Thanks for doing Travis. Look forward to checking them out. Sorry I was unable to help out this year.

Beautiful work all around. I really like the tool box and your God box.

Nice. You can watch sports while you scroll.

Frank, nice work on your lab and all your other many projects you have been sharing. It’s not a “pester” to see your projects. I’ve been having to live vicariously as far as cutting and completing projects through all of you for many months now. Enjoy your holidays, Thanksgiving with your daughter and son-in-law and the cruise to follow. Cookie exchange with neighbors and giving them your ornaments should go over well. Then a trip to Branson for the Christmas week should round out your adventures well and you will look forward to some “down time” in your shop I am sure. Happy holidays to you and yours .

Thanks for finding it Dan. With the tag words you found he used, I found his blog post from when he posted them (I always like to find his blog post for an item) here: https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2021/09/christmas-decorations-scroll-saw.html

I just checked the pattern library here in the Village and didn’t see it there.

Excellent pieces Pete. Now you know, we need to see the one that is missing, that is pretty special and then need to know why?

Lots of beautiful work that took lots of time is displayed there Dan. So glad you pr sales were so good for you. Perhaps being at the back was a good thing, by the time they got back to you, they had done all their “window shopping,” knew they had seen everything and knew you had the best so they were ready to buy. Congratulations on selling those two big price point items.

Stunning piece. Can’t imagine making one, much less 5 of them even f over the years.

Congratulations and I’m sure your wife was quite conflicted about it. are you going to make another one for her?

Nice work Frank.

I took Intarsia classes from Judy Gale Roberts. She uses a light duty double sided carpet tape for sanding shims, temporary holds needed so that is what I learned to use. It works well. Any stronger than light duty band it’s hard to get parts back apart.

Yes, it has been quite the. “Adventure” he’s now about 3 1/2 weeks out from his surgeries and has had the stitches removed from both feet as of last FRI. He’s doing pretty good and has adjusted pretty well to the wheelchair and both feet and lower legs in casts now. He’s been working on carving, playing guitar, shop layout plans, and remodel plans for the house. He’s in good spirits and says he doesn’t miss work at all. I did get the scrollsaw with the Festool up and running last week but I need to get a top dust port setup like you guys have done. Right now, I just have the Festool under the bottom. I cut out a turtle that I wanted to carve. It was nice to do something even if it was just a quick cut.

Hey Barb, thanks for asking, all said, we are doing ok now. We lost the last of our parents when my FIL passed away in mid-March just a few months before his 96th birthday. We ended up deciding unexpectedly to downsize and buy DH family home he grew up in. Plan to build separate workshop and remodel the 56 year old house. We spent several months getting our house we had built 18 years ago cleaned up and out, painted inside and out and decluttered to put on mkt. Got it sold, then moved and closed on purchase of family home all over period of about 4-5 months. He still works full time so I did what I could during the days and then he helped evenings and weekends. Was a long summer. Two weeks after we moved and two days after we closed on purchase, on Sun., Oct. 1st, he was on an A frame ladder trimming tree branches on a large walnut tree. A larger sized branch hit the ground and bounced up and back and took him off the ladder. He ended up with severe heel fractures on both of his feet. Doctor told him he smashed one, and really smashed the other. Then he got pneumonia so they couldn’t do surgery for about 2 1/2 weeks after accident. Fortunately it was an electric chainsaw (gas one was acting up and not working correctly so he switched to electric one). Electric fortunately quit running when he released it and he also was able to throw it away from himself. He’s now a little over 2 weeks out from two significant surgeries on his heels to repair and rebuild them. He is doing well all things considered but he is non-weight bearing on his feet until after the first of the year which means he is in a wheelchair with full lower leg casts for several weeks more. No PT for about two months. Out of work for at least 3+ months. He’s doing well and on road to recovery and we are adapting. Had his two week checkup since surgery last Fri. and so far looks like healing well which is good as feet can be an issue with healing. Stitches out of one, still in one for at least another week. We are thankful it was not worse, no other damage to anywhere else, didnt hurt ankles, just his heels, didn’t hit his head, hurt his back, knees or hips or worse. He’s not one to sit around so that is hard on him, he’s been finding things to do while sitting including playing guitar, piano and carving. All the workshop tools are all packed and stored away unfortunately for the most part so he can’t do much there. I had previously decided to try and make my saw useable in the basement when we moved which is what I got the Festool for portable dust collection. I think we bought it the week or maybe the day or two before the accident and hadn’t gotten it setup. We’ll get there. But that is why I haven’t done anything with my saw in at least 8 months! I have however tried to come here regularly and keep up with what the rest of you are doing. it has helped me mentally but it’s also why I’ve mainly simply been. “liking” posts rather than making many comments.

Keep sharing these ideas and mods folks. I’m going to show hubby so he can get me figured out with my saw and portable Festool I did end up getting once we moved. Unfortunately, we’ve had a significant life event get in the way of getting it all setup yet. We’ll get there though.

You can find link posted by Larry earlier in thread. It takes you to the pattern which is in the library here in the Village.

Another Tennessee welcome to the Village.

My husband has always said one can never have enough clamps

Welcome to the Village from Tennessee.

I know nothing about the book or any others by this company. However, in answer to your question on if Rolf is correct, I would tell you Rolf is of German lineage and has stated before he understands the language so I would trust he knows what the cover says. I selected the one term that says “2 mit Vorlagenbogen“ and did translate and it indicated it states “two template sheets.”

Here is link to pattern on Steve’s blog - goes back away in time https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2015/06/butterfly-girl-scroll-saw-pattern.html Nice work on your’s Jimmy.

@Zoot Fenster thanks for showing some more photos. Like Larry, I think it looks like a good idea, especially for me as I look for a temporary dust collection system to use as I make some equipment more portable when we move soon and I await new shop space to be built.

Could you show a picture of it attached to your saw?

Looks like you will have one happy wife. Beautiful work on the necklace.
