From the editor's desk About this Issue Hi Folks! I'm happy to say thai we've got another good issue here, one that should have something of interest for just about everyone. Over the years I've learned that many of you make projects to earn money (even if it's for that private little "slush" fund). If you arc one of those people, there's an article in this issue I think you'll really appreciate—"Selling My Work" by Wayne Fowler. The article is chock-full of down-to-earth tips for making good money with your wood-crafting talents. I happen to know that Wayne does quite well selling his unique scroll saw creations at craft shows, and I'm sure his article will prove useful to many of you. Wayne and his son, Jacob, also team up to provide two excellent projects in this issue—the Falcon and the "Las Vegas" Tiger. In our next issue, Wayne presents a greal feature article about acquiring local woods. I'd also like to acknowledge the support I've gotten from Fred Martin regarding this issue. A few months ago, Fred sent me a photo of his intarsia eagle. In order to get everything to me on time for this issue Fred had to work quickly while he and his wife were moving (she's in the Canadian military). Despite the difficulties involved, Fred got all the necessary materials to me on time, and for this I'm grateful. Thank you, Fred! If you arc interested in compound cutting on the scroll saw, check out John Polhemus' Compound-Cut Ornaments on page 24. As usual, John goes the extra mile here—he provides not just the patterns and photos for cutting the ornaments, but he also gives us a pattern and photos for making an ornament hanger. Perhaps most significantly, he shows us a nifty technique for this type of compound cutting, in which the scrap wood is placed back inside the ornament and then clamped in place. This provides maximum support while cutting out the other side of the ornament. He even provides us with a pattern for making this clamp! In his own quiet, behind-the-scenes way, John has had a big impact upon Creative Woodworks & Crafts, and will continue to do so. As promised, there will be sixteen additional pages in each issue of Creative Woodworks, beginning with the next issue. This will definitely make every issue more interesting and more valuable—more projects, more features, more reader contribution, and more space to flesh-out each project. Stay tuned, and until the next issue, Happy Holidays! Sincerely... Check us out online at www.woodworksandcrafts.com Publisher Jerry (.'often ceo Darren S.
