IBMer recommended this forum and I'm happy to be here. I can see aleady there is a wealth of experience here and some excellent ideas. Hope I can contribute in the future.
Always looking for new puzzle patterns, especially a fire truck right now. If I can't find one I will have to hit the drawing board soon as I've had many requests.
Check out my website and let me know what you think. I have some original designs and some familiar ones from books, magazines, etc. I should have my guitar puzzle patten published this year as a magazine has expressed interest and requested a write-up.
I'm currently on the craft show circuit and do about six shows a year in the Southeast. Keeps me busy and it is fun! I often will do custom orders upon request and have had some interesting and challenging requests (e.g. grasshopper, flying pig, ostrich, and Mike Mulligan's steam shovel to name a few).
Merry Christmas to all.
