  1. Very nice! Great thing for a dad to tell his daughter. And yes, the reading is a great thing. I have kids from 15 to 33. My 15 year old has always been a crazy reader. She took her ACT last summer, before she started 9th grade, and made a 31. Lots smarter than dad!
  2. Wow, great job on that! I got to go to a game at Fenway Park. I'm more of a Brave's fan but I was pulling for Boston in the series.
  3. Very nice stuff! I like all of those patterns. My favorite is the top one. Love the song too.
  4. Great job. And that quarter sawn lumber is beautiful.
  5. Thank you Richard! I do like portraits better around the 5 X 7 size. To me they just look better, and I can fit more on my shop wall. I hope to have lots of old cowboys before I'm through.
  6. Dang! That is some great work. Lots of fragile stuff there. So lifelike my nose and eyes are itching! What size is it?
  7. Very fun! My grandson would like those!
  8. Thank you so much! There are some advantages to never growing up I suppose.
  9. Sorry about the slip up. Believe me, I know how you feel. Looking good up till then. Nice looking piece of wood too.
  10. Had an enjoyable afternoon in the shop with an old friend. He'll live on the cowboy wall in my shop. Gunsmoke and Bonanza make me think of my daddy. Thanks to @wild bill for a super pattern.
  11. Cool portrait! I like it.
  12. You did an awesome job on that. I'm going to give it a try, even if it stays on my shop wall. What size is yours?
  13. Such a great job on that! They'll love it. "This is Halloween, this is Halloween"
  14. Thanks everybody! It' fun to personalize a piece isn't it? I didn't glue the backer in case more little birds hatch.
  15. Just made this for an old friend. She saw something similar I had made and asked if I could make her one with birds representing her, her four daughters and their children. I found some clip art birds I liked and my talented 15 year old daughter drew the tree and grouped them by families.
  16. That's an heirloom for sure!
  17. That's beautiful Dave.
  18. Thank you so much for the kind words. I hope you are right!!!
  19. Thank you! The top of the board has a live edge.
  20. I love those. Seems to me that would take more natural ability than scrolling. I mean I can't draw a decent looking Santa so I wouldn't think that I could carve one.
  21. Well thank you very much! I think I'm enjoying it as much as my grandson. There's 9 more school days till Halloween so wish me luck.
  22. I see we share a birthday. Hope yours is great!

      Pretty normal day. Kept the grandkids. Set up my grandson's skeleton display for the day. If you haven't seen it, look up my pictures on this month's Scroll Saw Challenge, it'll explain that last sentence. We did go eat supper at Stevie B's Pizza. It's a pizza buffet that has things like Loaded Baked Potato Pizza, Taco Pizza, Hot wing Pizza, Bacon Egg and Cheese Pizza, etc. I picked that mostly because my 15 year old daughter loves to eat there. Well, Happy Birthday again! Enjoy the fam Saturday.

      Oh wow that sounds like the perfect pizza place.  Never heard of any of those toppings here in Australia.

       

  23. I'm not entering this as part of the Challenge but it seemed an appropriate place to share it. My grandson is a huge Halloween fan. He did some chores for his parents and me so he could buy a $10 skeleton, he pronounces it skellington. I've been setting it up in his front yard doing something different each day while he is at kindergarten. I'm going to try to continue till the 31st. I did use my scroll saw on the skeleton fish you'll see in one picture! I borrowed his cousin's skeleton, not his actual skeleton you understand, and added his skelly-dog for a few. j
  24. I like it! Comments on a Snowperson's gender identity should be avoided.
  25. Thanks for the explanation. I had wondered about it myself. Very impressive. It's been said but your work is always fun to see. I really like the piece you show in your explanation!
