Nice cutting Marg. I'm sure your cousin will appreciate the planes. I especially like the Tornado. H.

Great job Edward. Its beautiful - just like the real thing. H.

Erm ... I can't see any picture.

Don't blame you for doing 3 at once - must remember that one . Lovely work Gina. H.

Lovely work DW. I always wonder how it looks so black in the cutouts when the wood is quite thick. Works well. H.

Nice one Kevin (or should that be two? ). I agree; they would make great trophies but might need a backing board to make them a little more robust (I say this having dropped a rather intricate piece and it broke into umpteen pieces ) or perhaps fill it with a clear resin like InLace? H.

Well Done to both of you - Joleet for the pattern and Robbert for the cutting. I'm sure your sisters will let you keep sawing if you're creating stuff like this Its wonderful!! H

Looks really good Gina. The economy of lines is very effective. H.

You need to take the word 'attempt' out of your title TJ - these are really good, not just attempts! Actually if they are 'attempts' I'd love to see your proper stuff lol. Well done! H

Well done on getting the first one out of the way - that's always the hardest. And you did a good job on it! H.

Well done Robbert! The one in the middle made me smile I don't have kids of my own but have seen this often enough. H.

Well done you! You've got him down to a tee with that squint an' all. I can almost smell the tobacco! I'm sure your wife will love it. H.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I have to admit I can't decide which is my favourite. I took them all to a show today and although I didn't sell any of them (nor much else for that matter) I got some useful ideas. I'm going to make another pug but put spaces between the layers and put him on a stand - in effect turning him into a letter rack - or maybe a toast rack if I treat him with foodsafe finish.

Thought you might like to see my latest projects. The spitfire and the pug were patterns from the past issues of the Scrollsaw woodworkin & crafts magazine while the miserable looking dog ('Henry') and the clock are Steve Good's patterns. Hope you like them.

Well done Gary. Nice one!. Who you callin' humble Marg? Ain't no rooster I ever met was humble. The ones I've met looked as though they thought they were as good looking as Gary's picture; even the ones that were a bit ragged round the edges. H.
