    This one is an easy trinket box just in time for Halloween. It shouldn't be too challenging. Instructions on assembly are included on the pattern. Enjoy!

    Here's a fun little tic-tac-toe game. Cut the base from 1/2" or 3/4" stock. The tic-tac-toe grid can be either 1/4" or 1/8" ply and glued to the base. Then it's just a matter of stack cutting out 5 ghosts for the X's and 5 pumpkins for the O's. These can be cut from 1/4" or 1/8" ply. This pattern is probably best suited for painting. Water down some acrylic paints to let the grain show through a bit. The base can be purple and black. The grid can be black. The ghosts can be watered down white. The Pumpkins are orange with little green stems. Then seal it with a spray acrylic. If anybody tackles this, I would love to see a picture! I recorded a video on how I designed this. I'll try to get this up sometime this week for those interested.

    Boy, that turned out really cool. You did a great job on it. Very nice finish too. Nicely done!

    I'd be careful. The women scrollers may outnumber the male scrollers. With those odds, you might not survive very long.

    I have a question for those who print in A4. A lot of patterns presented in PDF format are for the American standard of 8.5"x11". Are you able to print these patterns fine on A4 sized paper? I wasn't sure how well it converted or if the printing will distort the pattern at all.

    That turned out great! Your granddaughter's going to love it. You did a wonderful job on it. I love seeing scrolling and toymaking come together. Nicely done!

    Wow...That's a great aquisition! That will certainly treat you well over the years. There's nothing better than having a good table saw. I inherited an old Delta contractor's saw from my grandpa after he passed. Its may not be the most used tool in my shop, but I don't think I can live without mine. Congrats on the new saw.

    That turned out sharp! Looks like a challenge to put together too. Nicely done!

    The subject of a chat room came up in another thread. As of now, we currently don't have one. But, if there's enough interest, I could certainly add one. We'd have to figure out the logistics of it, but right now I just wanted to gauge the interest. Waddya think? You guys want a chat room? I've added a quick poll, go ahead and cast your vote. Any thoughts or feedback are also welcome.

    Those turned out great! I especially like the box. Nicely done!

    Hi Ron. Welcome to the Village. We're glad you found us. My dad just retired and is spending more time at the saw. Now I'm trying to convince him to try the internet so he can get some more patterns! But he ain't budging....yet. We'd love to see some of your work. You can set up a User Gallyer (you can find a [tut]tutorial here]/tut]) and show off a little. Its very inspiring seeing other's work. Anyway, welcome aboard. Jump in and have some fun!

    I also use baltic birch ply. Its less prone to breaking, especially with delicate ornaments. I like the look of solid wood, but the ply really adds a lot of strength.

    We had a server problem last night and lost a few pictures. Could you re-upload your pic? I'd love to see it.

    It looks like some avatars have been affected too. I'm guessing if you uploaded a new avatar in the last few days, you may be affected. Be sure to check your avatar. If its not there, it may need to be re-uploaded.

    Travis replied to gigio's topic in Introductions

    Hi Gianluigi. Welcome to the Village. We're glad you found us. There's lots of great stuff to look at here, and lots of friendly folks to chat with. I have a feeling you'll have a great time here. If you'd like to set up a User Gallery, you can find a [tut]tutorial here.[/tut] We find it very inspiring to see other's work. Anyway, welcome aboard. Jump in and have some fun!

    Well, I looked around and tried hard to find those files. There was a problem with the backup last night on the server and we lost a few pictures that were uploaded. It looks like it only affected a handful of pictures uploaded between Oct 3rd - Oct 6th. If you uploaded a pic to the User Gallery or Pattern Library or to the forum, could you check to see if its still there? If not, could you re-upload it? I don't think our little hiccup affected anything else. But if you notice anything weird, please let me know in this thread or PM me. Thanks guys! Sorry for the trouble....technology and all. Its great when it works.

    I think we had a bit of a hiccup on the server last night. Several patterns are "lost." I'm in the process of locating those. Bare with us while we get everything back to normal.

    Welcome back, Chris. I'm glad that things are settling down a bit. Hopefully soon, you'll be back in a comfortable routine. Life sometimes throws us curveballs that take a bit of time to re-adjust. Glad to hear you may be making sawdust again soon, though. I'm sure your saw missed you as much as we did.
  21. Travis
    Along the same lines: You Might Be A Scroller If... Instead of counting the number of patterns in your collection, you measure how many inches thick your stack is.
  22. Travis
    If you do one of those again, could you take some pictures for the Works In Progress/Tutorials forum? I would love to see one come together!

    I've resawn with a table saw before, and it scares me to death when I do. I eventually got to the point that I don't even attempt it anymore. I don't like it when more that 2" of that blade is above the table surface. I'm glad you're OK. I think we've all had some close calls. I have a feeling if our spouses knew about our close calls, we'd all be collecting stamps or taking pictures of birds instead of making sawdust.

    This is along the same lines as a debit card, but Paypal offers a debit card as well. So if you do a fair amount of paypal transactions, it's not a bad way to get easy access to your paypal money. You can get money from any ATM, or use it just like any other credit card (Mastercard). The problem is, Paypal is linked into your bank account. So if the numbers do fall in the wrong hands, you'd have the same problems as any other debit/credit card.

    You Might Be A Scroller If... When you're talking to someone, you can't help but to look for bridges between highlights and shadows on their face.
