greasemonkeyredneck Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Just thought I'd share this one for a laugh. I was taking a coffee break at the shop when my wife brought over my youngest son. That's him on the left in the pictures. The dog has eaten up his burger parts to his grill playset. So we decided to pick up a few scraps I'd thrown under the table and do something about it. The scroll saw made a quick three circles for two buns and a meat patty with a little rounding over on the router. I had a little square of quarter inch stock he grabbed up for the cheese. No sooner than I sat back down and lit a smoke, I though about it. The bandsaw chopped up some fries real quick. Then, with a half smoked cigarette and a cooling cup of coffee, I got real adventerous. I cranked up the lathe with a small piece of mahogany that I saw lying in the scrap bin. After all, what is a burger and fries without a chocolate milkshake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasemonkeyredneck Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 look out though now daddy will have to make lots of new toys hehehe.Christina Already do that. A while back, I had a couple of circle cutouts laid on top of a radial arm saw I used to have. One of the little ones asked what they were. I said they looked like wheels to me. So we built a truck. The butterflies I posted a week or two ago are for my daughter. The unicorn and pegasus a while bck was for my wife. I think I've saved up enough cedar now to build my daughter a chest. If there was room in my house and I didn't have to make some cash to support my hobby, I'd just make stuff for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 That's way cool. I know the kids and your wife all love it when you make stuff. I love making stuff for my crew too but they aren't nearly as excited about it lol. Maybe I need to make them some hamburgers, fries and a milkshake too! My husband and son both act like big kids...........they would probably get a big kick out of them lol. Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
