TJ, I apologize for not welcoming you earlier... I must have missed your earlier post...anywat, I didn't know you were from Fort Smith. I was there a couple of years ago...Nice town. My sister lives in Mena, Arkansas so we visited there. Welcome again!

Welcome, from Eastern Washington State... I am pretty new too...I am crazy slow at scroll sawing but I don't make as many mistakes that way. I have been part of the village for a couple months now and have learned a ton from the folks on here. I really like looking at the "Bragging" section to see others ideas. Glad to have you on here! mc

Wow, those storms are crazy scary, glad they were safe. They are lucky to have you in their family to help...nice plaques!
-
Very clever, I love your fleet, I bet kids will love them as well! hope the market went well!
-
As always, wonderful work...I too love that piece of wood!
-
Awww, I can see why you loved this piece...so well done!
-
Dave, Do you keep your piece (on the saw table) that you want to be raised up opposite of what you discussed in the inlay technique (located in Resources>Articles & How-to>Tutorials>Scroll Saw Inlay)? I suppose you could do it in different woods, like you did for your Batman top of your box... Thanks

Thank you Kevin for looking this up for me, much appreciated. I must have a bit newer one since I have the white flip tension lever on top. So I will have to do what Ray suggested. I am thinking for switching to the Pegas clamps, which probably doesn't allow that either, is my thinking. Thanks again! mc

Kevin, I have a Green EX 21, would it have the tension lever you are speaking of since it is an older saw? if so where is it located? I have been cutting 3/4 inch walnut with a spiral 2/0 blade which I enjoy using but I have been breaking quite a few of them in the walnut..it is probably too thick but if I can keep from breaking them I would like to continue using them...at least for this project.... Thanks, Marie

I love walnut, too bad you are so far from WA state! That is a bit far for a road trip. My Mom's family is from the Upper Penninsula though...Great find!
-
What a wonderful Idea....so creative...thank you so much for sharing!
-
Welcome back Doug, I am one of the newbies...very new... but working on just sawing lines (which often have a mind of their own!) ...will look forward to seeing your work!
-
I really like how you used the grain to make this. well done!
-
Kris, very nice work! what size type of blade did you use for the grass and tree leaves/branches (small ones)?
-
Barb, these look nice! I hate it when my wood projects break...especially when the piece gets lost... The hummingbird looks great without the border...mc
-
I like all the different depths. Reallly nice work. I too like using all my tools rather than seeing them gathering dust
-
perfect cross for Easter. Really nice!

Sleepless in Washington state over Scroll Saw choice

Yes, I know where Umatilla is....looked like a pretty quiet town. I love your boat seat idea! I will see if I can find one on Craigslist. Also, great suggestion on tilting the table...I will try that. Thanks again! -
Beautiful wolf......What do you use to keep the resin contained? Is it clay? Do you then sand it flat when it is dry?

Thank you so much. I do like my EX a lot, I am still trying to figure out lighting and maybe a different angle. I do art work and would love to have it tipped up like my easel but not sure how to go about doing that. It is on a really nice stand that it came with... maybe I can put a couple bricks under the back wheels....maybe it is just my seat height...not sure...will keep trying things to see what will work best for me. Where in Eastern Oregon do you live. We went down there to Bend to ski last year...wow that town has grown....Thanks again! -
I really like this...well done!
-
Thank you, my friend, I wouldn't be doing all of this without your's and other's encouragement.

The one problem I ran into was when I did the 45 degrees, my chop saw wouldn't cut to the very bottom of the wood, so that is why I had to take it to the bandsaw so I could flip it around and cut again the last bit. So I actually, did the first 45 degree, ran to the band saw cut off most of the excess that the miter saw didn't and then back to the miter saw...Kind of goofy, but it worked. If you find a better way, please let me know.

Jerry, I didn't have a pattern...Well, I did used my mother's 1930's little cedar chest that she got when she graduated from school as the shape. I liked the round front and back top and the little feet and handles. I think I will make more like this but try different scroll ideas...

Gene, Well, I kind of figured I wanted the dovetails to be on both sides, so I took small scraps of walnut, cut them to the thickness of the Hackberry, made a dovetail like I always do (I can't remember what they are called, "half blind dovetails" maybe?") took that piece to the bandsaw and cut off most of what was left of the walnut (carefully), then took it to the chop saw and cut that at a 45 degrees, did it again until I did it 8 times for 4 pieces of Hackberry (2 on each side) than I glued it all together and by golly it worked! I tried it on 1/2 inch thickness the first time and I thought it too thin. This is just under 3/4" and it was less scary. hope that makes sense.
