    I sold all the ones I made last year (3) for $30 or $35 each.

    Thanks for all the kind words -- she really did like it. There is also quite a large Welsh Terrier community - I might be cutting a bunch more of them.

    I knew you had lots of breeds - was pretty sure I had looked there. Clearly I didn't look hard enough Can I also ask a question - how to you wrap your puzzles for sales?

    I have either put it back with the new or I have used painters tape, written the blade description on the tape and taped it to the wall beside my saw.

    I have a friend who has been asking for a Welsh Terrier cutting of some sort. I searched around for a pattern and hadn't found anything. She made a comment about one of my other pieces that made me go Aha!!!!! So here is what I did for her.

    Clearly I am very late to the conversation, but here are my 2 cents worth. I have made a couple of small bowls that I use regularly for popcorn in the evening. I just used Tung Oil on them. They only get rinsed in hot water with a dish cloth to clean. Been a year at least and hubby and I are still around!!!

    I knew it was an old post - didn't realize he hasn't been on since 2013.

    Dale, Do you sell the pattern for the diagonal cutting?
  9. barb.j.enders
    I would agree - also in the finger holes of the scissors

    Sorry to be so long in getting back, there have been family medical issues. I use just what ever craft paint I have on hand. I think some are the Delta brand. I have used even regular "house" paint.

    If you are wanting to add just a bit of colour there is a process called "dry brushing". Put a bit of paint on a wide brush, then take most of the paint off by brushing on a paper towel, when you think there is no more paint on the brush, take the brush to your wood and lightly brush over the area you want colour on. I hope this makes sense. Another way to look at it is like a lady applying blush makeup to her cheeks - just a very light hand!!

    I would call the - "beautiful" But as everyone else suggested - wine presentation box
  13. barb.j.enders
    No, it is a small box. Plans from the Scroll Saw magazine

    This is my first time doing inlay. A few "should have done in different order" but very happy with the results.

    Here is my work shop
  16. barb.j.enders
    My dad always tinkered in his shop in the basement. I took "shops" in junior high the first time it was offered for girls back in the mid '70's. Didn't do much after that. Wasn't afraid to try my hand at repairing things in the house. Ended up taking a couple of woodworking classes in the evenings. That was doing "bigger" items. Built some things for around the house - fence!!! My daughters bed & night stand using a book called 2x4 furniture. Could only really do that during the summer and took over the garage. Needed to find something to do in the winter so I found a used Craftsman. It had pinned blades. Didn't do much with it as it wasn't really working well. Really got into it when hubby bought me the Dewalt 788 for Christmas about 4 years ago. For the first year or so, I felt that I went down to the workroom to cut out of obligation. That has changed and now if I don't get down to the workroom weekly I miss it. Guess I am hooked.

    very nice work.

    I would love one of these for sanding tools, but I'm with you - I don't think I have the skills to make a flip cart!

    How thick is the wood for the picks. My hubby uses them on certain guitars - he has 14 - 17 (i have lost count), would like to maybe make some for him.

    I didn't know SSV was on FB. That is what I scroll through as I have breakfast. Post pictures there cause it is easier! Usually come here for answers because there is so much wisdom here! When I logged in today to see if there were answers to my "unglue" post, I also noticed the trophies - Thanks to whoever gave them to me. As someone mentioned above - I am not sure I deserve the lend a hand one. Others certainly have more experience than I do.

    Okay, Thanks for all the advice. I decided to redo but instead of my pattern (because I didn't have a copy handy) I used Steve Good's pattern. The first two pictures of what I had done and the third is the redo. It still needs sanding. I will try the heat approach at some point but given that it was a piece of wood that had been re-purposed at least two other times, not so worried about saving it.

    I am/was in the process of making a piggy bank for my great nephew and glued up the three pieces. Didn't realize that one of the sides slid out of place until a day later when I went to sand it. It is to far out of place to sand down effectively. How do I unglue the one side or did I just make some designer firewood????
  23. barb.j.enders
    Goo Gone is what I use. I have also used an old pencil to "pick up" the pattern. Just tap the edge to lift it off the surface. A little less sticky on the fingers.

    When I signed up, I clearly wasn't very imaginative - Barb is my name.
