    ►How to make a classic piggy bank! Just cut out all the templates and glue it all together. If you don't have a bandsaw, a jigsaw or coping saw would work fine. Get creative with the painting too.

    Great little project Steve. Just made a bank for the wife out of cedar to look like a rustic cabin. The rubber plug is all I had to buy. Keep the vids coming.

    Hi Steve, you are right on this being a fun project especially with the kids. I did all the machine work of course but the assembly and painting was up to my little woodworker. Thanks for the plans and for sharing so much.
    OOhhh ya, let's leave the big words alone for right now..... it confuses the other kids. Thanks man.

    Nice one Steve. I will need an 8x4 sheet to make one of these. My daughter is at University and it will need to be big to help her with fees LOL.
    Thanks Steve and my very best regards.

  • @mulekickhandmadeguitars8465
    @mulekickhandmadeguitars8465 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Steve, I slightly changed this design by making the ears all one piece on the piggy's head, instead of separately. So much easier and looks great.

  • @rochdufresne9339

    Looks great my grandfather made something similar for me when I was a kid, for the tail he used an old telephone cord. If you can get your hands on one it may make your pigs tail pop out a little more. Love the projects you do made a few myself. Keep up the great work.

    I like this project and I think my 5 year old daughter will like it. I'm going to try using a pipe cleaner for the tail. I've only recently found your channel, but I've seen enough to know people like to say "I dislike the music on your video." Just wanted you to know I liked the music.

    Paint the pig green. Then make some birds and paint them red, yellow, blue, black, white and green. Put some sling shots, crates and eggs, too.
    Now that would make an ultimate child's gift!

    I love how you said both "Now I can get started on the pig's face" and "Now I can start to glue the head on". It sounds like something torturous you would say to someone which sounds pretty freaking funny "I'm going to glue your head on man" or "I'm going to glue your face on man" lol!!!!
