    No, but I see it. I've wanted to cut one of him. Wish someone would do a group pattern of the Walton family.
  2. Charlie E
    Not him.

    Same lined forehead, but no.

    @lawson56 and @new2woodwrk guessed correctly in the comments!!! Sorry if these are annoying. Do you recognize this character lined actor's face? I'll update when I finish.

    Also, not really on the same topic, but if you're not using a magnifying light I highly recommend one. I got a cheap one from Harbor Freight thinking I'd just use it for intricate stuff and now I don't cut anything without it. Differing opinions on this I'm sure but I love mine.

    Sometimes it's just bad luck. I'm no expert and I break stuff all the time, but there are a couple of things I do. If a pattern is drawn with something that seems unnecessarily flimsy I alter it to make it stronger. Add a bridge, widen a small bridge. If you're cutting something that's going to be very fragile there is usually a better side to cut first if that makes sense. An example would be this lower case e. If you start cutting with the inside line rather that the outside you stand a much better chance of not breaking the fragile part held by the tiny bridge. I'd probably also make the bridge a bit larger too. I'll sacrifice a little on looks to decrease my chances of breaking something. Especially as I get closer to finishing. Probably stuff you already know.

    Nice job and way to jump in with both feet!

    Little pieces like that come flying off solid wood as well. Maybe even more so. Cool looking ants.

    I like all of that. Great job! Very versatile tool we use.

    Finished The Rifleman Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford as Lucas and Mark McCain. Loved this show growing up. Chuck Connors played Major League Baseball with the Cubs, played in the NBA with the Boston Celtics, and had a successful acting career. Don't you just hate people like that. 1/2" Red Oak with wormy Black Walnut backer.

    Looks great. Inlay is always impressive.

    Amazing work, as always. Your precision is next level! Plus, and I think best, your work is just fun to look at!

    Love custom patterns! Great job cutting Kevin!
  18. Charlie E
    He definitely went above and beyond on that pattern. Great job cutting as well. Very nice project!
  19. Charlie E
    Very nice cutting. That would keep me occupied for several days! Love to see the finished product.
  20. Charlie E
    Nice job! Great choice of colors.
  21. Charlie E
    Very cool! I think it would look cool with just the clock hands and no numbers. Wouldn't be the easiest to read timepiece but that's not really the point. You probably have a source but I have ordered from clockworks.com Nice job.
  22. Charlie E
    Looks good! I'm with you on needing easy and fun from time to time!

    Thank you so much! Oak is my favorite wood to work with. I've gotten used to the resistance it gives so I'm much more comfortable cutting it that thinner plywood. I used FDUR #1 blades.
