Wood Toy Dog Cutout, Handmade, Unfinished, Unpainted, Paintable, and Ready to Paint, from the Noah's Ark Animal Cracker Collection Buy Now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1194157226/ A wood toy I made in my toymaker's shop using traditional woodworking tools. I made the toy from unfinished wood, sanded it, and it is ready to paint. The toy is free-standing and makes a great stacking or pretend toy when combined with other similar toys. I make small animals from wood cutoffs I have left from other projects. Because of this, the thickness will vary but never less than 1/2 inch. The type of wood and thus the color will vary if you want a particular type of wood, please don't hesitate to contact me. These are available via Custom order if you want a complete set of several different animals. There are some cost savings, especially shipping. My grandson has many small animal cutouts he loves to stack in many different ways. I think he plays with them more than any other toy I have...

Wood Toy Spider Cutout On My EX21 Scroll Saw  Buy One of thes Spiders  Snazzy Spooks Collection I made another batch of spiders today. I cut these on my Excalibur EX21 scroll saw using a Pegas #3R  Modified Geometry blade. Quality checks are done throughout the process, and defective spiders are discarded. One spider out of five was discarded this time. The wood is pine and was prepared by sanding it before I applied the pattern. I print my patterns on a laser printer using Inkscape. I prefer to use 3m 77 adhesive to adhere patterns directly to the wood. The patterns and adhesive are easy to remove with mineral spirits, and there is no damage to the wood surface, as sometimes when I use blue painter's tape. After applying the patterns, I cut the boards into smaller pieces using a miter saw, with one spider per piece. Cutting the patterns apart is optional. I like to work with smaller pieces and find rectangular cutoffs easier to work with later. Once the adhesive is remov...

  If you are a scroller, you know how frustrating having your workpiece move while cutting can be. Especially when it comes to scrolling compound cuts, the clamp you use can make all the difference in the world when it comes to the accuracy and precision of your cuts. After trying various clamps, I discovered that the spring clamp is the best clamp for scroll sawing compound cuts. Not just any spring clamp, but one with a strong spring that can take up the slack as you cut. The larger spring clamps worked best as they stayed in place and aligned the parts. One of the main advantages of using a spring clamp for scroll sawing is that it will not damage the blade if you accidentally hit the clamp. Many spring clamps are made of plastic composites. If you should hit one of these clamps with a scroll saw blade, the blade would not be damaged. In conclusion, if you are looking for the best clamp for scroll sawing compound cuts, consider using a spring clamp with a strong spring. Look for...

The antlers are challenging to cut and separate from the wood without breaking them. This time I managed to get them cut without breaking anything. I used an Excalibur EX21 scrollsaw and Pegas Modified Geometry 3R blades. #3 blades cut slower, but I get a much smoother cut than I would get using a #5 blade. I could probably cut them faster without the reverse tooth blades. The wood used for this herd of reindeer is poplar I purchased from one of the big box stores. I print the patterns on heavy paper with a laser printer and Inkscape. After cutting the patterns to size, glue them onto the wood using 3m 77 spray adhesive. The patterns are glued directly to the wood. There is no need to remove the patterns since they are on the waste wood. I must mount t...
