Thank you. This was a fun project.

Thank you.

I didn't think rounding over the edges between the different colored sections of the butterfly's wings looked natural here so I didn't do it. I have other intasia pieces like a horse's or dog's head portrait where I do extensive roundovers.

You are so welcome! I make a lot of toy vehicles, so I find myself cutting dowels frequently. This technique has saved me a LOT of grief.

Thank you for watching, and thanks for the painting tip. I'll have to try that sometime soon.

Thank you for watching!

I know exactly what you mean. I was considering several options, but when I saw the SD100 for $900, I had to jump at the chance. Once I build up my confidence through direct experience, I can always move up to a bigger machine.

Thank you

Thank you

Your comments meant a lot to me. I put a lot of effort into these videos, so I am grateful to read that the work resonates with viewers.

Thank you. It does make a beautiful organizer.

I'm just getting started on CNC, and hopefully if I pass on what I am learning it will help others learn more quickly without having to take as much time or make as many mistakes as I do.

I appreciate the comment.

Thank you! It's great to know my channel is helping others on the scroll saw.

I usually get my Baltic birch plywood in 30 x 30 sheets from my local hardwood dealer. I did, however, but a dozen 12x12 sheets from Amazon when someone ran a sale on the site. I think I paid $1 a sheet.

Thanks for watching. This was a little bit of a challenge to make, but worth it.

Thank you. That was a fun little project.

The number of tools and accessories available is mind-boggling.

I got a smile out of your reply. I love working on the Pegas scroll saw, and last weekend I went to a store closing where I got a heck of a deal on a Next Wave Shark SD100. I was a little concerned about what my wife would say, but she just said, "Happy birthday" (my birthday was only about two weeks ago) and told me I deserved to have the things I want. I chose the right woman over 50 years ago!

You're welcome Steve. I just finished making the three-layer vase and I'll start editing the video on that in a day or two. The first one came out great, but I broke a spot on the second one so I"ll have to make another front. Thankfully I wasn't too far into cutting the pattern.

Welcome to the channel! This pattern will be a little challenging for a beginner, but it is certainly doable.

Hi Bob I just love your work and videos, a pleasure to watch and very informative, I have learnt a lot by watching you go through the process of the cutting out of the plan's Keep them coming I look forward to the next one many thanks Keith

@@keithdavison5578 Keith, I really appreciate your comment. I taught an adult Sunday School class for over 20 years and was also an adjunct faculty member at a large university for several years, so teaching what I know about woodworking on KZfaq is just my latest teaching gig.

Thank you.

Steve: I really appreciate when you link to my videos, as it gives them a nice boost in exposure. I reached the 1,000 subscriber level a couple of days ago and moved into a larger retail store, so it has been a great week!

Thank you for the comment. I will search through my patterns and see what I can find.

If using a hand-held router makes you nervous (which deterred me for a long time), there are other uses such as holding a workpiece while you are sanding. I'm not trying to sell a product anyway, I'm just giving my opinion to maybe help others decide whether to buy.

@@bobshomewoodshop7996 I didn't take it as you trying to sell/promote this product. I just wasn't impressed with it.

@@bobshomewoodshop7996 I did not think you were promoting this product. I am just not sold on the idea, the blocks seem a bit small.

I appreciate your comment. The scroll saw is an incredible tool, and you can do so many things with it. When you buy a saw, get the best one you can afford.

@@bobshomewoodshop7996 Good advice. I really appreciate it. It's tempting to get a cheap one, but I'll definitely hold out for a good one.

As I mentioned in the video, these are fun to make AND fun to play with.

You're welcome. I don't buy a lot of tools, but when I do I'll put a review on the site.

I guess I need to check my math!

It's a great way to make thin stock when none is available. Just make sure to be cautious. By the time you get to the last cut, a LOT of the blade is exposed. I slow down and get very careful when resawing.

Thanks for watching. This is something I should have built for the shop a long time ago.

You're welcome. I enjoy teaching and sharing information.

I have a Jet scroll saw and I have replaced the blade holders with Pegas. I love going toolless. As far as the Excalibur goes, I don't know for sure but the Bear Woods Supply site does not show replacement holders for the Excalibur.

Thank you. I love the design, and think the woods I used look great together.

Thank you for the comment

Thank you. I have the two displayed next to each other in my retail store.

Thank you, Steve. That means a lot coming from you. As you have noticed, I am making a lot of your patterns, and I'll always give you credit for the designs.

Thank you, I really appreciate the comment.

Thank you. It was a fun project.

Thank you. That bunny makes me chuckle every time I look at him.

Send me an email at [email protected].

I enjoy projects like this as well, and they are popular with customers who drop by my retail store.

Thank you. I always appreciate comments from viewers.

That is a great idea. I'll have to remember that for my next intarsia project.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with the axminster. Vibration is pretty low on this machine. I know the motor can be turned, but I don't remember what function that serves. I'll try to remember to look it up in the owner's manual and get back to you.

You could probably feed from the top as well, but I learned on other saws and that's the habit I developed. I've tried top feeding, but find myself fumbling under the table for too long.

Thank you. I look forward to putting this to some good use.
