Popular Post rjR Posted March 7, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) A friend's young daughter that does not like TV much better than I do was here and bored. She rides a horse named "Casper". She wanted a sign for the stall in the barn. The idea was thrown around about coming up to the wood shop with me and figuring one out. Combination of efforts. Hers and mine. I cut the horses and she cut all the lettering--HAD NEVER ran a scrollsaw before--EXCELLENT student as the results prove. I do not know if she is more proud of it or if I am more proud of her fine work. I do know she really like the learning parts of it. The wood used is scrap plywood and rescued fence cedar, She did the cutting of the letters after we had drawn them together. Trying to figure a good way to hang it we decided on the rope trick. It is just about 32 inches long total. the horses are some images that I had modified previously and had made a template for. I goofed cutting for the stack cut, so had to modify them again. Lightly torched-- they will put a clear coat on it before hanging.

Dragonkort Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 that is beautiful!!! and theres nothing quite like teaching and working with kids! my grandson has helped me make a few things lately, and hes bugging his parents to let him come to grandmas house again SOON so he can make some stuff. lol Hes espicaly excited about being able to use the electric sander next time. lol Hes only 7 so I don't let him use the scroll saw just yet but if he keeps doing as good as he has been it shouldn't be to long before I let him have a go at it, with grandmas help of course. lol your young friend did a fanstic job with her sawing. you both made a project to be proud of!!

heppnerguy Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Having a young person who has found something that interests them, after seeing you do it and is willing to sit down and give it a shot, has to be really rewarding to both of you. Way to go, Ralph. I think you will be sharing your shop with her a few times this coming summer Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
