    Here is a drink coaster I just finished. The pattern I used came from Scroller and I reduced it down to 40%. I did this as a test to see how it would come out. It is about 1/8" thick so I'm thinking if I do this again I will stack about 6(?). Next time I will pour in a small amount of color epoxy and let that set before finishing with all clear epoxy. I think I would also use water color paint to give the coral some color. A little lighter on the shark and it should be pretty good. Happy scrolling all …

    For my son (I started late), he will be going into freshman year of college this fall. He will be a psychology major. So I looked up psychology under clipart and that is what came up!

    A bit late, but this is a project I have been working on over the weekends during this time. This is the first project I have completed in over 30 years. I learned that I need to work on patience, scrolling requires much patience and I am glad I picked this back up again. I learned can not feed the wood quickly or "force feed" the saw to get done faster. I should have known better than cut the outside first! This was my first try at epoxy resin, I like the idea and may try this in some other projects that I am planning, like drink coasters. Comments and suggestions are definitely welcome. Tom

    Man that looks familiar. My dad always had me stand to the side when cutting, never had a problem till a month ago, glad I did not get complacent and remembered his lesson

    Morning all! My father got me into scroll sawing in the early 70's, he did amazing work up until his passing about 4 years ago. His work was mostly given as gifts his favorite work were baskets. I left for the service (a 23 year career) and am working on a second career. I got my fathers DeWalt scroller, and now searching myself to figure what I would like to do the most of with his scroller. Scroll saw village has been a blessing to find! I am loving all the different ideas out there and all the various projects folks are working on. I eventually want to get enough projects done to take to craft shows. I like the idea of projects with mini clocks or even weather stations (barometer, thermometer, humidity), etc. and to try to tie it in with the state, crabs!, and or a car culture that is around the area. I've babbled enough ….. Good Scrolling everyone! Tom

    I love this idea, I can see how the angled top would need careful planning! Thanks for sharing
