  1. Finally finished my fretwork shelf. Came out pretty good. Was very enjoyable way to enjoy a few hours in shop on those rainy evenings.
  2. Hi and thank you for your comment. Actually I didn't think about that aspect of the cutting, good point but this is mostly just a showpiece and I enjoy cutting out as many intricate parts as possible. A super good way to pass a few hours relaxing and forgetting everything else. So far finished both sides and one shelf. Looking forward to tackling the back panel, should be fun, LOL.
  3. Started this project a few days ago, looks like it's going to be interesting. It's a free pattern that I downloaded from craftmanspace.com/ as an svg file submitted by Ceh Jan, and imported to Inkscape and sized it to my desired dimensions.

  5. Thanks. yes really takes a lot of patience. The finished one is actually the second model because the first one I was working on , which was about halfway done , accidently fell off my workbench and ended up on floor in a dozen or so pieces, lol.
  6. I did this model because it's a model of my car that I presently own. I just take the pictures online and take photos of the interior of the car and resize them with Inkscape after tracing the bit map.
  7. Thanks. I built this model because it's the model of my car that I presently own. I had also built a model of my 2008 kia Sportage that I owned at the time. It won 2nd prize in *Scroll saw Woodworking &Crafts* magazine's 2016 People's Choice Awards. I used glass for the cover and plexiglass for the sides. Just added a few pics of my Google Sketup drawings, thought it might help to give you an idea how to build your case.
  8. Thanks...the more details the more I enjoy doing this hobby.
  9. Thanks....a lot of work cutting those rims involving turning on lath and scroll sawing the spokes.
  10. I picked this car because that is the car that I presently own...lol
  11. Inlaid butterfly 2
  12. Thanks. Yes took quite a while for the painted one, quite a few steps to cut out the different colored parts by individual layers, but enjoyed every hours involved.
  13. Practicing my inlay cutting with scroll saw. A few flaws here and there , but came out fairly good. Would I call this inlay fretwork, lol. The patterns are by Alison Tanner.
  14. Thanks Charlie E. I suppose doing a lot of scrolling helps a lot doing those projects. Just got to work on hiding the entry holes.
