  • New Years Day project

    This was my New Years Day project. It is the clock from the last Issue of SSW. It is made from cherry and finished with a water based varnish. I was wary of using this type of finish, but I am very pleased with the way it turned out.

          That's a lovely project, Bill. It's nice to know someone was doing constructive on New Year's Day while most of the world was recovering from New Year's Eve.

                Very nice piece. How'd you find the time to cut it (pun intended).

                    To Unixpro; it is about 16 inches tall.

                    Jeff; I did resaw and plane the wood to thickness and do the fret work on the waist piece before Christmas, but I did the rest of it on New Years day and then sprayed the finish on it the next day.

                      First, let me say those are beautiful! Second, I can tell you that on the Facebook laser forums those people have been hunting for sources on cutting and charcuterie boards to laser engrave various personalizations onto. Some are willing to pay for quality and the finished pieces show it. Others...

                      A custom order for the "Wedding Rings" designer unknown. I used 1/2" solid Cherry and cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 and #3 MGT blades. After sanding with a Mac Mop sprayed with 2 coats MinWax Lacquer Clear Gloss sanding between coats. Comments welcome.

                      If you are talking about their microlux, that is the same as the little proxxon saw, and it is the absolute worse scrollsaw I've ever used. They also have a 16" (the saw rebranded a thousand times) which is also a distant second in the running for worst designed saws ever.
