Thank you for your kind comment Richard. These designs were created over 100 years ago and I think they are amazing, I have huge respect for the draughtsmen that created them by hand.

Lovely. I’m partial to dark wood backed by light. It makes the smaller details pop. You have some mad skills there Sir. Thanks for taking the time to show us your work.

You are very kind thank you. Thanks for taking the time to place a comment.

That is a nice pattern. Older ones usually look better. I don't do very much fretwork or anything with letters. I stick mostly to whirligigs and other types of scrolling projects. I'm not very good at fretwork, but I enjoy watching you and others. You have a real talent for it. Take care!

You are too kind Michael. Like every other hobby you will get better if you keep doing it. I am certainly not an expert at fretwork, my stuff is modest compared to what others do. I generally only make items from the old Hobbies and Handicrafts companies from ideas of 80+ years ago, mainly because of the interest I have had in them since I was a boy.

That was awesome work you did on all those pieces. I'm terrible at fretwork John. I try once in a while when I see something that I like. I like the dark over the light...,but they all are very nice. I wouldn't be bored watching you do any wood project. In reality, people do inspire others to try other venues within a hobby. I'll continue watching no matter what you are sharing. Just do what interests you. Take care!

Thank you for your comments Michael but you are much too kind. Comments like yours keep me going making these videos, several of my friends say they don't watch my videos because they are boring which does sometimes make me wonder whether to continue, but then later when I am in the workshop doing something I think "this will make a video" and I am filming again.

Thanks again Michael and thank you so much for watching my videos.

I agree with your wife. I love the light with the dark backing, it shows more detail. Maybe if the "good" wood was thinner you'd see more detail. Love watching the scrolling.

Many thanks for your comment Debi, I do actually think light on dark looks better but solid wood always wins over plywood. In those days long ago when the patterns were originally designed the designs were intended to be cut from thinner wood mainly because people only used hand frames or at best a treadle machine. Often they used solid wood panels rather than plywood and of course solid wood is more delicate with bits easily breaking off which is why when using solid wood I make them thicker than originally intended. With a backing of course the thinner wood is protected but the backings were are usually an after thought by me and not intended in the original designs.

You are such an inspiration, love watching your videos, I am hoping to increase my scroll sawing/fret work with my hegner which I love, give me a pattern and I can follow it, but it is sourcing the patterns

Hi Alan, thank you for your kind comment which give me great encouragement to keep making videos. I can always help you with some patterns. I have many that I have digitised but they are mostly very old dating back from 1900 - 1940's. I am hoping to put many for free download on my fretworker website when I get time to finish it. I want people to download and save them in honour of those draughtsmen from Hobbies and Handicrafts who drew them by hand 100 odd years ago. Sadly not many people share my interest in these old fretwork patterns.

I have hung fretwork, near a window, with a fine fish line. It rotates as you walk by and the light, acts as a backer, to bring out the shapes. Can always be displayed another way, later. Enjoy the complications as you move through a project or repair. They seem familiar. JIM

Many thanks for your comment James. hanging fretwork sounds a good idea, I am running out of wall space.

What's your take on raising the rear of the scrollsaw 2, 3 or more inches? I have seen an much as 10 inches. Have you tried it John?....Is it worth the effort?....Love your videos

Many thanks for your comment 'Jowett' (by the way I love the old Jowett cars) I have seen this idea of raising the rear of the saw but personally I don't see the point, I have managed with a level table for over 69+ years inc hand frame, treadle machine and powered saw and never found the table angle a problem. I think it would annoy me that anything I placed on it would slide off.

They turned out beautifully! Incidentally John, this house fire, you weren't using the angle-grinder indoors, were you? (Sorry. Just teasing!)

Hi Mark, many thanks for your comment. No I wasn't using an angle grinder, I only set myself on fire with them not the house! The house fire was caused by a stray spark finding it's way up behind the oak fireplace and setting the room on fire. We were saved by our late German shepherd dog who came into our bedroom at 4:00am and woke us up to a house full of black smoke and flames licking the ceiling. The dog was a hero and I often think I should make a video telling the story in honour of that dog.
