Home made scales:a work in progress
on: February 22, 2011, 01:04:00 AM






These are a set of scales I've made from the wood Sparky sent me a few weeks back.They being modelled on the enevitable DofE,although their final destination is probably going to be a Whittler I'm planning of creating on my uncoming holiday.They're not perfect but have a nice feel to them.
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

I did something very similar (I think) a while ago. 



Anyway this was my take on a whittler.

Great job on the scales they turned really nice.

I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
