Popular Post flarud Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) My BIL passed away last March and I asked for a pattern to be made. Grandpa made me one that was really cool looking. I started cutting it last June and finally finished it a few weeks ago. Longest time ever cutting out a pattern for me! Only cut a few lines at a time, eyes kept filling up each time I would start cutting,, hard to see the lines with tears in your eyes.. LOL. Grandpa had some very detailed wheels in the pattern and I knew that I would deviated a bit when cutting them. By not cutting this pattern out in one sitting, I messed up on the wheels, front doesn't match the rear. Not a very good cut overall but it is for me and not for display. Thanks again for the pattern Grandpa! Btw,, Muscovy was his CB handle in the 70's and 80's.

goldfish Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Looks good to me the lettering is very clear. That times new roman font is not the easiest to cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampa Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Turned out great and thanks for showing us the end result, a few tears must have landed on the truck when you was cutting it thus making it a very special tribute to a loved one.
