Heh...Steve Good pattern

[RabidAlien]

I saw this in someone else's post, and was directed to Steve Good's site.  It almost needs Sid the Sloth's mugshot, but it hit all the right funnybones with me.   

 

3/4" whiteboard from Lowes, finish is Minwax "Gunstock"....I ran out of my darker stains on my Mark Twain project, and since we were at Lowes this afternoon....following a family morning at the gun range....I thought I'd give this one a try as well.

 

One of the best parts?  My smallest drillbit is 1/16", and the #3 blades STILL rattled around inside that hole!!!  But the bit is small enough that, for the first time EVAR, I was able to drill a pilot hole small enough to cut details like below the lower-right leg of the "A" or the end of the leg in the "R".  I now know how Dr. Frankenstein felt.   For slightly different reasons, of course, but the feelz are there.

That looks great! I cut mine from a pine board with no finish. It will just sit around with everything else. It was just fun to cut. What is whiteboard? Is that the pre-painted stuff for shelves?

you can also buy a fairly large variety of drill bits that go a lot smaller then 1/16th at Harbor Freight in a cello pack of maybe 20 bits for about $3.

Its probably pine, but the stock label at Lowes said "white board".  Unpainted, not a bad grain, not too many knots, easy to find one that isn't split, and cheap.

I enlarge a pattern so I don't have to deal with tiny blade cuts
