Dragonkort

Thanks guys. Yes i had a great time with my grandson and i think he did a good job cutting, espically since this was only the second time hes used a scroll saw. I got him one for christmas but his folks still havent gotten it set up for him....where he can use it. so of course im not real happy about that. they did say there going to bring him out once a month to stay with us for a few days here and there so he can use mine. still trying to decide what i want to make next

beautiful work, I still dont do the crafting like i did before my mom passed. she was my worse best critic...when she said it was well done I KNEW i had done a good job. she would inspire me and give me tips on howto make what ever i was doing better. i still miss her. I have found however that thinking about her when i do crafting gives me a warm feeling and i strive to make my work something she would like. but this of course took time...its been 6 years since she left us. condolences on your lost. perhaps putting yourself and your friend into your work will help you deal with your pain until the wounds heal a bit.

simply stunning!!

i dont know if it has anything to do with age or not but iv noticed the same thing. It seems to take me a lot longer to do a project then it used and like you i keep thinking i used to make better looking things and more impressive things back in my 20s 30s the ex would come home and tell me hed entered us in a craft fair for the weekend and id have to wip up a bunch of new stuff for it. He never wanted to take all the same kinds of things we took to the last one. somehow i managed to clean my house cook dinner from scratch and take care of 3 small children while still manageing to get at least one new box of projects done. I was always in the shop...these days it takes me a day just to trace some patterns and put them on wood let alone cut anything out. my mom used to tell me we slow down a bit as we get older...maybe thats it. what ever the reason im just glad i can do my crafts again

those are more then beautiful!!!

another great peice!!! you people all do such awsome work!!

wounderful peace!! looks great!

WOW!! a wounderful and beautiful peace of work

simply beautiful!! and like everyone else i love the way you did the one that lights up

those are all awsome!! The pictures are great and the cutting fantastic!!!

im with everyone else looks fantastic to me!!!

looks great!! and thanks for the history lesson!

I agree with everybody else its a wounderful project and it looks GREAT!! Also thanks for the patterns now i just have to go through my books and find out what mortesing is and how to do it. ha ha thats the way i work, I learn new things as the pattern im using calls for it

Thank you every one. and thank you for saying you like my painting job. My friend Ritia has tried to teach me how to paint better..... i do a bit better now then before her help but i dont think i'll ever learn the more complex stuff like shading and making things look far away or close up and to think my youngest daughter is an art teacher!! lol she must have gotten that talent from her father lol he always drew up my patterns when i first started before i got the scroll saw magazines

When we get it hung i'll take another picture and i'll see if spike wants to get a post to hang it on...not sure how hed hang it on the flower post. lol The wood i think was out door plywood like you use for flooring, thats one of the reasons i chose it. lol i also put weather proofing on it before painting it and last the expoxy resin. Should hold up for a year or two or more lol id like to turn our yard into like a fairy land but spike hates to have to move a lot of things to mow and of course most everything that cant be mowed he weed wacks around so we'll see how much stuff he'll let me make for outside lol

WOW ASUMEAND FANTASTIC!!! you did a super job on that

Thank you. i have a large pile of twigs, branches and sticks in the back yard, as well as small logs iwe've llived here going on 6 years now and spike still hasnt gotten rid of them. Now i wont let him lol im trying to think of other things i can make out of them.....i think i can make a fairy house out of an empty soda bottle and sticks glued to it, instead of using little stones.....and maybe make doors and windos out of some for the fary houses i make with stones. I'll have to see how that works... i think i can take a rather thick branch and cut it verticaly to make a couch....and who knows what else i might be able to think up

its those really close cuts that always get me....you did a totaly fantastic job!!! i love it!!! my friend gave me a ton of wood she cant take with her up north so im going to see about getting some more expensive 1/4 inch wood for doing some nicer fret work....not right away of course....have to hit spike with the can you go to the lumber yard and get me some,,,,,,,,,,for doing harder fret work? after he sort of forgets how much wood i now have in our little shed lol now could you guys tell me what kind of 1/4 inch wood you use for your fret projects? i wont try the wizzard right away...i'll try something a little easer then that but harder then what i usuly do. and hopefuly i wont wreak it stronger wood and smaller blades i do believe you guys said i needed.....i still have some of the real small blades and will get some more...but its the type of 1/4 inch wood i need to know to tell spike to get for me... and now i really need to get off of here will look at more posts next time im on and thank all of you for shareing you beautifull work!!!
