Ken O Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 One of my coworkers asked me to repair the antlers on his Santa and sleigh. It was originally purchased by his parents in 1957. Then he asked if I could make some replicas since his sisters and brother wanted one. 2 with 6 reindeer like the original and 1 with 8 reindeer. They turned out pretty good. I only got pictures after they were finished. They are going to paint them so I didn't have to worry about that. I asked for $75 each and he gave me $100 each so I'm pretty happy. lawson56, bobscroll and sullyscroller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penquin Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Way to go, sounds like you made someone's Christmas for them and got some goodies in return that's always nice. Looks like you did you good job on the duplication effort. Congrads. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken O Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks everyone! We bought my wife a new wedding band a few months ago, so with that money she can have it in time for x-mas. You know what they say about a happy wife. I'll get better copies and put them out here for grabs if anyone wants to do one. I already have an order for another one. I'll have to make assembly drawings and instructions.
