I like that, DW.

I think it might have been more appropriate to have used the floating method on the 'Courage' one. Excellent job, as usual.

Very nice, Frank. Which wood burner do you use?

I only heard of this model yesterday, and this was my first pattern made from a photo, so treat me gently. The detail of the front wheel is a bit sparse as I couldn't get it to look right, but I'm happy enough otherwise for a first.

Thanks for the comments, but it's the pattern makers who deserve the credit. If it wasn't for them, I'd be spending all my time cutting clipart silhouettes.

Very nice patterns, excellent job, and dave yours seems to be very fragile to cut, I would have to be in a good mood to cut it.  LOl   edward

Yes I did that on purpose, so as to keep Martin out of the Pub
Dave

Too late mate, after 44 years of being in the pub every night, I stopped drinking last January. People tell me I'll live longer. I don't know if it's true, but it certainly b****y feels like it.

I know no one requested this but I spotted it on a Russian site I use and made a pattern for it. I hope it's not from a book or mag from our side of the new wall.

Thank you very, much Travis and Dave, that was quick! I think I might need to sort out my blade breaking problem before I tackle yours, Dave. I keep breaking #3 FD-UR blades for some as yet unknown reason and there's some fragile bits in there. I'll be cutting both of them eventually, and any others if any more turn up. I'm a glutton for punishment.  Thanks again.

Can anyone make a pattern from this please? It's my bike and I had the intention of making the pattern myself but I can't get my head round the bridges and islands needed on something like this. Looks like I'm not going to advance beyond simple patterns, so I am grateful to you guys that have the ability.

No need for the mirrors or the black bars around the engine as they are no longer on the bike.

You can get a free clone of this font and make your own. http://www.ffonts.net/Odana.font

Martin , I think there is a malware attached to it, on the site mentioned by you- just a word of caution

The exe installer asks to add a toolbar, which you can refuse, but the zip file is safe.

I'm always amazed by the coins you cut. I don't know how you do it, even the pic's you post are too small for me to see properly.
