Halloween decorations

[nickao]

Not sure if I ever posted these before.

Made of plywood scrap and my 9 year twins did all the painting. Not perfect, but the twins did a lot of the work so for me they are perfect.

The colored areas are routed pockets and the raised outlines are easily painted afterword with a roller with black paint. So the kids can just slap on the paint, just paint in the pockets with no regard to the raised lines. Then I roll on the black on the raised lines. If these are made and painted with care they are sellable at Halloween time. The pockets are about 5/16ths deep and most all colored areas are pocketed.

I will dig out one that is perfect, I have made all different signs like this, football logos, etc. Lately I do them on my home built CNC with ease(well once you get them designed and programmed in), but they are simple to hand route as well.

If I already showed these I apologize.

Oh, I got most of the designs from free online coloring books.

Those are cool and it looked like a great time putting them together.

I love doing things like that with my kids.

Yes it is fun! The kids did the Wendy on the cnc instead of me hand routing. They actually drew(well traced it) in the cad/cam software and then helped me make the tool paths. Man these kids know computers so well at age 9 and learn so fast! My on is trying to design a mask right(last air bender) now and I will make it in 3d for him out of hard board foam insulation when he gets done.
