  1. A neat idea. I would not split them--they probably get to wobbly to stand well when not stopping a swing then.

    The 2 wheel tribe will LOVE IT. Very nice work.
  3. Neat work. Great designs.
  4. Looks very neat. I like the optical illusion part of it very much-- Makes a great project.
  5. A.K. hit it-- Fun for the maker--FUN for the player! Great job. As a toy maker-- I know how neat they really are!
  6. Very nice work!
  7. Very nice. That is one CROWDED fish bowl though. I do like the 1/2 trick-really set it off!
  8. TWO THINGS #1. Fantastic work #2. There si pleasure in making things for kids that is not matched any other way!
  9. Gorgeous job!~ Way past my skills and PATIENCE!
  10. Great job! I bet you do not even want to know how much time went into that!
  11. Both look FINE! Just curious--do you mean the high speed smaller hand held tool(like a Dremel-etc.) when you referred to router, or an actual router? Either way though you did very nice work.
  12. Super neat. I am not sure that I will ever even try one. My skills are not good enough for that! Can NOT fix mistakes there with a sander!
  13. Have a heck of a good trip! Neat work.
  14. Excellent. Very well done on both!
  15. An neat ZOO! Really like the HOOTS and the turtle the best though! All are excellent. I too have always had a thing for owls!
  16. Really neat. A good idea not FAN a revolver, causes excess wear on the cylinder ratchet!
  17. Yes, it uses an electromagnet to move the blade--Not a heavy duty-- BUT I still LIKE it. Blade actually moves way under a 1/4 inch at a time.
  18. Compliments from Dick are compliments indeed! Of course he is totally CORRCT-- beautiful work.
  19. I bought this saw when the REA came to western ND! That was the fall of 1953. I had done a small amount of using a coping saw before that. It started life as an 11" saw. Sometime in the early 70's I need to make a few bigger things than the throat depth made possible. I took it to 3 different welding shops and was told it was impossible 3 times to lengthen. I does have very limited cutting speed and depth though. I have cut over 3" deep material--way back when-- but it was extremely slow going. I happened to mention to my uncle one day that I had tried to get it enlarged and was told it was impossible, because the arm is spring steel and cannot be welded! He told me it could so I sent the saw with him. It was returned as a much more usable saw. He even added the back foot to help the stability. I actually used it last week just for the heck of it. It has been running on home made parts since sometime in the early 60's when the bottom blade hook had broken and Sears told me NONE AVAILQABLE. We then made one. Just thought that I would share this. I wish my other Craftsman tools ahd stood the test of time 1/10 that well! I buy none of them now of anything!
  20. Looking good. A note--woodburning plywood is very tricky! It never seems to come out as I want it to when I have tried it.
  21. Neat job. That wood is worth more than a nickel!
  22. You really do keep the Amazing part going don't you? Great job as we all now expect from you!
  23. Great work-- Grand-daughters really are like that! My older brother had those emotions for his 69 Super Bee!
  24. WE have to HAND it to you! Great work!
  25. Great work. I have run scrollsaw for about 65 years now and may eventually know something about it! I actually still own that first saw and it still works. Very limited to the thichness of material it can handle though. I played with it last week JUST BECAUSE! I swear every time I cut any major project I learn something new.
