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.

W. Ben Hunt (1888-1970) was born in the town of Greenfield, Wisconsin.
Ben Hunt was a leader in the outdoor movement and in the reintroduction of pioneer skills. He introduced subjects such as rustic woodworking, whittling and carving, metal working, and historic Indian crafts and lore as hobbies and handicrafts for fun and leisure-time activities. He was involved with the Boy Scouts on a local and national level.
Dad would like that people are still interested in his projects.

Wow, just read my response and I should really read them before I hit the publish comment. Your dad's slides are a lot fun to create and from what I've seen you have quite the talent too! What I tried (and failed) to ask was, do you have dates for the the Roundup in June?

First off, my apologies for not responding sooner. (I dont get many comments so I'm not great for them.) Do have dates for the roundup? I was invited last year but I was going to be on trek with my crew the week before and then Covid...
