  1. Nice patterns and very well cut! I thought that I was looking in a mirror for a minute.
  2. "Oh ya?", "well my Dad is bigger than your Dad!" I love it.
  3. It looks like UHMW.
  4. I use this one, very similar to the one new2woodwrk posted. https://www.amazon.com/Wixey-WR300-Type-Digital-Backlight/dp/B00T6YZ0K6/ref=pd_sbs_1/144-3754990-2617927?pd_rd_w=S2oLQ&pf_rd_p=c6f9e951-390f-460a-badd-ad329bcd73f1&pf_rd_r=8XQN3MQF1VM768CY8T1Y&pd_rd_r=03f07214-23c4-44a6-950a-75229137169a&pd_rd_wg=vt71N&pd_rd_i=B00T6YZ0K6&psc=1
  5. Dick, I very much appreciate your words, thank you!
  6. Thanks! My wife has about 4 books of construction paper. Each book has several shades of blues, greens, oranges, and reds. I tried every shade. The blues and oranges were considerations.
  7. Much appreciated, thank you!
  8. Thanks for the compliment.
  9. I didn't use stain,, I used a torch and went over it with a flame.
  10. I'll probably cut this one a few more times and can play around with it. I love burning ****! LOL
  11. I appreciate it!
  12. Thank ya!
  13. My addition to this Birds thread...
  14. These are Sue Mey patterns that I slightly modified. They both are about 13" wide by 10" tall. Cut from 1/8" BB ply with a 1/4" BB ply as the backer. Cut entirely with a FD spiral blade. I like the one with the black backer a bit better, it stands out a little better. I looked online for a western sunset that I could print out and use as a background but I didn't like the look of them as much as I liked the idea of them.
  15. Super nice! Great actor also.
  16. Cool looking frame.
  17. Nice! Much more detailed than the one that I cut
  18. Welcome to the "Cool" side! Pun intended. I've had a/c in my shop for several years. Bought a new, bigger unit last year.. much better now. My shop is 12' x 22' but I only cool 12' x 14' of it. I have the walls and ceiling insulated half-ass and a thick clear shower curtain separating the cool side from the non-cooled side. You may laugh but it works very well. I also have an oscillating 18" fan going. I can get the cool side down to 65°! Makes it much easier to work when you are comfortable. I see the open gable vents in your shed,, do you get lots of wasps in there? On the "hot" side of my shop I installed a 4' wide corrugated metal roll up door. I'm guessing that's how wasps get in my shop. My paddle that I made to lay patterns on when I spray the backside of them with 3M77 doubles as a big wasp swatter!
  19. Nice! How many times did you blink while cutting it? LoL
  20. Wow, really cool looking!
  21. Thanks everyone! Now that I have several pieces completed with a spiral I may attempt a portrait of my Dad who passed away in 2013. Mahendra made me an awesome pattern of him a while back.
  22. He made me a lot of money in my 401K, lets see if he can make me a little more money tomorrow at a market. LOL. I stacked cut 2, 1/8" BB ply with a 2/0 FD spiral. I'm starting to feel comfortable now with spirals, took a while though! I used 1/4" BB ply as the backers. Finished size is 11" x 14". Haven't set up at a market for a couple of years. Taking some pens and key chains made on the lathe and some scrollsaw items. Also some other items that I have been making. Btw, I posted this for your enjoyment and thoughts as a scrollsaw piece, not as a political piece.
