  1. Theresa is really busy working 3 jobs which gives her almost no time off for woodworking. i am going on vacation on Sunday for 2 weeks and Theresa and my other daughter will be ding the craft show while I am gone. I hope she gets more time on her post office job so she does not have to work 3 jobs and can get back to her wood working again.. I will tell her you asked about her Dick heppnerguy
  2. Del. I have to chime in too and say that i am very impressed with this wonderful box. I am sure it will be in big demand once others see this. Dick heppnerguy
  3. I have another suggestion about the pattern coming loose from the wood while you are cutting. I believe that you are probably using a good enough glue. I also believe you are using enough glue, as it takes very little to set up Ok. so my suggestion is......even if the wood you are putting the pattern is a sanded board, re-sand it with an electric sander,( if you have one), then wipe it clean of sanding dust followed by checking the cleanliness with the palm of your hand. If no dust is then present, place the sprayed pattern on the wood. rub your hand over the pattern you just placed on the wood to be sure it is flat on the wood with no air holes between the pattern and the wood. that should do it. I discovered this method after I too experienced your problem and I have not experienced again, since I have started do the above. I hope this might help you Dick heppnerguy
  4. Your ornaments are very attractive and priced to sell. I can not imagine they will not all sell once someone sees them. Dick heppnerguy
  5. I have been wanting to cut this one for a long time and never had the guts to give it a try. After I got it cut out and was sanding off some of the fuzzies, a piece broke off and i could not find it. Other than that, I was basically pleased with the results. If I were going to cut it again, I would enlarge he pattern as there were quite a few pretty delicate areas that would be made a little easier to cut if the pattern were larger. I want to take a moment and thank Paul,(Scrappile) for giving me this wood I used for this project and for the inspiration he gave me as I viewed his amazing projects that he has cut. I used the 3/0 spiral on this one. I still do not care for all the work the spirals leave you with in regards to a the cleaning up of fuzzies but it is what it is. Dick heppnerguy

  22. Valerie, Reading your post brings back a memory that I have about loosing our granddaughter to an accident at the beach. It has been the most difficult loss our family has had to go through and even after 15 years, it still is hard. Things will eventually get a little better but never goes completely away. But then, we never wish for the memory of all the wonderful times we had with our granddaughter to ever be gone completely. I can not express the sadness I personally feel from your losses.
