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.

Lovely work Marge. I especially like the wombat picture frames - neat use of the tail as a stand. H.

Briliant work fEZ! Another of my crafts is leatherwork and, ad DW said, it had never occured to me to combine the two crafts. Wonderful use of the cursive arabic script to create something beautiful. H. -
Well Done!!! Its a good thing to really get to know your machine before you start and it sounds like that's just what you've done. Drawing around household objects then having a go at cutting them out was a great idea - one I'm sure any newcomers would do well to try. Looking forward to seeing what's to come. H.

Glorious! It makes me think of sleepy summer afternoons when you just want to sit and doze H.
-
Lovely job Mick. It shows that you are really interested in your subject. H.
-
Beautiful!

I wish I'd known about this stuff 12 months ago. I might have lost less of my thumb to my overhand planer! H.
-
Nice work Chris - I really like the design. My only comment is that they may not be too practical in use as the the fine details might get crunched and broken. Would it be worth having look at flooding the design with some clear resin once the back's on? H.
-
It looks great! I understand the need for the paint job - I do leatherwork as well as other stuff and the number of times I've dropped my paintbrush (and put a splodge in the background that then needs more paint to cover it up) could make me spit!. The paint job really brings the hog to life - my compliments to you for the bench and to your missus for the paintjob. You make a great team. H.

Yes I made the pattern from a photograph. I have this great computer program that lets you fiddle with photo's in all sorts of ways - one of which is to turn them into pure black and white and then adjust the black and white levels. It only really works with certain photo's where there is quite a bit of detail or light and shade. Ken's beard and hair were ideal subjects. I've helped other forum people out in the past with this program - one of a little girl called Zahra a while ago and the other of a guys granddaughter (I think the post is called Grandbaby).
