I don't know how you knew I was lacking in a little cutting confidence but your comments gave me just the boost I needed, but lets not forget that I do what I do because of the encouragement from the more experienced scrollers like yourself, thank you.
very nice design, I have a couple of friends who are into rugby, would you mind if I modified your design a little for my own use, they would make lovely presents.
From finding a picture to making a pattern and cutting it = 4.5 hours. This is a request for a singer called 'Example' and after all that time I still don't know who he is, I must be getting old...
Just when I thought I could relax I get two more Christmas orders, Betty Boop and a pop singer called 'Example' (never heard of him) needed by the end of day tomorrow. Anyone else out there ever heard of a singer called Example, its definitely a new one for me...
The last of my Christmas orders, and all for one customer, kept me out from under my wife's feet for a couple of days. (box ribbon taken from a Steve Good pattern), made from Redwood, Beech and Balsa using an Olsen double tooth.
