Well Kevin, this isn't very "Artsy" but it was easiest. If this won't work for you, or you would rather have something different, let me know. I have a couple of other ideas using a hammer or maybe a sword. I gave you two choices of pictures, depending on which style you like to cut.

You are always good about posting a pictures so i don't need to ask

Best of Luck

Russell

Yes Very Nice. Did you make the pattern?

Russell

If i were to attempt this request i would need a couple of things. First the pictures should be photographed seperately. Make sure you are looking STRAIGHT down on them. This picture was taken at a slight angle. Then post both images. Make sure you are directly above the pictures when you take the shot, that will give the correct perspective. I can change the perspective, but that would require much more work, and with one bigger than the other it will just be much easier if you post two images.

Best of luck

Russell

I think you would have much better luck getting a response to this request if you posted a picture you would like turned into a pattern. I wouldn't want to spend hours on a pattern you didn't want. If i was thinking you wanted a team pulling a plow and what you were thinking was a team pulling a corn binder well that would be a waste of our time. lol I am thinking you would like a team hitched to a wagon, but then that is just a guess. Or a sled? or pulling logs? See my point? If you post a picture i'm sure someone will be glad to help you. Maybe the woman that wants the cutting has some ideas as to what she wants.

Russell

Wow i really like that, it turned out great. You did a beautiful job on a very tough pattern. Thanks for taking the time to post a picture

Russell

Hey thanks for posting a picture, It turned out great!

Very nice i like it! colors work very well together as well

Nice cutting amazingkevin! And glad to see you giving the patternmaker credit, but i don't think that was a pattern i did. Are you sure it was one i did? I wouldn't want to take credit for someone elses work.

Again, nice cutting, it looks good no matter who made the pattern

Russell

OH MY! Wow very nice, how many hours were invested in this project? I hope you didn't keep track of it! lol

super job on this

Russell

Wow nice one,lots of work there, who's pattern?

Yep it turned out great, nice work. hope your hand is all healed up from the joiner "mishap"

Russell

Wow very very nice

Very nice i really like the second one wtih the bark in the background. Yes, who did the pattern?

Very nicely done.

This .pdf is a coupon for $10 in free printing at Office Depot. I thought maybe some puzzle makers or someone that needed a large pattern printed could use the 10 bucks off coupon. Just print and cut. Or here's the link. https://www.myworkliferewards.com/pdf/promotions/rc/011012_EN.pdf

Russell

Well Jesse this is what i came up with so far.

Russell

I was looking at some old patterns today and saw these old avertisments out of a book published in 1876. I thought they were interesting, the price and the style were fun to look at.

Russell

I don't really understand what you want. An anchor that says chief on it? Did you want an anchor in it at all? Just confused on what you'd like.

hey thanks! That's just the kind of information i was hoping for. I have been trying to keep the dpi at 150 but man that three pixels is way small, ha, even at 150

i was also hoping that five pix was big enough that was what i was trying to use mostly. As a gauge and to make lines. Good.

Thanks for the info, I'll make that a standard practice now.

Russell

I have been trying to learn pattern making, I've made a few, but i'm wondering how small the minimum width a bridge should be. I would think that it depends on the material and the skill of the person cutting. Am i right in this? How narrow can i go on the bridges? What makes most people comfortable? Not much point in doing all the work and not having anyone be able to cut them..

TIA

Russell

I was looking in the tools section of the Mansfield Ohio Craigslist and saw this DW788 20" scroll saw for sale. Not sure if anyone would live close enough to take advantage of this deal. Seems like a deal to me anyway. Here's the link. You can check it out
