I too have an extensive collection of Creative Woodworks and Crafts with a few as far back as the late 90's. I have thought about getting rid of them but then I think I might want to cut something out of one of them. I do sit down and go through some and pick out some patterns that I overlooked before.

I have been a bottom feeder ever since I started scrolling with a Craftsman 16"saw that I didn't keep very long. I upgraded to the DeWalt 788(type one) around 1994 then just recently I made the move to the EX 21 and still bottom feed.

An update from my 2013 posting. Late last year I retired the DeWalt 788(type 1) and added the Ex 21. The Ex 21 should last me until I cut my final pattern and I still have the 788 for back up.

Glad to hear you are doing good. I had my knee replaced 5 years ago and with a lot of hard work at pt and at home, I was back to work after just 1 month. The surgery was the best thing that I had done.

Ralph, I got the pattern from Sheila Landry Designs. It was designed by her partner Keith Fenton. You can reach Sheila at www.sheilalandrydesigns.com. I am also a retired volunteer firefighter from central New York State.
