieces I have made. Thanks every one for your reply. Carl

Very nice. I make boxes, I saw the scroll saw box plans but thought things would fall out or not be private. I never thought that a liner would be used, that changes everything. I will have to try one. Nice work. Carl

I am making a box, not done yet, needs a final finish. I thought I wood burn a desert or beach scene on lid. I might even affix a scroll sawn scene on it yet, not sure what i want to do. It is 3/4" Cherry and the lid is 3/8" Ash that i re sawed. Bottom is 1/4" bb ply. Lift lid is maple live edge. The lid was cut away from the box with the bandsaw, that gives the smallest kerf. The splines are walnut. Sometimes i make something and just go along with it and see what happens.

My basement shop is warm in the winter and cool in the summer... But those stairs are the beast, and to think i used to fly up those stairs 2-3 steps at a time.

Geez, you can still move it ??? Great, I will be 77 before the year ends and dread the thought of moving those heavy floor models. Jointer. TS. Sooo I will just wait till they move me.

I think if you would conduct poll, you would find out that most who have a scroll saw also have a bandsaw and table saw and miter saw, unless you just want to cut plywood's. me thinks. Good luck on your search

Finished this the other day, have not done much yet since i got my used hawk scroll saw. Got tied up with other things. Hope to do a lot more looking forward. A Steve Good pattern worked out fine. I have to do the finish yet. I am all out of spray poly.

I have a Hawk 226 since September, bought it for 200$. Was looking at HF, Wen , and others. I know it is over 25 years but looks brand new. After i bought it i looked at the others and they look like toys. I would try to get the price down some, seems high/ Great saw though, have no regrets
