Fired Up My Scroll Saw
I've always had a scroll saw of some sort in my shop for as long as I have had a work shop, but rarely used it. Once in a while I would scroll something small to support another project. Several years ago I upgraded to a DeWalt scroll saw, thinking a better saw, I would use it more. But, it sat and collected dust created from my other tools. A few weeks ago I got a hankering (American slang for desire) to give some scrolling a try on a more serious note. First I upgraded my saw a little, added a foot switch, a magnifying light and a lift for the arm. Purchased an assortment of Flying Dutchman blades and gave it a shot. I find I really am enjoying the scrolling and what to expand into some intarsia in the future. Anyway, I thought I'd display some of my first real attempts and ask for critics and comments for improvement.
This was my first attempt using a nice pattern I got from the internet:

Second project was and is making a couple flags to put on an organ cart I have recently built to put my crank organ on. I down loaded the free pattern from Wood Magazine. This is really a pretty simple intarsia piece:

Then I requested a pattern of my best friend be made from a picture I posted on another scroll saw forum I joined. This is "Alex"

This is really turned in to my, relax and enjoy part of woodworking. I think it will help me relieve tension when I am stressed about some other project I may be working one.
Thanks for looking and hope to be posting more as I gain experience and confidence.

Fantastic work.
As I am still working I find any type of woodworking relaxing. Not really ventured into scroll sawing and only just touch on this part of wood working.

They are all terrific projects but I do love the flag was it hand painted or air brushed?
