BBQ


Something a bit different for me.
I'm not great at measuring, cutting out, following written instructions....but I saw this on a blog and thought it would be fun for Father's Day.

Can you tell what it is yet?


The instructions cost just under $3, so £2 via Paypal. They are sent as a pdf file for you to print out and include a template to make a matching card in the shape of an apron.
The card fits inside the BBQ itself and is to hold one of those giftcards you can get in the shops. I'm not giving a gift card so I want to make the greeting card a fair bit larger, hopefully get that done for the next blog post.

Here's the completed BBQ. I haven't copied the original exactly in that I haven't put wheels on (don't have the correct size punches) and also a temp gauge missing from the lid.
The instructions were very straightforward although I was concerned at one point that it wasn't going to work due to a printed template not fitting properly, turned out okay though.
My dad has just got a new BBQ so this is a joke for him for Father's Day this weekend.
