Brings back memories - we were there 4 years ago and got our photo on the web cam for geocaching. Thanks for sharing and Nice Cutting

Good Job. Good Job!

Welcome from the First State. This is a great site to enlarge your Scroll Sawing adventures.

Nice orientation of the grain/coloring.

For those who want to use a home vacuum cleaner for scroll saw dust collection and are the frugal type, stop in at a Goodwill Store. Not too long ago my audio system developed a loud feedback hum which I traced to my old 5 disc CD player. The current prices for a new one gave me pause, and while out one day running errands I noticed our local Goodwill store. Why not, I thought.. . . Long story short, I found another 5 disc CD player for $5. And it works as good as the one I had before it developed the feedback hum. While there, I did see several vacuum cleaners there as well. For those frugal souls like me who want to experiment with home vacs for controlling the sawdust, that's a frugal place to pick one up.

Welcome from the other side of the pond. You'll like it here.

Just when I thought I'd seen it all, you gave me yet another pleasing way to see this beautiful world. Thank you.

Well, this brings back memories. Many years ago I came across the novel: "Flowers for Algernon" written by Daniel Keyes. Here is an interpretation I found describing the novel: Charly is an adult male with a cognitive disability, struggling to survive in the modern world. His frequent attempts at learning, reading and writing prove difficult, and he is the subject of cruel pranks at the bakery where he does minor janitorial work. His teacher, Mrs. Kinnian, enrolls Charly in a clinical study where he is observed by a surgeon and a psychologist who have Charly "race" a mouse named Algernon, solving mazes. Algernon is usually the winner, thanks to an experiment involving brain proteins that greatly raised his intelligence. The experiment proceeds with surgery on Charly, who at first does not seem affected. However, he quickly becomes more logically advanced, soon becoming a pure genius. Emotional and intra-personal consequences are involved as Charly and his teacher become increasingly attached to one another. But when Charly gradually suspects the consequences of the experiment, he struggles with whether or not the procedure was a good idea. If you are in the mood for a novel that will touch your heartstrings and soul, give it a read. But wait, it doesn't stop there . . . The movie industry discovered it and "Charly" - Movie from 1968, staring Cliff Robertson and a remake in 2000 - was made. I haven't seen the 2000 remake, but can give accolades to Cliff Robertson for his acting the part of Charley. Probably too much information, but hey, thanks for the memories. Think I'll give the novel another read.

Different and cute. A good combination!

Well done!

If you are an active scroller my thought is to keep it. If not, put one up for sale, priced for demand. For every seller there is a buyer and with the money you could reinvest in other related wood working items. my two pennies worth.

Handmade for a very hands-on job. Considering the training time to become a journey line worker I'm sure they will really enjoy it. Well done.

Yep. You snagged that one just right!

That's tempting me to give spirals a try. Well done.

I'm jealous . . . but in a good way. Very nice and congrats.

The cutouts around the heads is visually engaging and accentuates the faces in a way I don't think I've ever seen before. Quite striking and beautifully done. I'll try to remember this one if I ever get deep into designing patterns.

Color does wonders - nice job.

OMG! That brings back memories of when I flew a Powered Paraglider and had to repair the carbon fiber propellor tips (after they contacted the frame housing while spinning). It works great for filling in small cracks. And if you need to fill a larger area, use micro glass beads for filler. But beware - the micro glass beads are like talc powder, so wear a mask. Thanks for the memory.

Just when I think I've seen it all. Very creative and original.

From what I see, I think you are gonna fit right in here. Welcome from Delaware.

Me? I'd still be sitting at the table going: "I can't believe I cut the whole thing". (With the wife looking on and saying: "You cut it Ralph". (Based on an Alka-Seltzer commercial). Well Done.

Methinks someone is prepping for Valentines Day! Nicely Done All (and I really like the flower).

One person's piece of junk is another person's treasure. Somewhere out there someone wants them. Oh, and I think they are cute too.

Nailed it!

Now THAT'S eye-catching! And a beautiful piece.
