    Thanks Marg for you kind comments. I thought it was too cute to let it ride any longer. Dick heppnerguy

    it looked way to fun to not cut it. I like Sam's patterns. He always does such a great job and they are usually easy cuts like this one. Dick heppnerguy

    It was just such a cute pattern that I had to cut it eventually. Not sure what to do with it at this time but probably one of my great grandkids will like it. Thanks for your kind comments Dick heppnerguy

    Happy to have you on board here. Welcome from Southern Arizona. Most scrollers stay away from the spiral blade as they find it difficult to use. How ever, It is like anything else, all it takes it practice and before long you should be quite comfortable with them. Be sure and ask any scroll saw question you may have and you will probably get a large number of replies from those so willing to share their knowledge and experience with you. Dick heppnerguy

    Glad to see you came on board here in The Village. Make yourself at home and continue posting some of your beautiful work in the 'bragging rights' forum. A big welcome from Southern Arizona. Hope to see you here often Dick heppnerguy

    Today's post is a pattern that I have had for quite some time and I fell in love with it when I first saw it. This cute little project's pattern was made by Sam Custodio and had me hooked from the get go. It seems that I forget about it way too often and a couple of days ago I spotted it and had nothing pressing in my 'to do list' so I printed the pattern and took it to my shop. I only had about a half dozen small cuts left to have it all cut out, so I jumped on it this morning and finished it. I decided a quick and easy frame would be better than the over lapping backer board that I often do, so I found a piece of scrap wood that I thought might do the trick and made a glue on frame and used a piece of black poster board and threw on a coat of spray finish and it is ready to hang on my shop wall. I cut it from 1/4 lnch BB Ply and used a #3 Pegas MGT blade. Dick heppnerguy

    I was so happy to have the backer board on hand. It was too narrow but I had enough length that I cut it in half and then was able to glue the two sides together, making it wide enough to make it work. Thanks for the nice comments. I do appreciate you taking your time to post them. Dick heppnerguy

    I really like both of these projects. Very nicely done. Dick heppnerguy

    STOP. You are torturing me with all your well made cute gnomes, as I have yet to cut one. I am afraid if I do, I will be hooked on them and I have so many patterns that I wish to cut already.. Dick heppnerguy

    Now there is a project I would never even dreamed about making. Great idea. Dick heppnerguy

    You are so lucky to have a wife that has many interests. Must keep you busy in your lower level shop. Dick

    I thank you, kind soul. I know I will never reach your level of craftsmanship but I am trying to do as good as I can, in my projects. I can't do any more than that. Dick Heppnerguy
  16. heppnerguy
    Well thank you sir. It is nothing compared to your fantastic projects but for me......I am happy with it. Now if my granddaughter and her husband like it, then all is good. Dick heppnerguy

    Thank you. I thought it was a good contrast too. It should look pretty good, should they choose to hang it on their new home. Dick heppnerguy

    thank you so much. It feels good when someone takes their time to write a comment on my work. So nice of you to do so. Dick heppnerguy

    Thank you Ron. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did making it. I am happy with the end results myself. Dick heppnerguy

    Thank you Marg. It was good to have a purpose for my shop time. I was happy to find I had some wood that I also enjoyed cutting it from. The wood was given to me from my son who owns a garage door company and had just built a special order door from him that was sent to Hawaii. He often will offer me some left over wood if I want it.

    Thank you so much for taking your time to compliment me on my project. I appreciate that a lot Dick heppnerguy

    Thanks Gene. I hope they like it enough to display it. It was an interesting one for me to make. Still trying to learn a little bit more about finish work. Dick heppnerguy

    It was fun to attend the gatherings and meet you and some other woodworkers also. Thanks for letting me know about the meeting Dick heppnerguy

    What a nice project. I love how you painted it using the different blends to give it so much realism. Love it Dick heppnerguy

    My Granddaughter and her husband are in the process of moving into their brand new home so I thought they might like to have a name plaque by their front door to greet visitors. It is also only about a week away from their 20 anniversary so I added their marriage year to it also. I copied the idea for it from something I saw on line. I used a #3 Pegas MGT blade and cut it into what I believe to be Mahogany 3/4 inch base. All of the like colored wood I received from my son and I am not sure of the species of it. I mailed it out this morning so I will not get a response for a few days. Dick heppnerguy
