The Coffee Shop / "French Toast" Weather Alert in my area!

« on: January 12, 2013, 04:53:55 pm »

They are predicting freezing rain, sleet, snow flurries and a total accumulation of aprox 0.2"!!!

Just got back from some basic shopping for meds & general 'stuff' BUT every cart in the checkout lines contained Bread, Eggs, Milk and toilet paper!

I truly think the grocery industry has made a deal with the TV stations to really play up the 'horrendous possibilities' just to increase sales!

Meanwhile I have uncovered my gas grill so I can do my rib eyes tomorrow for dinner!

Pattern Requests. / OMG! I made a pattern!

« on: January 10, 2013, 04:20:28 pm »

I received a very nice carved Irish Trinity Knot plaque from my cousin after his trip to Ireland.
My lady friend said I should make one for her on the scrollsaw.
I couldn't find a suitable pattern so I searched for images and lo and behold I found the exact replica and in 5 minutes converted it into a cutable pattern!

There is hope for this ol' guy yet!!!

General Scroll Saw Talk / Wooden Teddy Bear catalog!

« on: January 07, 2013, 06:34:24 pm »

Mine came in the mail today and you can imagine my surprise when I looked at the front cover and found the pattern Charlie D. did of "SPLINTER" for me on the front cover!
I don't know if he submitted it to the company or if they just grabbed it off this group when he posted it last year!?!?!?!?

The Coffee Shop / Curious!!!

« on: January 02, 2013, 10:37:19 am »

With all the talk and misinformation flying around regarding COPYRIGHTS this question comes to mind...

Today's posted pattern by Steve uses the "Apple" logo for the Docking Station shown in the illustration.
If I make one and use it myself am I legal?
If I make one or more and sell them at a Kraft Bazaar am I in violation of the copyright involved with the Apple/Mac logo?

This is a clear example of just how muddled these legalities can be.....

All patterns cut and projects finished...

ALL presents both bought and made are wrapped and where they should be for the 24th...

Shop cleaned and put away until after the New Year Celebrations...

Both desks cleared and looking fine...

Clothes washed, pressed, packed, shoes shined and everything ready to go to S.O.'s place...

....and with my last hour I get to clean up myself and get ready to go out for dinner and RELAX with a cocktail or three!

And I am sure you all are in like condition since we know SCROLLERS are like Boy Scouts and Always Prepared!!!

Hugzzzzzzzzzz to all my friends, where ever you may be!

Merry Christmas to ALL!
