Did i mention i have a nice joystick on my CP.


Evidently "nice" is a relative term... and I am willing to bet it has a shorter "metal CP" Type shaft,  right?

So is it notched?

Ball top or Bat Top?

The most important question that comes to mind is where it is an 8-way or simply a 2-way?

Once again! Fabulous work! and welcome to the forum.

thanks again for all the nice comments, you guys are too kind! i dont know what to say, but thanks! sorry i am not on here more but i have been busy.  you can always check up on me and what i am working at....

http://nicecarvings.com/html/projects_nice_carvings.html

Jason usually updates my web site often. right now i am working on a large order of carvings for mitch (the mitch II project), a lot of them i have not done until now so it has been fun. i am only about half done with it so check the site for up dates on that, i hope to get it done this this week. i am also working on jim's project. most of his are a little larger than others like it that i have done, it is making it easier for the details. i'm sure the final pics (check the site for them later this week) of them will be cool. i hope this cold front coming in wont slow me down. the highs are in the teens by the end of this week. bbbrrr!!! time to fill the propane tanks!!!

Excellent carving work I also like the idea of making molds of the work as this will shorten your work time for each piece.  I am sure that quite a few people here would like to have the BOYAC Medallion your made for Saint, I wood (pun intended).  :cheers:  Then you can charge more for the custom work, or less for the copies.  ;D  I would also like to see a few of the MAME logos done.  They would make nice wall hangings not just artwork for the cabinets.

As far as laying into you, forget it, this work deserves to be praised.  :notworthy:

Nah, I won't go there ;)
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I'm not sur eif you are aware, but there is this button near the top left of your screen callaed a back button that helps out with posts like these. After I type every post, I always hover over it for a moment before hitting the "post button". you may want to do the same.  :laugh2: :laugh2:

Hey, looking back at my post it does read as "I'd like to... lay into her"

Which is not exactly what I was going for.  It was meant more like "I'd like to do something to her." but cutting the end of that off as to signify that I'm just playin around.

My apologies for it coming out the way it did. 

DK, you have a good lookin' and talented wife there.
Princess, so what the heck are you doing with DK anyways?  ;)

Another thing..I don't even deserve the name Donkey Kong. i can't even make it passed like level 3 1/2 or something. Had you guys fooled for awhile though.

Now, I swore off ALL negativity for the day...well for people that can't take it that is. So I will be looking for someone all healthy, that could handle a kick in the nuts right about now...

Anyone seen mccoy? ;D

What kind of a mascot is a nut anyway?  Aren't mascots supposed to represent something that is fierce like a lion or knight or something like that?

Oh and nice carvings Melissa.  I'm going to have to come up with a Galaga related one.

Everyone should have their avatars done as a carving.
