Popular Post GrampaJim Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 After 50 years of marriage, I have bought a lot of gifts for her. I think this is the first time I have made one for Valentines. Cut from 1/2" Red Oak using Pegas MGT #3 blades. meflick, baggetta, Jim McDonald and 17 others 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Very nice work, I feel no purchased gift will ever outdo a homemade gift.. I know some think differently about that but.. not me.. well unless the gift is a new scroll saw or something.. However.. the scroll saw is something that'd wear out and one day be in a scrap pile somewhere.. a homemade gift will always be treasured for a lifetime and then some.. Again, very well done..

Barb and I just got there in December. I'm sure your wife will love this and the thought. scrollingforsanity and meflick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Faye and I celebrated our 51st this past new year's eve. Was a good deal I did not have to support her for the year but I could claim her as a dependent for the year on my taxes.

scrollingforsanity Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Very nice work Jim. I still have 16 years to go. Maybe I should make one now because I will probably be to decrepit by then to make it. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 That looks really nice! And congrats on the big 50. Just on this page alone there are 6 that have reached the 50 mark or very close to it. Congrats to you all! Like Scrollingforsanity, I too, have 16 years to reach that milestone.

meflick Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Nice work Jim and I have no doubt it will be a great treasure for her, especially since you made it. Congratulations to you and your wife, and all the others who have shared that they have also reached 50 or more years of wedded bliss or are close. That is a great milestone. DH and I will celebrate 35 this year so we are only 15 years away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Yes congrats to all of you for making it to the 50 years.. and the others for making it to where you are.. seems these days a lot of folks lucky to make it 5 years.. and that is very sad.. This year will be 27 years for us.. No doubt in my mind that we'll make it to the 50 if we live long enough.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
