    Great idea. I use a piece of pine and shoot a 2 inch brad. Fix to 2x4. Makes great hangers for drying or spraying.

    Well done. Love the fonts

    Try AI. I have use coplot with some success. You just have to state exactly what you want and then ask for adjustments. Works great. I want ballerina slippers with a bow and it was perfect. I asked for svg but I cot back a png but it trace perfectly in Inkscape and I was able to create my pattern. I asked if free to use and I got back a message was maybe depending on source but it would not tell me the source. Since it was for personal use I used it anyways,

    Each year when Travis puts out the call for new patterns I have an idea what to do. This year I was busy with other projects and teaching I was not prepared. I always cut before submitting to make sure everything okay. Well I have finally got them all cut and a few issues. The notes and clef were my Granddaughter's request for here tree in her room. Easy to cut so I did 5 more for her to paint. The Gnome on the moonbeam - this is not the same as the pattern in the book. I had a star on the top and when I passed it around at show at our club it got broken. It is way too thin so it should have been thicker. Also, the reins on the Santa sleigh as quite thin should have been thicker. Would have changed if I cut before submitting.

    I just finished the keychains on the Papa do list. ( Actually I suggested.) 60 keychains for the teachers and stall at her new school. Cut in maple, FB UR#1 and 3. Dipped in 50/50 shellac/alcohol. Buffed with carnaubawax

    I have checked an the link https://www.stevedgood.com/stencil/ works on Window machine. OR . check to see if your computer has mychain.otf or mychain.ttf if so you can use any word processor or Inkscape to generate keychains. period starts the chain and slash ends it. I use 90 point type. If not, you can do in Inkscape if you are so inclined. Here is my svg that I use when I do not want to use the Arial heavy font. Let my know if this is okay and I can provide more instructions. Or as last resort do as FAB4 says. You may not get and answer but check in a couple of days to see if fixed. PS: I do a lot of keychains (just finished Christmas order of 60 chains) so I tend not to use the individual keychain maker when doing multiples at a time. KEYCHAIN.svg

    That is how I found it on Bobby Riggs site. I used the Bing search - same thing.

    Well done. Love the baskets
  12. don in brooklin on
    WOW really looks nice. I like the colours on all pieces. Never in my life have I ever "pushed through" a piece of Intarsia. They usually stay as PHD's (projects half done) for a while. Good luck in your next sale.

    Travis what is your deadline? I just need to get 1 more idea
  14. don in brooklin on

    I have compiled the index for the Ornaments for charity. index ornament for charity.xlsx

    The only thing I can think of is that you have to increase the threshold to make it show, Can you post the image and I will try. If an issue to post send it via PM.
  17. don in brooklin on
    Down at bottom is live updates clicked on? You also need to click on image before trace bit map. Once you hit apply the path is on top of image. Don

    cswilliams1693 posted he was having trouble with this. Not rocket science = Download the zip package - extract all Now select the svg you want. I did CustomHolidayOrnaments2025_US-Letter Select pattern you want and add name. Easy - if you follow the instructions ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I do patterns for fellow members of our club (N/C) and I had 2 unique request this year. 1. A member order 6 different patterns from previous and this years pattern. Everyone had the word NOEL as she was not sure who was getting which. 2. Another person asked for 2 names. Pattern looks okay. I did both with the & on the top line and bottom and he was going to choose. He has a "few" more to do once he cuts one.

    Thanks for the tip. I use LibreOffice and it works great.

    I make a lot of key chains and I normally use Steve Goods program. On the Daddy do list is 57 key chains that my daughter wants to give to the staff and teachers in her school. She provided me a list in word and so instead of keying them individually in to Steve Goods program, I added a period to the first of each name and the / to the end. Selected all and change font to my chain and font size to 90 and all done. No typos no proofing. Now with about 6 weeks till she needs them just need to do 10 and week,

    There is a good post by the Artisan pirate on how he does it. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/49694-how-do-you-make-a-compound-cut-pattern/#comment-520047 I make block in Inkscape you would just have to add the key ring. Here is a picture cut by Mimi.

    HI I do a similar pattern for mimi. It was an original Steve Good pattern. This is for US Navy Vet but I do the same for US Navy . the logo is different??? I created a circle the right dimension and take the text (Arial heavy) and text>put on path. Then I have the text touch circle and do union. I see Steve's pattern is glued to a backer. I might take the backer make a little bigger and then take the letters and glued to backer at the bottom in a circle. If this seems outside your comfort zone you can send me the name in upper and I can see what I can do and what pattern Don

    I down load and open in Inkscape I get the image on top of the Inkscape canvas. If you select the image you get get the arrows. Note it I double click on the downloaded file the image is directly over the canvas but same to get off the canvas. Now drag the image to left or right. I went left and then path-trace bit map, If you have any other questions please let me know.

    I won't buy any issue. I wait until they come available on DVD. I have issues 1 - 84. All patterns avaliable. I got an email yesterday that the DVDS where 50% off. Don't know if specific to me but worth call. Last time I talked to customer service they said USB stick could be made avaliable but no digital download. Now waiting for 85 - 96.
