Mo. I miss the days of using my dinghy with a girlfriend too. Zack Butler-4/18/24 The Revos apparently are designed to clamp railroad ties and pull together horrifically prepared joints WaterlooMark 02/9/2020

Here is a view Grumpy and his message set solidly in place.
If you look closely, you can see where I played with the grain all through the layout of the piece. The sap lines in the upper and lower frame, form a "circular" pattern. The lighter grain flows across the lettering, and would continue if the letters were all in line. The circular pattern continues thru Grumpy with the lighter grain. I love to play with the grain patterns in the wood, and try and do so in all my projects. The Drawer fronts in my Gunsmith's Box is a good example. I took HOURS to cut each drawer front, but it paid off.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man - By the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

When I saw the message, I thought it was shop furniture. But then I found out it was a toybox for a 2 yo. Well, it works for shop furniture too--especially in my shop which always seems to be "less than neat".

I love that, maybe I should put the same message across the front of my shop cabinets...
You know... to be fair and all.

Looks great, and what a funny concept for a message on the top of a kid's toy chest!

Kingwood, thats the front, the top is a bench seat. It's just laying on its back for the installation.

I had a scrap of the walnut left over, and the underside of the lid called to me.
Now, when they open the toy box to put away toys, POW... my granddaughter's name is RIGHT there. POW... Isla... oops, WE call her Izzy... and since Grumpy made the toy box... guess what it screams....
Yup. Who loves yah baby?

Nice work.
Jim, are you going to put an anti-slam gizmo on that by chance? |
