Just search "circus" at Steve Good's pattern catalog.

I printed the elephant pattern at 45% with the Adobie reader. I think it is a little too small, maybe 55% or 60% would be better. It was hard to tell what it would look like until I actually got it put together.

Great looking box! Nice finish also. She is going to be a happy Valentine!

Very good job! Really cute.

Got my Circus Train done. What a project. It was fun to cut the parts and put it all together, but like others, I do not know what to do with it now. It takes of a lot of space. If I made another I think I will make it at 70% or less. I added the extra par of horses because I think it looks better, thanks @rdatelle, for the idea. I did two other things different. I made the body pieces of the driver, horses and elephants out of 1/4" instead of 1/8". Just to give then a little more heft and I could cover the tabs on the horses sides. Not sure it was worth it, but I did it anyway. I also had to add the baby elephant. Like the extra pair of horses, it just seemed better with a baby elephant tagging after it's mamma. I also use very little CA glue, most things are glued together or in place with the Titebond Quick and Thick. Slowed me down a bit but I really don't like working with CA glue very much..

It's awful to get old a forget things,,,, isn't it Dick?? Where dee picture??

Really great looking. I got to ask, do people actually pull napkins out to use off one of those or are they for looks only? If they do pull a napkin out, do they easily come out or will the holder slide or fall over it they do not hold it?

Very well done Jeff. Great scene, and great cutting.
-
NICE!

Great scrolling!

Fuzzy fellow! great scrolling job.

Oh, that is soooo me!!

RJ is correct. I always enjoy seeing what you have done, and I always makes me want to branch out and try harder. Thank you. This piece is beautiful!
-
Nice job Don! What did you stain (?) it with to get that nice color? Looks almost like a nice piece of Pink Heart wood.
-
My problem with Ocooch wood is every piece I have bought that is less than 1/2" thick, cups quickly after unwrapping. I stack as I should and after I take a piece out it starts cupping. I dampen it on the inside of the cup as they say, weight it to let it dry and as I am using it it will cup again. So I don't know how to keep it from cupping other than to cut it in stripes and glue it back together with the grain reversed on every other stripe.

Ha, thanks, it must be. I just took it upstairs and asked my wife what she used it for.... she says she has never seen one before in her life and what am I talking about. I guess I have no idea where I got it, but it is a handy item.

Les, maybe you already do this, if not give it a try, sharpen the top end of the blades. I quickly grind the ends of every blade to a sharp point, then I have a little tool like an ice pick with out a big handle that I stick into each hole on the back side of the piece and twist it a little, kinda like counter sink it. Makes it much easier to thread the blade through. I thread 2/0 size blades through holes drilled with a bit as small as a #70 often. This is the little tool I use, I don't know what it is called. It was my wife's, she used it on her job when she worked for the phone company as a frame tech. I think that was 35 years a go! An ice pick would work as well.

Yep, you cut those lines.

A mac is a computer and like a Hegner, I keeps on working while you are trying to get you Windows PC to....

Well! What is #1!! Inquiring minds want to know!
-
I will never remember!!

No, I have not seen it. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie, unless it is on Netflex. I have not made frames other than ones with 90' corners, but I will this year. I am going to try to learn some different types of scrolling, different for me anyway, and the pictures will be built within the frames. The frames will be different shapes, hexagon and octagon. I did use the jig with wedges and stops to cut the pieces for this quilt pattern piece I made for my wife.

Great job! I'm a big rodeo fan. Only one I would want to add is a bull rider.
