Hi Everyone, I have been working on this portrait of grandmother and finally got it finished. The photo is from around ten years ago. She just turned 96 on dec.13th. She has been quite ill and as of this past friday the doctors have told us that she may only be with us for a few days to a couple of weeks. Steve

Steve, my prayers are with Grandma that she gains the strength and will to stay with us. Grandma and I share the same birthdate. Nice portrait, too.Mike

Sorry to hear about your grandmother's illness Steve, but what a wonderful old lady she looks! Your portrait is full of character, I think.

Hi Everyone, I would like to thank you all on behalf of my grandmother for all of your prayers and concerns. Her name is Nina M. Oates. It was about six years ago that she was sitting on the sofa at my mothers house and was squinting her eyes looking at a wall clock. She asked me this question " What time is it up there on the wall? " My answer was " The same time it is here on the sofa. " Now I am talking about a one hundred pound ninety year old woman here. I weighed in at two twenty. I lost to that backhand and retort that " I asked you what time it was not for a smart elleck answer. " I wanted to share that story with you all my extended family. SteveComment

Hi Everyone, I have not been to active on here this week. I posted back in January about my grandmother being ill and not expected to live very long. I am sad to say that she passed away tuesday evening march 13th. She held on longer than any of the docters expected. She had a long wonderful life as she was 96 years and 3 months young without bad health until the last few years. I wanted to keep you all updated as a lot have asked about her. SteveComment

I am sorry to hear of your loss Steve. Your wonderful work will ensure her memories and stories live forever."Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They're easier to ignore before you see their faces. It's easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."

I'm looking to buy this Bosch mitre saw and I'm wondering if the holes shown in the pictures are where the material clamps go. The ad says there's no clamps included so I'll have to get them myself.
Are these the clamp holes and are they generally available aftermarket?

Reply to Park the scroll saw for awhileFirst, let me say those are beautiful! Second, I can tell you that on the Facebook laser forums those people have been hunting for sources on cutting and charcuterie boards to laser engrave various personalizations onto. Some are willing to pay for quality and the finished pieces show it. Others...
