Pattern Requests. / Simple tractor puzzle for small child

« on: October 09, 2013, 11:22:17 pm »

I'm looking for a simple tractor puzzle pattern for a boy about 3, 
I dont want a lot of pieces.  I will blow all pieces up so they can't slip down a
paper towel cardboard..  ( or anyone have another way to check thats is choke free?)
I am willing to buy one... but of course free is better.

Pattern Requests. / Need font

« on: September 23, 2013, 01:26:53 am »

My beloved mule of 45 yes 45 years just passed away last week,  and it has really tore me up.
I want to make a sign for him.  I took a side view photo I have of him.  put it in Photoshop,  and  turned it 
black.   then I put in Coreldraw and turned into a vector...   I would like to put his name on it. and other words.  but
I just can not find a font in my computer that will work good.   Can anyone help me with a good font name.  or where to find
one.  I went to some of the free font sites.  but  I can not download them.  or then keep taking me to other pages.  and can
not find them.   Ill post  Jackson's photo in the brag area.

« on: November 13, 2012, 10:37:17 pm »

My husband has this HORRILBE ( sorry honey) looking little tool shed. its in our drive way, so all see it.   Well Honey is gone for a few days....  sooooo I moved the little Craftsman boat next to it.  hung some old " junk" on the outside.  and I am making a big fish,  will paint it to say  " Bait and tackle".
I am going to hand it loopsided and make it look like a OLD run down fish store.  LOL hope that will had something to the took shed.  Was going to add a few old lures and poles on the outside walls.. but that might be pushing it to much.   I am posing the fish as of tonight.  will finish and hang tomorrow.  will post finished photo.

Brag Forum / Dog Agility equipment

« on: November 13, 2012, 10:10:57 pm »

I just started doing Agility with my dog. I did not have any equipment. Plus  I am afraid of the table saw.  Soooooo I did it all with my scroll saw.  Most of it was cutting PVC pipe.
On my jump cups I took a PVC Tee,  cut it down the middle then made another cut.
On my A-frame, I was able to get that cut at Homedepot. LOL that would have been to much for my scroll saw.
I am going to go post some photos.

Intarsia / Intarsia question...

« on: April 15, 2012, 05:07:48 pm »

Hello,  I am VERY new to scroll sawing,  I want to try the intarsia of the cheese and mouse.
Hope you can understand my question.  but if I cut the mouse and cheese out.  and just use normal ol pine,  and them paint it... and do not do the ... fancy.. what ever you do to make it
so neat looking.   will it turn out.,  until I can learn and try it as " Intarsia"
Think Im asking if I just cut a Intarsia pattern out.  will it work without doing the fancy sanding.
Thank you
