Frank, I think you did very well regarding the light source. Enjoy your holidays and we will look forward to seeing you next year.
-
Very nice and pretty! How big around are they and how thick is the plastic?
-
Please show us a picture of the pen when it is done @JTTHECLOCKMAN. That poem was very meaningful to my father and the saying is the title he used for his autobiography.

Very nice, very effective @FrankEV. The picture tells a story. And it hits home for me, having spent a good deal of time on the beach. The colors make it and the wood is the perfect color for the sand. Did you do the black highlights on the flip-flops with the airbrush?

Very nice Bernd! Great detail work. Some of that looks quite delicate.

Has anyone used this? It is advertised as double-sided woodworking tape. They say it has good holding quality but removes easily from wood, leaving no residue. Sounds interesting. I wonder if we could use it in place of blue painters tape. We could put it on the wood in place of the blue tape, then stick the pattern directly to it with no need for any additional glue. And we could use it to hold pieces together as in stack cutting. I am sure there are / will be many other uses.

Very well done Dave! The airplane is super. I also like the way you used the features in the backer board so the coloration in the wood gives the appearance of clouds behind the airplane while the lettering is in light colored wood.

I managed to kill one vacuum cleaner with the constant on/off. A little bit of research indicates that this is indeed the case.

Finally got my Top Vacuum the way I like!!

Very nice Richard! I use a discarded CPAP hose for the same purpose. -
Beautiful work Don!

Very nice work Danny. I don't think I have ever seen a cross pattern quite like that one. -
I had a Wen 4208 and eventually gave it to my son and got a Wen 4214 for myself. My issues with the 4208 include the lack of a hand crank as BadBob mentioned, the throat depth (8" vs 12"), and the spindle travel (2" vs 3"). In addition, the 4214 has the laser spotter, a work light, a lever to control the speed and a readout for the speed. And I got it on sale for $215.

Very nice Frank, striking pattern made better with excellent cutting and colorization. I can visualize it in B&W and can see that the grey highlights for the wings and body make a big difference. I would also be interested to see it in color, so please post that if and when you decide to do it.
-
Very nice Don.
-
Post pictures please. We would love to see these. Regrets I use a different type of scroll saw and cannot advise regarding the Hawk 214.
-
Those are really nice Frank. I like the patterns and your renditions are beautifully done. My daughter loves butterflies and I might have to do one of those for her. But I do not care for red oak and will have to use some other wood for hers.
-
Very nice cut Charlie. And one of myall-time favorite books/trilogies.
-
Judy @ChelCass, when I click on the links, the pictures are too small and I cannot see anything.
-
That really is a bad photo.

@dgmanYes, clear packing tape is difficult to remove from the wood and probably would leave a residue. That is why I suggested using the clear packing tape as the second layer. Layer 1 - something that is easy to remove and does not leave a residue - everybody has their own favorite for this. Layer 2 - clear packing tape for blade lubrication. Place it here so you do not get sawdust under it obscuring the pattern lines. Layer 3 - the pattern.
-
Several brands of scroll saw are based on the original excalibur design: see the article " Excalibur Scroll Saw - What Happened?" posted in Resources, Articles in this forum. The Pegas, Seyco and King scroll saws are excellent examples of this design. But the scroll saw now marketed as "Excalibur" is a lower quality version of that same design.
-
Why not apply the packing tape first and then glue the pattern on top of it? That way you would get the lubricating effect without any issue of getting sawdust under the tape and blocking the view of the pattern. I assume that you have another/first layer to allow easy removal of the pattern and I am not suggesting changing that, just reversing the order of the top 2 layers.
-
Beautiful! That must have taken many hours.

I do not have an issue with blades breaking. I just cut 2 fretwork crosses using Pegas MGT blades. See my post "Cross" in the Bragging Rights" forum. I cut the cedar cross using one MGT#3 blade and started the white oak cross using the same blade. That blade was not cutting the 1/2" white oak all that well so I changed to an MGT#5 blade. I used just the 2 blades for the 2 crosses.
-
These are from a Sue Mey pattern. She has a LOT patterns of crosses. The one on the right is 1/4" cedar and the one on the left is 1/2" white oak (more substantial). Cut on my Pegas scroll saw. I used a Pegas MGT#3 blade for the cedar cross. I started the white oak cross with the same MGT#3 blade but soon changed to a MGT#5 blade. I intend to put a backer on the cedar cross to give it support. I am still deciding how to finish the two of them.
