Popular Post Joe W. Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) So the other night we had the neighbors young kids over and I tried to lay hands on my Penny Drop game I made a few years ago (BSS - Before Scroll Sawing). Not to be found, we went with a card game instead. After searching the house twice over to no avail, I remembered a Penny Drop pattern on (you guessed it) Steve Good's website. Shocked and amazed, I got this cut out and assembled in what seemed like only 2-3 hours. But who knows how long it took - when I get cutting, I lose all track of time and the clock is behind me. If you've never played the game, give it a try. You can even make up your own rules to include your favorite beverage (wink and grin). On a side note - I'm thinking this could be a money maker for those that cut for a living with stack cutting 3 or 4 at a time. Thoughts?

preprius Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 So did cutting this take less time than looking for the previous one? Sometimes I look for hours for something my wife threw out years ago. ChelCass, amazingkevin and meflick 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flarud Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Cool! Never heard of this game. I had to Google it to learn how to play. I search Steve's site, didn't find a pattern for it. I will try again. Thanks for sharing. Joe W. and amazingkevin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bugs me to no end when I can't lay hands on something I need when I need it. I think I am part magician - I can lay a tool down when I'm working on something and seconds later turn around to grab it, only to find it's not there. Heck, I bet I spend as much time, sometimes, looking for tools as I do the actual repair job. It really is a simple project. Printing, gluing the pattern, and cutting it out didn't take much time at all. I spent a little more time on gluing the pieces together and a little sanding on the end piece and SHAZAM!, it was done. Using 1/4" wood, you could stack cut 3 or 4 of these things and I think they would sell well or make a nice gift for family members/friends.
