The whole team

[GrampaJim]

My son coaches the soccer team that my 8 year old grandson play on.  The season is ending and he wanted to do a gift for each of the kids.  Out of a couple patterns I showed him, he selected this one by Steve Good.  He wanted them to be cheap and quick to make.  They turned out to be not so quick - (although Kevin probably done them in no time! )

Anyway, they are all 1/4 or 1/8" oak ply that I donated to the project and we used cheap 1/2" ACX ply for the backers.  The bases are solid oak that my son had sitting around.  Names or numbers were not required, so I was asked to paint the backers - blue for the 7 boys, and pink for the 5 girls.  (Gave him some grief about not being politically correct!  )  Everyone like them, personally I thought they were just so-so.

Great work!

 

It always feels super to give some things where you know they  will be appreciated!

 

I bet the kids love them!

You probably had seen enough of them thats why they are only so so to you but to the kids and their families they look like gold medals. Well done Jim.

Those are great.  I might have to look for that pattern for my son's team.

Jim those came out great.  Since they are 1/4 you could easily stack cut 4 at a time and do a ton of them.  Next thing you will know next season perhaps the other teams will be contacting you about doing some for their teams.  Thanks for sharing these with us.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.  I did stack cut the 1/4" parts.  The 1/2" backers were one at a time.  And the wheels are already turning for next years plans.

Tight detail like this you chose good to do one at a time.Fabulous cutting skills and whoever did the design(you) needs a hand shake too.Marge is correct in her statement good as gold to them.Glad you see you take up such a good cause as this .It's thoroughly rewarding in the end.Good job!
