Very nice job on the bed.  ;)

I made some doll sized tables and chairs for two of my grand daughters (I have three now) for Christmas about 7 or 8 years ago. The upholstery was made by gluing some velvet to pieces of scrap wood which was then glued to the chairs.
Sorry for the bad photo, it was taken with my old camera.  :(

Great job on the table and chair. That looks like it was made with a lot of love.

Don't you just love the look on their faces when they see the gifts? It makes it
all worth the time we put in on the saw.

Jack and Roger you made some terrific things for your granddaughters.  I made things like that for my granddaughter and you know what she loved and played with the most? A car I made for my grandson!  :D :D :D :D

Thank you for all the nice remarks.  My Christmas has grown each year.  It starts out with  24 Christmas ornaments which have to be finished by Thanksgiving.
That is one of our traditions. Everyone gets a handmade ornament to exchange. Then on to the Christmas list.  I try to make everyone in our family a
handcrafted gift.  Last year I made my Grandson a 50 cal. machine gun that shot 50 rubber bands  at a time.  That was a trip. ;D  It was on a 3 ft Tripod, that swiveled
I don't know who enjoyed it more,  me making it, or my grandson playing with it.   He called it the Eliminator. 
Thanks again, and keep on making sawdust.

I've made something for each of my grandchildren every year for the last 7 or 8 years. I have five grandkids, two boys and three girls and now they range in age from 6 to 15. It is getting harder and harder to come up with something different each year.
I made everything from doll furniture and jigsaw puzzles to keepsake boxes and even a bed headboard for a queen size bed.
The older kids (parents) get the same thing every year.......$......and seem to enjoy it. :)
And I enjoy making all the games, trucks, rocking horses and puzzles etc. etc.
Thanks for the comments.
