When I got back into woodworking about 5 years ago, I bought a new Porter Cable Scroll Saw. I made some decent stuff with it. Only reason why I stepped up to a Dewalt is because the PC started to make a noise every now and then. At the time it was $179. I know that a few others on here had a Porter Cable in the past.
I made one of these a few weeks ago for a co-worker. Another co-worker saw it and asked that I make one for his daughter who will be getting married soon.
The security guard at my job also requested one to give to his wife of 43 years. He asked for a backer on it like the one I made a few weeks ago. The one above was requested without a backer. The customer gets what they want!
LOL, I used to go all out for Halloween. I would actually build a little haunted house coming off of my two car garage and go out about 20'. I had a fence gate as the front door with a refrigerator door switch on it. Door opens and some lights would come on, door shuts once you are inside and the lights would go off. Lots of scary stuff inside brushing up against you. An air nozzle hooked to a compressor in the back yard scares the heck out of people when you blow air towards them.
A few weeks ago I posted a pic of 3 cutout copies of a "Sisters" tattoo that my wife and her sister got. The lady that cuts my hair wanted a couple for her and her sister. Like the first three, the frames are store bought.
Well, I'm gonna break the rules right off of the bat. Made a couple of these last year for the wife and daughter.
Also made this huge thing a couple of Halloween's ago. 6' tall and 12' long.
I have several of your patterns on my "to order" list. I have just not gotten around to ordering them,, this one will be ordered tomorrow! Thanks
BTW, what kind of glue do you use to do your glue-up's?
I live about 25 miles from Leesburg. I also stamp my pieces that I make. Some of those pieces have made their way back "home" to Illinois. So I can understand how that could happen. Pretty cool.
