The project

I've mentioned a few time about the Eagle project I've been helping with. Well, the project is nearly done and I thought I'd post a few pictures. This young man was told that the City of Sutherlin was wanting tables for the park. Right now, they have four tables total, with only one in the pavilion. The city was wanting a minimum of six. After sitting down and working out a budget with his adviser, our Boy Scout approached different businesses in town and asked them to sponsor a table for $125. The board of our Blackberry Festival sponsored two tables and added $25/table to have them painted purple. Other businesses heard about that and added their dollars for specialized painting. The end results are thirteen very colorful tables.


I don't have a finished product picture but here's what most of the frames look like. Most of them are all one color but some of them have different colored boards bolted on. Two of the purple ones have yellow boards, one blue one has red boards, and a red one has a blue top and white benches.


Our scout had the name of the sponsoring company routered into the center board of the table. He knew Mike had cut the letters for Cameron's project, so asked him to cut his boards. Here, Mike is doing fine detailing on the logo for a local wood products company after free-handing the rest of the logo.


Our young man being shown by his adviser how to get the spacing right on the table boards. We were happy that this paint cured to a duller orange than what you see here!

He still has a couple of badges to earn before he can send in his application for Eagle rank but he's working on them right now and since his birthday isn't until February, I have no doubt he'll get it.
