    Welcome to the village Jessie. I'm Jerry from Colorado. Well. most of us are not pros but enjoy scrolling. You will on occasion get frustrated, but you will find this is something for the most part very enjoyable and will have a difficult time stopping. Very addictive as well as this web site. Many helpful people willing to help. Enjoy!!! Jerry

    My finishing process is similar to yours in that I prepare my piece prior to cutting. Sand, wipe with damp cloth, sand again, until I am satisfied. When finished with removing fuzzies I will then stain. Since most of my projects are small my staining process is; pour a little stain into a zip lock bag, place my project in the bag, slosh the bag around for about a minute or two to ensure stain is in all the fret work, place the stained piece on a small oven rack, then using a small Home Depot air compressor will blow on piece to remove drips, wipe down. If satisfied will perform process again. Kind of a modified dipping process. When satisfied will spray Deft poly on it. I use the cheapest baggies I can find. If I make larger project will have to get some trays. That is my process. Jerry

    Paul, I am the guy who sent this pattern to you. I had posted similar projects on the SSV gallery when I first became a member. You had remarked you were looking for a similar pattern. It just so happens I was working on one requested by a friend. I sent it to you. When I saw your post of the finished project, I said to myself, that looks like my pattern. Made me proud to see it. I like how you finished yours. I usually cut mine out of a one piece of wood. My friend liked what I did, and I know your son will be proud to show his off. By the way, you have also helped me with scrolling military emblems. I have finished cutting two of them. Still have to put a finish on them. When complete I will be sure to send them to you. Thanks for your help. The folk's on SSV have been very helpful over the 2 years I have been a member. I'm wondering, are you anywhere close to Kennewick, WA. My cousin lives there. Jerry

    Tyler, you make your videos very interesting. I like your explanation as you cut and also suggestions how to finish a project. You give me ideas. Jerry

    My son is a wildlife photographer. He has taken several pictures of moose and if I remember correctly some of these pictures have water dripping from their mouth. Must be just sloppy drinkers. My son, and me too, would be proud to hang this on his wall. What did your wife think was missing from the picture? I like it. I wish my wife were still here so I could share my work with her, she loved when I would show it to her. Now I just bug my neighbors. As you can tell I like it. Jerry

    Larry, welcome, from Colorado to the Village. When you have questions, this is the place to be. You will find scrolling and this web site are both very addictive. Jerry

    Paul, I know your son will appreciate and cherish this gift. I have made a few similar to this for veterans and they have been appreciated by all. Great scrolling. The wood you used really makes it outstanding. Jerry

    I would like to add my experience with Denny. I have a Pegas scroll saw. Recently I had to replace the tension lever. The owner's manual showed having to remove the chuck, but the picture showed a different chuck, not the Pegas chuck. Well, not being mechanically inclined I shot a message to Denny. It didn't take long for Denny to respond. Was able to remove the tension lever and install a new one, all without removing the chuck. Seems to me Pegas would want to update their manual. Oh, by the way I did order the tension lever from Denny along with some other stuff. Jerry

    Looks like a real fishbowl. Wonder if it will hold water. Jerry
  17. jerry walters
    I don't know how you make patterns out of pictures. One day I may try it. Beautiful work. Jerry

    I had done this in the past, but your way of doing this is much easier than the way I was doing it. Really like your way. Guess what I am going to do tomorrow. Thanks for the tip Larry, and also for sanding things #2. Jery

    Great to have you back. The 59 Impala takes me back many years. When I was in college my uncle was a salesman for a Chevrolet dealer. If I had a particular hot date, he would let me borrow a demo car. The best one was the 59 Impala; my date was impressed. Jerry

    Being on the farm, if there was nothing to do, we had to pull or chop weeds. Once in a great while if there was nothing to do would ask dad if there was anything that needed to be done. If there was nothing, he would tell us to pick fly s**t out of pepper. At first, that was a hard job to do, till we found out that was his way of telling us we could have some fun.

    I must admit, I have a fetish for clocks. Growing up on the farm my dad would buy me a new pocket watch when school was out for the summer. I have half dozen wrist watches and pocket watches. Every room in our house a at least 1 clock, some rooms 4. Don't have one in my shop. As a Air Force navigator next to the compass, a good clock was one of the most important pieces of navigation equipment. So, you see I wouldn't make it through the day without a good clock.

    Thanks for the review, Tony. Coming from a trusted user means much more the counting the stars someone gives. Jerry

    Reminds me of can you find the "egg" in this picture, except now you are looking for a wolf. It's very cool and I really like it. Great sawing. Jerry
