  1. Looks great. Glad you could stack cut. Thanks for sharing. I am sure they will be well received.
  2. Look nice Kevin and you are learning! See she told you she would pay THEN, then she said oh no - tomorrow and you stuck to your guns and said no $$ no product. She then came through with the funds. Tell her that's the new rule and you are sticking to it. You have a whole army here at the Village "backing" you up. Glad you have been getting work and getting paid for it.
  3. Thanks for trying to share it again Theresa. I tried again this morning after you did on my computer but still have the same issue. Technology sometimes just doesn't want to cooperate!
  4. That looks great. My mother was a wonder sewer and would have loved that basket. Thanks for sharing your photo.
  5. Ditto. Suppose to go down maybe to mid to lower 80's first of next week. So looking forward to that! Glad I was born after Air Conditioning for sure! I too love the Picture of Jay's shop in the Winter BUT I like the concept of snow and seeing it in pretty pictures but a day or two of it and I am good to move on.
  6. Thank you Terry. Everyone here is very nice helping newbies like me out. It is much appreciated.
  7. Thanks for asking and thanks to those who are replying and giving insight. I have been wondering about the same thing since I am sharing husband's workshop space and don't want to "take over" HIS space which is already pretty full and not much room for "growth" of my intarsia and the additional toys errr tools I would like to add. I have a workroom in the house but we also have an area in the basement that I was thinking would make a great area. Now, just to clean it up and convince the hubby.
  8. Looks great to me. As noted, i don't see any mistakes. Thanks for sharing your photo and insight. As a newbie, I like hearing and seeing other's work and learning about blades and such. Thanks to everyone who gave "food for thought" - "tips and tricks."
  9. Beautiful work on both pieces Terry. Thanks for sharing your photos. As a newbie to intarsia work I like seeing how others do the projects so I can learn more.
  10. I really like your angels Tony. I may look for that pattern and cut a few for Christmas gifts for family. Thanks for sharing your photos and your experience with breaking at the halo. Great modification to I,prove on that.
  11. I am on my iPad so I thought that might be why I was having problem getting the photo to open to see. At least on the pad, I could still sort of zoom in but hard to still see the project since its so small. I will try again tomorrow from my computer. From what I can see, it looks good Theresa. Just remember, we learn from each piece that we do. You are doing great only 4 pieces in. Don't be too hard on yourself.
  12. I think it's a great use of salvaged wood. I always love this type of planter. Yours looks very nice. Thanks for sharing your photos.
  13. Very beautiful wife and scroll work. I can see why your wife is ready to hang it on the wall. Great job. Thanks for sharing it.
  14. Looks great Denny and I am sure the foundation will enjoy getting it and having it as either a prize or an auction item. Whoever ends up with it will love displaying it. Thanks for sharing.
  15. Beautiful piece of art you have created. Not surprised your wife grabbed it and hung it up. thanks for sharing.
  16. Awesome job - on getting a useable pattern and then cutting it out. thanks for sharing.
  17. Excellent work. I suspect will be well received by the Roberts and the Diamonds. Good you have a "paint shop" with extra help.
  18. Well GrampaJim - I hope I did the right thing. I really wanted PURPLE! I saw them "in person" at Judy Gale Roberts Studio when I took her class. PURPLE is my favorite color. I have a DeWalt 788 Type 1 already soooooo - I didn't NEED one. I'm just a beginner so one saw should be plenty. But it was PURPLE and an Excalbur and did I mention it was an original Canadian one and it was PURPLE. Anyway - I really hope everyone agrees it was a good buy because it should be headed to my house from Texas very soon. Now how to hide a PURPLE scroll saw from my husband? (He won't care I bought it - he thought I was already going to buy an Excalibur before I even took my first class because several people he knew told him once I took the class, I would want one since that was what I would use in JGR's class. He'll just want to know WHERE I plan to put it. That's a good question. )
  19. A great friend who goes to the trouble of making you a personalized apron for your shop. Looks nice - even with the coffee stains.
  20. Hello, I am a newbie to the saw recently. As a result, I have spent a lot of time reviewing all the information that I can find on using the saw. Steve Good Has a great Beginner Scroll sawing videos on youtube. In the second one, around the 4:35 timestamp area, he explains the issue with cutting "straight" with a scroll saw. You can find that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxx-JuQJsms. Others have also explained it the same or similar to Steve's in the video. I bought the scroll saw I have years ago when my kiddos were little, as a result, I didn't have a lot of time to work with it and gave it up. However, I do know that part of my issue/frustration was that I couldn't get it to cut "straight"!
  21. All very nice work. thanks for sharing.
  22. I agree, look awesome and a great idea for selling to horse lovers or gifting to the horse lover in your life! Thanks for sharing the idea and for showing your pictures.
  23. Looks very nice. I am sure your daughter will love it. Thanks for sharing your photo - glad you were able to finally get it to show!
  24. Sounds great Kevin and cuts look good. Glad he is willing to pay you.
  25. Looks great. I am sure your friends and family who receive them will appreciate them. Thanks for sharing your photo.
