    Very Nice! It will be appreciated.

    They are neat birds. We have a few of them here on the West Coast, don't see them often, but they are here. I had one fly into my front room window once. Knocked him out. I went out, picked it up, and placed it on my deck railing. It sat there for over half an hour, then it was able to fly to a nearby tree, sit for a while, more then flew off.

    Very nice, Looks like you have it figured out. Well done.

    Watched an old episode of Johnny Carson yesterday. The guest was a slow-talking country gentleman from Arkansas who sold jewelry made with Quail droppings. I called Johnny "MR. Carson" because he was raised to address any man senior to him with "Mr.", a sign of respect. So, like it or not, you are a tiny bit older than me. Just showing respect!

    Yep, the release lever had to be designed by an engineer that have never used a scroll saw. They could have designed it so that when the arm goes up, it catches and stays up until you take the arm, raise it just a notch, release the catch, and you can lower the arm. The method used on the Excalibor I had was worrisome to me. A little ball bearing riding on a strip of metal. If you adjusted it too tightly, you could wear a deep groove in the strip of metal, and it was not a replaceable part. I was warned about that by Seyco when I purchased it from them. Search on this forum. There are other Bauer owners that have made devises to help with that release.

    The animals I did were cut in 1/8" thick, and they are a little over 1" tall. Which can be resized if needed. Of course, the simpler the cut, the smaller it can be. This is a large bowl. But the concept is very doable. I would be tempted to fill in over the insets with clear epoxy. He did not, and really, no need. Just something I thought could be done.

    I helped a turner friend make a bowl, I did the scroll saw work. This is a segmented bowl, and much larger, but it might give you an idea.

    I want to try the candle holder. That is really nice. Can you point me to the video? I guess I can search it out. He has a ton of videos. Never mind, found it , that was easy. Now to see if I have that magazine. Very nice work, Mr. Walters!

    Not a whole lot, popular is pretty easy cutting, at least this piece was. I cut all the leaf veins and such with a straight #2 Pegas skip, then went over them with a 2/0 Pegas spiral.

    I finished cutting this in late February, I believe. Been sitting on my table saw waiting for me to decide what to do with it. Nothing yet. I want to do something with it. It is cut in. 1/2" popular wood, A Finoa Kingdon pattern. I really enjoyed cutting, as I do all of her patterns, I have used.

    Welcome to the village, Thanks for caring for the Bees. When I am mowing my yard, I brake for the bees.

    Great job, Al. Many hours of play for the little one.

    Very nice work. That rocking horse may go through bothers and sisters, cousins, etc. Mine did over the years, he is over 79 years old and still pastured at my daughter's, wait'n for maybe some great-grandchildren riders.

    Like them!
  16. Scrappile
    I agree, those are great, you need to move to something more challenging. Nice work.
  17. Scrappile
    You did that proud. I love the picture, I have that pattern and hope to do it, someday. I also agree on the frame. Very nice.
  18. Scrappile
    That is a great piece. I love seeing your carved pieces. Got one I want to try some carving on. Probably will make a mess of it, but for me it is only a hobby done for fun. I am anxious to see the rest of you the pieces you are working on.

    Very nice, Denny. Those will be popular, in Tennessee.
  20. Scrappile
    That is great!
  21. Scrappile
    Thanks for the info. Probable should check mine out. Doubt that any maintenance has ever been done to it other than me waxing the table to a few times.

    I pick up boxes and stuffed envelopes several times a week at the post office from Missouri Star.

    Well, the material is easier to store than baskets! My wife was into Londonberger Baskets once, became a seller, went to conventions, and made a trip to visit where they made them. I remember once when my daughter and her husband came for a visit. He is in the bathroom, and yells out, "Oh my God there are 17 baskets in the little bathroom!"

    It is a "Sickness"! Should be a quilters anonymous assoc. With weekly meetings.

    Al. Throw some scrollsaw magazines in your car to read. So when you are sitting in your car waiting while she goes in and looks through one more quilting store you just passed. Believe me, I know! Oh, and start building shelves to store boxes full of material and patterns. Believe me I know!!
