  1. Bet he'll love it as much as I love mine. 'Course mine doesn't rock, it just rolls!
  2. Here's some more humor for the day: http://aaa.funnycrzi.com/a-man-wanted-divorce-from-his-wife-this-conversation-with-his-lawyer-is-priceless/
  3. Wow, that is quite an eye-popping list! I'm finishing making a frame for an intersecting name plaque for my brother-in-law and mounting it. Just a hobby for me and I stand, no sit, in awe of the amount of output from many of you.
  4. Can't wait to see the finished picture! Very nice.
  5. This was requested by a lady to give to her son's family. Their house burned to the ground. I put a dedication on the back to explain the reasoning behind the way it was made.
  6. Welcome Jim. I retired from teaching at 54 but it took me until 73 to discover scrolling! Just think how many years you will have to hone your skills at this fun craft.
  7. Cute one!
  8. I agree. I've had them stretch during a cut and increased the tension on the fly on my Craftsman. I also replaced the set screw on the upper blade holder with a threaded knob which makes changing and aligning blades much faster and easier.
  9. I have a Craftsman 16" too. I replaced the Allen screw in the upper blade holder with a threaded knob and blade changes are much faster now. I'm also more able to lock them in a parallel position. I, too, use Olson blades with good success.
  10. What a cutie!
  11. Well done! The center of the flower is interesting. How did you do that?
  12. Happy birthday Ray. Have a piece of cake for me!
  13. Hope she doesn't read these posts or you're in a big

  15. Hey Larry, where in Arizona are you? We lived in Phoenix on the border of Scottsdale for 22 of our 52 years in AZ. As to an heirloom, maybe I'll have to do a family portrait some day as they are expecting their first child. Larry B.
  16. Yummy! Looks good enough to eat.
  17. Glad to have you here. You should be great at scrolling with your experience. Can't wait to see what you make.
  18. What program do you use to make patterns from pics??
  19. Beautiful work, Lee.
  20. Thanks Len. I used a free program called Rapid Resizer that has a part called Picture Stencil Maker that turns the picture into line art. I then transferred that into Inkscape so I could eliminate all the "islands" and unnecessary lines. Larry B
  21. Nicely cut Frank!
  22. Hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. I'll be sure to tell them.
