Stretch's Achievements

  1. Looks Great, I am 63 yrs old
  2. A number of years ago my first grandson Cedric was stillborn. I put off making an urn for him because I originally wanted to turn one on the lathe but my skill level on the lathe has never progressed enough to do the project justice. In the meantime I picked up scrolling and came up with this for his ashes. It is made of Birch and Walnut. I am pleased with the result.
  3. My granddaughters birthday box. I asked her what her favourite animal was and she said she could not choose "I like them all" so I chose lol. The pattern is adapted from Steve Good's "Fancy horse" pattern. The box top and bottom are baltic birch and the sides are white pine. I cut the box part on the bandsaw. I will fill it with smarties because at her age that is probably all she will care about
  4. Made out of cherry wood
  5. I use a pattern from Steve Good, but I can see myself doing it freehand next time, after you have done a few it's more like having a rough guideline.
  6. Every year I do 2 family puzzles one for each of my children's families.
  7. She did but I think she liked the candy even more lol, the other grandkids let me know their favourite animals though
  8. I made this for my granddaughter's 7th brithday. Her favourite animal is the Panda bear.
  9. Put this up today Steve Good pattern.
  10. Just to be clear Canadians don't brag... lol First ever portrait. My sister's cat died recently, unexpectedly and this will be a gift to her. I just need to frame it. Thanks to Grampa who did the pattern for me.
  11. Beautiful work!
  12. I started scrolling 3 years ago ( I do other woodwork as well) I am so amazed at how useful and versatile this tool is! This week I found a new use for it, it's excellent for cutting foamboard cleanly! I have cut Acrylic and all manner of wood products. I wonder has anyone cut Tagua nuts? I was thinking I might be able to do some very intricate jewelry if I cut the nut into slices and scroll it.
  13. This a Steve Good Design. I made it from 1/4-inch maple veneered MDF (left over from some floating shelves I made), this was the first time I ever scrolled anything MDF, and I was shocked at how evenly you cut through it. I have excellent dust collection so that was not a bother. Being MDF I had to paint it. I like to place things like this around the house somewhere and wait to see how long it takes my wife to notice it.
  14. Great job! You pushed this one into my "to-do" list! I might make it into a box
  15. I bought it on Amazon, searched for "coin bank stopper".
