Popular Post rafairchild2 Posted February 27 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 27 (edited) Hi folks... It's been a while since posting on SSV, as I have been busy at my day job, and also spending a lot of hours in the workshop. Yesterday, I dropped off an assortment of 10 wooden toys to the VA Beach PD. This is the first batch of many that will go to them. The first image are the 10 toys 'curing'. I finished them in raw linseed oil. They will be used by the SVU when they come in contact with children. Kind of sobering in one way. The second photo is the box I deliver them in (no used Amazon boxes ) I am waiting to hear from two other PDs and a hospital. I have another 10 ready to be boxed for whoever asks. The Hippo is a gift for my grandson who turned 1 yesterday. I also gave him the completed Noah's Ark made out of 12 species of wood. The Hedgehog, goes to my 'rent-a-son's' newborn daughter along with a 12 species puzzle. I also included some photos of some of the other things in various stages of production, a lot in dry fit stage. I actually just finished cutting out the Cow/farm piece, it is 5 layers. I did it as a quad stack, so I produced 4 at the same time. It is in dry fit stage, now comes sanding, painting, then glue up. So much to be finished. This is my box before I started the linseed process. I counted this morning, and I have about 30 toys, ready for drilling, sanding, profiling, and wheels. Some get linseed, some do not.

Is that a Steve Good pattern? No, not Steve. Etsy, multidimensioncraft is the shop. They have a ton of 3D patterns like this. Most seem to be for laser. But there are some you can do on the scroll saw, like the cow. Edited February 27 by rafairchild2 ChelCass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
