Popular Post heppnerguy Posted July 31, 2025 Popular Post Report Posted July 31, 2025 I got started on some tuck ins for family members. This is a Sue Mey pattern that I thought would make a nice small add on gift for family members this year. I cut this on 1/4 inch bambo, using a #1 Pegas spiral blade. The come in several different internal parts and this is the one I will be be gifting for family members that do not have young kids any longer. When I finish this one I will cut a different one for those that do have young children and I will post that one in a couple of days from now. I will have some where in the neighborhood of approximately maybe 20 to cut all together. Looks like I will be buying more of these blades soon as I only have about a dozen left, I believe.

Need a minimum of 36. When I started this tradition, I think it was about 20. Marriages, kids, etc. have grown the list. (And that doesn't include the juveniles--under 18--they get something different. Quote

Marg I am considering using the outer section for all of them and inserting some of my own center parts so as not to be too repetitious. Dick heppnerguy Quote

I am considering doing some changes just to the middle that I think may be more to the receivers liking, also not so repetitious. I too am out of wood now so i need a trip to the wood store and they are so darn far away. Dick heppnerguy Quote
