Check out the fretwork by JackM who earned a ribbon and some of the many great projects at this show. The project with the racoons was done by Barbara Nottke, one of the presenters about scrolling who we met at our DD gathering. What a fine lady with her husband John accompanying her. Dick

Thanks, Scott. You just saved me a lot of work. However, I did want to make sure that everyone saw these two, by Carole and JackM.Attached FilesLast edited by Dick-Miraglia; 04-04-2012, 01:02 PM.Dick Miraglia

Saratoga Project Pics
Here's a few projects I found interesting. A lot of really great and inspiring pieces. Two of my favorites were the celtic bowl and the dress. I really liked how movement was captured in the piece.Attached Files- Saratoga Springs 2012 Woodworking Show 037.jpg (52.4 KB, 31 views)

Just love to see pics like that. Cannot possibly be there in person and it is sooo verrry nice of you to share the pics so we can imagine.
How are the fretwork bowls created? They are intriguing.Last edited by north wood clocks; 04-03-2012, 09:28 PM.

Norman and Paul: The work that was done on the "fretwork" on those bowls was absolutely beautiful. I was also intrigued by the technique. It was not done with a scroll saw. In the vendor section, they were demonstrating and selling the tools used to do this. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of this tool but I believe it was made by Porter Cable. They used a device to hold the bowl accurately and cut into the bowl very precisely with this cutter that looked somewhat like a Dremel rotary tool. It had a sharp cutter that looked something like a short drill bit. It was impressive in how crisp and sharp the cuttings were. It was also used to make those parallel grooves at the tops of some of those vases and the radiating cuts on the plates. If someone can fill in the names of this equipment, please do so. The vendors at this show present such an incredible variety of new gadgets, sometimes two days is just not enough time to see everything, especially all the demonstrations.Dick Miraglia

Although it's not in the same league, the Roehl and Spielman book shows open work on some of the bowls. I tried it--and it's a bear to get it right.
However, if the walls of a scrolled bowl are thin enough, there's no reason why incising cannot be done. You do need a uniform thickness because once you make cuts, irregularities are noticeable. Certainly worth looking into.

Dick and everyone ... Great photos. That's my husband's maple burl platter in Dick's original post. I laughed that he got recognition on the scrolling website! I am sorry I missed both scrolling evening events. We have a standing gathering both night that we attend while in Saratoga. It is a gathering at the Parting Glass of members of our club in Syracuse that attend the show and stay overnight one or both nights. On Saturday we even were entertained by a 25 piece pipe band that was holding a fund raiser for their trip to an international competition in Scotland (our ears are still recovering!).Barbara

by John SmithI've used 1/4 and 1/8" blades from different sources with good results. I use carbon fiber blade blocks so I can put the blade in the middle of the blocks. You have to "tune" the blade for your specific saw. Several videos on YouTube on how to tune band saw blades.

by Quartz43Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.

by John Smiththanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach. All the while, WISHING I had a scroll saw. and now, that I've got one, I'll be venturing back into dimensional...07-01-2022, 07:21 PM

by handibunnyVery impressive work, John. I like the tooled leather look, the detailed calligraphy, and especially the rendition of the brushes and other tools that you use for your craft. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate the scroll saw into your work, and the opportunities it provides you.07-01-2022, 06:31 PM
