Cars are always enjoyed by the guys. The addition of the clock makes it extra special and useful Dick heppnerguy

I bought an old table saw stand that I sanded and painted for one of my scroll saws and it worked out great. You may want to check out Craigslist near you and see if you can find one on there. I have seen them several times before for about $5 OR $10 max. Worth a try Dick heppnerguy

I have seen it before and I would encourage you to go with him. It is truly fascinating and beyond anything you would imagine it to be. Anything lessor than the right in the epicenter is only a disappointment. go see it. It is supposed to be another 70 years before you may have this opportunity again Dick

Thank you for the nice words. We will be returning to Oregon for about 3 weeks and going to a baby shower and visiting family and friends, followed by watching the eclipse. then back home for most of the winter months where the temperature is like spring. That will be hard to take Dick heppnerguy

They never appealed much to me, buy I have to admit that I am giving it consideration. Dick

Glad to hear that. You have been burned too many times before Dick heppnerguy

U John. We are neighbors. We will need to get together soon. We live in Casa Grande. We will be going to Oregon in a couple of days but e will be home the first of September. I would really enjoy meeting you. Let's get together soon Dick heppnerguy

This is pattern of Sue Mey in Africa. Her site is www.scrollsawartist.com she sends her patterns to your computer where you can print out the pattern in a couple of minutes. Worth a long as her patterns are some of best out there Dick heppnerguy

Roly, I have to admit that I am one pretty lucky guy. More than I ever imagined I would have. Love it here but I am waiting for the temperatures to be in the 80's instead of 100's. Only a couple of months away now.. Dick

I am pretty sure that the Hawk has a three legged stand and has for some time. They used to be an option, I believe. I would suggest you give them a call and ask about the three legged stand. Dick heppnerguy

Anxious to see what you decide to make with it. Tell us also how it cut. Interesting when you find something new. Thanks for sharing Dick heppnerguy

cute sign. I like it Dick heppnerguy

Thanks Paul. We should be able to get together for an afternoon in your area while we are in Heppner. Not sure if Sharon will be traveling with me or not but I will be there. I will give you a call a couple of days before and let you know Dick

Thank you, Dave. There is a lot of work involved with a long move like this one. We sold almost all of our furniture and had to purchase all new items here. That takes some time but we have things in good order here now. Our house is very nice and we have a lake that is only 4 feet off our back patio and has a lot of large fish and turtles in it. My wife and I sit on the patio and feed the fish and turtles every morning as we drink our coffee. I hope to find a lot more time in The Village pretty soon. We are leaving on Thursday for most of the month to go back for a three week visit with family in Heppner and to watch the eclipse. Then we will be heading back home to Arizona. That will put some down time for me and my computer time too. Dick heppnerguy

Roly, I have a double garage in our new home that is air conditioned and was perfect for me to put my shop in. It is very warm here in Southern Arizona and to have a built in A/C was a blessing. There are a lot of built in storage in it also. The lighting is quite well too. So what I did was, I separated my 4 piece work bench that I had in my second shop in Oregon and put it together to form an 8 foot X 10 foot table. it has two areas where there is a three foot wide open space in the middle and center on both sides where I can sit and do my work at the table. I also have another work bench against the wall with seating area. There are drawers and area under each where I have covered storage for whatever I decide to place there. Against both main walls of the garage has enclosed shelving from one end to the other. I have to admit that I still have not gotten everything in the places where I wish them to be, yet. We also have another one car garage that is totally separate from my shop where we park our car. Later on, I will take photos of it so you can see what I have. I have a lot of room to work in and I could still park a vehicle in the open part of my shop when someone comes to visit us if I wish. Dick heppnerguy

The animal puzzles seem to be all the rage right now. It reminds me of when the intersecting art became popular about a year and a half ago.. Everyone was making them. Dick heppnerguy

Colorizing can be fun and it can become discouraging, I guess if one is going to colorize something they might find it best to try it on a piece of scrap from the same wood as the project, first Dick heppnerguy

You are loving those puzzles. fun to make and look at for sure Dick heppnerguy

Kevin, You should quote everyone that asks you to do something for them. If it is a gift, that is fine, but if you expect a fee, don't be shy. Tell them up front how much it will be. If they do not want to pay for it, then thank them and go on your way. Remember, they are not going to get someone to donate their work, no more than the business that asks you to do something expects you to receive their goods for free. Buck up and be a business man. If they don't want to give you something for you time and material, you really do not need to try and make them a friend to mooch off you. Dick heppnerguy

You are the man...I am still amazed at your work. You are an inspiration to all that view it. Dick heppnerguy

great job....you might be pushing me to try an animal puzzle, Really have never been interested in cutting them, but now i am starting to rethink that Dick heppnerguy

Wow, How could they not love this little guys sitting on the counter of their place??? Veru cute and creative. Dick heppnerguy

Absolutely an adorable piece.. I am going to look this one up and see if it is in the pattern library Dick heppnerguy

I have been eyeing this one for a long time. Might just be about ready to order it. Dick heppnerguy

one of mine also, Alex
