So glad everything went well. Heal up quick and you'll be making sawdust in no time!

My son, Gavin, is obsessed with YouTube (I can't imagine where he gets that from). He's 6 years old. His favorite things to watch is video games gameplay, Minecraft videos, and Lego videos. A few weeks ago, he decided he wanted to have his own YouTube channel. So I'm proud to announce the next YouTube sensation; GavinShow! Yay!!!! He would get a HUGE kick out of it if he got some traction on his videos. If you have a YouTube account, and so inclined, can you click "Like" on a few of his videos? Perhaps subscribe to his channel? He'd be thrilled if you posted a comment or two (Please note that Mom & Dad moderate all comments before they go live). Feel free to share the link with others, too. Thanks Y'all. https://www.youtube.com/user/gavinscorner

There might be our culprit. Parts of SSV doesn't work on Internet Explorer 8 or below. I'm glad everything is looking better for you.

Santa loves SSV, so he didn't go anywhere. The old logo might be in your cache still. Try clicking Ctrl+F5 and see if he pops back. If not, you can clear your browser's cache file and see if that helps.

Hmmm...that's strange. Which browser are you using? What version? It really shouldn't make a difference how the website looks whether or not your a Supporter. Perhaps I have bad code in some of the ads shown to non-members. I have ads turned on for me and I'm not seeing any issues. Perhaps it's a compatibility issue with an older browser. Let me know which browser and version you're using so I can troubleshoot it.

Yah, you're probably trying to upload too big of a file. The file size is limited to 2.4 megs or so. In your photo editing software, just reduce the size a bit and see if you have any better luck. If you don't know how to resize a picture, you can try this website that will resize it for you. http://www.picresize.com/

I have another website called Wood Deals Online. Basically, it tracks down all the wood on eBay and categorizes it by species and characteristics. I've bought from there a couple of times and had good results. I'm working on porting over the code to SSV so we can have it here too.

That's really clever! I bet one of those egg kaleidoscopes would look neat in that resin.

You're in my thoughts and prayers, Jerry. Have a speedy and safe recovery.

I would route it first too...just in case something goes horribly wrong.

I would like to put out a special thanks to Clayton. He's one of the unsung heroes here at SSV. He's very instrumental in making SSV run as well as it does. He moderates the discussions, removes spam, approves posts from new members, and is really great at making everybody feel welcome. Without him, SSV wouldn't run nearly as smoothly as it does. Thank you Clayton for your many years of help making SSV what it is today! You rock!

That's turning out amazing. I can't wait to see the finished project. I'd LOVE to make one. I'm just not sure what I'd do with it once I got it done. Perhaps I can rig it as a shop vac.

If you're only PMing that person, it might be that their PM inbox is full. It may only look like they're blocking you.

I got a couple questions regarding how the donations work, so I thought I'd clarify a bit. The idea is that if you want to keep the eBook, you'd donate to your favorite charity in your own name. The ornament pattern eBook is just an little "thank you" for your generous contribution to those in need during this Holiday season. SSV doesn't facilitate the donation with a donation page or anything like that. It's just understood that you give graciously to any charity that touches your heart. For example, I will be donating to Toys for Tots and to our local food bank.

I'm proud to announce that SSV's Ornaments For Charity 2013 eBook is now available! This year, we got 9 designers to design 45 additional patterns. The eBook is now 30 pages with 105 Holiday ornament patterns! You can download the eBook for free and check it out. If you decide to keep the eBook, we ask you to donate to your favorite charity (we're on the honor system here). Remember, this isn't about "buying" an ebook of patterns, it's about giving to a worthy cause. So dig deep when donating to your favorite charity. You can find the ebook here. There will be a tab on the navigation menu through Christmas. After Christmas, it will be moved under the More tab in the navigation window. Special thanks to the following for donating patterns to this year's ebook: Trip Don R Jesse smitty0312 Birchbark bobscroll heppnerguy Dan Phantom Scroller

Howdy all. I'm going to do a bit of house-cleaning in this forum; something I've been neglecting for too long. Monday, Dec 2nd, I'm going to remove any posts older than 60 days old in the Pattern Requests forum only in compliance of the Pattern Requests forum rules (posted here). The Pattern Requests forum serves as a temporary area for fulfilling custom pattern requests. Since most of these requests are for personal patterns (portraits of family members and the like), there is no real reason to keep them archived. This will keep things tidy, and reduce bandwidth and storage. If there are patterns in here that you want to keep, please download them right away. If you've designed a pattern that is suitable for the Pattern Library (subjects with a wider appeal), please post them there so they can be categorized and easily accessible for the rest of the members. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know. Thanks everybody! I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving.

I think I'd have to agree a bit. Great episode, though. It certainly opens up a new story line that might be interesting to follow. However, I'm not sure how I feel about it. That event really defined who the Doctor was in the last 3 incarnations.

You underestimate yourself.

Don't know what you're talking about...I STILL play with legos.

Howdy all. I ran into a person who couldn't receive any new PM messages. After poking around a bit, it turned out their inbox was full. I went ahead and bumped up the number of stored PM's from 50 to 100 for regular members. SSV Patrons get 500 stored PM messages. But it would be a good idea to go through your Inbox and delete any old messages you don't want so your inbox doesn't fill up. It sneaks up on you quickly, and people won't be able to contact you. You can find out how much you're using by going to your Personal Messenger manager. It shows how much you've used on the left sidebar. This has been a Public Service Announcement brought to you by the fine folks at SSV.

Fans of New Yankee Workshop or Lego will love this! There are a bunch of pix. REALLY good reproduction of his shop too. You can check out the whole set here. Oct 13 2008 010 by Legozilla, on Flickr

I really hate shopping. Crowds stress me out, and the thought of a mall makes me cringe. So I do most of my holiday shopping online, usually at Amazon.com. Every year, I put up the Amazon Lightning Deals at the footer of SSV during the Holiday Season. Amazon always has killer deals called Lightning Deals. Basically, they put up merchandise up for a deep discount for a limited time (usually an hour or two). Once they're gone, they're gone. I like to keep my eye on these deals for my holiday shopping. Since I'm always on SSV, it's pretty handy to watch. If you find something you like, click the link. Any purchases you make, SSV gets a little kickback. It's a great way to support SSV and do your holiday shopping at the same time. It doesn't cost any extra. And we don't know who bought what, so there's no worries there. So if you decide to buy from Amazon, think of us first and click our link. We really appreciate the support. Note: if you're a SSV Supporter, the Amazon slider is not visible. Just like the other ads, this banner is hidden as apart of your SSV Supporter membership perks. If you'd still like to check out the Lightning Deals and support SSV, you can use this link. I've also added an Amazon link at the top of the screen in the navigation bar. This is a page that shows the current Lightning deals, a few of my picks, as well as banner link to Amazon. If you click one of these links before shopping, SSV will receive credit. I'll remove the the Amazon footer and the Amazon link om the nav bar on Jan 1st. Happy Holidays everybody! And thanks for your continued support.

My wife and I watched it last night. We don't have BBC America (or cable TV for that matter). But Amazon Prime had it for sale the next day. We made an evening around it. My wife made up some snacks...because snacks are coool. Great episode! I can't wait for the next season! It opens up a whole new story line.
