Travis Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Holy cow, it's May already!? This month's challenge is celebrating Spring. This is my favorite time of the year. The shop warms up, birds are chirping, and things are turning green. What does spring mean to you? Post your project that sings Springtime: birds, scenery, Mother's Day, flowers...it's up to you! Can't wait to see what you come up with! Kris Martinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scrappile Posted May 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 7 I have shown this before but it is sitting close by and I thought it really looked like spring. And I have a real urge to make some birdhouses of I purchased some cedar boards a couple days age. Little late for this years brood of babies but start for next spring.

Wichman Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 With spring comes working in the yard, as we get older it sometimes is a pain, literally, to get up. Here is a new pattern from Al Baggetta, his "Umph Bar" a devise to help you back on your feet. 7/16" Elm, #1 Polar blades for the details, #3 Polar for the outside cuts. Detail "leaf" from a Steve Good Pattern. Charlie E, Travis, OCtoolguy and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RabidAlien Posted May 18 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 18 Lots of construction going on around us these days (yay, progress...?), so its harder to hear the owls and coyotes at night, but we still have plenty of little critters, and the hummingbirds remember where my wife keeps the feeders. Oh, and let us not forget the Texas springtime thunderstorms.... Cedric, New Guy, barb.j.enders and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennisfm56 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 From Wikipedia: The Green Man, also known as a foliate head,[1] is a motif in architecture and art, of a face made of, or completely surrounded by, foliage, which normally spreads out from the centre of the face.[2] Apart from a purely decorative function, the Green Man is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of new growth that occurs every spring.

Randyw81 Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Spring means butterflies and picnics. Started another butterfly project but not finished yet. The picnic basket was donated to a local veterans support organization for a silent auction.

joel brinker Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Just finished today, got the pattern from a pic in a group I go to, "Scroll saw works and free patterns" from a picture posted by John Chestnut. This is made out of 1/2" reclaimed Oak (maybe red Oak). It's 12" x 7 1/2", with a poly seal on it. I used Inkscape and what i learned here to copy pattern Travis, Charlie E, JackJones and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
