I use the waste from cutting the rope as the backer because it is thick enough to put my id disk on and the hanger. this picture does not show the hanger but I use a sawtooth hanger. Do it. I have been scrolling a long time and there military emblems are the absolute most rewarding project I have done. I have been so thanked to the point of tears from some. It means a lot. It is so worth the effort. My dental Hygienist mentioned to me the first visit that she was a Marine. I made one and just left it at her office. I got a phone call from her and she was crying with thanks. Now I go get my teeth cleaned, I get the cleaning and a hug! I still get a bill but with the hug it is not as painful..

Scrappile Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Sleep has always been difficult for me. Even retired I usually am up by 0500. But in bed by 2100. Just the old man in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 So rewarding. I love it when I give someone something just because I know it will have a special meaning to them and i find the profit from doing it is worth more than when I sell one.
