I havent been doing much cutting of late as I have been looking after my Dad, but I just managed to finish this one of Dobby from the Harry Potter films. Don R (Old Crow) was kind enough to turn my picture of Dobby into a pattern and I added the words to finish the pattern. It's cut from 4mm Birch ply and finished with one coat of sanding sealer and one coat of Celulose lacquer. Hope you like it.
Thanks again to Don R for the Dobby pattern.

I decided enough was enough and took time out from making those trinket boxes (since February I've made 90) I was getting scrollsaw withdrawal symptoms lol.I decided to cut this for my next door neighbour who has just had a little girl. I originally backed it with Pink card but it didn't show up too well so I changed it to black. It's one of Paul's patterns (Grampa) Thank you Paul for your pattern It's cut from 6mm birch ply and finished with 1 coat of sanding sealer and 1 coat of celulose lacquer. All comments welcomed.

I know some people have had problems logging in recently, but in general the site is kept running free from trouble 99.9% of the time. This is due in no small part to the efforts of Russ and Steve.  This is all done in their own time and after doing a days work in their respective jobs.  I would just like to say THANK YOU to Russ and Steve for all the time and effort they spend making this such a great site for us all to use.   Thank You Russ, Thank you Steve.

The Coffee Shop / Merry Christmas

« on: December 24, 2014, 06:16:32 pm »

I'd like to wish all my "second family" here a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

I apologise for not being around too much over the last few months but I have been taking care of my father. He had a minor stroke last June and he was recovering well untill he got a bad water infection a couple of weeks ago which knocked him for six. He is slowly getting over it now after his third course of antibiotics.

Brag Forum / Segmented Bowl

« on: August 17, 2014, 04:25:28 am »

It's not scrolling, but I thought you might like to see the latest project to come off my lathe.

The base is beech, the centre ring is Amerillo and Iroko, the top ring is "YGIAGAM" (Your Guess Is As Good As Mine) If anyone knows what the top ring is made from please let me know as it was an odd piece I found in a scrap bin and I liked the colours in it.

Brag Forum / Opinions please

« on: July 29, 2014, 11:26:56 am »

Firstly I'd like to thank Grampa (Paul) for his beautiful pattern.
I just stack cut 2 of them and I'm not sure which backer to use the Red or the Black?? 

They are cut in 4mm Birch ply and finished just with one coat of spray sanding sealer and one coat of celulose lacquer (in a HVLP spray can) I picked up the lacquer at a display stand at a big woodworking show (Yandles in Somerset) it's a new product and as you can see one coat is plenty.
