Nice work Joe, good clean lines Harvey

I am having the same problem, I am doing portrait work, and am also making my own patterns. I am fairly new at this, but seem to have a nack. I am told that I should be selling my work, as well as asked how much? I don't have a clue, because if you try to factor in all the time it took from start to finish, nobody would pay that much. So I am in the same delimma. Very good question gonefishing, I am interested in the replies as well. Thanks, Harvey

Thank you Travis, that is really good info to know, espically since I use birch alot. Harvey

Thank you all for the sources, I will go see what I can find, and hopefully be able to post a pattern soon. Again thanks

I have really gotten in to this pattern making, but all I have done so far are portraits. I have a picture of a 41 willys which happens to be the best car ever made IMHO I was wanting to make a pattern of it, But I don't know where I got the picture. I know I downloaded it about a year ago, so how can I find out whether or not I can use it? Thanks Harvey

Thank you all for your comments, I really am enjoying this new found hobby (obssesion) , I look forward to looking at all the great work that SSW has to offer, it really inspires me. Dave I used 1/8" Baltic Birch, I love the way it cuts. Harvey

Welcome Grannyjo, I have only been here for a week and a half, and let me tell you the people here are great, you truely will love it here. Look forward to seeing some of your work, and if your anywhere around southwest Va, get ready the snows on the way.

I have been so busy making things for everyone else, I had'nt done anything for the most important one, my Sweetheart. Well here is my second pattern, it is a picture of my father in law who passed away 3 years ago

Looks great, love the background.

First off, I want to say thanks for all of your kind words, and your suggestions and most of all for noticing the missing ear I must say you guys do wonders for a newbies confidence. Well here is a picture of the cutting, and again thank you all it is great being apart of the village.

By the way my name is Harvey, and I am in Roanoke Va

Hello all, glad to be here, just started scrolling 3 weeks ago, and I'm already hooked, a bit frustrated, but hooked none the less. Looking forward to learning as much as possible. Thanks for having me.
