    You are right Ralph. Must have been looking at it with my bad eye. I think Tyler needs to explain it to us. Jerry

    Hey Ralph, I think I figured it out. Tested with my name. Made one with my last name according to Steve's instructions, then made one with my first name. I think his program letters and the space take up the same amout of space. Luckily for me my last name has 7 characters and first name has 5, so worked out pretty easy. Will test tomorrow with maybe an odd number of characters and an even number of characters. Maybe add some special characters to even it out. On your example I think if you put an extra space before and after your first name. Tested it out, works perfect.

    your first attempt looks great. I for one am not going to attempt this art form, but I think it adds a lot to scroll saw work. Speaking of work, to me epoxy looks like a lot of work. Jerry

    Very nice, would have liked something like this when he was a little boy. Just finished his freshman year in college. I like how you have the bigger pieces are to be placed on the board. looks like the smaller pieces are attached to the board to prevent chocking. Nicely done. Jerry

    Tyler, again I am amazed how fast you do you cutting. Takes my much longer, but like you, I usually like the finished project. One thing, maybe a short video how you created the compound cut using Steve's program. I think I have an idea how you did it, but not certain. I always learn something from your explanation. Thank You, Jerry

    Well done Dick. Nice cutting and finishing. I am continually amazed how fast all of you complete a project. It would take me at least a week to do what you did in a couple of days. If you weren't the chief cook and bottle washer you would have finished to complete project in one day. Like I said, nicely done. Jerry

    Nice job Dick, even with the photo. I think we tend to forget that these simple patterns can give us a lot of joy when giving them to kids. Your great grandson will get many hours of playing and imagination. Jerry

    I will hope for good weather for you and that you do well at the craft fair. My wife and I used to love to go to craft fair.. Jerry

    I had cataract surgery last year. Really helped. I don't know how you did this, but great cutting. Wish I could tell you what to do about the arthritis, I'm beginning to feel some of its effects. I think being able to make sawdust keeps us going. Jerry

    I did that. The guy in the mirror is the same age. Jerry

    Friends have asked me about Flea Markets and craft fairs. I tell them I worked for almost 60 years and now am retired. I don't care to have another job. I enjoy scrolling and make things for family, friends and myself. I get a lot of satisfaction giving stuff away. Jerry

    Here's to a speedy recovery Rodney and return to scrolling. I always enjoy seeing your work, Jerry

    Fibber MaGee and Molly. Boy, that takes you back Denny. Wonder if our younger people are familiar with them. Jerry

    Hey Ralph, since Ron Johnson was able to pass the pattern forward to you, can you do the same for me? I really like it. Jerryh

    Kevin, since you purchased so many roman numeral clocks are you going to some of them up for sale? Just wondering. Jerry

    I'm happy SSV is not going away. Since I'm fairly new I was getting scared you were leaving. Now I can rest easy. I have learned sooooo much. Jerry

    Beautiful!! I'm certain your granddaughter will enjoy it. Jerry

    Being a Air Force navigator I prefer the one showing the minute markings. Minutes were very important to a navigator. Jerry

    Thanks Kevin. I just found a new supplier. Didn't know Seiko made clock inserts. Our wives do so much to help us. My wife has been gone 6 years and I am still finding things that she organized for me. Some things I will never find because she didn't think I needed them, I'm sure you can guess where she filed them. I loved her so much and I really miss her. It was 60 years ago today that we were married, the happiest day in my life. Jerry

    Thanks Paul, I will give hima try next time I need an insert. Jerry

    Marie, you are branching into new territories. Way to go girl. You did a marvelous job. You have a lot more courage than I do. Never had a desire to do a portrait, maybe one day. Anyway, great job. Jerry

    Nicely done Frank. A little naughty, but classic. Looks like something that could be painted on a bomber during WWII. Jerry

    Kevin, just wondering where you order your inserts from that you have to order 1,000. Maybe I didn't understand you question. I have ordered sometimes just one or two with no issues. I know some sites might sell them for $10 or $12 dollars. I only use 1 7/16" inserts and I can't imagine 2" insert being that much more. Maybe you use a higher quality than I do, but I have never had an issue with the inserts I use. As I said earlier maybe I misunderstood your comment. If so I'm sorry. Oh, by the way, I have used both Arabic and Roman Numeral. Jerry

    The Parkinson's logo was a nice touch. I know he has suffered with Parkinsons for many years. Recently saw an interview with him, I think it was on Sunday morning show on CBS. It was sad, but he is trying everything he can to get the message out there. Jerry
