Making of Minecraft Swords for Micah's Birthday Party

My grandson, Micah, is about to have a birthday, and his Dad, David, asked me if I could make some wood Minecraft swords for the party. So, of course, I had to.

I looked up what they look like and drew one out using Paint on my computer.

Then, I enlarged it and split the image so it would print to one 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.

I pasted the images on a piece of cardboard and cut it out. Then, I used that as a template to draw swords on some 1/4 inch pieces of plywood.

Then, today, I cut the swords from the plywood pieces and sanded off the rough edges.

Lego International Space Station

 David's family gave me this Lego International Space Station for my birthday about a week late, but that's ok. I worked on it over two days and it took me about 6 hours total to put it together. Well, it did have 864 pieces.
