An ampersand...Why certainly madam - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Hobbyhorse · 11-06-2009, 06:28 AM

One of the shops I supply recently asked for an ampersand. My answer was "why certainly madam" and then I scurried off to the dictionary and then Google images.

Cheers,

Rhys

G'day Rhys,
That looks neat mate.
I'd have been scratching my head as well.
Now if they'd asked for an "and Sign" I may have had a fighting chance.

Morning Rhys - that's real neat and a great idea, and as usual, beautiful work

That's one of a kind Rhys! You did a real nice job pulling it off. Cool.

Very nice Rhys. You are quite inventive. I especially like the perfectly vertical cut line that joins the two drawers. I pulls the piece together.

Beautiful Rhys, Care to share your pattern or allow a copy?
Have a friend this would be perfect for. She say's "and" at least four times a sentence and i pick on her a little. ( When her hands are empty) I call her AndY. Clever huh.
Again, Beautiful work! Would look great with a nice knotty piece of red ceder too. Thanks for sharing Rob Oily
