    I did a piece for the grandkids. Cut from 1/8" (3mm) plywood. Had a friend 3d print the names at 2mm. Flat black on satin white. 8 x 10 frame.

    I tried using cookie cutters one year and tried to decorate them as cookies. Cutting was spot on--decorating left a lot to be desired.

    Little late to the party, but central Indiana sending greetings. Ask your questions--we all started with the same issues.

    Looking at my first post of the day and see such a piece of great news. Big smiles from this little corner of the world.

    Update: My DIL found a birthday card signed by her mom who unfortunately was killed in a car wreck 10 years ago and I was able to get the signature copied and cut to finish the plaque. Lettering done by a friend on his 3d printer at 2mm height.

    I wish I knew. I saw a picture of it on line sometime last year, screen shotted it and made a few minor adjustments.

    I don't know about under the tree, but on the tree is a different story. The round ornaments are for cousins and their adult children. The sleds will be personalized with paint marker for the offspring--the third generation.

    Don't know that I would stain it. A few coats of clear or amber finish and calling good.

    Superb work on a very challenging pattern.

    As usual, these are wonderful examples of an artistic eye.

    It is a Steve Good pattern. Three sizes for 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2" stock. Never tried the big one.

    I have cut a bunch of those manger scenes in both 1/8" and 1/4" (3 - 6 mm) and they are fun to do--except when you put your finger in the wrong place and the super glue wins. The small ones, I have put an eye hook in them as an ornament.

    It definitely has a stained glass feel to it. Maybe if our old buddy @trackmansees this, we might see something similar from his family glass shop.

    Greetings from EN70gf, also known as East Central Indiana. Since you have done scrolling in the past, you understand that "donations" to the burn bucket are inevitable. But, as long as the sawdust is still being created, those ornaments will get done. Make lots of sawdust, make lots of contacts and post a picture or two when those cuttings are done. de KB9LEI

    I was great right up until the jalapeño cheddar sausage. But, individual tastes vary--so enjoy them.

    Getting stuff ready for family and a couple of single day shows. The snowman is one of 14 cut from scrap, sprayed satin white and hat and details handpainted. The sleds is part of 17 for younger family members and close friends. They will be personalized with white paint markers. Quarter shown for scale. Paint is International Harvester Red (now Case IH). And I assembled a bunch of sets of holiday themed earrings. All this to accompany left over ornaments from years past. Now, to get the pricing done.

    Very good looking paint job. This is not going to sound good, but they look like some mass produced decor items from a big box store.

    Central Indiana sending along greetings and a welcome.

    Thought about giving the post a "like" but "WOW" seemed more appropriate.

    Really neat image and great cutting. Huge pat on the back.
  21. Jim McDonald
    Not real sure. It's been in the cut pile for better than a year. I prototyped it in BB from the actual pattern, then enlarged it 33% to make it close to 4 inches.

    Got a bit of a jump on Christmas ornaments for the family this year. Did 36 of these in 1/8" alder and walnut. Beautiful stock from Ocooch and Watco gloss to finish--with a dot of Unicorn Spit for Rudolph. Stack cut in groups of four with #2 and #3 MGT Pegas blades I picked up from @Denny Knappen on my way through Tennessee this spring. Comments and critique always welcome. (No idea where the yellowish cast on photo came from)
  23. Jim McDonald
    Quite a piece. Amazing.
  24. Jim McDonald
    Like Denny, I have had one problem and it was handled immediately and I have always received great stock from them for years. Going right now to work on a stack of 1/4" walnut.

    The birdhouses were published as an article in one of the magazines a few years ago. Multiple shapes of the houses. Through the years, I have lost which magazine/edition due to many copies and I cut off the information. The artist was the late Diana Thompson.
