Make a Dancing Jig Doll (Mine Looks Like Me!)

This is a classic jig doll. Jig dolls are traditional wooden or tin-plate toys for adults or children. They are dolls with loose limbs that step dance or 'jig' on the end of a vibrating board or platform in imitation of a real step dancer. I made this one to look like me -- an alley picking dancer. This video will show you how to make a similar one for yourself.

Cool stuff. You put a smile on my face and gave me a few ideas for simple gifts for the family. I love how you have fun with your projects and as I've mentioned before, I'm crazy about your creativity.
