  1. Well. I showed my wife when she returned from her quilting retreat. She said good, now you have to make 6 more for family members. I had to order more BB today.
  2. Good a lot of us have those lights. Good to make sure they are not where the sunlight will hit them. Thanks for the reminder.
  3. Painted. Thanks
  4. It is pretty fun to do, and with some minor filing it all fit together and the secret to open it works well. I had a lot of fun with it. Now I have to wait almost two months to give them to the young ladies. Hope I don't forget to do it.
  5. I actually finished a project while Momma was away for the week. My neighbor has two young granddaughters, that visit them often. I love to make them something when I find something I think they will enjoy. When I saw @alexfox's spooky candy box I had to make them each one. They are both the same. I added a skeleton to the inside bottom. Not part of the plans but saw the pattern for the little guy and thought he belonged in the box. The eyes on the cat are green but didn't show up well in the picture.
  6. I agree 100%!
  7. I really do not want to go smaller than what I have now.
  8. You ask: why does one need more than one scrollsaw? Right now I am wishing I had two again. And I promise, momma, if I can have a second one I will never sell it! I always have more than one project going. Right now I have two. One requires inlay. But I can not work on it because once I set a saw for the depth of inlay I want it can not be moved to a different degree of tilt. You would never get perfectly back to the degree of the original set. So before I can continue in the project requiring an inlay, I have to wait until the paint and glue tries on another project. If I had two saws I could keep on working. When I find the right deal, I will have a second saw again. Plus it is nice to have two or more saw so you do not have to change the size or type of blade so often. You can just move back and forth between saws.
  9. Congratulations, Barb. You did an awesome job on your piece.
  10. Oh Ya! Great picture!
  11. My wife gave me a Craftsman, for Christmas soon after we were married. I had it for years, but seldom used it. You had to have a special tool and get down on your knees to put a blade in the bottom clamp. When I decided I wanted to do more scrolling I gave the craftsman to my daughter and I purchased a refurbished DeWalt. Major step up over the craftsman. My daughter did not use the saw, so she gave it to a neighbor. A few weeks laster she saw it in his garbage can where it really belonged.
  12. Welcome to the village. If you go from a DeWalt to a Pegas, you will have no regrets. It is a pleasant step up from the DeWalt. I went from a DeWalt to an Excalibur (same type saw as the Pegas) It was a very rewarding transition for me.

  14. Also, as a line pattern, I can see you would save some ink!
  15. I have not seen that pattern before. It is great of you to do this. I just completed three more military emblems to give to veterans.
  16. Ha! I could run like that easily for several days if I saw a snake in the path!
  17. Do you want to make a box or scroll a picture of one?
  18. Very nicely done and very nice of you. It should help inspire them.
  19. Welcome to the forum. Very nice work you are showing. Glad to have you join us.
  20. Very nice cutting. Great looking piece.
  21. Great job. I have made a few of those types of pieces. They are always a joy to see when done. Puts a person in the mood for the Christmas Season.
  22. Very well done. Someone on here was looking for a Christmas tree topper. That would make a great one with a light shining on it.
