Intro to Scrollsawing

We had an unusual weeknight with nothing scheduled to do so I asked Braden what he wanted to do and he said he wanted to make something in my shop so we went down and started planning what he wanted.  He said he wanted to draw and cut out a Pokemon so that's what we did....well at least started.  He found one he liked so we took a piece of paper and traced the shape out over top of my iPad.  The printer still isn't hooked up after the desk building.   We used spray adhesive to stick it to a piece of 1/4" plywood and started our scrollsaw lesson.  This is the first time Braden has used the scrollsaw so we talked about safety and shop safety first, but soon started cutting.  


We got this much done tonight. We stopped after about 20 minutes because his attention span had run out and he was ready to play Pokemon a little while before bed.  We'll finish it another day...or not, just whatever he wants to do.
