The village idiot needs tutoring.   Went to my Profile.  How/where do I make a change?  i.e. Add my location.  (It is currently in my home office, sitting at our computer.)

Slightly off this subject.  Our oldest son has been in the computer business for lots of years.  If you order something online, don't enter your credit card number without first checking the site address for https.  The "S" stands for SECURED.

If you learn to watch for it, you will notice that even the Google site is https.

Hi Spirithorse,

Re: Your comment about the sides (& back) of the base.  Go to this site, page 4 of 5.  I made a plexiglass "pattern" of one panel.  Used that as a template to trace as many on my pattern that would fit.

The Wording:  Printed with the computer on colored construction paper.  Laminated that.  Sprayed Clear Enamel on a waste piece of the laminate for a test.  It left no trace of the spray.  Used Elmers wood glue to sandwich the wording between the pre-cut frame & a backer.  The glue on the laminate held "OK".  The whole process went really well.

Candy Dish.  Rings for the "bowls" are by Steve Good.

Angels - I honestly don't remember where I got the Angel pattern, so I can't give credit.  However, I did make changes to it.

Brag Forum / Ribbon Cross

Ribbon Cross pattern by Dirk Boelman.  Pattern was designed for the photo of a deceased loved one.

I shrunk the pattern to 75% and added a Communion Host to the center of each side.  Base is 1/4" ply sandwiched between two solid oak scraps.

Because of my old brain, I don't know if I know how to resize & load pictures.

Googled "Lamb of God" and made the image. 

The base is the main door of a cathedral pattern that I built some time ago.   Pattern by Al Spicer.

The Coffee Shop / And how was YOUR day

A.  I'll bet the owner of the axe did not get it back.  It is now mounted and hanging over the passengers fireplace.

B.  When it hit, the passenger probably saw a very bright light at the end of a tunnel.  In the light were her deceased relatives saying, "It's not yet you time."


A cousin of mine responded:  You know how your Mother always told you to wear clean underwear whenever you leave home, in case you are in an accident?  You probably should keep a spare in the glove box.
