Finished this portrait today..

This one took me quite a while to do as I was limited due to a back and hip injury to just a few minutes of cutting time each day. I asked for a little pattern help and several of our designers stepped up to the plate. My customer chose the pattern created by Sarah.

Thanks to everyone who contributed...

Nice Job, Mike. Sorry to hear your injuries are slowing you down but they don't seem to have affected your cutting skills.

Sweeeet cuts Mike, was wondering why you have not been posting some of your projects lately. Always fun to see what you are up to. Sorry to read about your health issues, get well soon.

Thank you all for the nice words. It sure was nice to get some sawdust time in...I really like my dust deputy. It really does a great job and increased the effectiveness of my shop vac by untold percentages......I can't speak highly enough about it.

Looks cool Woods, makes me think of a design for a recliner/saw would be sweet. Good to see ya working still though.

Thanks for the encouragement...I am healing each and every day and hope to be well very soon. The setbacks are discouraging however. I stubbed my toe on an anti fatigue mat in the shop Thursday and oh my word it caused a spasm in my lower back that buckled my knees and sent me to the floor gasping for air...Such intense pain.....Quick trip to my Chiro and I am making progress again...I am being careful to not spend much time on the computer or in the shop unless I can multitask out there.

VERY nice job indeed. I love it.

Very nicely done, hope you get better soon. Edward

NO please don't tell me you are working out in the shop with bare feet or flip flops........

[wood-n-things]

No never working in the shop. Just transporting items to the garbage can stored in the shop...as it is also my garage but not used for that purpose...

[Mayo Farmer]

Nice job Mike, I'm sure they will be delighted.

I sympathise with the back. Back pain can be one of the worst.

Get well soon.

Really nice cutting Mike! So sorry to hear that you have been down in the back...it stinks gettin' old - lol! Seriously tho, I hope you get to feelin' better and take it easy until you can get back to normal activities. Better to take some time to heal now than to have permanent damage. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!
