Dragonkort

those look great!!! who ever gets them will have lots of fun playing with them or putting it on a shealf

perfectly amazine!! im sure she will love it!!! and unlike the flowers you got her in past years this boque will last a live time!!! great work!! so far 2 of my kids have called to wish me a happy mothers day, and my son told me theres a present comming in the mail...my youngest daughter called to but i didnt exect anything from her as she is layed off from work and still paying off her collage bills while trying to keep things going ... just one more child to go and am hoping to hear from my oldest daughter before the day is done

i must say i agree with everyone else it looks great to me!! and as was already said we can be our worse cirtics... but if its not up to snuff to you you can try to fix it or you could give it to good will or hospic where people who cant afford to buy things like that could get it at a much lower price... just a thought for what its worth.

that is just beautful!! all of you people do such wounderful projects!!!

I have got to go see if I can find that dog pattern

those look great!!!

that is fantastic!!! and simply beautiful!!! now that I know why so many of my fretwork projects keep breaking and how to correct the problem Im thiking after I really get back into the swing of things I might just try to do something that spectular !!

wow those look great!!

oh that is so beautiful namunolie!!! with these kinds of pictures it just might give me the motivevation I need to actuall take that class!! lol

oh that is so cool!!! beautiful workmanship!!! I inhearted my exs lath when he died, and he had all kinds of blanks for pen making and some small tool I think you use to put it together...iv seen small laths for making pens and often wounder if they can be made on a big lath? I don't know if he got the big lath for big things and then died before he could get the smaller lath for pen making. iv bought a book on the lath but so far I need to get some kind of square wood that I can practice turning on. lol I have a lot of the lath chisles too im thinking of maybe trying to take a lath class at johnsons work bench over the summer if they have one this year and if I can manage to get out of the house lol but if not i'll just keep reading my book and try to learn it that way lol but im rattleing here sorry its just such a great looking pen it makes me want to go out play with the lath!!

that's a great puzzle!!! unfrountly I cant tell you if you've made a mastake or not lol its been a very very long time since I was in school !!! lol

well for some reason the bird picture didn't get into the last post so here it is for you see lol and just for the heak of it I put up a picture of a beginers cat pencle holder notpad holder .

well its been a good and productive day!! the birds in bird cages are finished and being polyurthined, I also put my face picture and spikes face picture in the dewalt scroll saw arm holders from steve good and then I painted those to. as I always told my children when they were little and would run out of the bathroom after there baths THIS IS NOT A NUDIEST COLINE!! LOL it wasnt so bad when I caught them while they were still in the house but every now and then one or the other of them would get outside lol I laugh now when I think about it, the vision of me with a towl in my hands running down the sidewalk yelling this is NOT a nudest coline!! lol as I chased a small nakied boy or girl down the sidewalk lol anyway I took some pictures of these but they didn't come out very well. I will have spike take pictures of them for me after there all dired. lol in the mean time you can look at these. the first on is a bear door holder I put a scarf on him as im sure he gets cold standing on that snow lol then theres the abc puzzle now this next one is a bird puppet... I have the same pattern in crochet.. I made a crochet one for all my kids when they were little and then never made any more after that because they took so long to make lol and of course I still have the crochet pattern but when I saw this scroll saw puppet set I was so happy!! lol only took a day or so to make and then only because I never work on anything for more then half an hour or so. the kids just love them and so do a lot of adults lol someday i'll make one for me lol but every time anyone sees one they ask can I have it?? lol and there gos my little birdie lol next time I make one for me im hiding it when someone comes to visit!! and then of course there the little bird pen holder. I made a lot of different pen holders for awhile … i'll have to see if I can find a place to orderthe pen holder part again before I make any more. hum for some reason theres 2 pictures of the puzzle!! lol and it wont let me delete one of them for some reason so I guess you ll have to just see it twice lol well im off to get something to eat everybody have a great day!!

congradulations on your new workshop!!! and i love your work!!

i agree there wounderful!!

