jollyred Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 Since I made my son a man cave wrench for his shop,it was only right to make one for his wife's potting shed. The pattern is in the library. I made this from cedar, since it will be out in the weather some, with a 1/8" plywood backing, painted red. I did discover that cutting cedar requires careful consideration of any short grain in the pattern. The interior part of the "d" broke off, and I had to glue it in seperately. If I use cedar again, I will make the short grain areas wider. Falcon, Fab4, bobscroll and 4 others 7 Quote
