What a fabulous piece.. I bet that one will remain in the family forever Dick heppnerguy

My gosh, Dan. those are wonderful. My eyes lit up when i uploaded your photo and saw how fun they were.. got me thinking......that is not easy for me, you know Dick heppnerguy

again, fun stuff.. Quick, easy and a definite attention getter Dick heppnerguy

Boy was I wrong... i think it turned out really cute too.. Dick heppnerguy

OK i often make something that is just a quick and fun item as I am waiting for paint of glue to dry and I really do not consider it as anything I would want to brag about, but it is your web sight and I will honor your wishes.. thank you for putting my straight. I know I am an offender of posting things there for the reason I expressed, but you won't find me crossing the line again, I love it way to much here. Dick heppner

It sounds like it is a popular pattern as many commented on cutting it too. I myself have cut a few of the compound ornaments and this particular pattern was one of the ones that i cut, first. fun to be able to take a piece of 2 X 2 and make something attractive out of them.. The year I was cutting them, we put one on the outside of everyone's Christmas present and everyone loved them too. You might consider that too. Nice ornament. You did very well with it Dick heppnerguy

I was in my shop gluing up a piece of intarsia that I am making for my wife for Christmas and i got a little frustrated because I would glue a piece and set the glue bottle down. then when I was ready to glue the next one, I had to wait and wait for the glue to get to the tip of the nozzle again, before I could glue my next piece, well this happened several times and I began to think about how i did not like all that unnecessary waiting time so I began to try to figure out how to eliminate this problem. I thought, "If i could keep the bottle inverted the glue would not run to the bottom of the bottle, hence, I would not have to wait each time I was ready to glue another piece. I sure could not stand it on the tip as the bottle would just fall over." And then the light bulb turned on in my head and this is what I came up with for my solution. Perhaps most do not have this problem, but I figure, if I do, so do others so I decided to post if. Oh and by the way, it works perfectly. in the first photo you can see that I have a small coffee can and a piece of wood laying next to it. The wood piece is inverted to show the underside. I traced the outside of the can and cut a hole in the middle where I wanted to insert my inverted glue bottle. As you can see on the wood, I cut three areas that extended past the main circle and glued three small pieces of scrap wood just out side the can's diameter. this is to help center the wood on the can and also to keep it in place as I used it in the second photo, you can see how I use this device to keep the glue bottle inverted. Note that the little extra tabs I glued on it are now facing downward and they are surrounding the coffee can. Of course any can or bottle will work. There you go gang. This is about the extent of how my pee sized brain works. I may not be able to come up with another idea until next year Dick heppnerguy

Way to go. the trick is to stick with the physical Therapy and don't lack off on it. It leads to a quicker and better recovery.. nice to hear how well you are doing..Roly, take my advice and follow all the doctors orders so you can do as well as Edward did Dick heppnerguy

Peter I love your creativity. This will be a fine shop for scrolling ..One thing I like about scrolling is your don't need a whole lot of space to have a workable shop..This looks like it will be a great place for you to continue doing what you do so will. Great building ideas too, for me. Dick heppnerguy

the kids ?? heck I love them.. these are quick and easy patterns to cut but so decorative and festive. Good work Dick heppnerguy

A really fun piece. full of humor and joy. The colors make it come alive Dick heppnerguy

Welcome to The Village. This is a fun place to logon to. The folks here are helpful and extremely friendly, they even let me stick around on occasion.. Take time to look around and log on her often Dick heppnerguy

I had just finished gluing up a piece and had some time as I waited for the glue to set so i rummaged through on of my pattern drawers and found this cute little owl with no reference as to who the pattern maker was, so I printed out a copy and cut this one. As anyone can see, it is a quick and simple pattern that a new scroller could easily cut but I liked it so I went ahead and cut it just for the fun on it. I decided that moving from my usual square piece to something a little different might help with my 'do it the same way' that I get caught up in. I did like the outside shape for the change it offered me and I need to move on and experiment with other ideas. Maybe why my wife calls me boring. Dick heppnerguy

I hab Ve has my type. 2 for about ten years and I use it a lot. Stripped out the blade clamp once using a leverage for easier tightening. Won't do that again. Never been to the repair shop yet Dick heppnetgiy

Family is so important. You showed your gratitude for. Your in a very special wY Dick heppnerguy

I love the original ideas that pop up here so often. Way to go, Jerry Dick heppnetguy

Oh you may want to add a man door as the overhead door will let a lot of heat in or out, really fast, I think.. just me take, but for me it would not make a lot of difference because I heat my shop with a little wood burning stove Dick heppnerguy

Actually, I too use a tooth brush, but it is a large stiff one use for cleaning false teeth. it works pretty well for me.. Dick

You can also use a stiff brush to remove the frizzies. This tip was given to a grandfather by his young gtanddaughter.. i loved that part of the hint.. was not given to me, someone else posted it here about 8 months ago or so Dick heppnerguy

A really interesting piece. Makes a lot of people want to cut this too, it sounds like. You did a super job on it. Hope to see a lot more of your work soon Dick heppnerguy

I enjoyed viewing all your work. You seem to have an interest in a variety of different scroll sawing items. All done very well too. Hope to see more of your work in the future Dick heppnerguy

I am not hot on painting my scrolled items but it is definitely a nice touch with this item. Not only are they cut we'll and the pattern is a really good eye appealed, but the finish really sets it off. I have to give you a gold star on this one. Thanks for sharing Dick heppnerguy

Chris, I too wish to welcome you to The Village. You will find that a lot of friendly people here and a heck of a lot of free patterns to download and cut. The secret is to old on often so everyone can get to know you better and you us. Glad you found us and decided to join up now go explore everything and if you have any questions about anything at all don't hesitate to ask Dick heppnerguy

With a hard wood I don't have very many fuzziness either but with BB ply I get some and also some breakouts when the piece has several hundred really close and small holes like with a fret clock or when I cut the Eiffel Tower. My go to blade For 1/8 to 1/4 inch is a double tooth/reversible. Usually pretty good with normal holes and frizzies but for thinker hard wood I often use scrollsaw rev. Skip tooth blade. I was amazed when I cut what I consider a pretty fragile piece and used an orbital sander on it with no breakage. Dick heppnerguy

I have one of our granddaughters visiting for the weekend and as we were talking about decorations, she said that she had no Halloween decorations, so I told her I would be happy to make her one, if she wanted one. She said that she did and I had just seen a Steve Good pattern and was going to make one to post on my Facebook page, so the timing was perfect. You see here, the results Dick heppnerguy
