I can relate. I have arthritis in my hands and fingers and when working in the garage in this cold I can only last about 45 Min sometimes less. The rest of my body is doing just fine but those fingers. I can't wait for spring.
-
I saw this one at an art festival last weekend, I didn't realize it was a steve good design. It looks great.
-
Nicely done. Good job.
-
That's some fine cutting, very well done.

I live in an apartment and am lucky enough to have my own separate garage so I can work. The problem is that it is also used to store a lot of things that used to be in a basement that we no longer have. It is very cramped but the nice thing is that everything is in reach.

1/8 inch BB, using the pattern I posted last week.

It's a sturdy piece of wood, It was labeled as Blue Bass, but I have not been able to find any reference to it on line to it. It is a gorgeous wood with waves blue through a creamy base. I have to plane the face by hand(no electric planer.) and sand it smooth then I will router the edge then cut the pattern. If you look in my gallery you will see the hawk pattern that I made and that is what I will be cutting on it.
-
They are gorgeous, you should be proud. That is some fine cutting.
-
I am starting a new piece and I want to router the edge, I am wondering if I should do it before or after I cut the design. Any opinions?
-
Those are cool, If you have the right crowd I'm sure it would go over very well.

I use glass, I like the more professional look. But, as an aside, I always take photographs without the glass. The glare is just to hard to eliminate.
-
well done, where can I get the sewing pattern (no pun intended)? It would be great for my mother in law who actually has a whole room just for sewing.
-
Nice cutting, I think they will love it.
-
Ron, that is some delicate work, great job. I look forward to more.

I do most of my work in an old version of Photoshop CS then change to a vector in inkscape and change it to grey with a black outline. I save that as a png. I then go to a free program called PosteRazor to resize to literally any dimension I want. It then saves it as a PDF. just print that out, tape them together and I'm good to go.

They both look great, I'm sure both of them will love them. -
Great Job all around, I agree that you could not have found a better pattern to match that piece of wood. It should definitely go into a show, first place for sure.
-
Great work, it looks fantastic.
-
Great job, I'm a huge fan of the show and love how this turned out.
-
Those are some smooth cuts, i'm jealous.

I don't us black felt, I found a a fade resistant paper at an art supply store, I use 3M spray adhesive to adhere it to the board behind the portrait. I didn't want the backing to fade if the portrait is in the sun after being purchased, and I wanted to save space within the frame. now that I am more secure in my skills I am going to switch from 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch baltic birch and that should make it much easier to frame.
-
I have tried to find a photo that corespondes with the drawing I used but I have thus far been unable to do so.
-
Love it, nicely done.
-
I found a black and white drawing online and modified it to be usable. So I can't take full credit for the pattern.
-
Just finished this up, Let me know what you think.
