Thread: More stuff....

You are right Graeme scrolling does get you in. There is a new world out there to be had and the beauty of it is that it's very skillful but not all that expensive for material or equipment. Keep up the good work.

John

Thanks John

I forgot to add some details:

The truck, trailer and cars on the trailer were cut from Porta Pine DAR 90x45mm, 1.2m length which gave me 2 complete units with some left over. Cut on the scroll saw with a Pegas MG #12 blade. It cut ok, a bit slow so maybe this one better suited to a small band saw.....

The fendered cars (12 in all) were cut from Porta Pine DAR 90x30mm, 1.2m length, all 12 cars come from one length with some left over. Used a Pegas MG #12 blade and had no problems cutting. Fenders were cut from 12mm pine left over from another project, Pegas MG #5 blade used.

Still deciding whether to paint them, stain them or leave as is...

The low profile silhouette cares were cut from left over 19mm cypress pine and will be clear coated, Pegas MG #7 blase used to cut.

Congratulations Graeme, You're really a TOYMAKER who has mastered scrollsawing sir....
Love the vehicles and that cradle is a beauty, well done!
Cheers, crowie

Thanks crowie, your comments are much appreciated. I am having a ball learning scrollsawing

Love the Truck and Trailer , where do you get plans for these?

Scroll sawing is certainly addictive I don't think it has quite taken off like in other places but it will when people appreciate the skill required to complete projects.

G'day cava, got the plans off the internet somewhere. Have got them saved on my computer - do you want me to email them to you?

You could also post the toys in the toymaking section Graeme!

I dislike my scrollsaw. Whenever I go on it, whole days just DISAPPEAR!
