Need a pattern
« on: April 16, 2014, 05:52:18 am »
I wanted to do something special for my son for his birthday. He is an insulator working in Alberta Here is a picture of him at a job. Looks scary, he is is the forefront. I am planning to make a lighted box with the light shining through the  fretwork. This type of job is not for the faint of heart. If you can please cut out the arm and the person standing in the background. Thanks in advance for your help.Thanks Clyde

Good job there, Dave. Definitely not an easy photo to work with.

I had to wait to post as my sons birthday was yesterday and I did not want to give it away before then just incase he come in to the forum and look around.Anyhow Thanks daveo the pattern was great, a little tricky in places and  a challenge. It is a picture of my son working on a dome structure, he will be very pleased. I made a box and placed a light inside to add to the piece. This is my forst like thsi but certainly will not be my last.
