    Just jump in. There are some easy patterns, including this one. Just be aware, it is addicting!

    Spent most of the day sorting, storing, amalgamating and yes!!! throwing out!!! I don't have a before. The last two are the after!
  3. barb.j.enders
    Well done!

    Some segmentation items look great painted. Or, Wendell Woodworks has a couple of videos that have some ideas.

    Depends on the project. The Angel Fish took much longer. I was having problems with it. I was also moving furniture around in the house, so it kinda got ignored. The Hummingbird was probably 10 hours total work. That was spread over a few days.

    Hummingbird hovering over Flower. Pattern designer - @FrankEV. Thank you. Woods used -Purpleheart, orange osage, aromatic cedar, Canarywood, lacewood, poplar, maple, wenge. Mounted on live edge Elm. Walrus oil finish. Aprox 9"x7. There is a before finish and after finish. I love putting the finish on to see the colours pop!

    Latest piece done. Segmentation Koi bowl. I used 3/4" Poplar for two layers and 1/2" Maple for the third layer. Black is Osmo finish. Colours are acrylic paints. Finished with triple glaze gloss. Pattern is from an old Creative Woodworks magazine. Pattern designer is Deborah Nicholson. Thank you @Denny Knappenfor providing it to me. Original pattern is 12" diameter. This is reduced to 8"diameter.

    You can use any shelf liner. Some will say "clear" so you can see the grain lines but if you are using tape, you can't see the grain. I will use/have used the cheapest liner from the $ store or whatever is on sale.

    A different take on holding the ring in a ring box. How about a tapered dowel for the ring to slip over. Picture as an example. Shannon+Crystal+Ring+Holder.webp

    Those woods look great for Intarsia. I can send you my address
  13. barb.j.enders
    You are correct. You cannot copy & sell a pattern. Anything you make you can sell or give away the product. Generally though, credit should be given to the pattern designer.

    True, but the only thing I print is patterns. I am okay with black. Hubby, is now printing more but it is music so black is fine for him.
  15. barb.j.enders
    No Rick, don't stop posting. You are doing great.
  16. barb.j.enders
    I switched to a laser printer with toner cartridge. No ink to dry out. Downside is, it only prints black.

    Looks great Dick. The style reminds me of a Russ Beard pattern. Wonder if this is one of his?

    Weather wise, we have been on a roller-coaster! Today -32 C without windchill. Friday we had a blizzard. Not much snow but very srtong winds, temp was only -5C. Ealier in Jan we were above zero.

    Steve is quite happy to have his patterns altered. Just wants to be credited. I also altered the pattern.....or at least I had @Don in Brooklyn do it. And yes, ut can be challenging to find a pattern in his catalog.
  20. barb.j.enders
    FYI, That is a Steve Good pattern that was obviously altered. https://www.stevedgood.com/valengnome.pdf

    Very nice Frank.

    The 3M77 wasn't the problem. It was an older heavy duty glue that I had used on the boat to hold the headliner (carpet on the ceiling) to the fiberglass. The problem is all the little spaces that the glue got into. It looked like a spiderweb before I cleaned it up a bit.
  23. barb.j.enders
    Well, it doesn't really belong here except it is a finished project. Don't remember exactly where the artwork came from, but is was free. This 7"x7" using the craft panels from KJP Select and stack cut 2. Mirror finish is a peel & stick roll on masonite backer. Used some older, heavy-duty spray, thinking it would be easier to apply evenly, with no squeeze out. Well.....it came out very stringy. Tried cleaning it up with the sanding mop. That exploded!!!! Down to one! Cleaned it up a bit. Sprayed with 3m77. Not a great hold, but no squeeze out. There are still blobs of the bad glue so this one will be hung in the workshop instead of being sold. This is a giraffe looking down and backwards at you!

    That is some very nice,clean cutting. I see you cut in from the edge. Interesting. When I do a stack I will make an entry hole, in the waste area, then cut in. It will keep the stack together, but then I use tape.

    Sorry about that @BadBob, I reduced the font to make it "clear" that it was a direct quote.
