I’m Billy and I make cool stuff. This channel is devoted to making scroll saw art. I also have my main channel that shows how to build all kinds of things. Sometimes, it’s something I need like tool storage ideas. Other times it’s silly or nerdy stuff that I want to build. If you want to get ideas for making stuff, or just want to watch something entertaining then make sure you subscribe.
I wished I seen your technique literally a few days ago. I needed to get back to the shop after some time off from the hobby and settled on a simple intarsia. The way you cut the scrap, and saved it to help you line up your pieces, would have helped me on my project. The pattern I used had thick black lines. I will consider this next time.
Have you looked up Steve Good? And there's also a Scroll saw village. Forum. And 'mytoya' I believe how it's spelled on RU-vid gives great lessons as well. I personally am a beginner. And I love scrolling b/c it's relaxing
As I was watching this I just kept thinking "Man this guy needs a Co2 laser to make easy work of all these tiny details" but then I saw you have one. What's the reason you chose the saw instead?
Dude, you could just use aluminum for the swords. If it’s thin enough, you can cut it with a scroll saw. It’s tuff, but doable. That being said, this was astonishing work!
@@NewtonMakesArt you can use a very thin aluminum. Soda can might work well. You’d probably need to laminate it to a substrate of some kind, but it would be much easier to cut.
Once again you've blown my mind, Billy. I can't even comprehend how to go about doing something like this. Every time I think you've gone way over the edge, you just go farther. Bill
It’s fantastic. Worth the effort. I would not have the patience. The background is great too, the wood grain gives it tons of movement. Very cool. Lots of great stuff.
Wow, man!! I have some experience with scroll sawing, and I know how difficult it was to pull off this project. The time and dedication that it must have taken is understated! Great work! I hope this earns your channel a ton more subscribers because you deserve it.
@@NewtonMakesArt thanks man, I guess that’s pretty obvious. I’ll check it out, I didn’t think that was how you did it but now I’m curious to see it. Keep it up 👍🏻
I'm slowly building up my color palette as my local Woodcraft puts different species on sale. I don't really have specific projects in mind, I just look for colors I don't have. This way, I'll hopefully be prepared when the time comes and I'll have paid half the price
"All I have to do is cut two parallel lines" 😂 I find straight lines to be the absolute hardest cut to make on a scroll saw because any little wiggle is immediately noticeable as opposed to cuts that turn. Absolutely amazing work!
You might also consider epoxy, colored in different tones or colors, either to fill in tight spaces or account for difficult colors to find. Also stained glass or stained glass designing practices.
I think using epoxy and colored tones could definitely make it more colorful and closer to actual drawing! However, the use of natural wood colors alone takes this from a really cool piece of art to an extraordinary one.
