    Fantastic job on your cutting! I know he will like it.

    I have bought a few of Charles patterns and my favorites are the 54 and 57 Studebakers. They have great detail and were fun and challenging to cut. Have looked around and have not seen them on Woodvisions.com site. He may have stopped selling them.

    I did upgrade to 2 "D" batteries. It slowed it down but they still go down fast.

    You did a really great job. They can be fun to cut. I made several for my relatives. I may have added too many lights. They had 20 lites and they would suck down 2 AA batteries in no time. Ohm who?

    Trading in the Lincoln? Ha! Surgery not bad at all.

    Thanks for the compliment. Shots in the eyeball! yikes! Good to hear it all works now. Cataract surgery is a hohum compared to what you must have gone through.

    Always thought the Auburn 851/2 Boattail Speedster was an impressive looking car. The car was not in production for very long but because the design was so unique many reproductions were made in the '70's. I did my pixel pecking on MS paint 3 again and it took several days. The cutting took about 3 days since I only have one good eye until the other one is done next week. (FYI, there is a difference in both contrast and color. Undone eye has a more brownish tint like wearing brown sunglasses) Material was 1/8" BB with 1/4" backer. 17" x 10.5", Shellac/lacquer finish. I'll be holding off on any project until a week after my 2nd cataract eye surgery. Car, airplane, portrait or box, not sure yet.

    O'Vell! Looks pretty good to me! Nice job.

    Dick, you did a phenomenal job. I am totally impressed with the Mitchell text. I'm looking forward to what you do next. When my eyes are done, I'll be starting an Auburn Boattail.

    Great pattern, Great job! Working on a Boattail.

    I AM SOOO IMPRESSED! You do beautiful work!

    I do tend to cut in either direction but as mentioned before, it depends on the pattern. I do favor the waste side so I can revisit the cut is I am slightly off the line. I have also noticed that blades are more aggressive on one side than the other and the aggressive side will follow the line better.

    Another project for my B-I-L. His dad used to fly a B-25 in WWII. He set up a memorial stand with a folded flag and pictures. Cutting went fast, design, not so fast. Had to go to the copy store twice since the first one was too small. 19.5" x 12" final size. 1/8" BBPW on 1/4" backer. Time to give my eyes a rest for a while.

    Thanks Dick, Need to get the B-25 done before Thursday. Analysis then and surgery probably the next week. I should have it finished by late tomorrow. I'll post.

    With winter dragging on, I needed to do a beach scene to remind me of warmer weather. 1/8" BBPW on 1/4" backer. Finish, shellac and lacquer. Back to aircraft, a B-25. Need to get it done before my cataract surgery in a few weeks.

    Awesome job!

    Back in the day, I used a lot of aviation bits. They were longer than usual. Because they were cheap, we would ground them down to fit the job.

    BTW, Things can get pretty floppy with all the cutouts. Stick them back in and blue tape them back in place and orbital sand them from the back... No fuzz when done. I contact spray the back of the cutting, and a bead of CA glue on the edges {and small weak parts} and mount on the painted (acrylic) backing. I have 2 Pieces of tempered glass and wedge together with some 15# weights and let it dry for a while. All good!

    It's a nice pattern but it takes time. 2 days of cutting. ( it was cold in the garage) It's worth ordering. Oh yeah, Lots of blade changes but the pine branches were a pain. I'm better on straight lines.!

    Finished the Alex Fox pattern of Barn and Pickup for my B-I-L. He should get it in a few days. The pickup and Barn cutting was not too bad but the blade pulls for the bushes and the meandering lines for the pine trees got to be a little tedious. Lots of traveling with the blade(s). I used a 2.0 puzzle blade and went through 8 to finish. They are very fine and wear out pretty fast but I can make some sharp turns. 10.5 x 14 1/8" BBPW on 1/4" backer. Shellac/Lacquer finish.