fantastic work!! I love stack cutting and do it any time im making something with thin wood. the great thing about stack cutting is you cann make several of the same pattern while just cutting once!! lol the bad thing about stack cutting is if you make a mastake or just mess up the project you make the mastake or mess up on all the projects your cutting ol

fantastic!!

super nice project and cutting

all i can say is WOW!!!

i like both too but my favorit is the butterfly lol

lol i collect dragons myself... lol i'll try to get a picture of the dragon shelf i made soon...its hanging up in the livingroom... its one of the first things i made when i started scrolling again after my divorce... my mom knew i was going to be alright when i finally started singing and doing crafts again. lol and it only took about 3 years lol so of course im always looking for dragon patterns. iv always wanted to make a dragon to hold my mail box.... there are times when its a pain in the butt not being able to make my own patterns....humm i wounder if someone here could make me a pattern i could inlarge big enough to put a mail box on or in... maybe a dragon with its arms outstreached to hold the mail box or perhaps makingone that someone could design where the mail box would be the head and somehow have the door look like fire...and youd have to open the mail box by the fire...humm might have to put that in the patterns request section.. lol i have a dragon planter i made too..but i have to fix it, one of the feet came off it when we moved here. just one more thing on my list lol

well heres some pictures of some stuff iv made. the first one is just a heart box I made...I put red felt on the bottom inside and then tried to inlay the rose. then theres the 2 welcome butterflys...I stacked cut them on 2 different shades of Baltic burch then just switched the insides parts of each, somewhere or another I found a piece of hard wood so I took my book on making these kind of bowls and made the little dinosaur one. I had fun cutting that one out...now I just have to wait for some more hard wood to fall into my lap so I can another one. lol like I said I have a whole book of these kinds of bowls the next one is a combound cut dragon holding a little plastic purple heart..and last but not least my cute little layered angle pig. I cut out the pig and the looked in my craft room for wings lol there a gold kind of thin metal and all I had to do was glue them on lol well I guess my breaks over so I should get back to doing something around here lol

hum i'llhave to see if spike can get me some western cedar, in various shades of course I wounder if the lumber yards are opened. I always love learning new things lol

oh!! well I suspected it was a different langue!! Im always impressed with people who can speak more then one langue , I have enough trouble with English!! lol when my son was in firsr grade we got a call from the school for a meeting. they wanted to put him in speech class because they had a hard time understanding what he was saying, well when we got there they discovered he didn't have a speech problem...he talked like his mother!! lol my mom grew up in broklen NY and I of course learned to talk from her....so of course I had a slight accent myself lol so it was suggested that I start changing my speech and to listen to my husband at that time and try to talk like him lol it took awhile but it did work...I didn't loose my accent really but it wasn't as proniced. after the ex left I moved closer to my family and my accent came back lol either that or I just wasn't watching how I talked anymore lol espically after the kids moved out.lol thank you jim for clearing that up for me

i'll be waiting to see your next project!!! that's one of the reasons I come here...I can see what other people are making.. I finally finished the bird cages with little birdies in the, from steve good and now I just have to cut out the stand and sand and paint it. This is the flat version where the cage has 4 pieces to cut out. I like the other one that's round better lol and will be cutting that out hopefuly soon lol but after I get this one finished I want to work on some compound cut patterns...of course i'll cut the star ship out first!! lol im making 2 one for our Christmas tree and one to hang from one of my nick nack shelfs..im trying to figure out how I can make the one for the Christmas tree sort of christmasy.. lol I also have the bull dog tooth pick holder to get carving on, but I need for spike to drill the hole for the mouth in them first...its on his list!! lol right now hes working on the new dvd/vhs recorder we got...then he has to change the sandpaper on the belt sander for me....I asked him to let me know when he changes it so I watch and maybe learn how to do it myself but he said id never be able to change it myself...I wounder if it could be put on with out being so tight I can't take the parts off that need to be taken off in order to change the sandpaper? but then again if the sandpaper fits it on real tight that could be a problem for me as well.... hummm i'll have to think on that...well anyway I have plenty of things to keep me busy until I can get to those lol
