DWSUDEKUM Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 This is my latest bank. A customer wanted a Cardinal Bank for her son and this is what I came up with. The bank is 7 inches long x 9 inches tall x 3 3/4 inches thick. Sealed with shellac. DW Lucky2, neptun, New Guy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Very nice, he will enjoy that. I helped my daughter make a flamingo on when she was a kid. She really did a great job making it, not so good at filling it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 nice little bank. I have never tried one yet. I do have a free source for the plastic sides though ( i can't remember the name of this material ), part of getting old, i guess.

heppnerguy Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Oh yeh that is it DW. I just couldn't think of it. half my brain seems to always be asleep and the other half is day dreaming. Thank. I have never cut it but I have a chance to get 4 X6 foot sheets of it for free, Not sure I would use it though. so I am a little bit hesitant to say.

'yes' to the offer Dick heppnerguy You would be surprised. You could make frames and then cut acrylic windows for it, You could cut acrylic snowflakes and other ornaments you can always get a couple of small sheets ( 8in x 10in ) from Lowes or Home Depot for a couple of dollars a piece and practice.
