  1. I would have put the bird houses also, but I have never sold one, my wife and daughter swipe them as quickly as they are made... Last time my daughter even stole the little tree I hung them on..
  2. You really did a great job on it all. I did the sleigh many years ago as one of my first Christmas patterns.. I have the patter for the reindeer, but have never got to them mainly because so much to store.
  3. Very nice scrolling!
  4. That is pretty cool. You sure that is not a real crab?
  5. @dgmangives great advice here. One of my main problems when I buy wood is having it cup.. the thinner the more it occurs. I have been doing as Dan describes and it helps a lot. I have tried many of the methods found on the internet t un-cup wood but have had little success. I rarely purchase less than 1/2" thick any more.. I would rather purchase thicker and plane it down than purchase thinner and have it be unusable. It also depends on where you purchase the wood, some don't thin it until it is dryer than others.. Just my experience.
  6. That is really pretty. Great job, You should be bragging! Hang on to that cedar, you will find more uses for it!
  7. By the way we know this was last years, right. Need a new on this year?
  8. Ahhh you are easy!
  9. There is some very neats item being shown here. Really puts me in the mood! Scrolled so much the past week that my thumb and forefinger on my right hand are real sore from holding and directing the cutting. I will vacuum and dust the house after Christmas. No one is coming anyway.
  10. Saw this on pictures of @Rolf's dust collection set up. I decided to try it. In the past I have twisted the loc-line up and out of the way to move it out of the way to move the blade to another hole. That means when I want the sucker back in place I have to twist it down and fiddle with it to get it right where I want it. That wears out the loc-line and it is not cheap not fun to replace joints of it. With this union I just swing the sucker to the side out of the way and when I swing it back it is right where I want it. No fiddling. Now I am pondering on a way to do something similar for the blower side.... This took me less than 4 minutes 32 seconds to put in. Thanks Rolf!
  11. Okay @OCtoolguy, don't give then that look (confused) look. Think about it. They are twisted, you tension one and it unwinds a tiny bit. I've has to turn the tension knob a little some times to compensate. I have. And that's the truth!
  12. I do not normally sell things. But on request I did sell 4 of these for $125 ea. One buyer said when he picked his up said $125 was not really enough and gave me another $10.
  13. Even with a good pattern, I end up with fire pit tinder more often than I like!
  14. They are nice. That would wear me out.
  15. I've experienced spiral blades stretching.
  16. Oh my, in all my years of scrolling I have never heard of "Eberle blades". Or if I have I done forgot!
  17. The question is where is Mr Pillow? has not been here for since last January! I miss his contributions to the village!
  18. It this was for me, please feel free to message me anytime. If you are looking for info on making patterns... Not your guy.. I have never had the talent to master that. I cut out the black, leave the white on others talented patterns.
  19. Frank, I agree completely, those are both wonderful pictures! Really a nice job.
  20. I like it, very nice job.
  21. That is awesome to me. You did an awesome job! I am a huge Kokopelli fan. So much so when I was making cigar box guitars/ukuleles I make a my own design Kokopelli playing a Uke, sound hole piece.
  22. Very nice!
  23. Denny can you put an announce on your web site, artcraftersonline? I don't do Facebook, but no matter, I use your blades and will order whether I have a coupon or not.
  24. There is double sided tape and then there is double sided tape. I have some I purchased to hold a piece of wood to a face plate when turning on a lathe. You could stick to cars together and one could pull the other. I have some double sided carpet tape that is not nearly as strong. I would not use either to hole a paper pattern on but the carpet tape would probably hold pieces of wood together for stack cutting.
