    Nice clean, well organized and equipped. I also like the way you placed everything. Looks great. Dick heppnerguy

    good pattern, very well made and with a great message. We need to try to be sure this right is not taken away. This is a good reminder of that. Dick heppnerguy

    I have seen this pattern but I like yours better than the one pictured for the sale of the pattern. I have a person whom I already know I am going to get the pattern to make it too. Great job, you enthused me with it. Dick heppnerguy

    I love it when I find someone in an occupation where I can make an appreciation plaque for them. Great idea and such a memorable reward for their achievement from you Dick heppnerguy

    I like the addition of the clocks to these puzzles. Where can I buy these patterns? Dick heppnerguy

    Nice puzzles. I have 4 new great grands that are going on two this summer. You video makes made me decide to make some puzzles for them for Christmas next year. I can see the delight in the expressions of the sweet little girl in the video. Enjoyed the video a lot too. Dick heppnerguy

    Again very nice projects as always. I also like the MT Rushmore and have made a couple of them but I like the pattern you made better then the one I have used. Is that your pattern and is there some place I can get that one? Dick heppnerguy

    He will be so excited when he see the frogs, he probably won't be very interested in eating your good dinner you will be making Dick heppnerguy

    I love those signs. I get quite a few requests for them. they are so easy to make patterns for and fun to cut. I like the way they look very much. I live in Southern Arizona and the morning get quite cool also. Most days are in the middle 60's to low 70's here right now. should start getting warmer by the end of the month. Dick heppnerguy

    Good tip. I have also been skeptic about using packing tape. After reading your comments, I will keep it in mind and try using it when it seems I have the need for it Dick heppnerguy
  11. heppnerguy
    oh yes. I thought you were saying you use a vice to hold the boards together when you stack cut. This vice I have made also and use it for my 3 dimensional cuts. they are a great asset. I made both sizes of them. Thanks for the explanation. Dick heppnerguy

    I thought about painting the blue but sometimes paint seems to follow the grain, especially in BB so I opted out of that idea. I probably will cut another one before too much longer and perhaps I will give that a try. Dick heppnerguy
  13. heppnerguy
    Ike, what and how can you use a vice on your patterns when cutting them? I am completely confused by what you say. Can you please explain this or show a photo of what you are talking about? Dick heppnerguy
  14. heppnerguy
    I did not know this. I tried packing tape a couple of times and found it to be a problem with it catching the saw dust and making the cutting lines difficult or impossible to see. Thanks for the tip. If I ever feel a need to try this idea again, I will definitely keep this in mind. Dick heppnerguy

    Clear packing tape has a really good sticking effect but don't you find it will remove some of the wood fiber if used on BB Ply? Just wondering as that is the problem I see in this method. On a hard wood I do not see this to be a problem. Dick heppnerguy
  16. heppnerguy
    I have found with BB Ply that the blue painters tape sometimes tears some of the wood fibers off when removing it. I do not have the problem with that when I put the pattern directly onto the wood. Giving the glue a minute or so to set after applying Mineral Spirits results in a pattern fall off in its entirety and not leaving any residue behind. The residue that is left is usually just because it did not have the time to diminish or the spray was put on too thick in the first place. I often will feel the wood after i remove the pattern in this way and if there is any residue, I dampen a rag or paper towel and rub it over that part and the left over residue is gone. Only downside I see doing it this way is one has to give it a little time to dry before any paint or finish is applied. Just me experience. Not that I am right or wrong, just my take on this subject . Dick heppnerguy

    I also use blue painters tape when i stack cut, which is something I rarely do, and next time I am going to try the hot glue idea and see how I like it. Ideas we have not heard about or perhaps failed to try, give us an opportunity to find something that works even better when we reach out and experiment with them. Dick heppnerguy

    I have to totally agree. That is the one thing I have learned over the years I have been scrolling. Everyone has a some knowledge that we ourselves have not. If one is closed to others ideas, he will find themselves in a stuck position. I have learned most of the knowledge about scrolling I have today is because of posts others have made. Some I find do not work well for me or I just like what I am already doing so I do not change. However, that said, I try to keep my ears and mind open so I do not miss an opportunity to learn. Dick heppnerguy
  19. heppnerguy
    I am the same way. You never learn anything new from the words a person speaks themselves but it is the listening to others where one learns something new. Everyone has some knowledge to share if only the other shuts his or her mouth and opens their ears. I had a person make a remark to me when I tried to give him a compliment. I said to him, "You seem to have a lot of knowledge". His reply to me was, "I have forgotten more then you'll ever know". I bet he doesn't learn much from others. Dick heppnerguy

    No the stars went really quickly. It was just a lot of turning but the piece I was cutting was only 12 X 12 in. so I had plenty of space to cut turn it. I thought at first I might have to use a spiral on them but it was easiest to just use the flat blade. If you like it, give it a try. Dick heppnerguy

    When I saw this pattern by Kenny Hopkins I knew it was a must cut. I am just starting to try to learn to make frames so I hope to have some good improvements with them as I go a long. I will try to make a frame for all my future cuts so some day they will hopefully be much better. I cut this one with Pegas #2 MG blades on 1/4 inch BB PLY. I am pretty satisfied with the end results. Dick heppnerguy

    I also love Jim Blume patterns and plan to cut some soon. You did a great job on both of these and congratulations on giving the spiral blades a go. So many either refuse to give them a shot or did not like what happened when they did and refuse to give them another try. Practice makes perfect. a little time and soon one will get the feel of of them. Dick heppnerguy

    I love the wood portrait idea in scrolling. it is one thing that I really have wanted to master but never seem to take the time to learn it. Will check out the sight and see if it is something I would like to pursue. I love how good it looks on the wood and it is really easy to tell who it is Dick heppnerguy
  24. heppnerguy
    great skillfully made project. Look really good. I love that you are donating it to animal rescue. It will be a big hit. I bet it receives a ton of talk. Dick heppnerguy

    so happy you got things worked out for you. This new electronic world is often rather confusing for a lot of us. like the joke..'.Grampa,' said the 10 year old who was helping his grandfather with his first cell phone,' if you were 12 years old, it would be a whole lot easier to teach this to you.'
