So I had a half sheet of plywood laying around, and collecting dust. In a future post, I'll explain why it was only a half sheet. Anyway, it was laying around and I decided to try and make something out of it. At first I wanted a HUGE 4 feet by 4 feet state of Missouri cutout, but then I couldn't get the digital projector at my school to zoom out that far. That was the trick by the way. I projected the image onto the wood and traced it in pencil because I have ZERO artistic ability. Instead of 4 X 4, I decided to make it as big as I could. In all honesty, it turned out better than I thought it was going to. I hadn't used a jigsaw in years and I don't think it looks too bad. I still don't know exactly what I'm going to do with it, but I have no doubt that something will come to me. Feel free to leave a comment below if you have a good idea though.
After I was done cutting out Missouri, I realized I still had a little bit of wood left over. Seeing as how I am not one to let...well pretty much anything go to waste, I decided to try a few more cutouts. This time I focused on some fish. I first traced a big male brown trout, then a female rainbow, and finally a trout jumping out of the water. We will see if my jigsaw skills are up to the test for some things a little smaller and a little more intricate. I'll post an update after I complete phase two.
