Scroll Saw Shells Ammonite 3

- My process for making a 3-dimensional wood ammonite shell using segmented construction. It's hollow, and the end-grain patterns are repeated radially to enhance it. My original pattern. www.spiralsbyst...

Wonderful wood texture! Amazing job!
Thank you!
I love these shells and how they are made.This is a good pasdtime for a person who has patience.I can do it because I have made segmentent vases
Hi Steve , it as beautiful as it was years ago when I first saw it. 😊 wish I could make one 😊. Thank you so very much for sharing .
Thanks, Mahendra!
I made a Nautilus shell as a Christmas gift by watching your Shells 2 video. You make it look easy (I used my band saw with a thin blade). It had some "character" but my brother's family loved it. Your wooden ammonite shell is awesome and enormous! Thanks for sharing your talent and process with us.
It is more difficult with a band saw because of the width of cut being a lot wider than that of a scroll saw. The newer technique only cuts one or two segments from each wedge, so the blade width doesn't really matter. Thanks for the comment.
Just found your wealth of videos and I am enjoying your mixture of engineering and craftsmanship. Great stuff and thanks for sharing.
Thank you! There will be more soon.
WOW using a spray bottle for the finish!!!! it looks great I would never thought a spray bottle finish could look that good!!!
Thanks! I've experimented a lot with different finishing techniques over the years - this works best for me.
Steve Garrison I’ll definitely try this method he next time I use poly.
Genius workmanship! Liked, Subscribed and eventually imitated :)
Thank you.
Much simpler and very neat, cant wait to make start this project, thanks Steve
Hi Nixon! It's a simpler shape with much less inside corners to clean up. I also wish I had thought of using the router to flatten the halves sooner - that saves a lot of work by itself.
U are back cool i love these shells, Please keeping on making these they are so neat
Thanks! I'm trying to think of ways to make each one different.
Awesome work Steve! Beautiful shells! Wish that I had that kind of patience as that looks to be a significant amount of work.
Thanks! It's a little time-consuming, but I have fun with it.
amount of work has little to do with why to do something creative or as a hobby. Small power tools and modern glues go through work like this easy and fast. Sanding drums go through all woods with ease and speed.
all you need is the ability to think in 3D concepts for jigs and desired project.
It is always so much easier to find an excuse to not do something.
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
Stunning, and lots of work.
Cheers
Jim
Thank you.
Great job as always! The router step can be done with sandpaper for those without access to a router. Tape a sheet to the work surface and use another sheet floating with the shell as a spacer under the part not sanded and work the high end down to level then touch up both sides on the same sheet.
Thanks, Gary!
Some great sanding tips on there Steve! Looks beautiful!
Thanks, Johnathon! I'm not a big fan of lots of hand-sanding. This one was mostly disc-sanded.
I hate the hand sanding too! I do my best to find ways to use power tools all the time.

Steve, Good evening. I've been watching your info for about a year now. Glad to see you post this video, been looking forward to your demonstration of the process. By the way, great info on yer site dude.
Good evening and thank you. So far, I think this is my favorite of my 3 ammonite patterns. Thanks for commenting.
@@Steve.Garrison Sorry I haven't responded earlier. I have been trying to cut a new nautilus (primary shell) since receiving the info from you back in
Nov of last year. I will be starting back up this week, I will be sending you photos soon.
@@mrebpropertiessobota3326 Great! I look forward to seeing it. Both techniques have their good points and limitations, I prefer the newer method.
I'm a new subscriber and a seashell lover! I so enjoyed your video, and am thinking of giving this a try myself. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you! You should try it.
Y are a master. I d love e to purchese one of your product! I follow you such a long time ago and you closed the schell fanjtastic. you a master!
That’s really beautiful.
Thanks, Janet.
Muy ingenioso y espectacular como todos tus trabajos. Felicitaciones Steve, desde Tres Arroyos!!!!
Thank you!
I like your work.
Thank you.
Very beautiful piece.
Thanks!
Sehr schöne Arbeit.
Thank you very much!
Minwax wipe-on poly is very expensive here in the UK, at £45 for a small can. Naphtha is not available at all. If any of your UK viewers know of tried and tested alternatives, please let me know.
If you hold it against your ear, can you hear the forest?
Yep! Or in my case, I can hear my tinnitus. LOL
That's great!
Thanks!
Are you putting the wedge right angle face or the hypotenuse face down on the scroll saw table?
MrBonners either way works. I keep the growth rings oriented the same for all segments.
@@stevegarrison7469 With a tilted table would that make the bevel angles to the faces different depending on which face is down.
Seems I found some experimenting (play) to do. Great fun.
I wonder if you would rotate each piece by a small degree, the entire piece would take a twist resembling a rams horn?
I've tried something like that before, it gets complicated and the ends don't match.
What kind and size blades you are using
Olson spiral, probably a 7 - been a while so not 100% sure.
Man i'd love to know how the idea came to your mind, how you figured out how to do it, why etc. I subbed and activated the bell if you decide to do it
très beau
I want to try this type of finish. Does this product mix not run or puddle inside
It will puddle, but I hang the shell in a position where it will drip out instead of puddling. Adding the thinner reduces surface tension so it's less likely to bead up and run.
@@Steve.Garrison Thanks Steve - I’ve been making your shells for years and really enjoy it. Thanks
@@danwiggins4863 You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the comment.
Steve, great video! Do you have plan for the table saw sled. The new one is different than whar I have in the plans I purchased. It looks much easier.
Thanks! It is described in the instructions that are included with the patterns. There are two different jigs - one for flat spirals like this shell, and the other for conical spirals.
@@Steve.Garrison Im going to read them again, must have overlooked it, thanks. Your sanding tools are great!
Do you have a plan for your wedge cutting jig?
Yes, it is described in the included instructions.
Thanks
so do I need to make these adjments white the pattern or have u made the changes in the instructions to relfect what u found out
I'm not sure what you mean, Marla?
I think she means at 4:20 when you had to shave off the bottom of one side with the router.
It is in the instructions that come with the pattern.
what is that a roofing nail you are using for sanding bit?
Yes, a galvanized roofing nail fits 1/8" collet. Some vibrate more than others, so find one that's straighter.
Hermoso! Pero digame que tipo de segueta utiliza? Gracias y Felicidades!
Thank you! I use my DeWalt scroll saw with a spiral blade.
Fantastic!!! Very helpful! Like and subscribe
Thank you very much!
