Well I've finally got all the cutting done on the Boss' Belated Birthday Gift over a month late already. Now to decide on whether to stain or not, and what backing to use. I'm thinking of stealing some of her fabric and gluing it to the backer board.
I'm in deep stuff already might as well learn how to swim. LOL

There is a saying that goes:

"If they don't get it when they want it,
they'll want it when they get it!"

I'm a great believer in that!
Just in case no one remembers what I'm cutting for her, I've attached the pattern. I believe it's one from Grampa. Oh and it's 3/4" Oak.

Hi Marcel are you talking about the project, or the silly saying?
I included the pattern as it isn't photo read yet.

You could use anything you wish for the saying.
As in puppies or children if the don't get dinner when they want it etc..

I'm referring to the project.
I like to see pictures of the state it's in now so we can follow the progress.

It's perfect of course, would I dare anything less for the Boss?
Along with all the honey do's it'll probably be next month before it's done, I'm still working on her dog agility equipment namely the dog walk shown in the attached photo. Just have to brace the sawhorses it rests on so it's more stable. have finished replacing the hinges previously used to attach the ramps.
Designed and frabicated a type of hangar instead. I got some flat stock about 1/8" by 1" by 10" and heated and rebent is so that the ends set flat against the wood while the center section is raised so that 2 L shaped hooks can hook the 2 parts (ramp and walk trestle) together and also be taken down easily for moving as needed.
Enough of my briliant cobbleing together of assorted parts never intended to be used this way.

Love the pattern. I quilt too, so I have a huge fabric stash myself. The pattern could easily be adapted into one of the oval keychains.

Be my guest LOL
All those little letters would drive me crazy, er uh crazier!
Bad enough as it was. I'm going to cut something totally different next project.

What do you think of a patchwork of fabric strips as a backer, I'm thinking that would enhance the idea?

I would just use the sewing machine outline for a key chain and leave out the letters! I'm not that good a cutter! I think strips of fabric would be a great idea. I'll have to try out the key chain. Whose pattern is it so I can credit them?

Gabby · « **Reply #12 on:** July 08, 2011, 01:58:25 am »

I think it is Grampa Paul's, at least that is what I've been telling everyone, I tried to go back through his posts to see if it was there, but chances are I missed it. I don't have the original any more after I changed it from a silhouette to a line drawing I removed the makers mark to save ink. Sorry!
If someone knows for sure speak up I think Dgman cut it too. I found Dan's post of the sewing machine, and asked him who drew it.
If you do make a key chain from it make the needle go all the way down or it will likely break off easily.

Yes, It is Grampa's pattern!
