This is a quest to make all the slides featured in the Whittlin Jim's "Slide of the Month" in Boy's Life magazine. (Hopefully without doing lasting damage to my hands or fingers.) Blogging my progress along the way. I completed my task in March of 2017 and now post my own designs along with some other "Slide of the Month" contributors.

Jointed Monkey
Sometime between 2012 and 2015
Time to carve: 3.5 hours
Finishing: 2 hour
Fun little slide to make. The time listed was for carving all the little parts that will be glued together to make the finished slide. Some parts were painted with craft paints and some were left the natural red or white maple. The eyes are a couple of pins that were cut down and glued into some holes drilled into the head. A couple of coats of poly finish it off.
