Brag Forum / Butterflie-A Schwibbogen by Chase

« on: February 04, 2015, 01:30:44 pm »

Hi Scrollers.

Butterflies

As most of you know I design schwibbogens from patterns of other scrollers.  I try to give credit to those pattern makers.  However in the cutting of this schwibbogen I had a hard drive crash and the info was lost.  I've tried to do the best I can to give credit.  The large butterfly is from Chrestensen-Burgout designs; thanks Toni and Sue.  The side butterflies I'm not sure.  They came from a magazine or pattern vault, but which one?  The bottom and center butterfly pattern is by Diana Thompson and purchased from Scroller.  The pasties around the arch were given to me by a scroller from one of the forums, The Cafe I think.

This may not be the most difficult schwibbogen I have ever cut, but it is in the top three.  The design was fun and challenging too.

As you can see, there are two lighted versions.  The customer wanted colored lights and I'm here to please. They don't show up all that well in the picture.  However, traditionalist that I am, I prefer the clear light version.

Whadayathnk?

Comments welcome.

General Scroll Saw Talk / SPAM

« on: July 16, 2012, 11:40:24 am »

I am getting literally over a hundred spam e-mails a week from this address.  Sometimes over 25 a day.

cobon+owners@googlegroups.com

Is anyone else having this problem? 

BTW they are addressing the SPAM to cobon@googlegroups.com but it is coming to my mail box.  I subscribe to a couple of Google alert msg and to Steve's scrolling tips.  Steve says it is not coming from his site.

My ISP is Comcast.

They don't have a opt out address.  What can I do?

The Coffee Shop / Yet Another Great Idea

« on: November 12, 2010, 09:38:51 am »

My memory isn't as good as it used to be.  Has this been posted before?

Genius!!! The best idea of 2010...so far!


ANOTHER GREAT IDEA FROM AN AVERAGE JOE! WHY AREN'T PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE LIKE THIS IN WASHINGTON?

Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports:

All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.

This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this crap about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.

This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now: you're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention, standby passengers! We now have a seat available on flight number..."

Did I mention that My memory isn't as good as it used to be.
