You made a picture for Christmas? Dang, I knew Mobile was behind the times, but I thought they had cameras long ago.

Very cool.
If I was still a kid, I'd want at least one of those.
Hey wait, maybe I still do . . . . ;-)

Really, those are pretty neat. I made a couple like that several years ago and donated to a toy drive for kiddies. It's amazing ... the simple toys are still very appreciated by little kids.
Where did you get your patterns? I bought a book that had about 2 dozen patterns for toys, including pull toys like waddling ducks and a tug boat and stuff. Wonder where it is?

Steve Martin once said " let's get small" that is the only way I'd fly that thing.

Damm, I miss that stuff
If i were Mrs. BB, i would beat the snot out of you for messing up my washer.
(For complicated items, spray cans are the only way to fly!)
I was thinking the same thing!

That is really cool.
When I was little my neighbor had gotten some sort of propeller that hooked to the handlebars of his bike. I told my parents I wanted one really bad; but we didn't have a lot of money. I remember my dad disappeared for much of the day, and when he finally came in he had made a propeller for me. My dad was no woodworker but he had spent his Saturday making it out of a solid piece of 4x4. It was kind of crude but it spun just like my friends, even though his had came from the store.
I didn't realize it at the time, but that propeller would end up meaning more to me than any other thing he ever gave me.
I hope your kid(s) appreciate it as much as I did mine.
