Denny Knappen Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Last week someone came into ArtCrafters and bought the only Miniature Birdhouse that can stand. She asked if I had more. I purchased the set of eight from Diana Thompson's website and made four of the eight this past weekend. I used Aromatic Red Cedar for the houses and Yellowheart for the birds. I also used FD Polar #7 blades. These are a fun easy compound cut. Comments welcome. lawson56, Dave Monk, don watson and 2 others 5 Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Well done, Denny.....I may have to add some of those to my to do list ! Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Posted June 15, 2016 Thanks guys. They were fun to make. Now lets see if they sell. Quote
tmbits Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Very nice! I really want to try this type of scrolling but frankly, I find it rather intimidating. Beautifully done! Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Posted June 15, 2016 Tim, go for it. Compound cutting is easy. One secret is after cutting the first side, wrap tightly so the fallout does not move. Then cut the other side. Quote
don watson Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 I like the look of these bird houses. I don't know if I can manage compound cutting. Quote
rdatelle Posted June 16, 2016 Report Posted June 16, 2016 Denny, they came out good. I did about 40 of them but none standing. Don and Tim, give them a try. I felt the same way when I first started cutting them but it's easier that you think. Just take your time and like Denny said, tape the side you cut before you cut the other side. Quote
Lucky2 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Posted June 16, 2016 Nicely done Denny, standing, that's a very unique way to present them. Len Quote
Dave Monk Posted June 16, 2016 Report Posted June 16, 2016 Those are as cute as can be. Nice job! dave Quote

Ralph you are more than correct,they are addicting ,cut fast and then you peel it like an egg for the surprise in the middle! Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks for all the nice comments. Kevin, that is the fun part, like a surprise in the box. Quote
penquin Posted June 16, 2016 Report Posted June 16, 2016 They are great, didn't realize the standing one's were available, got to make some of these. jim penquin Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks, Jim, yes I found them on Diana's website. $5.95 for the set of eight patterns. As a follow up, one sold today at ArtCrafters and I gave one to my wife, Dianne. Now only two left on the display. Quote
Rob Posted June 16, 2016 Report Posted June 16, 2016 Really well cut Denny. I haven't seen the standing ones before but can see them being even more popular. I might have to get those patterns, Rob Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks Rob, they are a fun cut. Quote

dgman Posted June 17, 2016 Report Posted June 17, 2016 Nice work Denny! I have cut them and they do sell, but not as fast as the hanging ones. Quote
