Congratulations on another good weekend Iggy. Sounds like the weather still played a part even though it didn't actually really rain. Bonus is you still walked out with good money and have less work to do this week to get ready for the next show. Thanks for continuing to share your experiences with your shows. I am sure it helps many who consider doing them or do them. While I don't, I enjoy hearing about your success with the puzzles. Things do not have to be complicated to sell well. They just need to be quality work that appeals to the masses and your puzzles fit that clearly!

Ditto to what they said. Looks great. Thanks for showing.

Another Tennessee welcome. Looks like Dick is helping you with the questions on the plaque lettering. Look forward to seeing some of your work.

Thank you Travis. Needless to say I was like "NO!!!!!" this morning when I couldn't get on and then this afternoon and it was still down I knew it was distressing to many. Thanks for all your work today and everyday to keep the Village up and available for us.

Welcome to the forum from another Tennessean. Glad to have you hear. Look forward to seeing some of your work.

I posted "How I make compound cutting patterns."
meflick replied to Old Dust's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Thanks for sharing your insight and knowledge on compound cutting patterns John. -
Wow, what an awesome pattern by Paul (grampa) and you did an awesome job cutting it all out and then adding in the framing. 300 holes - all drilled and then cut out in one day. I am in awe of such patience and skill! Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful project all around Steve, pattern and the cutting. I know several people who would love that. Thanks for showing us.
-
Great to hear Iggy. I'm sure they will sell well. Thanks for giving that update on your test.

Thanks for sharing your reindeer information Charley. I don't presently have time to sit down and read through it all as I'm about to head out the door for an appointment, but will be back to peruse in detail later and take copious notes.

Beautiful work Frank. I have a niece who plays the guitar who would just love those I am sure. Thanks for sharing.
-
Very nice looking work. Doesn't look like you've been killing time to me - especially with that clock. Excellent work. I really love the scene ones you did. Thanks for sharing.

I had thought the same thing when I saw Tony's comment BUT I decided to keep my mouth shut and hope she didn't read the forum - Having been in the Marine Corps I think he can probably take care of himself though and besides - sounds like he has "some" smarts if he's learned to keep his head down! (Course a real smart man would have never said it!)

I really liked your finished pieces Frank. Lovely work. Thanks for sharing.

I understand Paul - sometimes we are just "intrigued" by something even if we don't "need" it. I have a larger laser light for my heat press so I don't need one either. But yet, I'm intrigued with how one could best add one to the scroll saw. I haven't yet determined if I am a "Bottom feeder" or a "top feeder" anyway. Since most of the cutting I have done has been for Intarsia there is no top or bottom feeding. The few things I have done outside that scope that required holes drilled, I have tried both ways. Haven't found one I prefer over the other EXCEPT I prefer to use the Excalbur over the Dewalt since the arm will stay up on it versus having to use something to prop the arm up on the Dewwalt.

I agree, the Village is a great place. Lots of people with lots of help and wisdom and talent they so kindly share for newbies like myself. Thanks to all of you. I appreciate the time and information you share with us here.

Thanks for showing more of your work Randy. I am always in awe of what you have managed to cut out on a coin. This one is no exception. Thanks for sharing.
-
Wow a lot of time and talent went into those. They look great. Thanks for sharing.
-
Great work as always Kevin and I am sure the recipients will love your work. Thanks for sharing.
-
Cute idea, really like the idea for the "short fuse" - Thanks for sharing.
-
Very nice work. They look great. Thanks for sharing.

I just wanted to say that I just did a quick search on Amazon and there are different laser lights and mounts, etc. that one can get and adapt and use for this purpose for those of you who are handy/knowledgeable enough to do so. Prices vary depending upon how much you want a "completed" piece versus one you would create on your own. They also sell some laser lights for embroidery and heat presses, etc. that could be adapted but they would be more expensive then creating your own. I did see one linked that was for adding to a drill press. Also, if you have trouble seeing "red" I saw other colors of laser lights that could be obtained. I will leave this to you inventive types here in the Village (unless I have hubby look into it) but wanted to let you know that you could get the parts and pieces probable via Amazon.

Thank you Bill. It's that folding precisely on the line and then getting it precisely on the wood that causes me concerns! Anyone got tips or tricks on that? Good to know about making sure the wood blank is square too.
-
More nice looking projects Dan. You have definitely been on a roll with your production. Thanks for sharing.
-
Always nice work. Glad you enjoy it. Good luck with both events. Hopefully the one this weekend will not be a total washout with bad weather. Look forward to hearing how both shows go for you.
