I am fortunate to live in the same city with one of the finest scroll saw artists in the country. Mick and his wife Debbie combine to produce beautiful works of art in wood. If you have the opportunity to visit Lexington you can find Mick and Debbie's shop at 208 West Maxwell St. Check their website for details of the shop hours.

The great news for us scrollers is that Mick makes many of his beautiful patterns available for sale. His Springtime in Kentucky pattern is one of my all time favorites. The prices for his portrait style patterns are low enough that you can buy a few to last you through the winter. Mick has a great ability to add just enough detail to look complex but not so much to be impossible to cut.

This is the pattern I used in yesterdays
video review of the Press.N.Grip from Bigfoot. If you have never tried compound cutting on the scroll saw, give it go. It's easier than it looks. When you show this to people they will say it looks impossible.
To make the blank for this project I used a construction grade 2X4 and cut it down to a blank that was 1.5" X 1.5" X 4". Try to find a section that is knot free. When you finish the cut you will have some fuzzies in the interior that need to be sanded. A small flat file works well to get inside to do the sanding. The only finishing I do on pieces like these is the sanding. I think they look fine natural.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
