    Thanks for the link to the video. Very educational. I think I need to bookmark that for review occasionally.

    I have been making the Steve Good personalized snowman ornaments. Finding them quite tedious to cut. Using 1/8" bbply and a Pegas # 1 mg blade. It is taking about 3/4 of an hour to cut one. Been only able to cut two each session. (Could also be because I have been sick the last week). I was going to try to figure a way to stack cut them. My thought was to cut all the blanks, those being the standard ornament and then match up the name plate areas. I never did get around to doing that with these ornaments. Maybe next year! Regarding how to stack cut, I saw an interesting video on a facebook page that I will have to try. The person taped both sides of the blanks. Sprayed adhesive on the tape an the stuck them together. When the cut was complete, just had to remove the tape and "voila" ! Multiple pieces.

    Very nice work. Can't wait to see the totally finished project.

    There is no machine required. I have "heat shrink" bags that I put my puzzles into and then turn the hairdryer on. Still need to get proficient at using them because sometimes the bag is too big for the item and there is a lot of "scrunch" so it isn't as smooth as I would like.

    This is what I am using. It is quite soft so no unexpected manicures!!! Haven't had anything break yet while using it.

    I purchased a nylon brush set intended to scrub tires. I use the domed one in my drill press to remove the fuzzies and smooth the edges. I will also use it after I put a finish on again, just to smooth it out. Seems to be working fine. Tried to find a link for it but couldn't. I did purchase it at Canadian Tire.

    Jim, Looks greats. How much are you charging for the cat puzzles?

    It should be interesting. Hubby is joining me to help sell/man the booth. Not sure how that will play out. He is not a sales guy in the least!! Doesn't normally help with any of my hobby!! Has already said, might not sell for the right amounts!!!

    Just checking out my stock levels. Have not been involved in a sale in a couple of years. Last one was 4 hours in a church where I didn't sell very much. Doing a 2 day indoor event next weekend. I think I have enough!! Lol I will take pictures if the final setup, promise!!!

    I made that one years ago for my niece. I used a darker stain on it. Not sure that I have a picture of it!

    I have ordered from Garnet Hall as well. He just used regular Canada Post on my last order so it was just the cost of a stamp! Took about a week to get to me, but I blame Canada Post on that not Garnet!

    I have done these two. The dinosaur was the from Steve Good and just added the filler strip between & cut the middle for the clear part. The fairy is also a Steve Good pattern. The plexi was cut with the pattern so it is one of the layers.

    I have cut the heart one twice, making 6 altogether. Sold three. One was a gift to my daughter who gave me the pattern as a gift.

    Thanks Brenda for the lesson. I haven't used Inkscape very often but like the other got very frustrated at using it. I know that I am a visual learner.

    I like the toothbrush holder idea. I still just have them all in ziptop bags in a box.

    Nice cutting. I though it was Steve's pattern...https://www.stevedgood.com/thetorus.pdf... but it is a little different.

    My sympathies to his family and the "family" here. He always had a kind word about my work.

    I learned that even if I cut the backer at the same time, I couldn't get the "frame" to match properly. If I cut it again, I would put the center pieces (unglued) in while the glue is setting for the frame. I learned that I really hate sanding!!! I learned that I am very unsure about how to shape items. Don't think that intarsia is in my future any time soon unless I take some lessons.

    I am usually the first to say, "we are always our worst critic". There are some major gaps in the piece that the photo doesnt show!
