StacRobots

Mornin!

As I've said before, last year I started making home-made gifts for my family.  I already told you about The Owlies for DD.  Well, here's what I made for DS- StacRobots!  

I had them wrapped with a card-stock label I'd printed and when DS opened them, he thought they were from the store!  High praise, indeed ;-)!

Here is how they "stack".

 When I was looking for something to make out of wood, I found this link, which made the stacrobots from skateboards!

I tried a few different cuts from 1x3 pine,

 but these smaller ones didn't quite stack the right way.

So, I made them bigger using 1x4 pine.  The silver ones are the size of my hand. 

I used the miter saw to cut the length, then the jig saw to cut the rest. I also used the dremel tool to sand the round part between the legs.  Then I sanded the whole thing with sandpaper and painted with some silver                                                                 paint I'd bought at the Restore.

                                                                   Happy Stacking!
