  1. The fist one I made I used the whole Steve Good pattern. Then I removed spring time,(the last 3). The last two were boughten by a couple, one like purple and one liked green. I saw one of them a year later at same craft fair. He told me they hung them up outside were the look at their fav color with their morning coffee. then I made a custom one for my Doctors nurse. The pattern said spring time on it so this is the first one i thought of
  2. i use what they call hollow core door skin. both sides are ok, but plain wood. It has like a thin foam center and wood vainer on both side, also has strands of fiberglass running lengthwise so can't sand to much or shows. I get it at homedepot for between $20.00 -$25.00 a 4'x8' sheet
  3. A friend posted the first pic on Facebook. I liked it so I thought I would try something different. I poured epoxy resin first, then cut the pattern I made, then filled in with more epoxy
  4. I use the same thing, a meatal scratch awl. Works nice on all woods no matter the thickness
  5. I made a couple more of the patterns from Ian, the lights aren't as bright because i couldn't wait until dark before delivering them
  6. got the pattern from facebook group, scroll saw works and free patterns, one of the members "Ian Pallister" posted this and several others saying patterns free to use and please dont sell. I bought the lights on amazon 3.3' colored led lights with batts
  7. the first scroll saw i bought was from harbor freight, it broke in the first week. then i bought a wen, it made me want to keep scroll sawing. either one you need to get the adapter for pinless blades. I was going to buy a dewalt and the price went way up, saw that i could get a remanufactured excalibur or King 21" from amazon for about the same price. I'm so glade i did, 3yrs and the only thing i changed was the blade holders. bought the cheaper ones first then got the pegas, it knocked the vibration to less then half, i dont know about any other saws
  8. Welcome to here I started with a harbor freight scroll saw (lasted a week before breaking), then got a Wen with pinless adapters. I got hooked in just a few months, now i have a 22" Excalibur. Have been able to find good ppl here great patterns and learn how to make my own in just a few years. Have fun and I'm sure only going to see you here at night when to dark to use your new toy
  9. I got the coffin pattern form Alex Fox and the jack-o-lanterns I got from here last year and made some changes
  10. a friend handed me an antique brass ring told me to see what i could do with it. after a week of bouncing ideas back and forth, he usually said, "that's nice but", do what you do and think outside the box. so, i stopped asking him and this is what he'll get. either he'll like it or it's another fancy piece of fire wood. this is more spring than sport
  11. i use spray glue to attach paper to wood
  12. your very welcome have fun
  13. sorry i didn't see this until today i only have it on inkscape. I learned from here to make pictures into patterns on here inkscape eagle flag.svg
  14. Just finished today, got the pattern from a pic in a group I go to, "Scroll saw works and free patterns" from a picture posted by John Chestnut. This is made out of 1/2" reclaimed Oak (maybe red Oak). It's 12" x 7 1/2", with a poly seal on it. I used Inkscape and what i learned here to copy pattern
  15. This is a Sue Mey pattern a bought awhile ago, several people like it before so i stack cut 4 more, painted with mica powder, then put alcohol ink colored epoxy resin in the cuts I made
