Popular Post heppnerguy Posted March 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I made this Steve Good pattern for a nephew of mine that worked at a paper mill until he was about 70 years old and finally retired last month. He had big plans for traveling and being with many friends and relatives for a big get together, retirement party when the virus thing hit and plans had to be delayed. Both his wife and he were very upset as it was to be a big celebration and the disappointment set in and depression was surfacing. When I read about how much disappointment they were feeling and knowing he is a big fan of custom cars and owns one himself, as well as in a custom car club for years, I knew I just had to make this for him and try to bring his mood up just a little. He received it today and it worked. He was very pleased with such a small jester as this and it sure made it worth the small effort it was for me to do it for him. These things is worth more to me than a $600 craft show. The satisfaction of knowing that this one small piece of scrolling will probably remind him of me, every time he sees it. What a great pat on the back that will be for me, even though I will not know when that happens. I can't express the big lift it was for me when he emailed me and posted it on Facebook.

He contacted me and told me the only way it could have been better is if I had personally handed it to him. I thought that was a very nice way to express his gratification.
