My mother-in-law requested a small name plaque for one oh her best friend. I contacted Don in Brooklin who came up with the design. He told me that he is not an artist but I do not see anything wrong with this pattern. Again thanks a lot Don.

My wife wanted a napkins holder for our backyard table, I asked Sue Mey for a pattern and this is the end result.

The last two weeks have been horrible as there was an accident at work. I lost a fellow coworker whom I only known for a few months, but could tell he was special. So I have braved the South Carolina heat and my garage to make a few things in his honor. I thought I would share with the SSV nation my grief/healing.

I've been using Dewalts type 1 for close to 15 years and wanted to upgrade to a smoother saw with a larger table. I debated the Pegas or the Excelsior ex-30 but after discussing this with Ray from Seyco, he convinced me to wait for a Seyco. I have to say that this is a solid saw and the table is enormous. I know I will enjoie this saw for years to come. I'm not getting rid of my Dewalts as I do demos quite often and it is the perfect size to transport for demos. Christian

Something a little different. Got the patterns from scroller online

I’m actually from Iowa. I came up here to Wisconsin when I retired. I have a $25 used Ryobi. It’s worth every penny I spend on it. I’m doing my first ambitious piece. I will show it on the site when it’s done. I’m learning a whole lot on this piece and I think I will be going and doing puzzles next time It seem easier. Later

Looks great! Unique project that would look nice above any fireplace.

I love the pasta loving cat, still read his cartoon every morning. Great work on both Bobby. Marg

I framed Charlie Daniels today. I picked up a 11" x 14" frame at Wally World the other day and was just going to cut the window out to fit with an X-Acto knife. I've been wanting to start building my own frames for my art and other stuff...so I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a Logan mat cutter, a rig to insert V nails in frame corners, and a rig to inert points and brad nails to hold it all in the frame. It was fairly easy to use the mat cutter, and it made nice 45* beveled cuts to enlarge the window. I used black card stock for a backer to keep the thickness down. I could get use to doing this all the time. Those of you that frame your art: 1 Do you buy frames. New or garage sale finds? 2 Do you make your own frames? Details on wood thickness, rabbit depth, any other helpful tips? 3 Do you use glass or plexi-glass? 4 I cut the mat to cover 1/16th of the piece on all 4 sides...is that enough or is it better to have 1/8th or 1/4 "overhang"? 5 What do you use to "fill in" from the mat to the back cover? Normally 1/8th or 1/4 thick wood. Lots of questions...sorry. This is just another facet of the obsession/hobby that I need to learn to evolve.

Nice job on your cutting and framing. When I need a frame I make my own. I use 3/4" x 2". If I paint it I use poplar. I usually rabbit the back about 3/8" x 3/8". I have never used matting or glass. Everyone has to develop their own style and way of doing things. When I first started doing portrait for people I would ask if they wanted it framed for and extra $25. They always chose for me to leave my 1/2" backer painted black sticking out 1/2" all the way around.

I was really feeling frustrated by my wooden gear clock so I thought I try one of these amplifiers. There are hundreds of examples on Youtube. This looked straight ahead so I gave it a try. I'm not sure what the wood is, except for the maple highlight. I went through my wood recently and found these items which I could neither identify nor remember where they came from. The finish is just Watco Danish Oil (natural) although the sound channel has a couple of coats of shellac. My hearing is very bad but to me there a marked improved when playing music through it.

Looks great Marg. Love the bamboo.

my condolences as well and beautiful project

oh that is so great!! my grown son loves scoby doo!! something like that would make a great christmas present!! yes i start work on christmas VERY early . lol i have a few box patterns some where i think and i can download some scoby doo pictures to paint on it...THANKS FOR THE GREAT IDEA!! getting presents for my 40 year old son can be a challange!!

that is most defently fantastic and beautiful!! now is that on a reall gun or is the whole gun the project? we always had bb guns and 22s and shot guns in the house when i was growing up....something like that would have been beautiful on them . my dad hunted a little bit but mostly they were just used to shoot at cans and targets

Wonderfully creative idea and beautiful workmanship!

Great Danes rock! Smartest dogs I've ever had the privilege of sharing a roof with. Nicely cut!

I have in nick in the throat of Dewalt from doing steep bevel cuts and not being patient. And it is not replaceable, just a hole in the table.

Me too.

great job

That's cool

Nicely done!

Looks good Marg, very nice work!

terrific job

very nice work

Looks great Marg, the bamboo ply sounds interesting

Down right Fantastic job Marg.

Yep that's Dean. Looks good Marg & the black frame sets it off.

Since the design came from a photo of Egyptian artifacts I would imagine it does say something. The portion of the artifact that I copied is about a tenth of the whole image. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Here is a BBQ plaque that I cut from 1/2" maple. The designer is Keith Fenton from Sheila Landry Designs.

I admit I chew mine up a bit occasionally. I think it has to do with cutting thicker hardwood and being impatient.
