  1. The image isn't showing up on my end Dick.
  2. Beautiful.
  3. I know the feeling. I made a portrait of the little girl next door. When I gave it to her she handed it back and said, "You can keep it."
  4. John Prine wrote a wonderful song about aging, "Hello In There" when he was 22. It's probably my favorite of his many songs.
  5. Nice job on all 4!
  6. Cute puzzles! Lucky grandson.
  7. Happy looking projects! I'm partial to the alligator!
  8. Thanks Ralph. I love cutting with oak. This piece is about 7" X 9". One plus is not having to frame it.
  9. Yes, I did use Cute Cutter on this.
  10. Did a portrait of my sister. She likes it so I guess it's a win. 1/2" red oak.
  11. Thanks Dick. It’s kind of hit and miss on this site depending on the picture. Some translate into a pattern better than others. It’s a lot of fun playing around with the different setting trying to get it right though. I spent hours on it today and came up with some decent patterns of family members. I really like this one of my sister though I’ll have to do a little work to make it scrollable.
  12. I found a new website called Cute Cutter. It's primarily for making patterns for vinyl cutting machines but I've had fun playing around with it and made this simple pattern of my grandson. Although it's a free sight you can donate if you want to. Well worth it.
  13. Very nice looking work!
  14. Nice job getting outside the box. I especially like the ornament.
  15. That looks fantastic! Do you add the colors or is the resin pre-colored. Looks like some of it is metallic.
  16. Looks great. And I fully agree with your statement above. If I sell something the joy lasts about as long as it takes me to spend the money.
  17. Great looking plane!
  18. Love it! You may get requests from coworkers now.
  19. Looks like a happy place to me!
  20. Thanks Joe. I used a free program I found called Cute Cutter. You can Google it. I think it's primarily for making patterns for the Cricut vinyl cutting machines. It's fun to play with anyway. I was able to play around with it and get something close and then clean it up a little in Paint 3D. It was still a bit of a rough draft when I glued it on the wood. This is what I used as a pattern.
  21. Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins. One of my favorite pieces so far. I love the Lord Of The Rings movies and I think this quote pretty well sums up the moral of the movies. Not a bad quote to live by. The symbol under the quote is a symbol J R R Tolkien made up. It is made up of his 4 initials. The cutting is 9" X 11"-1/2" red oak with some mystery pallet wood I glued together and planed for the backer. I nearly wrecked it a few times including a piece that broke off, that I was able to glue back. And worst of all, I put it in my chair while I was working on the backer, and sat on it. Can't believe it survived. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6C8SX0mWP0
  22. Great job and excellent painting!
  23. Nice job!
  24. Beautiful job. The pattern is excellent also, very lifelike.
  25. Thanks. I started by stack cutting two pieces of 3/8” red oak so there’s an oak backer everywhere except for where it is cut out around the horse.
