You going to make one for football season also.

Looks great. Nice job.

Very clever and well done. Bet it was a hit in the neighborhood.

Charlie Brown Christmas. Neat idea.

“made easy”—well you made it SOUND easy… but I’m still back at “jigsaw” ... well done!
right out of the comics.

A Chistmas Classic! Looks great and very classy unlike the blow up yard junk freaks around my house…LOL The characters look very, very good. Excellent job.

These are great pieces. Just curious, did you find plans for the characters or design them yourself? I would love to build the characters from the traditional Grinch story, but cannot find any plans.

Tom,

I found simple pictures on the net (simple as in not a lot of colors or odd angles). I imported the pics into Autocad and adjusted them to be about 3 ft tall. I then used the spline function to trace the pics. I took the file to Kinkos and used their plotter to print out the characters. Then I traced the patterns onto the plywood.

Excellent. That’s what I needed to know. Now I can plan my next steps.
