Title: Got my Sisters Christmas presents done today
Post by: arkiewood on December 11, 2013, 10:52:00 pm
I made three of these for my Sisters for Christmas. I know there a lot of mistakes and miscuts in them but I hope they won't notice. HA HA

I have a lot to learn and need lots of practice. Hope to get a better quality saw soon.

Thanks, that is what I thought. If they don't see the pattern they may not find the mistakes as easy.

Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments. My wife said "I am not going to see you much anymore am I"
I replied, " Sure you are dear, when you bring my coffee and Dr. Pepper to me"

Then the fight started. Haha
She is  a great wife and supports me in anything i do.

I don't see the mistakes and miscuts either.
A better quality saw isn't going to keep those from happening anyway. Only practice and patents will do that! You are doing just fine with the saw you have. :)

Very nice cutting. There are no mistakes, just unique accent marks. Looks perfectly wonderful. She will love this gift. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice.

I've been scrolling for about 11 months and I still worry about those miscuts even though I know no one else knows they are there.  A couple of days later and I can't see them either.  :D

Very nice!  Thanks for sharing and am sure she will love it.  Is the hummingbird cut out of yellowheart or something else?  :)

That is an excellent piece of work, and you have got a very nice finish on it. Your sister will love it.  (and only you know if there were any mistakes - especially once the pattern has been removed.)

Those are 3 nice presents.  And I agree with the others - "what mis-cuts?  On another note, how did you get your wife to bring you coffee etc. while you work?   ;)  Share the secret.
