Scroll Saw Fretwork for Christmas

- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- In this video I combine three of my favorites, boxes, fretwork and Christmas. It is a Steve Good pattern, I will have a link below. I made the base and fretwork from walnut and used aspen for the liner. It is coated with clear enamel which darkens the walnut and brings out the grain in both woods.

Hi Tommy. Thanks for the shout-out in the video. You did a wonderful job with the pattern. I am going to link to the video in today's blog post. I know that some of my readers will enjoy your work. Thanks again.
Thank you Steve! I appreciate your promotion of my video. And I appreciate your patterns. I have great respect for your creativity in making the patterns and a little envy. I believe that the true creativity is in the pattern creation and you are one of the best.
Thanks for taking us along on the "ride". I enjoyed watching you cut and actually learned something. It turned out beautifully.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks SO MUCH learned and loved the finish of the box. beautiful
Thank you for watching
This is absolutely beautiful❤
Thank you
Beautiful work! Thanks for showing us how it is done...
Thank you very much.
Hey Tommy, This design will definitely test one's skill level and this video just shows you are a Master Scroller and love scrolling. I liked the idea of using Elmer's Glue Stick when the paper pops up off the wood.
On a side note, is the camera lens a little dusty or maybe it just my old eye sight getting worn down? Just might need to go * get the eyes checked.
Thank you. The lens was probably dusty. I get so involved with the project it is hard to remember to film it or set things up properly. I am not a videographer. Planning, filming and editing are all new to me and it shows. And, I am a one man act in a small cluttered shop with multiple other interests. We have ducks, chickens, geese, rabbits, dogs, cats and a fair sized garden and yard to tend to. But I love scrolling and enjoy learning how to film and produce a video. No one told me that retirement was such hard work!
@@twinoakstreasures9032 Now that the grandkids are no longer involved in sports and other activities, the need to be a videographer and editor , with many different video editing programs to achieve the desired effects, has now gone by the wayside. I have giving away or sold nearly all of the cameras, tripods, small monitors, microphones, batteries, lens for cameras, carrying case and almost forgot microphones. Also have moved all videos and programs off main computer onto an external hard drive. Just before doing a video take, I had to clean off the lens of all cameras, could not believe how dirty they could at a hockey event, now a soccer or lacrosse event, I could understand why those lens got dirty, outside conditions with dust flying everywhere.
Yes, being retired, over 75 now, is a lot more work, maybe not as strenuous as when younger. :)
But just keep on thinking young & improving on what you like to do.
Just keep loving your neighbors.
What blade are you using? Love your work.
Thank you. On this one I used a Flying Dutchman XL #3. That is a skip tooth, non reverse tooth blade 21 tpi. I would normally use a reverse tooth blade on this but found that I was out of #3's. I use mostly #5's and keep just a few of the others on hand. I didn't realize that I had used the last one. But it worked ok.
@@twinoakstreasures9032 Thank you for the reply. It looked like a 2.0 blade but It could be the camera that made it look smaller than it was. Just getting started in scroll sawing and trying to learn all I can.
What blade are you using and what speed are you running the machine at? I learned a lot just watching you!
I used a #5 Flying Dutchman blade on this project. I have since switched to Pegas blades. I normally try to run the machine as fast as the work will allow. Thickness of the material vs the width of teeth can determine that as well as the density of the wood. I try not the heat the wood and burn it a high speed in a dense material. I go with my sense of smell on that, I can often smell it if it is too hot. On this one I was at max speed most of the time, with the right material and blade that can give a "polished" look to the cut edge. But cutting at a high speed in a soft wood can be too aggressive and cause problems in some areas of a tight pattern. But I used a #5 at a high speed on the Walnut and it cut very nicely.
Sorry to take so long to answer, for some reason I was not notified of this comment.
@@twinoakstreasures9032 thank you for the reply! As I continue on this scroll saw journey I am understanding that a lot of it is by feel so to speak. There is no one right way to do things because there are too many variables.
Exactly, well said. Experience really counts in developing the right way for you, and for me the way I do things is always evolving.
Bueatiful box !!! Would be a great gift for someone to treasure. Are the plans available for this one to down load.
Thank you, plans are at this link: www.stevedgood.com/christmasfretbox.pdf
What is the blade size are you using?
Please tell us about the blade.
That was cut with a Flying Dutchman XL #3, skip tooth, non reverse, offset teeth. 21 tpi. I normally use a reverse tooth but was out of #3 reverse tooth blades. I did not want to use a #5 on some of the cuts so I used the XL and it worked better than I thought it would.
