Howdy my Friend.... You did a Great Job on cutting this. I also completed this project for my Craft Show next month. Made one with Green and other Red. Sold 2 of these last year, so will offer them again this year. Can't remember what I got for them. Any thoughts of this? Danny :+}
-
nice work Keith i got that on my to do list if i can get all the house repairs done. thanks for sharing
-
Danny, I've no idea what to charge yet, was hoping someone here could help with that?? please
-
Very nice job Keith! I have that on my to do list also.

Hey Keith.... Was remembering from last year. I cut TWO at a time. Used the normal BB 1/4" and also the 1/8" BB for the backer....Plus the Red n Green.... Michaels at I think $1.99 per sheet. So I figured I had approximately TEN BUCKS tied up into it already. Then the Stain/Oil, varnish etc. Maybe another couple bucks. Then if I use the ScrollSaw Formula I would add $10.00 per hour that it took me to finish it. Lets give the cutting a HOUR. Sanding, Finishing and other.... Another hour.... Another TEN Bucks........SO........Looks like this project should be worth $22.00 or more. Hey just think if you used the Expensive Hardwoods. Whew! And the Good thing is that you cut TWO OF THEM AT A TIME. Cool.... Now here in the Deep South of Alabama the buying peoples are Cheap....SO.... I will price mine at....$12.00 each and be Happy. Later My Friend.... Danny :+}

Nice cutting Keefie. What did you use for the back color?
-
Very nice. Thanks for sharing with us.
-
Billy, The back colour was just a piece of red card stuck on the back.
Danny, I'm still a slow cutter and also can't sit for too long either so the cutting took me over a day, how did you manage it in an hour ??? lol when you coming over to the UK to show me how it's done?? lol
-
Very, Very nice, Thanks for sharing
-
May I cut in here and ask.... How large is that ornament cut.
I d/loaded the pattern and it prints at 8x81/2 inches with approx: 51 internal cuts ... many very small.
I wood hate to cut it any smaller ::)

Merlin, I was brave and reduced the size to 5 1/2 inches just to see if I could do it. another one I reduced from 11inches to 4 1/2 inches was my angels with doves by Sue Mey picture attatched.
-
Keith,beautifully cut :)

-

I cut my Bells full size. Was using 1 hour as a reference for pricing. Think it did take me a few hours. No more tho. Using a FD-UR#1 blade (to me) is like following the line with a pencil. Danny :+}
-
Danny, I use the FD UR #1 for 99% of all my work, as you say it's like following the line with a pencil. ( but the bells are much more fiddley to cut with the size reduced lol)
-
very nice work, thanks for sharing
-
I cant believe I didnt post on this yet. It is a beautiful design....very nice work. Love the red in the back. Thanks for sharing.
