Had a piece to make

[heppnerguy]

One of our granddaughters moved in with us yesterday until she finds a job and gets her own apartment. Her birthday was today and although my wife had already purchased several gifts for her, I had to make this piece for her because I ran across the pattern yesterday and giraffes are her favorite animal. She loved it and it also gave me a perfect opportunity to try and make another frame. I had this frame figured out and gout together. It was near perfect until I got the giraffe cutout ready to put into it and then discovered I had made it too large. I decided to cut it and make it smaller. Well after I cut it I no longer had a perfect corner match but it was too late to start another and besides it was pretty good for me and in outraged me to keep trying. Who knows, maybe I will figure those out some day

G-raffs are hard to find in stores i've found.This will be a collectors item.Good job for princess!

Great job on both the frame and the cutting.  I am sure your granddaughter will treasure it always. I wish her luck on finding a job and getting her own place.  In the interim, I hope that you all enjoy some great quality family time while she is hanging out at your place.  Very wonderful that she is able to do so.

[Denny Knappen]

Well done on both the project and frame.

[GPscroller]

G-raff looks great and I also hate frames, refuse to do them, that is what stores are for!

[Lucky2]

Nicely done Dick, on both, the cutting and on helping your granddaughter out.

I can't see anything wrong with the frame, but I do have cataracts.    No the giraffe and the frame look terrific, well done.

I should have paid more attention to what you used as a back board on that. I could not believe how cool it looked when Jayme held it up to the light. I think you have make several pieces in the time it it taking me to make that hummingbird.

Theresa - remember how long has your dad been working with his saw and how long have you been working on yours.  I had to keep telling myself that when I went to my class.  Everyone there was an experienced scroll sawer but me!  With time, we will get faster. (At least I keep telling myself that - also keep telling myself - remember how long JGR has been doing Intarsia - and others on the saw - time is our friend.)

Just the usual very nice work Dick!

 

No piece is ever 100+% perfect!  You will be the only person to even see the oopses!

 

 

 

 

 

I have run a scrollsaw for over 60 years and I do hope to eventually get GOOD at it!

Very well done Dick. If the mitres don't match fill with sawdust mixed with sawdust. Works for me.

[country girl]

I am sticking with intarsia it is way easier i am sure.
