Brag Forum / Lamellar Backpack

« on: August 29, 2017, 04:13:27 pm »

I made a lamellar backpack with many wooden disks. Of course some of them have scroll saw images including the lid. Here is the whole process of how I made the bag:

I made this quite a while ago and need make things with a scroll saw again...

Brag Forum / Music box with name

« on: February 09, 2017, 04:51:10 am »

I made this box as a Christmas present to my sibling. It does not have a lot of scroll saw work but I needed to cut the name in reverse from the inside of the lid - I did it to avoid tear out. I made a video to show this and it can be seen from 1:48 in the video below.

I am not sure how much tear out there would have been with the bottom surface unsupported but I am happy with the result.

Brag Forum / Wooden laptop case with many scroll saw details

« on: September 15, 2016, 08:04:27 am »

I just completed a wooden laptop case with many details, and some of the bigger more tricky cuts made on the scroll saw. This includes the Raspberry pi logo on the front and a full sequence of the cutting steps can be seen here:

(I plan to document the whole build on the https://indukudesign.com/ site - but let me know if I anyone would be interested in me posting updates here).

AND I tried my hand at scrolling metal. The hinges for the case and the copper labels. This was quite an interesting experience...

I will have the whole process of the build on youtube. Here is the first video and many where many of the scrolled details can be seen up-close:

I made a whirligig and all the detailed parts were cut on the scroll saw. The whole process is shown here:

General Scroll Saw Talk / Progress over one year

« on: March 24, 2016, 05:46:48 am »

I bought my first scroll saw just over a year ago and are really happy with the decision to begin this as a hobby. I think I have progressed a bit in this time and wrote a bit about it on my blog (also images to compare the initial things I made with the things I am making now):

http://indukudesign.com/2016/03/23/scroll-saw/

I have to say thank you to the people who spend their time in writing in the forums, making blogs or videos or providing any information online to teach and help new scrollers to learn about scroll sawing. This forum has helped me a lot and of course much of the things I know I learned from Steve's youtube videos!

Brag Forum / Mood Barometer

« on: February 22, 2016, 04:12:45 am »

I made this item for a colleague who wanted a fun way to show how she is feeling on any given day  We came up with this design and it now hangs on her office door. Since then she actually seems to be in a good mood most of the time 

I have a full link to the building process and also made a time lapse video with all the steps for any one who may be interested (the blog and video is located here): http://indukudesign.com/2016/02/20/mood-barometer/

Any comments on my technique is helpful since all my "training" comes from online resources with no actual feedback.

Brag Forum / Analog clock with digital glitch

« on: January 23, 2016, 01:22:51 pm »

I saw a wooden cabinet once that was made to look as if it had a digital glitch (actually more of a VHS tape malfunction which I remember messed up some videos as a kid and there was this line across the screen warping everything). I was inspired by this and we need a new kitchen clock. I thus made this clock with a warped face. The whole process of making can be seen here (including a high speed video of my scroll saw technique - any critique would be welcome since I am new to this and completely self-taught): http://indukudesign.com/2016/01/23/warped-clock/

Brag Forum / First project made into a book!

« on: January 22, 2016, 04:26:41 am »

Shortly after I got my first scroll saw I cut this image. It was one of the first things I made after some test cuts. After a year I found a use for it and made it indo the front cover of a book. There are more images and more about this project in this link (under the competition since I will give it away):

Brag Forum / Earrings

« on: December 08, 2015, 08:07:03 am »

I made some earrings that I will sell online (link and more images: www.etsy.com/shop/Induku). I created the plans for the 3D earrings after seeing similar designs for christmas decorations. The other plans are just png vector images that I pasted into circles of 2 cm in diameter to get it centred.

I feel that I have improved a lot in the 10 months since I got a saw and feel comfortable to work start working on a wooden clock! Looking forward to hearing it tick.

Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Best finish for detailed projects?

« on: October 14, 2015, 08:48:38 am »

What do most people use to finish a project with very detailed cuts?

I do not like to use any oils since many of my projects have paper components (eg book covers etc - http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?topic=18948.msg171764#msg171764).

I have used spray lacquer but sometimes it accumulates in the narrow areas and I struggle to remove it. 

Hard wax is nice but also difficult to get into detailed areas.

What other suggestions do you have or am I doing something stupid with the lacquer?

Brag Forum / New books

« on: September 16, 2015, 04:01:25 pm »

I made a booklet a while ago:

http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?topic=18728.msg170553#msg170553

and mentioned that I will make a few more books. I am finally done and and here are the results. I had to learn some leather work as well as book binding techniques (really like coptic stitching). But I think well worth the effort. I will sell these online and there are several other pictures that can be found here:

https://www.etsy.com/se-en/shop/Induku 

(Not sure however if this link violates some policy, but let me know and I will remove it).

These were not cut through the paper since the paper was bound after the wood was lacquered but I may try this again in the future.

Brag Forum / Small booklet - scrolling through wood and paper

« on: June 08, 2015, 02:59:51 pm »

I made this gift for my mother-in-law. I stack cut three of the pictures and then used one for the book and cut her name through the paper and the back cover (the back cover is blank otherwise).

Reasonably happy how it turned out but see that paper needs new blades more often than wood.

Ask Steve a question. / Double skip tooth blades

« on: May 30, 2015, 05:01:15 pm »

I have some blades with two teeth close together and then large gap. It is thus something between normal tooth and skip tooth blades. I have watched several videos on blades and search quite a bit and can't seem to find any information on the advantages of these blades. I would appreciate any information on these blades especially what their advantage is over regular or skip tooth blades.

Brag Forum / Picture for dart board cabinet

« on: May 30, 2015, 04:56:39 pm »

This is one of my first projects where I used a scroll saw combined with other woodworking techniques. When the cabinet is opened the picture spits apart in two sections (can be seen here - and the whole build process: http://blogfice.blogspot.se/2015/05/dart-cabinet.html). I however made a slight design mistake where one part on the right door (the thumb) is higher than a section on the right door. Care must thus be taken when closing the doors to ensure the parts slide under each other.
