Learning Curve #18: Scrollsaw Box

Not only is it impressive that you used one scroll saw blade but the work looks really GREAT!!!! I really like the pattern. Can’t wait to see the fininshed product….

Amazing! Absolutely beautiful.

And only one saw… that’s even more impressive.

Again, I love your un-dogmatic approach. You don’t mind to paint walnut and you scroll-saw and expose the beauty of… tongue & groove “cheap” leftovers. Mot’s daughter would be proud of you! Tongue (and groove) in cheek, of course!

By the way, I can spot some very thin and delicate cuts and some crisp corners that you must be proud of…

thanks :)

Actually I haven’t even had time to look at it closely.. I finished the last cut, grabbed it and came upstairs to start supper…
took time to post some pix …

I’ll get a closer look as I sand those edges…

Very nice Debbie. A great job. How thick is the pine?

LOL…you did a nice job, Debbie! I’m impressed with the patience it takes for that kind of detail. Good job!

I think you are doing a bang up job with one of my favorite tools. I can’t wait to see what you craft with it next, Debbie!

Very very nice Deb…

Debbie it is beginning to sound like you’ve unleashed the inner artist in you. Beginnings of a great little box – maybe for some potpourri?

Those are really great marijuana leaves, Debbie!

Ha ha, just kidding ;) ...forgive me, couldn’t resist. But seriously, that is some impressive scroll work! Keep that stuff up. You’re darn good at it. I just received some parts for my scroll saw blade tensioner last week. You have inspired me to put it together and try it out again.

thanks everyone.

The pine is 3/8” thick.
Patience: yah, I don’t have much of that when it comes to making a project. I have to keep myself focused on the moment, on the section of line I’m cutting rather than looking at how much is left to do or wishing it was done.

The box: not sure, yet, how I’m going to put this together, especially since the bottom edges have “the groove” still in them. But I’m sure I will come up with something.

Blake: Blake, Blake, Blake… I’ll never be able to look at my work in the same way ever again….
