Dan-Woodman Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) The latest issue #75 of SSW is out with lots of great projects. Here is a picture of my Christmas tree ornament that took second place in there ornament contest. I started with a 2 1/2 " wooden ball, sliced it into 1/8" slices, then cut trees out of two slices an the deer out of another. Then glued it back together to form a picture inside the ball.

meflick Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Very neat idea. Waiting on my issue, looks like several great ideas are in there. Thanks for showing and explaining how you did it. You mentioned elsewhere you created a jig for cutting the ball on the bandsaw - as a newbie, I would love to see your jig for doing that if you would care to share. Thanks for showing.

Dan-Woodman Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The jig is simple two pieces of wood glued together like a miter gauge. The front part ( where the ball is screwed) has a counterbored hole 3/4" dia. x 1/2" deep that the ball sets in and then is drilled for a finish screw. Whatever size ball you want to use , go half that distance in from the side and up from the bottom. The screw hole made in the ball will be the hole for the ornament hook. The side the ball is on can ride against the rip fence of the band saw. Be careful not to cut into the screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thanks for the pictures and explanation of your jig Dan. As a relative newbiie, but with an experienced woodworking hubby, i will put this on the "honey, can you help me with this" list.
