We were supposed to meet in May, but we just couldn't get there.
(start with a piece of 4 x 4 plywood, and sketch whatever it is you want to make)
Swap is tonight.
(drill holes the same diameter as your jigsaw blade at all the end points)
In fact, this post is on a delay, so I should be starting on my first beer right about....now.
(carefully connect the dots)
It may take me a couple before I'm able to let this guy go.
(prime)
I love him.
(add corner brackets at the base to act as a support)
He's the rooster I'll never have.
(paint whatever colors strike your fancy)
By the way, have I mentioned that I'll be getting chicks next spring?
(seal with polyurethane. Twice.)
I hope he likes his new home.
(decide more than 3 hours before you are giving him away if you are going to attach him to a stand or not because the polyurethane won't have time to dry. ahem.)
Fly away my fine feathered friend. You may have a brother in my immediate future.
omg!

I love this guy. Very Marvin Finn. He'd look just fine down amongst his cousins in Waterfront Park near the ballfield!
