    Been having a lot of fun with my scroll saw - here's most of the projects I've completed this week The first picture is of a pair of cute little animals - hedgehog and rhino; the second is a cutout ornament of my grandson's Bernese Mountain Dog, the third is a VW racer, and the last two are a "speed racer"! I was amazed at the woodgrain in this car. It was cut from a 2x4 - never knew they could have such great woodgrain patterns! Thanks for taking the time to look - as a beginner I can already see an improvement in my ability (as limited as it is )

    I received this email yesterday - maybe it will work for you! https://www.woodpeck.com/sapele-project-packs.html?trk_msg=14H0Q2P21E5418GHEMU5URE02S&trk_contact=RFJ6STQR8TGLM9BK98T7VHPCCS&trk_sid=P1H44OUPCNDRMCQ067UO5NLMVG&trk_link=K8090INOEHJ4N4UGM7NHME5BC0&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Woodpeckers+Woodshop&utm_campaign=12.04.21+Wood

    Great thing to do - thank you! When I was subbing at the elementary school I worked with a number of "difficult" kids. I had a room where I brought several guitars and amps. When kids were good I would allow them to play the guitars and show them some basic chords. The look of achievement on their faces was well worth the effort. There were several little guys that really took to it. At the end of the year, after contacting their parents, I let them pick out a guitar and amp to keep - they were so happy! The next fall I ran into one of them and asked if he was still playing it. He told me that he was now writing his own music!! You can never tell when something you do with kids will change their (and your) life! Thanks again for taking time with the kids!

    My wife and kids are looking to get me a new saw for Christmas. I read somewhere that the two saws above under were basically the same. The Delta is under $400 - the DeWalt is between $550 - 700 depending where you looks? Any comments/recommendation would be appreciated.

    Great looking job! Did you use mineral oil as finish?

    Great looking book-ends! Thanks for sharing it!

    My latest project - a helicopter made out of basswood. Used a mahogany stain on the propellors and Watson's Golden Oak on the body. Applied a satin gloss finish on it when done. Who knew I had all these toys justing waiting in my basement woodpile!

    At the speed I scroll that would be about a years work! I love the work!

    Here are some photos of what I've been working on this past week. First photo has two paw print ornaments for the grandson and his friend along, a Home plaque and a Jeep wall hanging for my other grandson Second photo is a whale puzzle. Third is my most ambitious so far - a Harley-type Skull with pistons for the son-in-law's workshop.

    Awesome painting skills!

    Impressive work! Not sure if I could even see that level of detail much less have sturdy enough hands to cut it! Thanks for sharing it!

    I did have a jpeg file - I downloaded it again and it finally worked!

    Here it is - another puzzle from Steve Good's patterns. A few minor mishaps but overall I think it looks pretty good for my second attempt at scrolling. Painted this one rather than staining it. FIXED!!

    This Forum can be dangerous to my bank account! Great job! I can envision this as a stocking holder with a few minor modifications.
  21. Jaguarguy
    That is too cool! I can only aspire to such good work (and a lot of mediocre work until then )

    I'm sure this has been covered before but my search didn't turn anything relevant to "wood retailers". Any suggestions with regards to purchasing wood? I've seen people question quality of big box retailers which is where I had been going. Is there a better source I'm missing?? I'm in S.E. Michigan if that helps. Thanks for your suggestions in advance,

    I have several in different stages of completion. A second puzzle of a butterfly, a couple of dog paw ornaments with the dogs' names, and a Jeep cut-out for one of my grandsons. Several other patterns in the pile, including a bowl.

    Hello all,

    Jaguarguy replied to Louie's topic in Introductions

    Welcome from a beginner from South East Michigan! Looking forward to seeing your work!

    I know that this is way below the level of most of you but here is my first project - almost! I used food coloring to dye the wood to make it non-toxic. Still trying to figure out which color(s) to stain the outline of the puzzle. BTW - definitely not my puzzle design!
