    Excellent Paul. I still enjoy my hobby as I sell and hopefully you will also.

    Well done Ralph. Remember, you can't come into North Carolina, it's my turf.

    Well done Grasshopper. You have made me proud.

    Hi Kevin, In my puzzle world, I've tracked every puzzle I've sold the past year and know which ones are the "popular" ones. Out of the 120+ different animals, I have about 20 that I maintain duplicates of. Anywhere from 2 extras to 12 extras depending on how many I sell on a weekly basis. Right now I'm stocking up for a big event at the end of August and my goal is to have 2 of everything and then up to 20+ of each of my top sellers. My goal is to have 500 puzzles on hand for the event with a goal of selling 200-250. Iggy

    We need pictures, or it didn't really happen...

    If anyone lives near Greenville, SC... https://greenville.craigslist.org/tls/6176383315.html I texted the guy and asked him to send me a picture of the lower blade holder. He had said the saw was from 2003-2005, he wasn't sure. It appears to be pre-2005 based on the blade holder, right?

    I hope none of the assembly guys catches a cold and is out sick for the next month. I saw your website... coin cutting... very impressive. Nice work.

    Speaking of small letters. I liked Harvey's car puzzle patterns and I bought one of the patterns and really liked the final product, but the lettering is small and I decided not to add them to my offerings. I may try them again some time though...
  9. Iguanadon
    Well... Pooh... The saws are so popular right now they're backlogged. I'm looking at about 4 weeks. That's fine, I'm not in critical need of it, but I'm not one for patiently waiting. I did mention that I wasn't too keen on the fact that they charged my credit card as soon as the order was received and now I'm having to wait a month. She apologized and even offered to back the charge out and re-charge at the time of shipment, but it wasn't a big deal for me so I told her not to bother. But if you're considering ordering, I'd recommend calling them, she was extremely nice, and place the order over the phone and arrange to pay when it's about to ship. Now I sit and wait... and wait...

    I may have to come up with a "special" price for cutting Golden Doodle's... LOL I have a lot of folks that come up and when I ask what breed they're interested in they say "I have a mix... a Dachshund and a Chihuahua" for instance, I smile, pick up the two breed puzzles and say "No problem, I can glue these two together." And we all chuckle. I then ask if it was a rescue dog and if they say yes, I show them the RESCUE puzzle and they usually end up buying that. There are so many "mixes" out there, and many of them look unique or different, so there's simply no way to have all possibilities. Golden Doodle is the only one I've bothered to even check to see if Harvey has done a pattern.

    As to the shelf liner is just that it's cheaper. It works the same as the blue painters tape and adheres well to the wood, yet easy enough to peel off. I go thru a lot of it as I prepare a 5' long board that is 11" wide and it's nice to just roll it out and stick it to the entire board. Two or three boards a week. Good luck.

    FYI - This is likely much cheaper than blue tape, depending on how big an area you usually cover and ease of use of course... then I spray the entire surface with 3M General Purpose 45 and apply my patterns. https://jet.com/product/detail/860f37e484c34291bcce83bf4576aee6?jcmp=pla:ggl:JD_dur_Cwin_Home_Decor_a3:home_decor_kitchen_storage_other_a3:na:PLA_786096686_49640021988_pla-312879038529:na:na:na:2&code=PLA15&pid=kenshoo_int&c=786096686&is_retargeting=true&clickid=11a5a43b-8b3c-4c6a-9729-1c855416b43f When I went to get the link to it on Amazon I saw that they're no longer carrying it... so I guess I'll be trying out Jet.com in the near future.

    Not sure how humid it is where you are, but have you had this happen during the warmer months before?
  14. Iguanadon
    There's your problem... "need" is such a useless word... WANT is much more important and exciting.

    Status is still AWAITING FULFILLMENT... tick tock, tick tock... waiting... waiting... I may call them today since they charged my credit card the moment I placed the order Sunday I'd like to know when to expect it to arrive.
  16. Iguanadon
    FYI - I was just speaking with Harvey on the phone about a custom pattern I needed and during our conversation I asked if he had a "master list" of his 700+ puzzle patterns and he said he had a pretty comprehensive list and he's sending me a copy. I'll scan it and then find a way to share it with everyone.
  17. Iguanadon
    Smart man... GOLDENDOODLE and SAXOPHONE... the two most intricate of all the Harvey Byler patterns in my opinion.
  18. Iguanadon
    Yep... Newfoundland is ok, at least he's big and fluffy. :-) Here is is, along with the KINGCHARLES and the CAVALIER mentioned earlier.
  19. Iguanadon
    That was actually one of my early challenges... Fortunately I came up with a simple solution... layering... I can fit about 107 puzzles in this tub in about 11 layers separated by cardboard.
  20. Iguanadon
    Ha! Actually Harvey drew both a KINGCHARLES and a CAVALIER... separately thank goodness!

    After cutting about 1200 animal puzzles there are a couple that I really don't like to cut. Up until yesterday they were the CHOCOLATELAB due to the number of letters crammed into a dog body and the SCHNAUZER due to the amount of fur detail that needed to be cut. Well, now my new least favorite is... the GOLDENDOODLE... a perfect combination of the other two... a lot of letters and a heck of a lot of fur. I had gotten the pattern a few months ago but when I saw it, I decided I'd only cut one if someone asked... well someone asked this past Saturday so I had to bite the bullet. I'm honestly hoping nobody else wants one in the near future. LOL Iggy

    Living at the coast I have to weigh mine down due to a pretty constant wind. I use 5 gallon buckets and fill them with water (about 40 lbs) and use bungee cords to hook them to each of the 4 corners. Just about every event has access to water and that way I don't have to haul around sand or concrete blocks or weights.
  23. Iguanadon
    You all blow me away with your work. Fabulous. Brian, how long did you work on that piece? Just curious.
  24. Iguanadon
    Stunning. Beautiful work!
  25. Iguanadon
    Yeah, I was impressed with it. And you can choose any color or circus tent theme you'd like. LOL
