Hi Oliver, welcome to the Village.  I'm Marg from Australia.  I was in France last year, stayed in Paris but traveled down to Normandy.  You have a beautiful countryside, we enjoyed it immensely.

Hi Oliver,,,,,my wife and I also visited Paris last year for the first time and we loved it. I made a compound cut Eiffel Tower that I enjoyed a lot..because of the limitations of the stroke of most scroll saws, you can only make one about 2 inches across at the  base. copied a drawing of the tower from Google images and pasted one picture on on 2 inch square block and one on the left side of the square, making sure it lined up on the bottom and edge of both coorisponding pieces and it ended up a  perfect free standing replica of the tower..

   if you are looking for other free pattern opportunities besides here on this great sight, you can  find others on Google ... good luck and remember there are many knowledgable people here on the Village that love to help others.

sorry i didn't browse the forums for the past months, lots of works and no internet access at home.

i mostly play with my router at this moment. ( when i don't remove those @#%%&*$€ adware and toolbar from the computers). i will try to find some time to post some pictures, ( i can write with my phone but the network is too slow to let me send pictures)

i don't even try to do some fretworks, peoples don't like that here, i stick to cutting names and simple shapes. I am currently salvaging some old plank/board from an old barn, mostly oak and chestnut. So i made a surfacing jig for my router and i use my hand electric planer ( i don't have a real big planer and the boards are too wide for a planer ). i really need to think about taking pictures.

( for those who want to know the barn is from 1750, covered with stone slab, the walls are around 60 inches thick at the base and the house is dated 1635, i've spend one year in it)

One of the things I love about Europe are all the really old houses that people are living in. They are so nice and amazing for us in America to even imagine a structure that old still being inhabited. In America, if a house is 100 years old, it is considered old. Hope you find time to check in here on SSV often. Nice to have you on  board
