You have been busy. Neat projects. I wish you the best at the flea market.
-
Outstanding! Those would sell like hot cakes among the firefighters in my area.
-
Another fantastic project, Frank. I hope my wife doesn't see this. I've got enough pending projects as it is.
-
Love them, Ralph. The wood grain is outstanding. I believe they are cut from oak? It looks like you've been sitting behind the saw all along.

Fantastic job, Todd. Yes, spirals do take some practice. I just finished a piece using nothing but spirals for the first time. In my opinion it may be a little slower but I also feel you can be more accurate with your cuts after getting use to it. I've got four other patterns which will be my next cuts and they also will require spirals. Just stocked up on blades from www.artcraftersonline.com. Thanks Denny. One thing I've noticed with spirals, you can cut along the edge of a line easier when cutting along a thin strip. It seems if you are cutting along a thin strip with a non-spiral blade, you will inevitably cut deep causing the strip to become thinner and risk breakage.

New Inkjet ink tank printer capable of printing Large Patterns
Dak0ta52 replied to FrankEV's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Congrats on the new printer, Frank. I also just purchased a new Epson printer, WF7820, that prints 13 x 19 and it has a 50-sheet auto feeder on the back where I feed 11 x 17 paper. It also has the standard 8 1/2 x 11 tray that will hold 250 sheets (half ream). It took me a little while to figure it out and get it to print correctly (drawing paper from the correct location) but now that I've got it set, printing is a snap. Like you, most of my pieces are 11 x 14. It is also a multi-purpose like yours and prints excellent photo quality. It does use cartridges rather than having the tank but I can purchase a lot of cartridges for the difference in the cost between the ET16600 and the WF7820. The only thing I wish Epson would provide is a service like HP that sends cartridges when the ones in the printer starts getting low. I believe Cannon also provides something similar through Amazon. Again, congrats and I hope it works out perfectly for you. -
Very nice, Tbow. Still remember when "A Boy Named Sue" came out. It was my dad's favorite.
-
Very artistic. Great job!
-
Nice job, Frank. I like your segmented idea much better than the layered original pattern.
-
I'm glad my eyes weren't deceiving me. When I saw your post and then the pattern, I knew this couldn't be a pattern by Jim Blume. Not near enough cuts. The pattern is very nice but your cutting is excellent. Looks like either BB or Maple. I'm guessing 1/4 inch.
-
Great job, Denny. That's very unique. I take it the rings are split to interlock and then the split is hidden within the base loops. Also, what font did you use for the lettering?
-
Cute project, Deb. I'm sure your grandson will love it.
-
Nice pattern, Jim. And no, it's not to early to start looking forward to Christmas. Especially for those who have to plan on sales. I'll probably cut this pattern but it will be a while. I have 3 or 4 other patterns you made on my agenda and your patterns are not completed in just an hour or so. (At least for me.)
-
Thanks. That's why I ordered more spirals. I've got about 4 pending projects, one as a single and the other three are a set. They all will require spirals. I'm sure they will take some time as they are all Jim Blume patterns.

This is a Steve Good pattern titled "Country Church." It is cut on 1/4 Maple using Pegas #2/0 spiral blades. The backing is 1/4 pine painted flat black except for the area of the moon. It was my first attempt at completing a project using nothing but spiral blades and I must admit it took some getting use to. With all the bends and turns in this pattern I would have spent most of my time turning the project on the table. It's finished with natural stain and then received four coats brush on polyurethane with a light sanding between each coat. This was a project my wife plans on gifting to someone. Hope you like it.

Very nice Iggy. They turned out great.
-
Love them, Denny. I believe Steve Good also has some mini bird house patterns.

Welcome from SE North Carolina, Old Sarge. Lot of experience here in The Village. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Looking forward to seeing some of your work.
-
As usual, another great piece, Frank.
-
Very nice Roberta. The cuts are very clean. The outer ring is usually where I have troubles. Instead of being consistent it will be thick in some spots and thin in others. Yours looks very uniform all the way around.
-
Very nice, Woodrush. Looks like BB or Maple. Can't really tell if it's ply or solid. Regardless, it came out beautifully!
-
I comment on this project in another forum but again, this is a great illusion and a great scrolling job!

Grey pattern with Red outline in Inkscape
Dak0ta52 replied to Foxfold's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Don't forget that Travis has posted several videos on Inkscape and GIMP under Resources/Village University. I am like Barb in that I learn better by seeing. I've just started playing with Inkscape and can change patterns to gray/red. Now I'm wanting to take the next step and try some basic pictures. Thanks Brenda for the tutorial. It's always nice to see how others reach the end results. Sometimes the steps may be a little different but the final outcome is the same. -
Great cutting, Jim. I love that you left the Aspen natural. So many time the wood is as beautiful as the pattern.
-
Nice job, Tbow. I've actually downloaded that pattern to cut also. It looks like you cut that on maple and I'm not sure but it looks thicker than 1/4 inch.
