|  Old Car not much to brag about other than it being a finished project...  I thought for sure if I started a new project my magazine would get here. well, it didn't so I had to finish it...I started out with the textured spray paint for the back ground but didn't like the results so I ended up going to the fabric store and finding this nice green felt... I got the pattern from a guy at work, his father in law had a stroke and is in a rest home and when they were clearing out his house they found some scroll saw stuff and asked if I wanted it..there wasn't much other than a bunch of old 1992 catalogs.. I'm going ask if they would like this piece to put up in his room.. Trout |

 | Trout, what a nice gesture in offering that for his room. A nice cutting and frame also. Steve

 There's plenty to brag about! It may be a relatively simple pattern, but it isn't one that's easy to cut as well as you've cut it. It takes skill to get such smooth lines. Gill

| I'm with Gill here, it does take a lot of skill to cut that as well as you did! I like the green back ground too, that's something out of the ordinary.

| Trout, you're too modest. Good job.

| ... and I'm with Gill too - hate to agree with her ... but ..... lol Simplicity of design doesn't necessarily mean simple to cut well. The number of straight lines, square corners and circles on the wheels on this one give lots of potential for noticeable "oopses" - far more so than in some of the complex patterns with hundreds of holes, where the odd slip can go unnoticed to anyone except the pattern designer and the scroller. Having said this Trout - you did a great job - I really like that piece - and it's a nice gesture to offer it to your friend's father in law.

| thanks for the nice comments.... that's about all the holes I could handle and I have to admit that I cleaned up a few of those cuts with my files.... for a piece that I did out of boredom still cost me $17. I had a dark green poplar board laying around here forever so I used that for the frame. I didn't want to splice 2 pieces of cheep felt together so that's what got me to painting the back board which turned out horrible so the olive green felt saved the project. Thanks again... Trout |

| exceptional cutting Trout. Two thumbs up. Like Gill and the others said, it is not the pattern that makes the piece but how it is cut. I think that is one of the big differences between a craftsman and a hobbyist. Good work
