Coat hooks
These hooks were the first projects I ever made. I was originally cutting them "by hand' until I got the scroll saw
Side view
2 Apples
These apples were another one of my first projects
Flower design
I'm not sure what this is or why I made it.
2 speakers
I enveloped these speakers in a wooden frame and covered them with a decorative fabric.
Back side
They're actually from our old TV, and they work great!
A speaker
I took this speaker out of something that was broken, and just made a wooden frame for it. The frame has a groove so that if I ever make more, they could inter-lock
A compass rose
Moose and tree
These simple moose and tree designs can inter-lock with each other.
Tree, leaf, and acorn
This took me a long time, especially the tree.
Mr Clause
This project took about 33 individual cuts. I tried avoiding projects like this for a long time, because I didn't like drilling all the starter holes for the blade to enter. I didn't like unloosening the blade and tightening it so many times ethier, but that's the only way to do it. If you do have a scroll saw, it would be a good investment to also buy a drill press. It is much more dangerous than a scroll saw, but it will make drilling these holes so much easier. In the end a project with more cuts will usually look better. It's worth all the work.

The box
This was the first box I ever made and it turned out much better than I expected. I didn't know how well the saw would handle the mitered edges, but it turned out fine.
Whistle
This whistle actually does work, using just a branch from a tree.
Guitar
This is the guitar I made. It took me 4 months to build.

Close up of sound hole
The circular sound hole designs were taken from Ovation guitars. To add my own look I wove strings through the holes.
The Bridge
Base ball bat
I must have been on the sander for an hour to get this bat looking like it is now, and I still have alot more to go.
A guitar cut from an 1/8 inch sheet of wood
This is a guitar design from Washburn. I drew the design myself. It took 56 individual cuts. That means drilling 56 holes, unloosening the blade 56 times, tightening it 56 times, and replaceing a broken blade.
The Scroll Saw Handbook by: Patrick Spielman
I reccomend this book to anyone who is interested is scroll sawing. It is very informative, but at the same time fun to read because there's alot of pictures. This Book will tell you everything you need to know about scroll sawing. From the history of scroll sawing (dating back to the 1800s) to Safety. It even includes a few patterns and projects.
The Scroll Saw Pattern book by: Patrick and Patricia Spielman
This book is filled with very simple patterns. Great for anyone who is just beggining to use a scroll saw.
The Great All-American Wooden Toy Book by: Norm Marshall
This book is filled with some very complex patterns that require many cuts. It's quiet an accomplishment when you've finish building any one of these projects.
