I know I said I wouldn't do another scroll/jig saw project ....

Post by rjent »

But my wife, bless her heart, has a decades long dear friend who is probably not going to be with us much longer who is having her 65th birthday next month. She told me to do one ... "she likes butterflies" enough said.

I actually had fun doing this one. Who knew? :D

Great work. I keep telling myself that I need to make a scroll saw project; but, I never get around to it.

Thanks guys. I actually enjoyed this one. I guess the removal of the unknown reduces the pressure. I need to be thinking of something else I can do .... :D

Dennis, thanks for noticing LOL, and my writeup is coming soon. Been busy. I am a long way from finishing the kitchen yet, but I have enough to do some show and tell.

JPG, it is amazing what water will do LOL, we even have flush toilets here .... :D
