1st scroll saw project

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

Cool! Tell her Uncle Greg says Hi. I hope you plan to make a frame for it.

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.

-- Bruce from Central New York

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

Well, that’s something they will like once they grow up.

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.

I have step grand kids that I feel are mine. Arn’t they great! Doing something with them is what makes these projects priceless. Thanks for posting.

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.

Nice project PHG. I like Ron’s idea, above, too.

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.

THIS IS REALLLY A GREAT PROJECT, ONE OF THOSE WHY DID’NT I THINK OF THAT THINGS.

I HOPE YOU DONT MIND ME STEALING (uh) BORROWING THE IDEA, MOTHERS DAY IS COMING.

-- Can't is not a word

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.

Go right ahead Ray!!!

Great idea MsDeb

-- Please bless me in woodworking, Adrian is my husband and teacher!!!

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.
