    I looked at many of my project pictures and thought about what heroes means to me. The Corsair was flown by World War 2 heroes. This project was donated to a local veterans support group for a silent auction fundraiser. The eagle picture was made as a father's day gift for my hero, my dad.

    Welcome from south central PA

    I just checked mine. It is fine.

    There are lots of different styles and methods for baskets. I have tried several. A collapsible style is fairly easy once you get your tilt angle right. There are a wide variety of stacked ones ranging from easy to difficult. My personal favorite is sometimes listed as monroe dutcher style because they use less material and look more like actual woven baskets. I'm not sure if the patterns are still in publication for them.

    I got the fish patterns from the Wooden Teddy Bear collection. There are 2 separate sets with 6 different fish in each set. Patterns #RV101 & RV102

    I don't have a lot of projects that I consider outdoors, but I made the 2 fish ornaments for some fishing friends and a lighthouse to remind me of fun times relaxing at the beach.

    There are several sizes available online. I use 1-7/16" in my Christmas ornaments that fit a 1-3/8" hole. Wooden Teddy Bear is the best price that I found.

    I don't do too many flowers, but I found a few. Jewelry boxes for great nieces and a basket of flowers for Mother's Day. The rose is a Steve Good pattern. The hummingbird is from Sheila Landry.

    When I first saw the color challenge, I was thinking that I don't do much with color. After I looked through my files, I was surprised to see that I did more than I thought.

    I consider myself a scroller too. I have made a few furniture pieces over the years. Due to space limitations I still do some smaller woodworking projects, but 90% of my woodworking is scrolling. I like many kinds of scrollsaw projects, but my specialties are ornaments, baskets, and fancy firewood.

    I'm not familiar with the RBI setup, but I started with an old Craftsman saw that had a lower blade holder that would fly off when the blade broke. It had a small hole in the holder. I used fishing line to attach it to my stand. It was much easier to find on the end of the line than crawling all over the floor looking for it.

    I drew a pattern from one of the stained glass windows at our church. I didn't do the entire window, but each one has a different symbol in the middle. I picked the easiest design to start with. Maybe someday I'll get the other seven windows done! I made them as ornaments for several friends from church.

    I made 2 of the P51 airplane clocks, one for my WW2 veteran dad for Father's Day several years ago, and one for my son when he graduated for aviation mechanics school. The pig clock was given to a farmer friend.

    The box was a birthday gift for my wife and the ornament was an anniversary gift a few years ago. Both are Steve Good patterns.

    I have done several Christmas ornaments through the years from Steve's patterns. I adjust them to approximately 3" wide and cut them from 1/4" cherry.

    The frame is a gift for my son. I usually make at least 40-60 ornaments for family and friends. The frame and dove are Steve Good patterns.

    I made this napkin basket for as a gift for my wife a few years ago. She usually receives many compliments on it when we have guests.
