over the hill - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Hi Im looking for a fairly simple project to make as a gag gift for a fella we will be camping with next weekend. I was thinking something in line of simple desk clock or something with the words "time is running out" or a plaque type thing that says "older than dirt" or some other quirky saying. Possibly even with a figure of a really old codger or something.I dont recall seeing anything like that in here, but chances are there is something. So, if you can find me a thread with one, please poke me in the eye and point me to it! Thanx in advance!
edit: I was even looking for something like Emmitts postings of a "REEL OLD" but most of his reel patterns arent showing up for me for some reason.

Thanks WD: I followed your link to Steve Good's site and just blew almost two hours going over his last year of posts. Several good entries in there.

Dale, here are a few that might be what you're looking for:
Scrollsaw Workshop: #1 Trophy Scroll Saw Pattern
Scrollsaw Workshop: Made in the 50's

Dale,
Let me take a look for some appropriate clipart or something to toss in with the words. I'll try to come up with something today.

Here's my first shot Dale. If you like the graphic and would prefer other words, let me know.

lucky788scroller · 08-12-2009, 06:09 PM

Thanks Kevin. I like the graphic. If it wouldnt be to much trouble, could you change the text to say simply "Older than SHI* ? (I censorized my post, but the actual cutting needs not be censored) . Thank you
