Things Dads Like - Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

Ahh....summer is upon us.  Let's make something for Dad.  This month's challenge is making something Dads like.  Is it BBQ gear, a cool beer caddy, a portrait of a fancy car, or a sign for his man cave?  Post a picture of a project that would make him smile.  When you do, mention who it's for and why you made it.  We love the stores behind the projects.

If my Dad were still here (he died when I was thirteen -64 years ago), I would give him this:

             

The original design for this was by Sheila Landry and I made modifications to make the island and cabin look like Pellow's Island in Lake Pivabiska.

This was Dad's favourite place on earth and he would be pleased to know that I love the island just as much, that I am taking care of it in his name, and that it will, eventually, be passed on at least two further generations.

My Dad's been gone ten years now (effin' cancer....), but he was a Texas history buff.  The "Goliad Flag" is one of my very first forays into woodworking, two years ago, but he would've loved it.   He was also an Air Force Vietnam Vet, and had some pretty strong opinions on the politics of that fiasco.  He loved his coffee (black....which is why I think I may be adopted, since I have never gotten the hang of drinking coffee black), and unfortunately shared a lot of the same sense of humor that I have.  Were he still around, I think he would've appreciated these.

Okay!  The 'voices' sign is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.  You just made my day.

Thanks,

Dennis

Sorta swiped that one from a Tshirt I saw at Walmart....which, oddly enough, was ALWAYS sold out.

My dad enjoyed beer. Especially home made.

That's funny!

Here are two photos of the same project. Before and after I  highlighted it with a propane torch.
It is a gift to a police officer. I definitely AM NOT disgracing the American Flag according to the
American flag code and, as a military veteran, hold the American flag in deepest respect.

The stars, as you notice, are represented with used shell casings from the police officer's service weapon.
Approximately 9 3/4" by 17" in 3/4" stock.

Thanks for looking and God Bless! Spirithorse

My dad has been gone a long time now and have memories of me and him hunting together.

I think many dads like fishing.  A Steve Good design.

I actually made this for my brother, for his 60th birthday.  It is a picture of my parents boat that he inherited after dad passed 13 years ago. Dad would have enjoyed it as well.

Terrific puzzle! Even I would enjoy that.

I make and sell cedar boxes with maple inlays in the hinged lid.  Many are bought to give as gifts to men.  Here are examples:
