William Shatner as Captain James T Kirk scroll saw project

Welcome to Russell's Woodshed!
This week we are making a scroll saw pattern of an icon. Captain James T Kirk, well William Shatner as James T Kirk. I think if I type it that way I might not get sued for making and "selling" scroll saw patterns of Star Trek characters. Journey into this post if you love sci-fi as much as me.

wikipedia is where i copy some of my stuff

William Shatner (born March 22, 1931) is a Canadian actor, author, producer, and director. In his seven decades of television, Shatner became a cultural icon for his portrayal of James T. Kirk, Captain of the USS Enterprise, in the Star Trek franchise.[1] He has written a series of books chronicling his experiences playing Captain Kirk and being a part of Star Trek, and has co-written several novels set in the Star Trek universe. He has written a series of science fiction novels called TekWar, which were adapted for television.

You might have notice in the video that I lost part of the left eye while cutting. It happens, most of the time nobody knows but you when you make a mistake on a scroll saw piece. Once you peal the tape off, there is nothing to compare it to. So say, "it is part of the art."

A short "how to"

Get yourself some 1/4" plywood.
Cover that plywood with masking tape (i like blue).
Spray the tape with adhesive. I use Elmer's brand glue for this.
Now pop some holes in the pattern with a 1/16" drill bit.
And here we go, scroll, scroll, scroll. I've grown to love Flying Dutchman Spiral blade.
Lightly sand the piece with some 320 grit sand paper.
