Brag Forum / Nearing the end of Christmas orders.

Only two more to go. These are done and delivered. Maple inlaid into cedar box lids. 11"x8"x2" boxes with hinged lids. The "W" is the brand of a local rancher and the name I understand but I have no idea what the cloud is about. They draw it and I inlay it.

Toy Makers / F86f Sabre
« on: December 07, 2013, 10:41:38 am »
I made nine of these eight inch long fir models of an F-86f to add to the six thousand+ toys that our club made and donated this year to The Salvation Army and local children's hospitals. I downloaded plans from the INTERNET and used them to make the pattern for these toys.

Here is a photo of my latest fireplace bellows. It is a functional bellows made of eastern red cedar with soft maple inlay. The Nozzle is made of the brass of a 30-30 shell. It is 15" long and 6" wide. I started making these over 30 years ago and this is number 60.

I made this fully functioning fireplace bellows for a friend to use in his fishing cabin. It is made of eastern red cedar and soft maple inlay with leather and a brass nozzle. 18" long 6" wide. I have made fifty bellows over the past 30 years but this is the first one I did an inlay in. (Will not be my last)

I found an image of a horse head on line and made this intarsia image of it. It is made of Oak, Pine, Mahogany, Mesquite and Ebony and is 21" tall I used 1/4" ply for backer board and made a hanger for it of old band saw blade. The woods are all 3/8" thick. I used a spray can from Walmart "triple Thick Glaze" as a finish.

Introduce Yourself. / Hello From Texas
« on: June 12, 2011, 11:56:30 am »
Hello,
My name is Jim ...and I am a scroll sawyer.
I live in Lubbock Texas and have a small woodworking workshop in my garage. I have two Hegner scroll saws beside other wood working tools and enjoy playing with them about 35 hours a week. I am a retired sheet metal worker but now I make sawdust most days. I have made a LOT of toys with my scroll saw. I have done a few pieces of intarsia and lately I have been making lots of cedar boxes with inlayed images in the lids. I have made some of the Steve good projects too. (Flowers etc.)
I sell my woodworking projects at street-craft fairs here, about twice a month. I look forward to getting more ideas and inspiration in this forum
