  1. Nice work Don.
  2. Hi Richard, Great photo - great story. I've had a quick look at you're image and it will take a fair bit of work considering the amount of detail in the background. I've made some basic alterations for you, but you will need to print it off and spend a little longer with a black fine tipped pen. I've kept the integrity of the facial features, so the depth of background detail is really up to you. If you struggle, give me a shout - I'm a little pushed for time at the moment, but I'll help where I can and add some more to it if you wish. Kindest Regards & Good Luck, Nick.
  3. And as if by magic...the saviour jumps in to save the day
  4. Hi Russell. I'd say you're best bet is to copy and paste you're last question, and send it to Travis. I'm not 100% sure myself, but Travis will know for sure. Hope this helps. Regards, Nick.
  5. Hey Roly....I recon that makes us that little bit more unique over here - what do ya think? 😊
  6. I don't really understand what the problem is - it's a simplistic logo / design which is individual to the owner. You did a great job with very little to work with (and no use of your own initiative). They got exactly what was required - what is not to like? Hold you're head up, Dick - then brush yourself down, and move on to the next one (who will no doubt appreciate all your effort and hard work).
  7. Love it...nice work Keefie. (And very thoughtful)
  8. I'm sure I speak for many, in saying 'we're with you'.
  9. Welcome to the village, Phil. Nick (East Coast UK)
  10. Good to see you back, buddy.
  11. Hahahaha, Mahendra....don't you mean 'Rockin & Rolying!'
  12. Very nice Don. (I don't feel quite so obscure now - I started the Christmas cuttings about 2 weeks ago). Keep up the good work.
  13. Thanks everyone. I'll upload more when I get time. "Happy Weekend"
  14. Hi everyone. Just thought I'd show my face. Busy as usual - I have been saying that I'd update my gallery for weeks now, so I have. Drop by and have a look if you get a spare minute. Kindest Regards, Nick. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/member/5837-nicktinkers-cove/
  15. Nice cutting....but seriously - how many feet do these ladies have?
  16. Nice one Keefie. I'm now grinning from ear to ear.
  17. Great news, Clayton. Positive stuff is always welcome and much deserved.
  18. Enjoy it Roly. Wish I could've travelled down myself, but just too busy at the moment.
  19. Hi everyone. I recently had a technical IT issue within the gallery section of our beloved village. After chatting and a couple of emails, Travis pinpointed the problem, and I will be adding new items to my gallery when time allows. I simply wanted to thank Travis publicly for all of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. I have some basic web design and HTML knowledge, and I'm pretty sure that quite a lot maintenance is needed to keep things running smoothly. I also know that the unlimited gallery space we have, is also pricey. It'd be great if maybe a few people would consider hitting the donate button (what's $10 per year for the pleasure of this great site?). Thanks for reading, and once again "Many Thanks, Travis". Your doing a great job and I know everyone appreciates what you do. Kindest Regards, Nick.
  20. Hey Bryan...welcome aboard. Best wishes, Nick (Bridlington - East Coast UK)
  21. Congratulations Roly...good times ahead buddy.
  22. I've always admired the amount of effort and detail that goes into clockmaking. They really are amazing - it takes a hight skill level to create work like yours. Regards, Nick
  23. The others have pretty much covered everything, but I would add; 1. Use spray adhesive and tape to secure your pattern to the wood - it lubricates the blade and stops the smoking. 2. Most of my cuts are quite intricate, so I rarely speed up at all - use what's comfortable for you. 3. As stated, small cuts are best done from larger pieces, but if you can't, use another block of wood to wedge one side against the blade, and that will keep your fingers out of the way (and give more control). 4. Everyone else is correct - I've never used the foot piece either - it gets in the way. 5. The reverse tooth blade (various pointing upwards near the bottom) is designed to reduce the amount of splintering on the back of the piece you are cutting. I think that's everything. Keep at it, and good luck. Regards, Nick
  24. No probs Roly...been a little busy just lately - hope you're good, friend?
  25. Hey, are you still looking for this, or has Roly sorted it for you?
