  1. A well cut and interesting piece of fishing art! Try trading it for something at the local fishing supplies store; NOT a chain store though.
  2. A very nice assortment. All are done well too.
  3. NEAT!
  4. Do not leave outside in NM?MN this week; they will freeze! Very cute little guys!

    Now & Then

    Toys being played with by Great grandson. The man cave toys( bottle opener cars) are relatively new 2 years old at the most. The tow truck is dated 7-2000 on the bottom. I had brought it out of the dust for him to play with. Now I am going to have to make more tow-trucks. May end up a much different VINTAGE style though.
  9. A. Great cutting! B. I am a fan of old barn wood. C. Suggestion for backer; definitely the old barn wood -- Enough larger that the sign becomes a door on a barn shaped background-- old paint left as is and then just clear coated over all of it. Maybe add a name or?? on the side or on the hayloft as was often done. D. I and I am sure; many others want to see the final results!
  10. Neatly done optical illusion!
  11. They all have trees; so they are woodsy! Great pictures. I like the waterfalls even though they are not tall, still beautiful.
  12. A very well done and thoughtful gift!
  13. NEAT!
  14. Now I have seen a project that I can do equally as well on. I usually have made poor imitations of most of the ones I try to copy!
  15. Ah the old farm, boys like this. Well done. Les and I have both the teach the calves to drink from pails thing.
  16. Well done. A fine use of smaller wood pieces too.
  17. A very nice project.
  18. A lot of interesting work there. All unusual' which means I like it well.
  19. Well done. Hope they paid for all the holiday spending that happens!
  20. Very nicely done.
  21. Very nice! What is the size on that one ?
  22. Those are very nice.
  23. A tray made from unknown, maybe cherry? --- just to pretty to let become smoke and ashes. The glasses are also a rescue from some desserts. It is about 16 inches long, 1/2 inch thick 3-1/2 wide and about 4 inches tall to the top of the glasses. I had actually cut the blank and had it lying in my way; not knowing at all what to do with it. I opened the drawer in the tool kit where I had stored the rescued glasses and then knew exactly what to do with it. It was just setting the hole drill the right size and going from there. The finish is merely enough spray poly to keep it from shedding. The feet ( also unknown--I think these are locust, but not even close to sure!) are pinned on with bamboo skewers-, I put cheapie felt feet on the bottom to be able to set it anywhere. My daughter-in-law saw it and said that and some beer will be a good birthday present for a family friend having a birthday this week. Fine by me-- just made it to MAKE IT anyway!
  24. Total agreement with meflick~. A suggestion about the photography; use a pillow case, towel, posterboard or ?? to give your self a clean background. The work will look even better then. I do not always take my own advice, but try to have a clean background most of the time.
  25. I have to agree! V E R Y --- C O O L !
