65frank Report post Posted June 5, 2017 This has been in progress for about 18 months; well...I had the kit just didn't do anything to it until last week. It's for my oldest, she picked it out and asked me to do it for her. I hated the tooling pattern that came with it so I made my own. I finished the tooling yesterday, it was a beautiful day but I spent it inside so I could get it done. I hope to complete the finish and assemble it this week (we'll see, I'm a scout leader and have a ton of work to get done). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJole Report post Posted June 5, 2017 Nice work! The floral style isn't my thing, but that's a pretty good job there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
65frank Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Well progress has been extremely slooooowwwwwwww. For a current empty nester my schedule is amazingly and irritatingly full. Hopefully I can finish this before my daughter turns 25 (she's 21 now). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sofaspud Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Nice job. I particularly like your decorative cuts. That is something I really struggle with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, I did to for a long time. I just watched a bunch of youtube videos, got myself a quality swivel knife and practiced, practiced practiced. I also stopped thinking too much before I made the cuts and more importantly, slowed down and tried not to rush them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
65frank Report post Posted July 5, 2017 I finally finished the project. Did it over the weekend at Scout Camp. Gave it to her Sunday and she loves it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpymann Report post Posted July 5, 2017 And I love it too! (70's TV reference. Thought I can't remember where). She could be proud to own it and you to have made it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
