  1. Cool, I have to give the award to the dragon, just because I love dragons... Both are very well done.
  2. Looks nice. And, thank you for being so generous with all your patterns....
  3. Some very nice work!!
  4. If your work sells like my work,,,, one would be more than sufficient.
  5. You really do all kinds of things.... I need to expand my horizons, stretch myself, instead of just scratching myself, and do it also... Nice work.
  6. Neither! At my age,,,, I see my future look!!!
  7. Well I have lots of corn cobs in my freezer....... I'm in good shape. Just thaw some out, have corn on the cob for dinner and you are set.
  8. I've been a husband so darn long, I can't help but being use to being lectured!
  9. Thanks, Travis,,,, let this be a political free place.... Some where to get away from it all!!!!
  10. Dick, you are pumping out some real beauties lately. Nice work.
  11. The medic, never met one in the service that was not a true hero....no matter the service branch they were in.... Nice plaque.
  12. My Fein hose has a built in relieve value like that. I wasn't using it on my dust collection, but now I am. I just wish they sold something like that in 5' or so lengths. I have to buy it and than cut it up.....
  13. Never heard them called that before.... pretty cute.
  14. Jim , I am very familiar, with your beautiful work. I think I have learned fretwork,,, which doesn't sell, one of these day I will try inlay. Been saying that for two years now....
  15. Yep. sometimes I am dumber than wood!!
  16. Thanks for the comments. I am fine with it and it is sitting in case I want to go at again sometime down the road. Already well into another project...
  17. Thanks, for not being offended by my post. I have been working on my scroll saw dust collection quit a bit lately trying to improve it and it just made ms think, how much time we spend on that. And thanks, the Wen is the one I have been looking at...
  18. Why did I put this in the "Bragging Rights" section? Well we all have, I think, had a failure or two along the adventure of scrolling... I have had more than a few and always chalked it up to learning or "that's life" and gone on.. This is a total failure on my part, and bragging because it is my biggest so far in my life as a scrollperson.... I wrote "scroller" but could not decided if that was sexist, or not, so I changed it. I started this project after seeing the completed ones Heppnerguy and rdatelle posted. They were beautiful and well done. I wanted to do one in prep for a finescrollsaw clock I have wanted to do for several years. Smart guy me, decided that I would do it in Cherry Wood. Long story, short, after around 8 weeks of hard work, I declared a failure and quit. The scrolling part was not real difficult, and the type I love doing. The putting it together was my down fall. This is 1/4" and 1/8" cherry with detailed scrolling in it. I never realized how fragile, (ha, every time I type the word "fragile" I think of "The Christmas Story" on TV.) it would be. Every time I tried to glue parts together, I would break a part somewhere... every time!! There are at least 15 repaired or re-cut parts on this clock. The last one, the back leg, that I tried to put a screw through, that was pre-drilled and countersunk, split in half,,, I said, for the sake of my sanity , enough is enough, life, for me, is two short, I quit! Oh, even when I ordered the clock movement of it,,,,, they sent the wrong one, seemed like an omen to me... So, it sits on the floor in my family/computer/wife won't allow me in the livingroom, room. Waiting for the spring wiener roast, I think, would be appropiate. Ahh., thanks, I confessed, got it off my chest and can move on.
  19. I looked at this and had to smile. Please done not take this personally, this is just something that hit me. Nothing wrong with what you are doing, in fact it looks good. But, I smile at the different tubes, pipes, vacuums, hoses, blowers, suckers, flex lines, etc., we go through to try to contain that darn dust. I have two saws and they are beginning to look like space machines or something with all the paraphernalia I kept trying, moving, resizing, re-inventing, adjusting, hooking up, to get rid of that darn dust. I think I enjoy the hunt as much as scrolling...... Now I am looking at air filtration, like a ceiling mounted one... Keep at it, and if you see a low cost space suit for sell let me know, I way be interested...
  20. That is really neat! Nice work. She and her baby will love it!..
  21. It should be explained in your owners manual. Least it did in mine when I owned an Excalibur. I think there are some Youtube video explaining it also. People do it to reduce vibration. There are people on here that have done it, I never did, so they can give more info...
  22. Very nice work. Hope you join in some more.
  23. I believe the Flying Dutchman 3/0 spiral is a little smaller then the Pegas 2/0. It is what I use for veining and really small areas. Great job on cutting BB. I Can't imagine cutting it that small. Very nice work.
  24. Well done. The friend will be happy.
