yes it is easy to move and the clock insert can be removed. I usually spray lacquer from a can like Deft. It just has so many parts tat stick out in front of each other so it does not seem possible to successfully spray anything because everything would be blocked behind all the gingerbread in front of all the main body of the clock. Dick heppnerguy

I have now completed this clock that I had intended to be my wife,a valentines gift but I am a couple of days late. This is the most complex piece I have ever cut and after all the pieces were finally cut and I was starting my assembly process I discovered to my dismay, that I had printed and cut my parts on two different sizes. I was, fortunately able to make adjustments and was able to use all the mis sized pieces. But now that I have it all put together I have found another dilemma. I have no idea as to how to put a finish on this clock. There are many layers in placement in front of one another and I see no way to use a brush or a sprayer to get the job done. So HELP ME IF YOU CAN. Anyone with an idea to help me make this click turn out the way I would really like it to be. Dick heppnerguy

sorry for the mail problems you have. I guess you just need to sell that house and move back up into the Pacific Northwest again Dick heppnerguy

would you like to have me order some and mail them to you Dick heppnerguy

I agree it is a wonderfully done pattern. I guess I had best get my wife's project finished and get back to my New Years resolution. That being learning wooden portrait pattern making b

I can't see the photo either but I bet that Travid probably removed it because it is copyrite issue

It seems like you have beenemtioning being out of spiral blades for a long time. Why is it taking soling to getore blades? 5 or 6 days should get things delivered almost anywhere in the world. Do you have a clue why such a long time for you. Maybe you need to have a tracer put on the blades. I had a piece list in the mail to Germany but it did show up about three months later

there you go.. an easy scroll job.. looks good. I am going to be making some names too this weekend for a couple of kids that will be staying with us. They are doing a singing tour and are from Ethiopia and India.. Dick heppnerguy

a beautiful cross. It will be cherished and bring a tear, every time a family of loved one passes it by Dick heppnerguy

WONDERFULLY DONE Dick heppnerguy

That is a truly fine one you cut here, I love the old building patterns. Thanks for post yet another of your masterpieces. A real pleasure to feast my eyes upon Dick heppnerguy

I agree with everyone else. Feels good to take on a new endeavor only to find out that you succeeded in doing it so well. Now it is off to the world of creating your own patterns and soon you will be getting more pattern requests, just wait and see. Dick heppnerguy

Paul, If you started a box, I would not expect it to be anything but a lot of fret work involved.. I am going to sit down before I open the post on that box. good luck, pal. I bet t will be a thing to behold Dick

Marg, Those are great pieces. I like that you are sticking to your (sort of New Years resolutions). I can't wait to see where you are going with this new found art. I will also be sending you an really easy intarsia pattern so you can make your first piece of intarsia. I am excited to be a part of that effort Dick heppnerguy

that does look pretty amazing alright. Can't wait to see what you do with it.. Dick heppnerguy

That a boy, Paul. I can be done with an offset table so that is just automatically become and relief part but either way it works great. I like it a lot and I like your originality on this piece too. Good one.. how was the ice fishing trip ? Dick heppnerguy

a couple of winners for you and the people who ordered them. Feels good to be able to make something with your own hands that others are so happy to pay for.. Way to go Keith Dick heppnerguy

Very nicely done wooden portrait. This is a great job making and cutting patterns Dick Heppnerguy

q I was doing intarsia for about 3 years and replacing parts on my saw on a regular basis. One day I was looking on line at scroll saws and I found a really good deal on a DeWalt just before I went to bed. The sight said it would only be offered for 12 more hours. I mentioned it to my wife as I crawled into bed. She asked me if it was the saw I really wanted. I said yes but it was a little speedy to buy ' just for myself'. She said BUY IT IF YOU WANT IT. I couldn't believe it. First thing in the morning I got on line and the offer was over. I had wished I would have purchased it the night before. I went all over the internet searching for a similar deal. And low and behold I found a deal at a furniture store sight. They sold no other tools. I called them to find out if it was a refurbished one or a new one. It was new and shipping was included. So I got my new saw for only $259 total price. So if it was not for my wife I would still be buying replacement parts for my cheap saw. THANK YOU, MY BRIDE FOR YOUR FAITH IN ME AND ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT THROUGHOUT ALL THESE MANY 50 PLUS YEARS , LOVE YOU DICK HEPPNERGUY

I just noticed that the feet look a little goofy but it is the material it is laying on that blends in with the feet and looks a little crazy Dick heppnerguy Oh thanks Bob

A little while back my cousin sent me an email and asked me to make her a couple of sea gulls for her wall. I asked if anyone knew of a pattern and someone pointed out that there was one in a Judy Gale Roberts book, which I just happen to own. so I looked it up and made a couple for her with the instructions that she NOT pay me for them because I enjoy making things for family if they are for person use. She sent me $75 for them. I really did not like the pattern very well but it was all that I could find. So as I was going through the internet I found a pattern that I had in mind and I made that for her yesterday and I will be sending it to her this afternoon. I did not have the wood that I really wanted to use but I usually use what ever is on my wood rack unless it is something that I am making for someone and the price I am charging is worthy of the extra cost to me. I try to sell my things cheap enough that anyone could afford to purchase the item at the lowest price I can offer it for. So here is the photo of the latest piece I am mailing her today. If I was making it again, I would make the eye smaller. Dick heppnerguy

Welcome to The Village. I have not viewed your gallery, but I will in a few minutes. I hope you make it a habit to log on very often. You will find that this is a great site filled with wonderful caring people from all over our planet. I hope you find the time to scroll often too. there are a lot of free patterns to cut here and they are yours for the taking. Dick heppnerguy

Oh i have never been to the UK but I have traveled a little in Germany and France and the transportation there is wonderful. However 100 miles is not very far. I traveled more than that to meet up with all of the guys that i have met from the village. but to me, it is a short distance for the rewards of meeting these wonderful guys.. put the word out and arrange something during the warmer time there. I assure you that you will be very glad you did. I live so remotely here in Heppner that I have to travel 65 miles just to go to the movies. Have everyone meet somewhere in your area.. After all, a little sight seeing makes the whole idea even more appealing. I bet you would be surprised at how many people would be interested in making the trip. Give it a go Dick heppnerguy

Roly, I don't know how far it is for all you folks in the UK to get together but with all the great public transportation there, I would thing a weekend get together would result is a really fun time for everyone involved. i bet that if you were to pick a summer date and suggest this, you would get quite a few interested people. Try it.. I can assure you it would be much more beneficial than teh same time spent for a craft show... Dick heppnerguy
