Slides are always in demand in scouting, and we show here four different
methods of making them.
Those made of wood are very colorful. In making the full figure, only
the vertical, front half of the form is used, and a ring of any material
may be attached to the back.
Metal slides require a little more work. Aluminum is a good metal for
youngsters. This requires no welding, but the tablet is fastened to the
mask with a tight drive fit.
Silver, of course, is for the finished craftsman, and anyone familiar
with silver soldering methods can easily produce one like that shown at
the bottom of the page. If turquoise is used, so much the better.
These metal slides are eye-catchers, since they are not to be found in
stores.

It is necessary to add a metal base such as this on light-weight
bookends. Be sure there are no sharp edges on it that might scratch
the furniture.]
