Brag Forum / Jezus Plaque

« on: January 11, 2015, 03:01:25 pm »

Made a Jezus plaque. (Jesus in Dutch).
I did see the great projects here and made a pattern in Dutch.
Now I have a question, should I use a backer or not?
And is I do, what's best, 1/8 ply or cardboard?
or maybe no backer, just as it is?
made from 1/2 cherry wood, "16"long.
needs a finish, thinking on using Danish oil.

This week in Holland we have a memorial celebration week that 70 years ago the south of our country was liberated from the war.
Operation Market Garden, also called 1 bridge to far.
All kind of events and lots of reanactors and old vehicles.
people jump with parachutes and also modern USA soldiers come over to join the parades and give demonstrations.

We can't give enough honor to those who liberated us and even more who to them who gave their lives back then doing so!!
Freedom is the most precious gift we have!

The Coffee Shop / Today Dutch Day of National Mourning

« on: July 23, 2014, 04:37:29 pm »

Last week a Malaysian commercial air plane departed from Amsterdam was shot by rockets over the Ukrainian country.
all 298 people where killed and almost 200 of them where Dutch.
Today is proclaimed as a national day of mourning in Holland as the first 40 bodies arrived back in our country.
All bodies where taken to a military base for identification and the 40 cars containing the 40 people were escorted by police and people payed great respect.
Truly a sad day in our history!
