  1. Old Joe .. I am just putting up mine .. yours was an inspiration - and - I made mine to give to a friend that LOVES guitars like I do. They look awfully close to yours .. hahahaha .. I didn't do the heart thing, yet .. as I was making them gifts .. However - it's coming - and now I'm thinking .. I will send a picture of that one to Danny Sorentino when I finish it - he has a song from The Sorentinos .. I LOVE GUITARS ..
  2. I was JUST THINKING today about doing those .. man .. those look good .. I'm a HUGE HEART FAN .. so .. I thought about making the pick in the shape of a heart .. and .. the choice of woods - well - that REALLY makes 'em !
  3. As a retired coasty .. I love all things lighthouse and dealing with the sea .. great looking piece !
  4. Beautiful. Growing up in San Diego - you HAD to have one of these. I didn't. But I had friends that did. I see what you mean my fill paint. Interesting. I'll have to remember that. Would never have noticed it unless you told Rocky about it.
  5. Great detail - I'd be proud to hang that .. and the frame is just fine .. hahahaha
  6. WOW .. that's great !!!!
  7. Oh my !!! I've been thinking of this .. Not exactly sure on how to make those or where to get those clocks to fit in there .. My son just got a pay raise - promotion - and spent it on a Ford Shelby GT. OYE. Dealership was BLOWING them out. So - he took advantage of it. I would LOVE to make one of those for him !!! I'll have to look and see if I can find a pattern for that or something. Man - what inspiration !!! and GREAT work !!!!!
  8. I've watched ALL of your videos .. I think .. I can't wait to watch this one .. One day get good enough to make one of your puzzles !
  9. I LOVE that one !!! And it's true .. that tail NEVER lies.
  10. So - I got me a scroll saw. But - being OCD - I got FOUR of 'em. An RBI HAWK, DREMEL, RIDGID and a Pegas. Then I set out to see what I could do. I Disc Golf, a bit, and we all compete for "BAG TAGS". They are about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter - so - I knew I would have to get small. I looked at all of your pictures - watched hours and hours of videos. Read countless hours. Then - got to work on some stuff on the RBI. Sold the Dremel without even taking it out and powering it up. And the Ridgid just sits there collecting dust. So - RBI and Pegas seem to be my tools of choice. So - We have a little group of us that play together in the hills of Sonoma County, California. Very nice place. If you're over 60 - you're in the HOGS. "happy ole guys of sonoma". Most of us are pushing 70. And we have a few in the 40-60's playing with us. Got me some scrap wood. Wood Flooring left overs, book cases I could knock apart, bed headboards, things friends had hanging around that they couldn't fit in the garbage cans and didn't want to make a dump run with. Those things that they put around the good wood when transporting them to the lumber yards so the banding won't scar the good wood, it's either throw 'em away or give 'em to Gus. And I tried my hand at the scroll saw. Finally. I didn't like some of the patterns I saw - like YODA. So - after watching more and more hours of video - I attempted and came up with my version of Yoda, which I shared here. I'm working on Josey Wales now. That one's taking a long time. And made one of my Grandkids Daddy - looks just like him - using some of Steve Goods patterns for Fathers Day. Anyway .. here are a couple that I've made. That I like - and - I'm going to attempt a logo type of thing for a friend of mine that makes me some special lures that seem to catch fish all the time. Any fish, any where. Thanks for looking and .. any criticism is greatly appreciated ... oooo just got a text - someone has a SOLID CEDAR HEADBOARD they want to give to me. Okay .. Oh .. and the tags ? They sell for 20-40 bucks apiece. The one with the guy on it throwing a disc - looks just like Dave - that was 40 bucks. 4 inches out of scrap flooring.
  11. Very nice .. I will watch the video a bit later .. I can't wait to see how you made this .. LIVE ..
  12. Love the Patriots .. I guess .. never thought I was a fan - then - someone mentioned that "Hey .. you know EVERYONE of the players on the Patriots .. but .. you're a 49'er fan .. and .. cannot name more than 5 of those guys ... " .... I guess I'm a Patriot Fan after all .. Nice work !
  13. That's BAD !!!! And if ya haven't watched the series .. you should .. it's pretty darned good ...
  14. That is great !!! Where's that pattern ? I wanna try that .... ... no way I could possibly do it the justice you did it ..
