    Welcome from Dover, Delaware! You have found a good home.

    I'm there with ya! I've a friend heavy into photography and he uses the cloud and has 3 backup systems at his home. Said he had Murphy's Law visit him once, and he would not let that happen again. It is painful to have so much work become unusable when happens. Sorry for you loss.

    And beautiful work!

    Thanks. No, not yet, but it is on the calendar. So many holidays, so little time. And yeah, get her her own scroll saw! I like that idea!!!

    Thanks. These (free) are all from Steve Goods website. I just ordered his jigsaw pattern download and am going to give that a try in the not too distant future. Alas, there are some "honey-do" items that need attending to.

    My wife found my pattern file folder. Now every holiday is a reason to scroll. The Momma rabbit is 1/2 inch oak 5 inches tall. Eggs are 7 inches tall and 3/4 inch pine. Rabbit with flower is 8 inches tall and 3/4 inch pine. That was a big cutting change going from my last project using 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch for these. Got out the magnifying glasses for the lettering - lettering is time consuming for me - hope there is a tip/trick out there to make it easier, but I haven't found it yet. Started with #7 for lettering and quickly moved to a #5 and then to a #3. Still, it was slow going, but it turned out OK. Happy Easter everyone!

    Another Steve Good pattern - He has a bazillion of them and fortunately/unfortunately I like waaaay too many of them. I think I have the next scroll sawing year of my life coming from his website. But seriously, it's a good starting point for me. I think it will be a loooong time before I'm able come close to producing some of the beautiful works I've seen by the people who are on this forum. (is there an emoji for envy?)

    You must be one O them child scroll sawing prodigies, born with a silver blade in your mouth and sawing just after being born! Really, that is some beautiful work.

    DANG MAN! That's some mighty fine work!

    The sheet of 1/8th inch has been staring at me for too long, so I found this SG pattern and went for it. 7 layers if you count the backer (Steve did, so I'm going to too). For a change I timed myself on the top layer and it took just over an hour to cut it out. A little under 8"x10" Learned some more in the process . . . A torch is nice for burning off the fuzees, but be sure to clean off the ash/carbon left behind. I had to adjust the feed rate and saw blade speed - that took a few minutes to get used to. The plywood wants to bow - and that's not a bad thing as it gives more depth to the butterfly. But it complicates things a bit when it comes to framing it. Ah, the details never end, do they? Looking at it now makes me wonder how it would be to cut it out using 1/4" wood. Hmmmm.

    Family birthdays coming up and what to do? I know - look over scroll saw patterns and find something the ladies will like. Decided on this one and the sister-in-law liked it, so I made this one for our daughter. And learned another something in the doing - to get good joints, cut outside the lines and not on the line (at least it worked for me). The tissue holder has enough space inside to insert a colored backing of your choice for the cutouts to showoff the cutouts. 1/4 inch wood, so next time I'll try my luck at stack cutting 2 or 3. Still have to touch this one up and as usual can't decide on the finish. Luckily, I have wife who is full of those kinds of ideas.

    love, Love, LOVE IT! Looks like days of work and lots of eyedrops!

    Looking Good! Keep the saw dust flying (into a collector).

    Here's a wife inspired project. She recently got an order for a wedding cake and cupcakes and I remembered this Steve Good pattern. 25 inches tall - tiers are 17/13/9 inches in diameter. 1/2 inch plywood from Woodcraft with one 15oz. spray can of gloss white Spent more time in prep and finishing work as I did cutting it out. holds about 38 cupcakes. The hardest part was waiting for the paint to completely dry.

    I'll get back to that after I've mastered scroll sawing. Translation: Never/Nyet/NOT/nope/nada

    First time I've heard that sentiment. Very nice.

    Welcome from Delaware and sit on down and make some sawdust with us and show us what you are proud of.

    I've got a HP printer and they offer an "Instant Ink" monthly subscription service with various printing options. I'm guessing other printer manufacturing companies may have similar subscription plans. If you consistently print a fair amount, it might be worth it. The cartridges hold more and shipping is free.

    Now THAT just makes me want to stand up and salute! Really has high visual impact. I LIKE IT!

    Spidey was (and still is) one of my favorite characters when I was (and still am) growing up. Stan did alright for himself.

    Oh, dang! There goes that road trip.
