Hello,

I'm not sure why you couldn't draw your own! Try it.

Simple enough to draw in Inkscape using paths

use your printer to scale to appropriate size, cut tail off for front end.

make tray a separate item

Thank's for the replies i will have a go using inkscape as my drawing is terrible well a bit like my woodworking lol
Alan :lol:

Option 2:

find picture
print to required size
trace outline with pencil on thin or greaseproof paper
glue to wood
cut etc

From the above sketch, the worlds most expensive pse pine (diy store as it was less knotty and straighter than the builders merchants), a bandsaw and a bit of paint. A quick pressie for the old dear - her two four legged 'grandchildren', Tad the Westie and Buster the border collie awaiting paint (although at the moment he looks more like a retriever :roll: )

Cheers folks, a simple woodworking project for youngsters or beginners and of course one could use a coping saw etc.
Obviously the idea and designs are from a photo in the link in the first post above, so if anyone wants to purchase a planter go there and buy one

And now Buster has his coat

I really wanna use the f word and say they look fkin awesome ! They look like a pair of excited pals. Seeing them finished side by side has made me smile.
I like everything about them ! The black outlines also highlight the different layers really well.
When they've got flowers in them aswell.....amazing ! My favourite project I've seen for a while.

Nev, how about getting a couple name tags engraved with their names on- only a couple quid each from eBay.
I'd hammer a post in the grass and have a long chain going to them- that'd really give the neighbours cause for concern ! :lol:

I'd have never thought of doing them on a scrollsaw, that'd be even more bespoke !
I think I'm a little obsessed with them- sorry :lol:

Just for you Coley, the finishing touch

Absolutely fantastic Nev ! I'm not sure I could have parted with them. What was the new owners reaction ?

The recipient (my mum) was well chuffed, as were Tads 'parents', looks like I have to make another one or two. and a cat. Only problem is 'they're too nice to put outside unless we refurb the garden' #-o
