  1. I have been cutting a chess set out of 2x4 spf and have found that FD polar #5 and #7 work well. I have used #6 skip tooth successfully too.
  2. I think I have it. Will pm when I get home.
  3. I wanted issue 159 ( the one with Diana Thompson's awareness angel) and I was able to contact a seller on ebay that had a collection and they split the one off and sold it to me reasonably. Here is one seller https://www.ebay.ca/itm/116076942813?itmmeta=01HQTFVWZ932WBCHTMFDQD7E77&hash=item1b06b995dd:g:H9oAAOSwi25l17EL&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0IM4Nbs49vpNATDkMmx8O35W%2FDovAjcECWASdgbQT1Bolr9O7Tl0aYzFf4y8gqtZacjcac9KDeBAS%2B4WZ78G0Q%2FAHiXWnMZQam0OkPJEo3MJQ3sWcuDP%2BxlFwGtr0tDe54vJ%2BLppzhjFIIfrPEdaK%2FXN1bKCj9iZSh1vuaOcBLp%2FqtGSHewdYsxJfhjyppz%2Fkrg1dk%2BcEbFC3S00MyberUf%2FjKYg50j%2FBofYJJBWrYTBiASrG7xdtTmR541CIvo85vbsPPmORJbS7hwtV2HKtNk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-DP78--Yw There maybe other too.
  4. If you like your King 16 inch why not the King 30 inch? Here is Canada the 30 inch just went on sale for same price as the 21 inch. These are Canadian Prices so they are way more than US$. Here in Canada the cost of a Pegas 30 inch is $1,874 so even with the new Pegas Blade Holders (if you think you want them) it is way cheaper. Food for thought, Steve Good posted awhile ago that 96% of his patterns could be cut on a 16inch and it would be possible to cut the rest with multiple holes. If I was in the US I would look seriously at a Seyco 21 or 24. I believe that Charles Dearing who does a lot of large portraits and pictures uses a Seyco. Quote from my presentation on Scroll Saws BUY THE BEST AND CRY ONLY ONCE
  5. Looks good but it should be easy to align and distribute. There are lots of videos on this from years ago. Here is one https://youtu.be/MNgjZDkQW1w?si=kddiK7YOSBolxtHy If still not working I would report to Inkscape. They have a forum and a bug report.
  6. For some reason the stars are grouped together with 2 gray boxes and a red one. If ungroup 3 times (ctrl-shift-g) you will end up with all the stars as individual objects. Delete theboxes and you can lasso the 7 at the top and centre align and the distribute with equal horizontal. Continue as per Travis's video. I hope that makes sense. Any more questions let me know.

  7. Can you post the svg so we can take a look. I tried a quick blue block and 7 stars then the 6 and it seemed to work okay. I am using Windows 11 and inkscape 1.3.2 Don test.svg
  8. My Walmart usually has the book.. If there is something of interest I will buy it. Rolf, when the pattern is in the fold out do they send the pattern to you on the broadsheet or just the individual pattern. It is a real pain to copy the pattern especially if It is an Intarsia project that goes over the fold. I may give them a better evaluation if you had to copy like the buyer.
  9. Love the idea. I lost the battle with our squirrels here. Would love to have the birds on the railing, Very cool.
  10. Welcome from Brooklin, Ontario Canada. I think everyone takes off blade guard and looses it eventually unless RBI is any different.
  11. Can you post the SVG here so we can see how it opens in Windows. Don
  12. Need a stocking stuffer for LOML who loves gnomes and dangles. Idea came from Sue Mey.
  13. I did a baseball pattern for the Ornaments for Charity and test cut for my 2 grand sons and then the boss says what about the other 3. I came up with the attached. My Grand daughter is in woodworking at school and made an Adirondack chair, other GD is in a couple of musicals this year and the other grandson is a D&D fan.
  14. Scroll Workshop has 2 of Carole Rotham's ribbon boxes. Issue 57 page 38 Issue 32 page 41. I have these issues on the DVD's so easy to access.
  15. Steve Good has 3 Ribbon Boxes https://www.stevedgood.com/catalog/index.php Search for "ribbon"
  16. The patterns are at Winfield Collections. Also in very old Creative Craft Magazine. Steve Good has a single bird. I gave a prestation on doing Compound cutting and attached is a PDF with the links included. I hope they still work. mini presentation.pdf
  17. I believe it is this book. Angel on cover. Available on Amazon or Foxchappel
  18. This font is close to to oxford. It might be that the scroller took some liberties. "right hand side of V is ticker. I tried to find the source and there are quite a few fonts called oxford. I think I got it here https://www.fonts.com/search/all-fonts?searchtext=oxford&submit=Search
  19. Thanks I did not see. I was do impressed with the bird that I missed it. Very Cool. Don
  20. Glad you did well with your ornaments. Can you post a picture of the heart one? thanks Don
  21. To clear thing up. The web site is no longer active. You have to get the patterns from Winfield collections as stated above. They only send the patterns via mail and it is really expensive to get especially in Canada. PITA Diana never published birdhouses in Scroll Saw Magazine. Did lots of other compound patterns but not birdhouses. The original birdhouses were published in Creative Woodworking and Crafts. Originally in May 2001 issue 156 and then a few more in November 2022 issue 160. I bought both books from eBay even though I had the patterns from her web site.
  22. Before I submit my ornaments I always cut and make any modifications needed. Here are my entries for this year book. Check out the latest version as there are lots of neat ornaments. Thanks to Travis for all his hard work. This is Merry Christmas from Steve Goods "Fred" I stacked cut Joy to the World and when I did it I got an ornament with a backer and a free standing,
  23. I have had a Porter Cable and a Mouse and hardly ever used. Gave Porter Cable away, What I use on nearly every project is my KIingspor MacMop. expensive but they last a long time. Removes fuzzies but I also does a great job rounding over.
  24. Sure looks like the style H. Botas designs in but could not see on his Facebook page. There are other Santa's that a close I used google images search and it is here to $2.99 https://svgmilo.com/products/santa-claus-svg-santa-face-svg
