heppnerguy Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 One of our granddaughters moved in with us yesterday until she finds a job and gets her own apartment. Her birthday was today and although my wife had already purchased several gifts for her, I had to make this piece for her because I ran across the pattern yesterday and giraffes are her favorite animal. She loved it and it also gave me a perfect opportunity to try and make another frame. I had this frame figured out and gout together. It was near perfect until I got the giraffe cutout ready to put into it and then discovered I had made it too large. I decided to cut it and make it smaller. Well after I cut it I no longer had a perfect corner match but it was too late to start another and besides it was pretty good for me and in outraged me to keep trying. Who knows, maybe I will figure those out some day Dick heppnerguy Be_O_Be, lawson56, RFK48 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Great job on both the frame and the cutting. I am sure your granddaughter will treasure it always. I wish her luck on finding a job and getting her own place. In the interim, I hope that you all enjoy some great quality family time while she is hanging out at your place. Very wonderful that she is able to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

country girl Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I should have paid more attention to what you used as a back board on that.

Theresa - remember how long has your dad been working with his saw and how long have you been working on yours. I had to keep telling myself that when I went to my class. Everyone there was an experienced scroll sawer but me! With time, we will get faster. (At least I keep telling myself that - also keep telling myself - remember how long JGR has been doing Intarsia - and others on the saw - time is our friend.) heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
