I made my Christmas candies this past weekend. I made 2 batches of "Fantasy Fudge" One with and one without nuts. 1 Batch of Peanut Butter Fudge. 1 Batch of See's Fudge. I passed on my chocolate covered cherries this year and the Buckeyes ( peanut butter ball covered in choc) 1 batch of Rocky Road but will probably have to make another as we have been making up plates to pass out the neighbors and it's almost all gone already. Here are two pics to get you salivating....

I thank you all for your advice and I have decided not to display the patterns. I do not want to offend those wonderful designers who have so graciously shared patterns with myself and countless others. I'll figure out another way to share what I have available. Thanks again for your perspectives.

Steve, Thanks for your input it is appreciated and yes it is a shame that people will stoop so low. This is why I have been trying to figure out a workaround that protects the designers and gives the best exposure for the patterns available.

It would be great if I could get some advice from you pattern designers. I have a website like so many of us do and I do a decent amount of sales all over the world from it. I continually get e-mails asking me what other items I have patterns for. Honestly like so many scrollers I'm a pattern aholic. I have 1000's of patterns from many different designers. I'm trying to figure out a way to post some of them on my site without allowing others to steal them and thereby not give the actual designers the credit they deserve. I would of course place a disclaimer that I'm not the creator of the pattern but these other items are available. I have refrained for several years of doing this because I don't want to offend any designer. However in talking to a couple of them they said so long as I was not trying to share the pattern they did not have a problem with it. I really do not have the time or inclination to cut all of these as you can well imagine, in the hopes they will all sell. I need to know how to post them but protect them without going to the trouble of watermarking them or whatever. Can I simply re-size them to thumbnail size? Won't they distort if someone just tries to take the thumbnails and re-size them? I know you can disable right click capabilities but this can be thwarted as well by anyone trying hard enough. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this and keep the patterns safe?

Great job. You only have 51 more for a full deck...LOL

Congrats Dale!

You should be proud and bragging section is definitely the right place. Keep on keepin on! Good luck with the surgery wishing you a full and rapid recovery.

Thanks you 2...I appreciate the compliments!

Dale, looks nice..Yer daughter is right the paint adds 10 bucks to it...LOL

Slow saw speed and slow feed rate. Or it will just get hot and melt and fuse behind the blade...Take your time.

Hope you like my latest...Thanks Dale they are a breeze to cut!

A friend in Canada has done this. Please use a dust mask as the dust can be toxic.

Share some pics of your wips...you know how we love pics..

Welcome aboard darrell...

That figures right after I share my pic of my daughters invitation...LOL Oh well I didnt' have wip's anyway. Thanks Mike for the sponsorship that is very generous of you!

Thanks everyone...It was fun to make.

Do not forget google images for dog silhouettes...They are all available..

Good for you..perhaps I should do the same thing but I think driving to wv from seattle may be a tad more expensive than shipping...LOL J/k...That has to be a real ego booster for sure.

Their wedding invitation. 1/4" poplar plywood..54 pieces... I hope she likes the surprise!

Thanks for all the improvements...and what else you going to do in your spare time...LOL

I don't know about # of teeth but for puzzles I like Mike's Superior puzzle blade. He also has a chart for sizes of blades.

Nice job. I'm partial to the bass myself.

Wonderful Idea..Thanks for sharing.

I finally got confirmation my package arrived safe and sound in Idaho. Here is a link to some pics. http://www.woodnthingsworkshop.com/charities.html Had fun making the ornaments and the wife had fun painting everything.

Along with a few holes in the back for air circ. How about getting a piece of copper or tin and scrolling some veggies or Rooster for a piece that goes on the front for more air circulation. Most potato bins I have seen had tin punched inserts in the doors. Just a thought...
