  1. Pistol Grip Gent Saw

    I had an idea a few years back about the gent saw. And that was that I couldn't stand them, they are so hard to grab the same way every time so you end up concentrating on the cut more than you should. There had to be a better way, some sawmakers give a slight bend to the handle or facets to use...

  4. Art Deco TV Table

    This is a friends dog that recently passed so I made a portrait for her.

    I am new to scroll sawing, LOVE it and find that I'm getting quite good at it but I am looking for some software options for creating my own patterns…either word/text or images. I've seen some scroll saw plaques that overlap text (example: "FAMILY" in the background and something like "Life's...

    The Prep Work I was asked by at least a dozen people over the last few months how I do my portraits. Particularly, how I get up to the point of actually putting blade to wood. In other words…… the Prep Work. I thought I would make Part 1 of my "Portrait Scrollsawing in a NutShell Blog" cover...

    Bookrack Project Part 1 I've been working on this bookrack project for the past two months and we finished today. It is for my son's Eagle Scout project. The idea came from a charity resale shop our boy scout troop supports. My son wanted to build something for them so we ask what they...
  11. Jigs & Fixtures
    I'm looking at the MK II Honing Guide,is there a better easier to use one for a beginner? What stone/s should I get? I don't really need to get down to the 5 digit stone grits. price is a object and doing sharping by hand isn't a option,I make them duller. I'm sharpening standard planes and...
