Got my Sisters Christmas presents done today
« 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.

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
