believe me when I say that not everyone can do this. try cutting aluminum foil with a scroll saw.

Wow. Such a tedious, time consuming job. And the detail.......is just amazing. I know what you have to do but I'm not even going to attempt it. I don't think I could see well enough to even thread the blade through the hole. Suffice to say you do a fantastic job and I love your work :)

I hope by showing the amount of attention to detail that goes into each quarter and blank that people can understand the reason my blanks are priced where they are.

Seamus I knew the first time I saw one it took a great deal of time, patience AND skill. You know how much time and material you've got in it. If others can't see or appreciate it, it's their loss. Don't underestimate your work. Like I said before. YOU, just like Brooks, Constant, Marla and several others here make it possible and easy for others to produce a beautiful pen.

Wow!

Outstanding Seamus!!! Your attention to detail is remarkable. I agree that you should not underestimate your work. You have a great skill there that I'm sure others can try to duplicate, but to get to your level takes time, and time is money (not to mention the actual money) . I think your pricing is fine. Keep up the great work! :biggrin:

Awesome work. What brand of blades do you prefer? I scroll some holiday ornaments for our family. I shake to much to even consider trying to scroll metal. Your work is worth the cost.

Seamus,
The quarter looks great! I don't want any of you Virginia members to think you can get this piece. It is mine!! I am also anxious to see the Ohio one. The recipients of these pen gifts will be extremely pleased I'm sure.
Seamus, what ever the cost, it is worth it to me.
Thanks for your efforts.

BILL, the added effort is on me for this one, I just had to know if I could do it! I wasn't planning on getting that ridiculous with the details:eek::rolleyes:
