General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: My latest craft show

« on: December 11, 2014, 12:08:44 pm »

Thanks for the complements. We are still wondering how to spend all that money!

so far we have brainstormed twenty ideas. But in the end it will just disappear. The withdrawl period was short.

Here is the link to where I get my hardware for the fobs. Hope this helps, and I do have pictures, just cannot find them right now.

General Scroll Saw Talk / My latest craft show

« on: December 09, 2014, 09:35:26 pm »

Well it finally happened. I came home Saturday, after the craft fair, smiling half way down my back.show started at 10:00am at 10:15 a lady came to our table looked once at my beach scene by JGR and said how much. Well I only took it to show it off because I did not really want to or expect to sell it so I said $400.00.( I should have said 500. $&)@&$.) Anyhow she said ok I will take that. we sold a lot of 5.00 to 50.00 items. Later in the day a lady was looking at my key fobs. The type that have the hidden compartment. I told her you can put $ bills or tooth picks inside. She has a sewing group and thought they would be great for storing needles in. I had 6, she took them all at 30.00 each. What a day we had. Now I can buy some supplies😉😉😉😉

Pattern Requests. / Re: Need some help with this one

« on: December 03, 2014, 01:47:51 pm »

All the patterns are great but I am trying to match a photo much like this one where the calf is out in fromt and the rider getting ready to sling the rope. This is a poor picture to render a pattern from. so I f I had something close, it would do. Thanks for all the help.

The pattern does not need to be one of these. I need something similar. Cowboy roping a calf would do the job. Anyone know of a pattern??? Thanks

I need a pattern of one of the following. It has to be cut and mailed to alberta before Christmas. So I do not have much time to work with and the Canadian Postal system is not very fast. Some are already patterns but may have islands. I need just the one calf in the pattern. Thanks for your help

As a teacher with over 25 years experience you meet a lot of very nice kids with a lot of potential and like us all we you try to influence these young people in a positive way. Last year one of the students at our school reached out to me. He knew I did scrollsaw work and he had a keen interest in trying it out. We had a number of sessions in our fabrication room playing with the school's Delta 788. He came to me today and asked my help with getting a pattern of Florida. His English gave the class an assignment where they could present their information in any medium they wished. He choose his new scrollsaw as his way and he choose Florida because he vacationed there when he was younger. He is looking for an outline of the state of Florida and he needs to add details like the state flower, logo if there is one, flag, recreation, hot spots etc,and anything that is Florida. I am hoping that some of you talented pattern makers will help us out. Thanks in advance. Noah will appreciate your help. I am trying to get him to sign up as a member.
