Deep fried fruity pebbles? No wonder you can't wait until next year.

...and watermelon!

Give yourself a virtual pat on the back from over here in Indiana on my behalf.

You inspire many of us to cut better, fit better and finish better.

When I grow up in Scroll Sawing, I wanna be just like Trout.

thinks Jim and everyone for all the great support you have giving me...
this message board is what keeps me going, it wouldn't be as fun if you didn't have anyone to share it with....

now that all the excitement is over and done everything can go back to it's place and starts collecting dust.....
my grandson can have his bear back and my daughter can take her wine bottle caddy home...
the Harley is on the shelve right next to the cup cake boxes...

the ribbons go back in the drawer to stay nice and clean for the next time I might need to show them off....

thanks

the ribbons go back in the drawer

What......you mean to tell us you haven't made a super nice box to put those ribbons in.
What cha tinkin man?

[Bill Wilson]

Brag away Trout. From what I've seen of your work, you have every right to. The recognition of your talents really helps keep the enthusiasm up and that rubs off on all the rest of us.

[JimSawyer]

Wow...!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a lot of ribbons...
I'm with WD. You need to build a display case for them...(and leave room for more...).

I want deep fried fruity pebbles and watermelon...

Congratulations Trout, the ribbons are well deserved!

[ubgoofy2003]

Trout, from all the beautiful pieces that we have seen here, you deserve those ribbons & more. I agree too, that you should make a nice display case for them & not stick them in a drawer. You should be proud, I know I would be, if I could do the work that you do. Congratulations.
