Very nice Joe! The cutting is precise and the stained glass backer with bubbles is a nice touch. This pattern allows one to cut ever smaller features to the limit of how far one wants to go. And you have done it well. I cut the similar Fiona pattern a few years ago. It was my first use of the 2/0 blades. I honed my skills at cutting the very small.

I have the ATMOtube Pro which I bought 3 years ago. Their current model, the ATMOtube Pro 2 is considerably pricier. Both use a cell telephone for control and readout. I think it is giving good quality (accurate?) information. It shows air pollution when I expect it and clean air when I expect that. I have no experience with any of the many others on the market. I would go by the reviews on A***zon to try to get some sense of the product.

One might also consider investing in an air quality monitor. Mine gives readouts on particulates and VOCs in the air. The particulates (PM1 and PM2.5) are the particles (Particulate Matter) that stay suspended in the air. VOC is a measure of Volatile Organic Compounds like evaporated solvents. Both can get in our lungs and cause problems. Seeing the readouts reminds me of the need to wear a mask and to ventilate my shop.

Very nice @Old Joe. Lot of fine detail work there and very well done! I admire Fiona's work and have done a few of her patterns. There was a discussion a while back about smaller blades, such as the 2/0, breaking. Sometimes they break just from putting tension on them.

After I drill the entry holes, I flip the project piece over and touch up the holes from the back side using the very same drill press. Then I lightly sand to smooth the surface.
-
That is a LOT of cuts! Very well done.

That is a real work of art Yam @yamatetsu. I can see the work that went into doing it; carefully cutting each piece, saving each piece and painting them. And then getting each tiny piece back in the right place!

I use a Foredom brand "Super Quiet Dust Collector". It works great and is very quiet. I got off Marketplace a year or so ago along with a Seyco scroll saw etc.

I asked the online AI to "make a scrollsaw pattern of the Knights Templar" and got this. You could try likewise, vary the wording of the request and maybe get something different.

Nice work! And it is great to hear that Chestnut is making a comeback.
-
I had to look up the Charcot foot condition; that sounds serious. Best wishes for a good outcome and for your return to scrolling.

To others, "42" has a similar meaning. meaning of 42 - Search

Nice work Richard. FWIW, I have had my Pegas 21" for 5 years and still love it every bit as much as I did when I first got it. You can look forward to a long and happy relationship with yours.

I have never bought anything from TEMU. But, per this thread, I looked at wood on their site. What I saw was a nice variety of exotic wood but only small pieces and pricey.
-
I cut a hanger from wood and attach it with titebond 3 glue. Don't need the screws. Titebond glue holds wood well enough for most 1/4" scroll saw work.

I posted my review. And I have started reading your second book.
-
Monti @Montserrat, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your first book and have downloaded the second one. I relate to your characters in many ways: hobbiest woodworker, retired PhD with a food allergy and drive a Subaru Outback. I am looking forward to reading the next book. edit - also a member of the local makerspace.

Very nice Paul @Scrappile. How big is it? What woods did you use? I see woods that look like aspen and walnut but can only guess at the others.
-
Very nice scroll work Richard. In addition to the scrolling, I really like the walnut background for the tree of life.
-
Very nice work Kirk. Surprised that you could/would do something this detailed using any kind of 1/8" wood, much less big box store wood.
-
You could try to ask AI to do it. Submit the picture and ask "make a scroll-saw pattern from this picture." You might be surprised at how good it does. -
Is it searchable?

Condolences to Patty and family. I bought my first scroll saw several years ago (about 7 years ago) and was struggling with what to do with it. Then I found some of Steve's YouTube videos and his blog site. That got me started and kept me going for many years. I have continued to follow his daily posts up to now. He was a prime factor in making this an enjoyable hobby to me in my retirement. The picture is of a piece I made from one of Steve's patterns and one of my very earliest scroll-saw projects, probably the earliest one still on display in my home. Thank you, Steve, may you rest in peace.

"Nice work" is an understatement. This is a lovely design, beautifully executed using a great choice of woods, commemorating an important date in the lives of Christians.

Best wishes for you with your stents. I got 2 of them 22 years ago and am still ticking and kicking. Hoping for that and more for you.
