Latest yard work. 50" tall from 1/2" sub-flooring, next painting. Not many days left!

That looks great - I've never done any yard "art".

Picture doesn't do it justice. Saw it in person and wondered...How did he do that? Beautiful!!!

Very nice. My wife would love this.

Here's the plan. It can all be cut with a jigsaw. The easiest fix for the notches is to simply saw a beveled relief on the backside of the fence pieces, if you decide to make it. Drill 'clearance' holes at all of the sharp turns. Get tracing paper from Winfield or stores like AC Moore. Bigger the better, i.e. 14" X 17". Takes about 3-4 hours to cut out.

Joe, I do not know how I missed this - looks great:icon_thum - thanks for the info - this will have to be a next year project - have you gotten it painted yet?

Nice job. Funny you said jig saw. I used to do all of my scrolls with a jig saw and an overhead projector before I discovered scroll saws and transfer paper.

Thanks, I've got it primed, but hoping for a 'warm' day to spray the top coat.

Ah, you should be ready by Easter then

I disagree with Geoff, I think it looks great both 'live' AND in the picture. :eusa_clap
