mikesscrollsaw Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 My sister in law in Sweden has this thing made out of metal and suggested I make one out of wood. So I sat down today and made the pattern then cut it out. the first one was trash, I had to make some mods to it to make it work better, plus I used 1/8 plywood and it was too flimsy. the finished product is in 1/4 baltic birch, it's very strudy. so here it is: Hers had windows on the side like a house but i thought it looked better with something scrolled in the side, in this case a humming bird. I'm going to make one with a cross in the side and take it to my friend with the christian book store. a place to hold your books and with one layed on top it holds your page till next time your ready to read. I put a backer on it so it can be hung on a wall or it can stand as is. Quote

amazingkevin Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Perfect idea for the book worms.No lost book marks here! Quote
mikesscrollsaw Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 Yep sure can, I'm on the phone now but when I get to the computer later I'll post it up! Quote
mikesscrollsaw Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 I just uploaded it to the pattern library. (that's the first one I've ever uploaded so hopefully I did it right) it said waiting for approval so it might take a little bit before you can see it. mike Quote
wombatie Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Wow what an excellent idea, I know just the person to make one for for Christmas she will love it, now all I need are some bagpipes to go on the side. Thanks for converting it to wood you did an excellent job. Marg Quote
amazingkevin Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 I looked for it in the pattern library and did not see it help help! Quote
mikesscrollsaw Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 Looks like it is waiting for admin approval..... so I'll add it to this post in the mean time Quote
Eagledrum70 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 I just uploaded it to the pattern library. (that's the first one I've ever uploaded so hopefully I did it right) it said waiting for approval so it might take a little bit before you can see it. mike Thanks Mike and I think Travis posted their is a problem with the pattern library. I uploaded a couple of my patterns 2 days ago and they haven't went through yet. Quote
mikesscrollsaw Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 yep, looks like he fixed it, you can see the pattern now in the gallery. if you have any questions about the pattern let me know, I have it saved in inkscape if you want it in that format. Quote
WigWag Workshop Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Awesome idea! Great project! Thank you for sharing! Steven Quote
