1st scroll saw project 1st scroll saw project No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

I am blessed to have two wonderful step-children that I consider as my own. Today my husband, daughter and I were in the garage and she was watching me cut some wood on the scroll saw. I decided to trace her hand and see if I could cut it out. Well here is the finished project. I still have a lot of work to do on turns. I could not get my turns as tight as I wanted them but I would not take anything for this small project. It is something my husband and I will cherish always. Hope you enjoy.

Way to go Pinky. Just keep cutting anything you can find and pretty soon it will come easily.

What a great idea. I think my grandkids would like to do it themselves. My 6 year old is a wiz on the scroll saw.

See, you’re already getting rewards from scrolling. I know you’ll keep those forever. Don’t forget to date them.

This is a nice project. I have made copies of both my grandsons hands and have been meaning to do the same thing. This is something that you will cherish. It is destined to be a family heirloom.

Good job. Another project that you might try is have a step-child set in a chair. set up a light and trace a side head shadow on a sheet of paper and cut that out.

Deputy: Great job, I had never thought of that, but I bet it would be great in a picture frame box for grandmother and mother

Or it would be a good place to hang the pink hancuffs when you’re not using them to keep hubby out of your hair. :-)

It’s the reasons for making a project that I find the most interesting in the post, and it’s the reason you’ll always cherish this, good work.

fantastic.
Now I’m envisioning a series of hands (same child) taken every year on his/her birthday and then glued together to make a 3-d sculpture.

There is something so cool about the feet and hands of little children. What a wonderful way to preserve the image of a child!

nice project. I wish that my first or even third attempt had looked that good. I believe most of my attempts at the scroll saw have ended up in the scrap pile with long streams of not so nice words trailing off in the distance. keep up the good work.
