  1. I was asking Hotshot (Randy) about the prices of his work, etc. and he said he sometimes likes to give some of his items away and graciously sent this to me! The dream catcher is from a Half Dollar and I believe the feathers are from pennies. Thanks again, Randy! God Bless! Spirithorse
  2. Great work! I really like the third photo with the faces separated and black background. It gives an optical illusion affect. The design on the candle holders is fantastic also! Thanks for sharing your work with us. God Bless! Spirithorse
  3. Hi, Dave, You are being much too hard on yourself! That project is great! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
  4. Very nice, Randy, The boxes show great craftsmanship and the eye of an artisan. In my opinion, though, you added too many stripes to the box for my taste. As I said, that is just my personal taste. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
  5. Fantaastic work! I really like the amount of work it took to do that trivet but, the Blue Heron is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
  6. GREAT WORK! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
  7. Oops, that's a viola, Brian! Just kidding! Great work. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
  8. Thanks, Jim, I actually had you in mind when I posted it with that verbage because I had read posts you made about your inlay and which way the wood revolves around the blade. God Bless! Spirithorse
  9. Beautiful! Thank you for showing us your talent. God Bless! Spirithorse
  10. Hi, Len, It looks like Charles Dearing (Artistic Cowboy) has tried about every venue imaginable and is now selling his on Facebook so, maybe that gives some indication that more people would view them there than other sites. Just sort of thinking out loud and do not have any personal experience in selling patterns direct to the customer. God Bless! Spirithorse
  11. Congratulations and thanks for your commitment to helping others. At first, when I saw your Title and all the talk about the PowerBall game, I thought you were a big winner in that! LOL Thanks for your up-lifting post and God Bless! Spirithorse
  12. Cute, Marg, Are you sure you meant 1/4" tall? Even for jewelry, that seems really tiny. God Bless! Spirithorse
  13. Nice solution, Russ, Thanks for sharing. Just a word of caution. With that attachment, it will be extremely easy to strip your blade holders. God Bless! Spirithorse
  14. Greetings, I just saw a post in Bragging Rights about Welcome Hearts which displays the letters protruding above the stock. That may help visualize the end result of tilting the table. God Bless! Spirithorse
  15. Greetings, When tilting the table, you can make cuts such as letters that can then be put back into place and lowered into the main piece of stock or raised above the main piece of stock. If you tilt the table to the left and keep your cut on the right side of the blade, the piece you cut will be larger on the top than on the bottom. Because of the size difference and the size of the kerf from the blade cutting, the piece you cut can be inserted back in and recessed. If you tilt the table to the right and keep the cut on the left side of the blade, the piece you cut will be smaller on the top than on the bottom. Due to the size difference and the size of the kerf from the blade cutting, the piece you cut can be re-inserted and pushed upward raising it above the stock it was cut from. This could probably have been answered much more briefly and explained better but, if you test cut some sample circles or letters from scrap, you will see how the tilt of the table can make a difference. God Bless! Spirithorse
  16. Very nice! I wanted to learn to do that with porcupine quills like some Native Americans did but, had very little success. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. God Bless! Spirithorse
  17. Thanks for sharing, Dick, I read the article but, the video clip never played. I've also been to the studio and Judy Gayle and Jerry Booher treated me like I was a dear, old friend. God Bless! Spirithorse
  18. Hi, Mike, I'm glad to see you doing so well with the new hobby. Great projects, well cut! Also glad you found our site (Travis makes it feel like home so, I suppose it's okay to call it our site). Thanks very much for your intro and for sharing your work with us. God Bless! Spirithorse
  19. Very nice! I really like that a lot. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
  20. Great work! Are you going to make your own frame? Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
  21. Very nice effect! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
  22. If you are used to cutting with a spiral blade, the kerf will already be larger than cutting with a straight blade. The spirals take a little practice though from my personal trials. Hopefully you are better with them than I am. God Bless! Spirithorse
  23. Greetings, I save the pattern to my PC and then open it with my graphics editing program. (I use Photoshop but, any editing program will work). After I open it in Photoshop, I can re-size the image, change the color or width of lines, etc. and then print it from the graphics editor or copy it to a document and print it from there. If you don't have a graphics editor, there are lots of free ones and many people on this forum and others that I frequent use GIMP or INKSCAPE. Taking it to the Photoshop first allows me to see exactly what size it is, etc. before printing. I can also flood the entire pattern with a different color and see if there are any floaters that have to be fixed. Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse
  24. Ah ha! All this from the guy that thought his scrolling days were over! Good to see you making some money, Kevin. God Bless! Spirithorse
  25. Great work, Dick, All your work is fantastic and I agree with others here that you do sell yourself short. God Bless! Spirithorse
