February 10, 20197 yr Popular Post I'm finished when it goes in the house.. If it falls apart? I'll have to study horses before I try another picture like this.....I could have put their eyes on their nose and would have looked just as good. Grandpawdave52, whats the 52 for? this was the rope molding in the trunk, a Lowes product... I tried to get them to give it to me for buying the 7 Dremels plus having to drive the 100 miles where the only Lowes had any of those sets left..Yes they would have sent them but for 57 freight we decided to see some different country that day.. That is their regular charge if they have to send anything directly from a store and it is a standard charge for all stores... didn't know that...could have been 56 but seemed too much anyway.. The rooster is still sitting there not glued up...Since I changed all the colors different than the picture I don't have anything to go by and the glue would already have set up by the time I get halfway finished, not good...I know I'll have to enlarge a picture of it but hey I am a tight wad and this ink does cost for the printer... I added extra wood under the left side to give more better look? Edited February 10, 20197 yr by Smallpatch
February 10, 20197 yr Popular Post Looks Awesome with their eyes where you put them! I had no idea Lowe's charged that much for shipping!
February 10, 20197 yr Author Lew generally when anyone orders anything it comes from the warehouses or mfg. and not the stores. The guy the other day said the stores are not equipped to ship packages! I can see their point for they would have to hire more people and set aside space...

Love the way you terminated the ends and made them different top vs bottom. You've carved some magnificent things, but this is far and away my favorite. Something magical about carousel horse settings. 7 hours ago, Smallpatch said: Grandpawdave52 1952...birth year...had to add something since since Grandpadave was already used on a couple of other forums. It really doesn't matter much now as those forums no longer exist.
February 11, 20197 yr Author Wow Dave, you just a young whipper snapper.. I just put the last two numbers of the current year on my stuff.. I just got a new tower and have to find all my pass words and I was using Google and had about 100 places saved with all kinds of passwords and most of which I didn't record anywhere...oh boy what a mess. So to start I thought I would drop Google and try to navigate what 10 has to offer....Its different that's for sure.. The tower came with a new key board and I think it was made for midgets and my fingers are not that small. Lots of mistakes..
February 11, 20197 yr Popular Post Patch, I have to agree with Dave - that is an outstanding, and has to be my favorite. The rope molding simply sets it all off perfectly. What are the over all dimensions of this piece? You are an artist Jess.
February 11, 20197 yr Author 16 1/4 x 12 1/2 outside of the frame. When I'm having Rapid Resizer enlarge a picture I think on the horses I chose 15" and it printed out 4 sheets of paper I had to put together then I always try to start with wood large enough to make the outside in to a frame... Actual picture of the horses is about 13 x 10. In comparison the rooster is 18 x 13 out side to out side. The rooster is 14 x 13" The only thing I worry about is keeping a size of something where the scroll saw can handle it and the saw is 20 inches capacity. Hey, question,,,,, does Microsoft have a spell check. Okay I just now found out. >
