  1. A nice pattern and cutting. I think Sammy's version is the best.
  2. Ripper piece Denny. I must give these type of puzzles a shot later, Great stuff mate.
  3. Nice looking frames. the 8 sided one really catches the eye.
  4. Welcome Alexander, I know how much of a struggle it can be making that 1st move. You have started with a bang mate. A couple of excellent cuttings.
  5. Thanks Kev, Reckon we'd have to make the best of a bad situation mate
  6. Just like his maker thanks Marg
  7. @rdatelleRalph and @TomanydogsIrene thanks heaps. I do like some colour. I think it makes the puzzles a lot more appealing. The google eyes make a humorous impression, I use them on almost all of my puzzles. Not sure if the parents or the kids like them more
  8. Thanks Brenda, My wife loves him, so does my daughter, so the consensus is I have to make more for the next markets.
  9. One of the best looking cribbage boards I have seen. I've had some ideas for boards, but could never get my head around the game.
  10. A nice way to remember a lost mate Gary. Ginger cats, especially ginger toms are the best.
  11. Top Shelf Barb. I bet you had as much making them as the nippers will do playing with them. I love making and painting puzzles.
  12. Top Stuff, "Lest We Forget"
  13. Gotta agree with you Gary. I thought the 2nd posting was in very back handed. Great job on pattern by Heldas. He sure does some nice patterns JFYI, It is compulsory to vote if you are over 18 and an Australian Citizen in Oz. You get a stiff fine if you do not. This is for all State and Federal Elections. May the best man win mate.
  14. G'day all, I have about 20 stand up puzzles in various stages of completion. This is a new one. I think I have shown the other designs at various times. He is 230 x 170 x 30mm. I scanned the pattern from a book I have, many years ago, can't remember the name of book off hand.
  15. A Pegas. I have only heard good stuff about them and as they are based up[on the EX21 which I have had for many years, I don't think I could go wrong.
  16. You can get some fantastic colours of melamine laminated MDF. I can't help you with US suppliers but in OZ we can get all thickness's from 3mm - 35mm. I would not cut it with a reverse tooth blade as it may chip, and the Melamine will be tough on blades. I have cut some and it has turned out nice and unique. FYI MDF has the safety handing recomendations as solid timber, treat it the same and all will be good.
  17. Nice cutting. This is one of those where I think I'd do almost the whole thing with spirals.
  18. I put a lot of time and effort into making a downdraught sanding box to fit on my bench and connect to the dust collector. a few years ago. To be quite honest,it was a waste of time and effort. I have a Bosh, Ryobi and AEG ROS and a Dewalt and Bosh palm sander. I keep empty the bags on them quite often and then blow the bag out along with the machine with my compressor. Very minimal dust.
  19. Beautiful toys that will last generations and give a lifetime of smiles.
  20. That's a bloody strong bench
  21. Fretwork all the way mate. More detail and shows the scrollers skill.

    Very nice Brenda, and I am sure that any petrol head would adore it. I know what you mean by "Short arm syndrome" or maybe in my case it's "Big Belly", because it always gets in the way when cutting large pieces, hence another reason I don't sit
  23. ONYA Barb
  24. Ripper job on both cutting the frame and the subject.
  25. Beautiful work Brenda. Some very fine pieces there.
