My Early Steam Train
« on: May 31, 2011, 02:22:04 am »
I cut this some time back when first getting started I just wanted to share it so that y'all
know I really do make sawdust. It was my first attempt with my own pattern made from a photo.
I'm keeping it out of the kindling box to look back and see if I have improved or not.
I'm still wondering when summer is going to get here, GLOBAL WARMING MY a$$!

Color is a little wonky the background is actually blue so you can see what happens without the flash.

Excellent cutting Gabby.  My Uncle would love that.  He has a room that is basically a model train setup a huge investment of time and effort and that cutting would fit the room nicely.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great pattern, It looks good. Showed it to my wife and she loved it; her father owned a full size sight-seeing train that ran back and forth between two cities in mid Michigan.

Well done, Gabby.
Well, the heat came to Ontario yesterday.  With the humidex, it is 29 Celcius (38 C with the humidex) here in London now.  I love it--am riding my bike too and from work each day.  It's coming your way--someday :-))
