    Hey yall, i must admit this is my first post in this category, but i am going out on a limb here, i bought the art of intarsia projects and patterns by Garnet Hall, from Barnes and noble, well just what i see so far, haven't set down to read it yet, looks very complicated... is it that complicated, or is it just my nerves messing with me, i am anxious to get started on it, gonna start on Monday, i am looking forward of doing intarsia, they are just so pretty and cool looking..

    thanx bulldog, lol hunter, me too, i should give it to him for cmas,,, Kevin, how many years have i been scrollin u ask?? lolol not years,, months, i bought my first scroll saw about 5 months ago, around the same time i found this forum. Guess i am a fast learner, only because of other members, when i got a question, they either help me out or put me on track of getting the answer. Travis with his portrait pattern making DVD's was awesome. and quite a few others have helped along the way... how is my scroll saw doing?? well lets see, my speed control got fixed magically, now when you take blade out of top the arm doesnt spring up no more, and my air nozzle isnt shooting air. cleaned out the tube, but still no air,so i guess i am killing my scroll saw! sorry for rambling again

    Susie, Kevin, hey yall, thanks for the replies, lol Kevin, yeah did this kind of puzzle for the first time today, have done a couple animal and name puzzles, im getting addicted to them
  8. cjswoodcrafts
    Paul, thanks, yeah i wasn't to sure when i started these puzzles that i would like them, cause i hate putting puzzles together,, my mom loved puzzles, never got good enough. but i have to say eve since i did that wolf animal free standing puzzle, pattern is on the pattern library page, i sort of became hooked, then a customer wanted 2 names made into a puzzle, i liked them, so looks like puzzles might be a good seller. going tomorrow to the flea market ughhh 5 am comes early,,, sorry for rambling, thanks again Paul

    Hey yall, did this one today, got the template from arpop on his site, photo is of my wife Connie and I, used 3m adhesive glue to put photo paper to 1/4 inch sandeply, taped the template on top of the photo, came out well i think, made it black and white cause i wasnt sure if it would come out right, but it did

    Hi tim, welcome to the village, great place to make friends and learn new things, there are some awesome scrollers here, so if you got a question, don't hesitate to ask

    I am on dial up and using aol, i know im really late on this topic, i have found that internet explorer works better then aol, and when on dial up and uploading pics to this forum, if the photo is a big size, it wont upload it and will go to a page not found,, then Travis suggested i use a program to rezise it to a smaller size, now i use fotosizer, makes a big photo into a smaller kb size. One day i will get with the rest of the world and into the 21st century, and get high speed, but for now, i use the above way.
  13. cjswoodcrafts
    just thought id put up a pic of my shop, its a little dark, but its still seeable
  14. cjswoodcrafts
    Paul, clayton, reaper thanks for all the nice feed backs, yeah i like the name puzzles too, in the process of making my niece and nephew names brother ordered them. reaper, there really isnt a pattern i use, i use microsoft word art type in one letter at a time, and fit them together so it will look good, then i print it, scan back into the comp, then use gimp to draw out the puzzle outline, with the finished pattern once i get it ready to transfer to wood, i usually gotta make some changes, either make part of the puzzle, wider, smaller, bigger... whatever it needs

Pattern i made myself, used posteriza to enlarge it. Hope yall like
