    I think enough to make it a little more interesting. Thank you for your comment Dick heppnerguy

    I got started on some tuck ins for family members. This is a Sue Mey pattern that I thought would make a nice small add on gift for family members this year. I cut this on 1/4 inch bambo, using a #1 Pegas spiral blade. The come in several different internal parts and this is the one I will be be gifting for family members that do not have young kids any longer. When I finish this one I will cut a different one for those that do have young children and I will post that one in a couple of days from now. I will have some where in the neighborhood of approximately maybe 20 to cut all together. Looks like I will be buying more of these blades soon as I only have about a dozen left, I believe.

    I had fun trying my air brush and learned a little from this effort. The leg holes blew all over the place and I lost a couple of pieces. thank you for your pattern use. Sorry I was unable to do a better job. I hope to keep using my AB so I can do a much better job in the future. Dick heppneguy

    I didn't even come close to Franks talented work but I am happy that I did cut it. Dick heppnerguy

    "When I saw Frank's turtle pattern he made I had to ask him if it was ok to make one also. He said it was and sent me the pattern. When I saw this one I knew right away that I would have to make one, if only to hang in my shop to get some smiles. Because this was not for anyone particular, I decided I did not need to cut every detail so I choose to just cut the accent circles on the legs and not bother to try and paint all of them. I also decided I would cut the eyes without the whites but I definitely would put those in the eyes as I realized it added so much to the final project. So thank you Frank for letting my give this a try. As you can see I am still attempting to use my air brush. A long way to go but at least I am trying to learn Dick heppnerguy

    I thought for a moment about m a king one for our kitchen but then I rethought it because I would probably be the first and only one to actually die from a meal served from our kitchen. You might feed your food to your dog before you eat any just to be sure it is still safe Dick heppnerguy

    Nicely done. A definite eye catcher too. I too thank your husband for his service Dick heppnerguy

    that was one of my thoughts also. Dick heppnerguy

    actually the framing went quite well for me as I usually struggle a lot with making a frame. Maybe just maybe I am starting to catch on to making them in my old age. I guess my next attempt will tell the story. Thanks for you nice response to my project Dick heppnerguy

    I have to say, I have a lot of respect for you and your using a hand powered saw. I guess it is a little bit like most scrollers give up on first of second try with a spiral blade but with a little time spent with a spiral, it becomes a go to blade in a lot of cases. So not giving up and taking time to learn to use a hand powered scroll saw all depends on how much one wishes to learn to use one. That is what I get from what you are telling me and I can testify the same with using a spiral. I still respect you as 'over the top' scroller. Dick heppnerguy

    a lot of cutting and gluing in this project. Well done. Dick heppnerguy

    a very thought out and thoughtful project for your grandchild. Nicely done also Dick heppnerguy
  16. heppnerguy
    this is a very interesting and imaginative project. I can't even imagine trying to cut something like this without a scroll saw. You are amazing to say the least. Dick heppnerguy

    Steve Good helped to start my interest in scrolling as I always imagined scrolling to be a simple outline of a heart or cat and I found that to be boring. I stumbled on to his facebook and have been enjoying it every since. Dick heppnerguy

    Thanks for the nice comment. It was not a really difficult project as much as it was perfect for my granddaughter because she has always been fascinated with giraffes. Dick heppnerguy

    Thank you so much for the nice comments. I appreciate that you take you time to do this. Dick heppnerguy

    Thank you. I don't need to tell you, it is not a particularly difficult project but I made it for a couple of reasons. One, I have enjoyed the pattern since I first saw it and I have never gotten around to cutting it and two, It fits right in to what my granddaughter loves and that being giraffes. Dick heppnerguy
  21. heppnerguy
    Thanks Paul. I hope that she will. Not especially difficult. More to hitting on what she likes in her life. Dick heppnerguy

    That was what I too saw in the Botus pattern. I have been wanting to cut it for quite awhile. Can't wait to see what my granddaughter has to say when she receives it. Dick heppnerguy
  23. heppnerguy
    I have a granddaughter who has a thing for giraffes so I have made her several different ones during her growing up years. I ran across this Botus pattern that I have had for some time and never got around to cutting it. Her birthday is about 2 weeks away and I know she will like it so I got busy and cut it for her. It is ready to be mailed in a few days Dick heppnerguy
