Introduce Yourself. / Chrisitan Patterns
« on: March 30, 2017, 01:05:28 pm »
Hi, I am new to this blog and enjoy doing scroll saw work. I have a well equipped wood shop full of quality tools I've collected during my lifetime and have built many things. Because of a cancer diagnosis I retired in 2014 a few years earlier than planned. Having a more limited budget than when I worked, I gravitated to smaller projects. Hello scroll saw. Some of the things I make are Christian symbols. I have a number of patterns for small items, the size being something that can be held in your hand. I make these of various hardwoods and then do a clear finish. I make 25 or 30 and donate them to our church. They use them to put in a goodie bag with some other craft items for new members. This year they are giving one to each of the confirmation kids. I really enjoy doing this and probably get more out of it than the receiver. I also volunteer as a driver at the VA driving veterans to their medical appointments. If any of you have some patterns you are willing to share with a Christian theme or a veteran or military theme that can be made "hand sized", let me know.
