I just hope you all can see them more clearly because I sure can’t! Time to save up for some reading glasses. In the main picture I decided to color Charlie differently to make the project more interesting.  Hope you all can make them, the crew will look Amazing on any lawn!

I don’t have any coordinates for Woodstock. I just drew him on wood and that was it. Oh, I also lightly engraved or carved them up a bit for added details. Here is a better closeup; I hope that helps. Maybe in the near future I will include him. That all depends on time…ticktock…ticktock, I’m out of time.

Just in time for the Holidays! I did this project for an old friend of mine from my hometown here in Texas by the Rio Grande Valley. Stands at around 44″ tall and by 24″ wide. I enjoyed seeing this project come to life.

 

The Stuff

I screwed 1/2 ” pipe clamps to the backside to be used with 1/2″ rebar as a stake.

I use two clamps with stainless steel screws. Make sure you are not using too long of screws or it might (will) go to the other side.

Here I got two different types of clamps and bars. 1/2″ clamps are for the 1/2″ re-bar and the 3/4″ clamps are for the 3/4″ cement stakes. I recommend using the 1/2″ re-bar. Its cheaper and works fine.

 

Some Tools

I own two jigsaws; a Bosch and this one from Skil. Both work great! The Bosch has more power, but this one has a scrolling feature that allows the saw blade to completely go around making sharp turns a snap!

The Project; Frozen’s Olaf

Here is a picture of the rough draft and following are the grid coordinates to the project.

Hopefully you can zoom in on them! By the way, this project and many others are in my Christmas e-book selling at Amazon.com called…”Christmas Projects for the Family.” While there, checkout my Halloween e-book as well, it has fourteen projects selling for only $2.99; called “Halloween Projects for the Family.”

Best of luck!

P.S. I might be undoing the way I categorize things and just post whatever comes to mind. “What are your thoughts on that?”
