We love to share our work here for others to see what we are up to. Everyone is very friendly here and we all started at one time or another where you are right now.

    My grandson showed an interest in scrolling a couple of years ago and cut a couple of pieces for Christmas gifts for his sister. He seemed to enjoy it but never was interested in it after that, I hope some day he might go back at it again. I love that the kids are willing to give this a try. It is really good for them and us Dick heppnerguy

    Thank you for the really nice encouragement and helpful hints.. I will try to keep this in mind as I continue to work on my understanding of how to make portrait patterns. I love your helpful comments. Dick heppnerguy

    Marg, I know by your posts that you are only holding yourself back, because your skills are already in place. You just need to 'go for it"...Let me suggest that you pick just one thing to accomplish this year and start doing them this month and every month here after....You can do it Dick heppnerguy

    Roly, I continue to preach to new scrollers" to not start with things that look complicated, but rather start on the 'easy' ones and work into the more complicated ones when you are confident withthe ones you have been doing.. Then jump into something a little more complex and you will be avoiding some disappointments that way" Thanks for reminding me of what I say to others.... Dick heppnerguy.

    This year i am working on learning portrait patterns and trying my luck at patterns in general at the same time. This past year I was able to fulfill a couple of my resolutions as i learned to be comfortable with the dreaded spiral blade and pushing my envelope to cut things I was straying from because of lack of confidence. Not everything went as well as I had hoped but progress was definitely made made. have made three portrait patterns so far. I can see I have a lot yet to learn but I am working on them and I am confident that I will succeed well enough that eventually I will catch on, (at least I hope so ). I also made a fret work pattern of an owl today. Again, I still have a long ways to go, but if one does not try, one will stay stale. So I will continue to make efforts and we all will see IF I am making progress or if I just don't have the talent for this endeavor. I enclosed my efforts of today. Dick heppnerguy

    ha ha funny guy.....fun idea.. not sure how well they will sell, but I usually find that I am wrong about what is sell and what will not. Often something I post on my Facebook page, just to add something new. sells several and amazes me, once more. Let us know, if you do have them at a sale, how they do.. Dick heppnerguy

    fret clocks are not only interesting to look at but also fun to cut. I took like the colorization you made as it stands out really well. One can not go wrong with a Sue Mey pattern, that is for sure. Easy to see why the wife loves her new clock. This will probably have returns of orders for friends that see it. Dick heppnerguy

    Thanks Paul. You nailed it for me. Thanks for the information I was after.. I now have it once more.. You can be sure I will be using it soon. Hey, HAPPY NEW YEAR, Paul. Dick heppnerguy

    Paul was right on. As soon as I heard his suggested font name, I knew that was it... ( tropicana ) You can find it on DaFonts and the download is free. Dick heppnerguy

    Way to go, Dave.. Yours skills are amazing, especially considering the short time you have been scrolling..Some have it and develop it while others have it and are afraid to push the envelope.. You are always pushing yours... wonderful piece Dick heppnerguy

    I am not sure what exactly you are after but I went to Inkscape and made a quick try of what I think you are looking to do . this is easily done, if I understand what you are after . If this is what you are trying to do, I can explain how to achieve this in a couple of quick sentences At this point I am not really sure though Dick heppnerguy

    my scrolling, new years resolution is to make a good honest effort to learn portrait pattern making ... Dick heppnerguy

    Looks like Judy has made a lot of people happy campers with her books. I guess the idea and choice is perfect Dick heppnerguy

    Maybe you could make some wood art that says "No Smoking" and glue it to the top...Just being a wise guy.. I was going to suggest filling it with sand too.. but really I would not use it as an ashtray. Wood is a fuel, you know... might just use is as a desk top decoration, instead Dick heppnerguy

    I can see that you have really been bitten by the scroll bug. It probably amazed you when you found out what you were able to do with a scroll saw and a piece of wood. Your work is well done and I expect you will be busy all year making gifts for weddings, graduations and and birthdays. Looks like you are well on your way to achieving whatever you decide to do. I am with you with not wanting to set around and do nothing. Keep up the good work and make sure the number one thing you keep doing is having fun... Dick heppnerguy

    I don't know about the EX but if I remember correctly, most saws do not run an true parallel on the blade so that they clear the sawdust better which in turn helps the blades to cut faster and better. I could be wrong about what i remember,as that happens to me often as I get older but that is what I seem to recall Dick heppnerguy

    Looks pretty unanimous to me.. i have to agree with the rest of the people Dick heppnerguy

    I love seeing something that one discovers and shares that is a little different twist on things. I have not liked the glue/sawdust mix for the drilled holes with inlay-ed pieces so I just might give this idea a try on my next effort. Dick heppnerguy
  24. heppnerguy
    very nicely done...Thanks for sharing.. these will be well received and cherished, I feel sure of that Dick heppnerguy

    Merry Christmas to you and yours. Glad you are part of our world wide family Dick heppnerguy
