Popular Post Dave Monk Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 26, 2021 We were so happy that our son and granddaughters made the trip from IL to Texas during spring break to spend the past few days with us. My grand daughter showed me artwork she designed on her laptop. I asked her if she would be interested in going to my shop to make it into a picture in wood. She agreed which totally tickled me. Nothing better than being able to share my passion with someone I love. I think she did an awesome job. I found it interesting that she liked my Hegner much better than my Pegas. She said that she felt like she had much more control. Dan, jollyred, frankorona and 19 others 20 2 Quote

Scrappile Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 You should get a pattern of the second picture of her holding her art work, cut it and send to her... with love from grandpa.... Dave Monk and GPscroller 1 1 Quote

Jeff I bought my first scroll saw about five years ago thinking it might be fun for me and my grandsons to play with. My grandsons couldn't have cared less but I got hooked. Happy my granddaughter liked it. GPscroller 1 Quote
Charlie E Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Wow, she really did a great job. That's a lot of cutting for a youngster. And the fact that she'll think of you whenever she sees it is a great bonus! Dave Monk 1 Quote
wombatie Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 She did an awesome job and the fact that she had a preference in saws is outstanding. A moment to cherish. Marg Dave Monk 1 Quote
Tomanydogs Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Wow if that’s her first project on a scroll saw she cut much straighter lines then I ever did my first time. Well done to her and a very special time for both of you. Dave Monk 1 Quote
Dan Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 She sure got you genes. Great job, young lady! Dave Monk 1 Quote

Bill WIlson Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Priceless. More important than any project made are the memories of the time spent together. Dave Monk 1 Quote
