Hugh,

Thats a good idea. Thanks for showing the pic. I may make one of those for my ******s house.

all that in 1 morning

cut painted and assembled all in 1 morning

WOW Hugh

you are very good to get all that done in just 1 morning

I like the woodpecker door knocker

[Hi_Ho_Sliver]

really nice job Hugh! And I especially like the colors you used....fast too, thought you were getting old and slow

[Hugh]

Just old Dave. The knocker isn't very detailed. Rather a simple one. I made a couple of them actually. I find, that lots of times it is as easy to cut out two of something as one. You have the tools and everything ready. Thanks all for the positive remarks.

That's what I was thinking too, Hugh ..... "One DAY ?? That's a typo ... he meant one WEEK."
It takes me a day to find the chunk of wood I want to draw on a pattern.
No wonder the things you do more slowly are so magnificent.
And being old is no excuse ... I'm old too, not fast.

Is that the pattern that was on the accents in pine web page???????????????

I do like it and I am going to try and make 1 after the first of the year.

Will take me longer than a few hours to make it though.

For me painting it will take longer than anything

I hate to paint

Yup, that is the address that Mothy posted. Wayne I modified mine a little. Used screws to hold it together #10 1 1/4 " to hold the side pieces. Left the dowel float free until after it was painted. If you make it for a door bell, just cut out a notch 1/2 the length of your door bell button, position the bird over the button, and put the screws to it. Three 2", #10 screws to hold it on the house. Figured the kids might get a kick out of pulling the string.(two children came over tonite and rang the door bell)

Thanks Hugh
I have downloaded the pattern
Think I am going to do a few after the Hollidays
Not sure if I want it on the outside
or on the inside on the bathroom door
might be a good conversation item on the inside bathroom door

I did the one without the crown
