  1. Very cool project (pun not intended. I love all the wonderful colors that are in it along with the wonderful meaning it has for you. Beautiful work on your part too Dick heppnerguy
  2. Actually I do not think it possible for me to pick one over the other as I find them both very attractive crosses. Dick heppnerguy
  3. Very creative. This will be a treasured piece for the receiver of it. Not only because you made it for him but also because for you and him, it carries a lot of sentimental value too. Dick heppnerguy
  4. I will have to say, "And perhaps like me, you never will. Dick heppnerguy
  5. Guess what???? You are as wrong as I was when I made it. The wife said she did not care for my color choices.. I guess that means it becomes another piece on my shop wall. Dick heppnerguy
  6. thank you Bob. I liked it myself. Not so much my wife. Will be cutting another one soon and let her pick the color next time. Dick heppnerguy
  7. I wish my wife would see it that way too. Her tastes and mine do not always match.. This is one of those times. No big deal as it is not up to me to predict what she likes and doesn't like, it is only mine to ask and since she is away now, I had to take a chance on it. Not right this time. Dick heppnerguy
  8. Sharon is away in Oregon until the middle of July. I guess I will just cut another and when she gets home again, I will let her pick the colors she likes. Dick heppnerguy
  9. Denny I rattle can from Wal Mart. It dries fast and is inexpensive too. Dick heppnerguy
  10. She said she likes the pattern but not the color. Sometimes when you think you have made some brownie points, you quickly learn, you have not Dick heppnerguy
  11. We have been in love for about 66 years. It only gets better with time. Dick heppnerguy
  12. Well perhaps you and I like the colors but the little lady expressed otherwise. I guess I am going to have to make another and cut it after she gets back home. Dick heppnerguy
  13. I know she loves me, as we are still happily together after more than 61 years married. I have to say I still can not understand how she could possibly want to be with me all these years. I found out yesterday that she was not too excited about the cross as the colors I choose did not agree with her tastes. Dick heppnerguy
  14. That is one book I do not have. I must have seen a project someone else cut somewhere else. Thanks for the info Dick heppnerguy
  15. I am not a real fan of wooden toys so I have stayed away from them. Once I made a model that had some realism in to them, I found I did like wooden toys. Because the wooden toys do not excite me is just my own problem, as i found out, the little ones love them. I guess I had best stop making my own judgements and look at the real picture. I tend to stay away from projects that do not interest me and have found our through the years that what I, personally, don't care for, a lot of others do. I have to say that you wood toys here are really cute and I am sure they will become Liam's favorite toys as he continues to grow up Dick heppnerguy
  16. I liked the colors but the wife did not. Going to have to cut another, I guess Dick heppnerguy
  17. guess what. She liked the pattern but not the color I choose. That means I am going to have to cut another if I am going to get her to like one. Dick heppnerguy
  18. I saw this cross posted on Etsy and saved a photo of it to my pictures about 3 or 4 months ago. I finally found the time to make it and I could not find the piece again to see about buying the pattern so I just made a pattern from it. The one I saw was made with different colors of wood inset that was so beautiful but as I got into it I began to realize it was going to be more than I was willing to try so just cut out the skeleton pattern I had made and call it good. I thought it was so pretty the was it was in the photo I downloaded but since I turned away from what I really intended to do, I found I still liked it the way it turned out. I just hope when my wife returns home the middle of July, she too will like it. Dick heppnerguy
  19. A funny thing happened this past week. We have 3 great grandkids born within a couple of months apart. 2 boys and one girl. The little girl had the first party last Saturday and after the party she watched my wife wrapping presents for the next boy to have his party. My wife was wrapping the red car I posted and when the little girl saw it, asked if it was for her. She really wanted it and at the little cousins birthday she played with the little car again. My wife convinced me to make her one also and I will be mailing hers tomorrow. I painted hers blue. Dick heppnerguy
  20. sounds good. I think I probably have whatever book it is in as I have seen this pattern somewhere. Dick heppnerguy
  21. I would enjoy seeing how this is done as I am in the dark and I don't adventure too many new things on my own. Let's set a date. I would time to make something to try it on first though. Great Idea. Let me know what you think. Dick heppnerguy
  22. wow, your grandson's pieces will be sought after by time he get older but I bet he won't let then go for any price. Dick heppnerguy
  23. Very attractive projects. Your color choices are perfect for them Dick heppnerguy
  24. if getting older one makes bird houses, then I should have an entire neighborhood of them by now. Dick heppnerguy
  25. I want to learn epoxy also but haven't gotten up the nerve yet. Good for you to 'go for it'. projects look great Dick heppnerguy
