Puppy Coin Bank

[Denny Knappen]

I have 5 great grandchildren and I will make one for each.  This is #2 and others as they get older.  The pattern is by Paul Meisel and found in SWWC issue 66.  I used 3/4” Pine for the body and 1/2”Cherry for the ears.  Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw with Pegas #5R MGT blades.  Comments welcome.

Nice work Denny! Should make a nice gift from Great Grampa!

Very nice Deny! They will be appreciated for years to come. A special thanks for always including details about your projects. I wish everyone would do so. Lots of nice projects posted and I usually try to comment.  I usually bypass without further comment as after the initial viewing I lose interest. However, where details are provided it increases my interest and I often learn something. So Deny, thank you for your posts!

Very nice Denny. Money boxes are great gifts.
I used to make a few. I purchased about 20 musical inserts, that you set into the top. They have the money slot in them and play a tune as the money passes though. Sadly I never used any as the slot is to narrow for our 50 cent piece.

That is cute.  They will love the money boxes, especially if there is money in them.

Thanks Marg.  I am sure they would like them filled with money, but we will leave that up to the daddy.
