  1. Well done Dick!
  2. Very nice.
  3. Did you try searching the forum? I would use the words "resize" "Inkscape".
  4. Thanks. We are expecting 2 - 5 cm of snow today!!!
  5. I appreciate the compliment. I don't feel that I am "really skilled" this is my third piece.
  6. Thanks. It was some Poplar that were the "scraps" from the 20 minute stackable puzzles.
  7. Like I am not already
  8. Now that we are both retired, we seem to alternate days for cooking and cleaning the kitchen.
  9. Thank you all for the encouraging words.
  10. All done!
  11. Reservations were made!!
  12. Laundry - hubby does it!! That is his Sunday task. Heaven help me if I step in. Confuses his whole week then
  13. Reservations were made.
  14. The only way to know is to try. I have used just some wax paper on the table before I start a project.
  15. Even in the basement, the cast iron table can be frigid. I have a pair of fingerless arm "socks" that I was using to keep the wrists and arms warm.
  16. The Isopropyl Alcohol is what the guys at Woodescence recommend (here in Canada). I picked up a box of 4 from Costco.
  17. Thanks for the video. Saw a few things there that I didn't see scrolling through the thread.
  18. I read, somewhere, to rest your wrists on the table. Kinda forces you to relax the arms. I will stop to drop my shoulders when I notice them creeping up. To me, it means I am holding the wood to tight!
  19. What great looking furry friends. We are currently pet free! I have attached the pattern. Hopefully it can be accessed. Cat love ready to print.svg
  20. It looks great. I didn't read all the comments about "how long" because it doesn't matter. I stopped trying to compare my times with others. I was getting very stressed when I wasn't cutting as fast as other were saying they could get something done. A fine example is the book "20 minute puzzles". I still haven't cut one in 20 minutes and I have cut at least 20 of those puzzles.
  21. Sorry for your loss.
  22. Thanks Dick.
  23. That is a lovely cutting you have shown. While it seems like a great idea, but why wait? I would be gifting them now so they can appreciate it with you.
  24. Welcome, glad you found us! Don't be afraid to ask questions. The only dumb ones are those unasked.
  25. Thanks @Foxfold for the pattern! I reduced it, which meant there was a "design" choice made while cutting. This was done as a quick cut instead of working on my tulips project because I received my Pegas blade chuck in the mail. This is about 7/8 thick walnut. Cut with #5 precision skip. One coat if shellac. There are some other issues but hubby didn't see them and they can't be seen from the front.
