For the Woodcarving merit badge, simple whittling projects are easy and inexpensive to complete. Name tags and badges are perfect projects for whittling. The scouts can also choose to whittle badges and name tags with wood burning. Plaques and other large pieces of wood are excellent for whittling.
Superhero logos are straightforward
Many logos can be carved quickly and are simple to create, despite the fact that there are so many superhero movies. The bat and the diamond S on Superman’s shield are great starting points. Spiderman's web is a relatively straightforward design, while the Joker card is not too difficult to carve either. After the Cub Scouts master the art of whittling the logo they can decorate a mirror or dresser with the final product.
Shazam! logo makes use of a cloudy dark sky as its background. Three-dimensional text and lighting are used in this logo to symbolize the comic story. Logos are often used by superheroes to illustrate their stories. But, the whittling projects for cubscouts could also be about branding and businesses. Superheroes often associate themselves with comic book stories. But superhero logos allow you to bridge the worlds between whittling business and whittling.
Morfmir’s whittled sets of chess
Whittled chess sets are a great project idea for Cub Scouts' Webelos craftsman badge. The instructions and parts list for the set are made from non-wood materials. It is simple to make a hardware chess kit, and kids will love playing the game when it is done.
A boy scout from New Hampshire designed this unique chessset. Chandler Francis earned a merit badge in metalworking and created the pieces and board at the blacksmithing pavilion. The "Sinquefield invention Lab," named in honor of Dr. Jeanne Sinquefield is where the Scouts learn how to use technology and receive hands-on training. The project involved a laser, 3D printer, and other technologies.

This will protect your hands, while still allowing you to hold a sharp blade. These items should be kept safe throughout the project.

How To
How to properly use a saw
To cut wood into pieces, a handsaw is used. There are many types of handsaws: jigsaws and table saws; band saws; sabersaws; crosscut saws; miter saws; and rip-saws. A hand saw is a tool made from metal or plastic which cuts material such as wood, plastics, metals, etc.
A hand saw has the advantage of being able to cut at any angle and without having to adjust the blade. They are also easy to sharpen, unlike power tools. There are also some drawbacks. They are also heavy and bulky so be careful when moving them. If you are not familiar with how to use one you may injure yourself.
There are many ways that you can use a handsaw. You should always keep your hands far away from the blades while cutting. If you don't, you might get hurt. You should hold the saw with your fingers close to the handle. Your thumb should be at the top of your blade. You won't accidentally touch it.
It is important to not put anything under the piece you are cutting when using a handheld saw. This would result in the blade slipping off the wood's surface. Before cutting, always inspect the area. Make sure there are no nails, screws or other objects under the wood.
Safety goggles should be worn when using a handsaw. They protect your eyes from dust, which makes it easier to see what is happening. Safety glasses can also be useful as they protect your skin from flying debris.
You must learn how to safely operate a handsaw before you can use it. Then, practice until you feel confident enough to start cutting things. Once you've mastered the basics, you'll find that you can easily cut almost anything!
