The concept behind this is that we will have the attending kids participate in a treasure hunt. I will hide 4 keys (all duplicates) around the house or bury th...

Home made Freddy Glove

With Halloween quickly approaching I decided to try my hand at making a Freddy glove. I used 26gauge Steel for the blades and fingers. I cut everything out of sheet metal and formed it by hand.
