  1. Very nice, It's been a long time since I cut any 3d pieces. You may have given me incentive
  2. Nice work and I agree with Marg, I really like the napkin holders.
  3. I'm not sure of the US law, but here a photograph belongs to the photographer and is considered his/her work. So if you take a Photo of a Harley Davidson bike, or a Chev (We don't have Holdens any more) and the logo is visible, it's yours to do with as you want. Reproduce and sell as many as you like, make patterns from it etc etc. I have often wondered how this relates to drawings eg art, ???
  4. Great news Terry.
  5. John, (I have not made a clock in a few years) What I did was purchase a bulk lot of the 2 sizes of battery used and would drill a small hole in the base of the clock a place a spare battery in it, held in place with a piece of sticky tape. I have ordered a few clocks from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-style-Insert-watch-head-watch-movement-52mm-clock-parts-Arabic-number-5pcs-lot-Free-shipping/758077247.html?spm=2114.search0604.0.0.6dea3646bcTaOg They take an age to get here but they come from China just like all the others
  6. Nice stuff. I really like bowls 1 and 2.
  7. Larry, Inkjet will fade to greater or lesser degree depending upon the paper used. A quality photographic paper will see it fade no more than any other photo, however on plain paper in direct sunlight it will be quite noticeable after a number of years. I don't now about coloured laser printing. As for the spray sealer, there are a variety of types. If you use an oil based it may make the paper translucent and give it a yellowish tone, Lacquer won't but the 1st coat should be light as if you soak the paper the image will blur. There are also "fixatives" that are used by to stabilise chalk art and protect water based paintings etc. These work well.
  8. Thanks Marg, They vary with the Roo's being 75mm and the Rose at 40m
  9. Thanks Jim I really appreciate it mate.
  10. Jeff, I think I like the Rose best too. I was really impressed how the Oregon turned out.
  11. Thank you. I tend to use a roos quite a bit. It is extremely rare to find scroll saw patterns of items that represent Australia.
  12. Beaut job on the Big Glory Box Jokes aside, it is a great piece and will be cherished for years, I'm sure.
  13. I like the clocks Kevin. I like making them myself, but find they don't move to quickly here. A couple I placed pen holders on and they went quite well. nice work mate.
  14. G'day all, Just finished a few small boxes of various designs. They all have the interiors flocked. I used a FDUR #3 for the fret work, band saw and table saw to cut the outside and a Pegas #5 skip to cut the centres out of the oval boxes. The Rose box is made from Oregon, I have a dozen large timbers about 8' x 6" square. 2 have Jarrah bands
  15. I always seem to have about a half dozen things on the go. I'll start another while waiting for glue to go off, or for the lacquer or flocking to dry. And then thee's the shelf with all the great ideas, that are just waiting for another idea to come along to correct the 1st idea
  16. Super stuff Kev. They say variety is the spice of life.
  17. Really nice. The blue backer makes it POP.
  18. All I've got to say is Wow. Great job

    Earrings

    Definitely not showing my Daughter these. She makes jewellery and I can see someone wanting to share a machine or more than likely giving Dad orders on what to make Excellent job Wayne, The top set really pop.
  20. Love the way you've cut and mounted that. Super job.
  21. G'day all, The Missus bought be a pair of noise cancelling,blue-tooth, fm, mp3 playing earmuffs. for Father's day, {3rd Sept) I never posted previously as I wanted to give them a shot first. You can also answer you phone while wearing them, through the muffs. (I suspect this was the reason she bought them I'm always getting into strife for not answering my phone and my excuse usually is "I must have been down the shed, I was busy etc) They work exceptionally well, cutting the noise as much if not more than my standard earmuffs. Very noticeable when using the thicknesser. I also learnt a few new trick. my Son showed my how to dump my 500 song play list from the computer onto my phone. I can now listen to all my favourites while making as much noise as I like The phone is very clear when answering it vis the earmuffs, You can even have a laugh at the Little Chinese sheila telling you that "the Blue-a-tooth is-a very pale" (I'm also learning chinglish "The blue tooth signal is weak" Below is a link if you are interested in seeing what they look like and just what they do. https://www.bunnings.com.au/tactix-bluetooth-earmuffs_p5810828
  22. Very nicely cut, displayed and framed.
  23. Have a look here, http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/forum/28-bragging-rights/ there's a plethora of things you cab do with a scroll saw, from fretwork, Intarsia, boule work, inlays etc etc. However a scroll saw is only a tool and can't do any of these things by itself.
  24. Really nice cutting of a nice pattern.
  25. Great piece for your 1st try, your 100th is really going to be something worth seeing. Well done.
