Default Crossed Swords

I was surfing the net the other day looking for ideas for stuff to practice cutting on when I came across a photo of two people in karate outfits with crossed swords silhouetted by the sky. It just screamed to be done in wood, so I put an oval around the two and with a little modification, I had a pattern to cut. I slapped it onto a bit of 1"x6" (simply because that is what was handy lol) and proceeded to cut.

You are right about that. I already have plans for my next little project. I have found a gear template generator online that I am going to use to make a pair of working gears.
wooden gear cutting template
Once I get a little experience cutting working gears, I am going to try to come up with some type of wooden machine to build. I haven't decided what it is going to do just yet or what it is going to look like. The gears in my mind are turning (hmm... that statement sounds like a project for way down the line ) and I will come up with something.
