This idea germinated from Dick and his invite for people to meet. Since we all cannot make it to Oregon I thought maybe some might want to meet at an annual wood show in New York. The wood show in Saratoga Springs is on March 28 and 29 Maybe we could meet some of our fellow scroller at this wood show. If you would be interested, we could coordinate a meeting place and time. Just an idea to consider....

Wilson, there are a hundred things that make this a great place. If you have a question, it will be answered at least twice. Maybe even correctly. The best group of helpful people you could ever find. Hope you stick around and join in on our conversations. There's a pseudo breakfast most mornings with a little conversation. Problem is, we are world wide, so breakfast could last 24 hours. Anyway, Welcome. hope your stay is enjoyable, long and your search for wood is fruitful. Larry

Great cutting. I am all into the rescue also. So I really like your sign.

Beautiful cutting, beautiful wood.

Very good, Very very good. And thank you for telling us about the wooden hinge.

Ha, She should like them. I enjoyed your description. Thanks Keith

THe outside with the bark is a great identifier

I voted and just wanted to say...I cut that... made a cribbage board.

All in cages I hope.

Chapter XLMMVI in the 'Life and Trials of Amazing Kevin.' Glad all worked out.

Thanks for the coffee Edward, you gotta remember that we're big eaters too. I'd like to sit and talk. I've always heard the expression, 'suffering depression.' Never, never heard anyone say, 'Hi Guys I am back after enjoying depression.' Now I pray you are back enjoying life. Joy lowers blood pressure... laughter you know. 'Hi Guys I am back after enjoying much delight and low blood pressure.' Be a happy clown,, not "The Tears of a Clown." Happy Days Edward.

that is a nice job cutting, well done and beautifully framed. who did the pattern? what wood did you use?

Those will be admired, no doubt! Be sure to have contact info and maybe a few business cards available.

Oh, and as for any extra ale, there is none, it's all in the gravy... maybe a little too much.

I tried but I'm not sure I made it right. I made a shortcrust pastry shell and put in some Scotch steak, cheese and some veggies. There is a rich ale gravy. Best I could do, hope you enjoy ... I tried it...pretty good

This is from a pattern in Creative Woodworks & Crafts 10 Exclusive Wildlife Patterns Designer is Billy "BJ" Holm There is no finish, just to cold. The wood is Birch I think.

I enjoy seeing your projects. Many of them have your touch added. Nice.

It will cost time but you can drill twice. Smallest bit you have first then use larger bit on one side just countersink, turn over and drill through...

Hi Edward, Roly, Dan and Steve. I'll have a coffee refill. Kinda in the same mode as Roly, but I'm just planning the cuts on some Goode's patterns with some changes I'll make. Off to the shop to do a little cutting and mix in some chores. Have a good day all.

Great cutting job. All look super good... especially 'Mum'

Jerry, Thank you for showing that beautifully cut cross.

I'll echo that, Good score!

Great cutting. They look very good. So what is the one variation?

I usually make a little. I go mostly for the interaction with other scrollers. Someone to talk to, and here what they think about scrollwork.

With three ambitious scrollers taking on the awesome task of cutting a Ferris Wheel, Savannah Scroller, Gator and Hans, I thought a little history would be worth bring up. Here's what I found: George Washington Ferris, a civil engineer from Illinois, invented the Ferris wheel in the 1890's. The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The total Cost of the wheel was $300,000.00. Mr. Ferris' invention was and still is the largest wheel ever built. It weighed 1,300 tons (that's about how much a herd of 2,000 dairy cows would weigh !). The Ferris wheel stood 25 stories high and held over 1,400 passengers. From the top of the ride, passengers could see 50 miles. It took 20 minutes for the enormous wheel to make one complete turn. After the Chicago World's Fair, the Ferris wheel was taken to the 1904 St. Louis Exposition. After the Exposition, the wheel was returned to Chicago and dismantled because it was just too expensive to keep the wheel in operation. The metal from the Ferris wheel was used to build a large ship, the U.S.S. Illinois, during World War I.
