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.

O A Slide 3
Sometime between 2012 and 2015
Time to make: 1.5 hours
Finishing: 1.5 hour
This one hold some nostalgia for me as I had a neckerchief slide just like this when I finished my ordeal. I had bought it at the camp store and brought it home to paint. I think it was made of plaster and with many moves, somewhere it got lost. Well this one is made out of maple and I used a coping saw to cut it out. The arrow is made from a dowel and the arrowhead and fletching is made from some reflective plastic tape.
