Good to see you up and with internet access Dick. Glad things seem to be going fairly well for you and the Mrs with the move. Hope you get things settled in nicely and enjoy it and get time to get in your shop soon. The eclipse is suppose to come fairly close to us and husband took the day off work to make sure we can see it together. Look forward to hearing more about your move and setup when you have time to share. Not sure I could handle that heat. hubby would probably like it - he's always cold - I'm always hot!

Hello and welcome to the Village from East TN despite your college affiliations. Glad to have you and look forward to seeing some of your work.

I agree, great looking work. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job and definitely a family heirloom that will be treasured. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Dave and I am sure that your wife loved it. thanks for sharing.

Excellent work. Thanks for showing.

Nice work. Congratulations on the sales. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you were able to find their site and that they gave you permission and the pattern to use. Make sure you show us what you do once it is completed. You have me curious now as to what it is!

I agree, stunning work on the pattern creation and the cutting. Beautiful work that anyone would love to have and display. Thanks for sharing.

More great work Dave and should be another good selling product for you.

Congratulations.

Those are just beautifully stunning work Jay. You should be well pleased with them and I am sure the lucky recipients who get them will love having them. I am sure they will raise good money for the charity event. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work as always Denny. Would be interesting pattern to work with looks like.

They tried, at least once - I remember when they did - well, can't remember exactly when - think when I was in school but can't recall exactly how old I was - but Americans being Americans we pushed back and said - NOT. You might remember, its when they tried to put the road signs up with both distances trying to "convert" us slowly. Didn't work though so I think they gave it up. (One reason I gather was it was not "mandatory" but "voluntary." Edited to add: went looking to see "when" we tried to make the Country change to metric - I was right in was in my childhood/school years. "In 1975, Congress passed the Metric Conversion Act, which declared metric as the preferred system of the United States, and the U.S. Metric Board was created to implement the conversion. . . . (found another article that says that Board was abolished in 1982 by President Regan.) America began testing road signs in kilometers under President Jimmy Carter,. . ." found in this article (among some others I found: http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2015/07/us/metric-road-american-story/ and this one that explains why we didn't go with Metric way back when in our founding years: http://time.com/3633514/why-wont-america-go-metric/ (several others said the same thing) which says in part: "The measurement debate actually goes back to our nation’s very beginning. The original metric system was developed in France during its revolution, and was so radically decimal that it divided the day into 10 hours. As our first secretary of state, Thomas Jefferson was charged with deciding which set of measures would be best for the country. He had been instrumental in creating the dollar—the first fully decimal measure any nation ever used. Jefferson rejected the metric system, however, because in origin he found it to be too French. . ." However, other things in those and other articles noted that many things we buy now list the metric volume or sizes so that we are "partially" there.

Congratulations on your new saw. I have one just like it out in the shop. Hubby didn't have Steve Good's video to help him when we got it. Think he would have like to have. I was just glad I had him to put it together for me. I've been enjoying it - hope you enjoy yours too.

Ditto - happy Father's Day to all you dads.

I am sure lots of baseball fans in the area will love those. They look great. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work. Nothing wrong with selling enough to pay for more wood and tools. I agree with your son. $100 definitely not enough. Not sure $125 is though either -but then that's from me who runs afraid of all those words!

More great work Ralph. I'm getting closer to getting pics of mine - I moved them up to where the photo box is.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like the Fall 2017 - Issue 68 - is on its way: http://scrollsawer.com/2017/06/14/scroll-saw-woodworking-crafts-fall-2017-issue-68/

Very nice work Dan. Always good to earn those brownie points for knocking off some of the "honey do" list.

Hi John and welcomes me to the village. Sorry to hear about your stroke, but looks like you are working on getting better. Take your time and enjoy the village and all the folks here. Let us see what you are able to craft.

Very nice work Ralph. They are a bit addictive. I have cut several but no photos taken yet, so guess it's not really happened will try to get them up soon. Thanks for sharing yours.

What a beautiful piece of artwork Marg. Glad to see you are having some time with your saw. Hope that means all your health and eye issues have healed up and you are doing well now! Thanks for sharing.
