Here is our CEO Chris Lovchik. About a week and a half ago, he took a tumble breaking and twisting both bones. He's full of pins and plates at the moment.

In my design project yesterday, we did a Red Rooster Coffee Sign.

Might I add how much more respect I have for Sharon, Doug and others that are so talented at painting!!! It's not easy.

This project is using only the basic Designer software. The sunrise was an imported image and we used clip carving. The step by step tutorial will be available next week.

That was actually Joe Lovchik's. When Chris got hurt, their dad Phil stepped in and worked non-stop to help get it finished.

That effort shows, congratulations on a great job. I hope Joe will do a "How to" article on the build and finish.

[peep]

Well I've decided, I am going to the next conference come hell or high water. :lol:

[SharonB]

I certainly agree with Terry....need a How-To on the trunk. Would really be nice to see it in real-time but teirman thank you for the pictures.

[tierman]

I my previous post I referred to Chris on the trunk project meant to put Joe. (Thanks Connie for correcting me) Guess I was feeling bad for Chris' misfortune with the leg. Anyway, Joe terrific job on chest!!! Crack one of them there bottles and raise the glass high. You have definitely set the bar high with that project.
