Bill, this is a wonderful story and a nice post.

Thanks for sharing.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

As a Scoutmaster myself, this was well done. I have a Troop of about a dozen boys. Two of them have completed their Eagle and this project is very worthy of that honor. I will say that the award is more about “leading” a project than the project itself. Since he got it approved by the board, he must have really done a great job in learning the process of instructing those that helped. That is impressive to me. One of my Eagle Scouts tried very hard to have me and another leader take a woodworking project over for him. He caught on that we’d only do what he’d ask and pulled it off in the end. Your son should be proud.

Great project and congratulations to the Eagle Scout!

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

What a wonderful project you did. What really makes it special is you and your boy did it together. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

I’m an Eagle scout myself. So I can appreciate the project, the journey, and the honor. Congratulations. To both of you.

Hey Bill, I have a 14 year old scout thinking about what he wants to do for his Eagle project. I showed him this idea for our church and he really got pumped about it. What I didn’t realize was that he wasn’t allowed to do a project for the church since the troop is chartered through the church. Forgot that rule when we turned it in for preapproval. Drats. We’re now trying to find another organization to do this for. They liked the idea so long as it didn’t benefit the Troop, Chartered Org., or his family. We have a couple scout friendly lumber sources that hopefully will come through for him as well as a Troop that is into the hand’s on things. Thanks for the idea.

This post brought back many memories from my Scouting days and my Eagle Scout project. I completed mine in 1980 so the memories do last a lifetime. I didn’t make anything as nice as this, but memoried just the same. Your son now has memoreis for a lifetime. You can be pround of your’s and his accomplishments.
