When I was at my daughter's place, I noticed that their stockings were just being hung on a picture hook. Mom to the rescue!!! This is a Kathy Wise design that showed up in my FB feed recently. I cut this as segmentation from one piece of reclaimed elm, from our city's canopy. It is a little more than 1" thick. Used a(many) #7 Precision skip blade(s). Colour provided by watered down Unicorn Spit. There is one major cutting error that I turned into a design choice. This is just waiting for the Osmo satin finish to dry.

Finicky little things, but sell okay. 17 keys done. The 18th one met with unfortunate sanding mishap . Oak, from a friends scrap pile. Painted with craft acrylic paint. I didn't put a top coat on.

I will be heading to Toronto at the end of the month for a family event. Perfect opportunity to get the Christmas gifts ready to take (instead of shipping). Toy car is Cherry with Maple bumpers - pattern from here. Tic Tac Toe is bb ply with maple covers. Original pattern from Al Baggetta. Added the box cover myself. Segmented snowman pattern from Steve Good. These are for my nieces & nephew so I asked them their favourite colours. Scarves are done in those. It was kinda surprising that 3 of the 4 liked the same colours. These are painted with craft paints. Buttons also painted, because I didn't have any small black ones. Everything is finished with Walrus Oil.

Here is a short video of things I have been working on over the last few weeks. They are for my last show of the season on December 17th. I spent a week, or so, cutting everything. As week, or so, sanding. And then another week, or so, finishing. Still have to get the shrink wrap on the puzzles. 20221204_141103.mp4

With Christmas around the corner, here are some of the items I find really useful in a scroll saw shop. All of these are from Amazon (my preferred shopping) with good ratings, but you can find them almost anywhere. Magnifying Glasses - We’re doing such fine detail work, it’s nice to get up close and personal. I really like these magnifying glasses. They have different powered glass inserts, so they can match your personal preferences. It also has a handy light on the top to direct light where you are looking. Work Light - Good lighting is essential. It helps you see the details but also eases eye fatigue. I like these ring lights with a magnifier. It provides great lighting, you have control over the direction, and you can also adjust the color temperature. Plus, having a magnifier is a great help when you’re doing detailed work. Test Tubes - These plastic test tubes are great for holding scroll saw blades. They have a screw-on cap so you don’t accidentally spill them on the floor (which I’ve done too many times). Plus, it makes you look like a mad scientist. Photo Tent - When we want to share pictures of our work, even lighting is key. These pop-up photo tents work great in getting the best picture possible. The sides of the tent are made of a white diffuser that evenly distributes the light. Works great with your phone, or a big fancy camera. Audible - We spend a lot of time at the saw and in the shop. I like spending time listening to audiobooks while I’m working. An Audible subscription is a great way to build up your library. Plus, they have a bunch of fun extras like dramatizations and exclusive podcasts. Hearing Protection - Protecting your hearing is important. Even a scroll saw, which isn’t typically very loud, can wear on your hearing over time. I really like these WorkTunes, so I can listen to the radio. But I really like the BlueTooth connection, so I can listen to my audiobooks from my phone. Dust Mask - A good dust mask is essential. With a scroll saw, we’re producing a lot of very fine dust, which is not good for your lungs. I like these RZ Masks. They’re very comfortable. I also like the velcro that fastens at the back of the head, making it easy to put on and take off. Plus it doesn't interfere with safety glasses or hearing protection. The filter is replaceable, which provides a lot of reusability. Pin Vice - This is basically a mini drill you use by hand. It’s used by model makers to drill very small holes. But I like having this near my scroll saw in case I need to drill a quick hole without going back to the drill press, or if I need to poke out a cut piece. You don’t want to drill every hole with it, but it sure is convenient when you don’t want to get up. This would make a great stocking stuffer. French Curves - Artists use these to create nice flowing curves. As scrollers, it’s nice to have a set around in case you need to adjust a pattern, or add a curve to your scroll saw project. Compass - Sure, you can buy a cheap, plastic compass in the school supply section. But they’re usually junk. They never seem to hold their position when I try to make a circle. I love having a quality compass. Plus, we all need to even draw circles in the shop. I hope you found a few things to tuck under your tree this Holiday season. Or at the very least, give you a few ideas on accessories to make your scrolling easier. Merry Christmas! -

Making ornaments for family and sales and stopped to take a few photos. Compound cuts are from Sue Mey, nativities are Steve Good patterns and the cookies are from cutters I don't use any longer. I used regular cookie sprinkles that were applied to wet paint and then affixed with semi-gloss lacquer. Comments, criticism and cajoling encouraged.

Decided to start some of my Christmas gifts early. I used Steve Good's ornament and stand pattern. I did modify the 1/8 BBPW ornaments. I had my wife "flip" the pattern and made 2 of the names are the same but the base pattern is booked matched. I had some 1/8" green and red plex-a-glas and glued it between the 2 ornaments. The stand is poplar and finish is shellac and gloss lacquer. Gifts are for my neighbors.

Here is my latest herd of "Fred's". Steve Good pattern that I reduced to 50%. 1/4" BBply. The base is an old cut off from a Christmas tree. Finish is a new product I tried. Not sure I really liked it. Turned out to be a little more "glossy" than I normally would use, but I guess we'll see at my November craft sale. Probably need a bit more practice with it.

Working on this for the grand daughters to enjoy still got a few more things to add but loving scrolling out the case and windows. Roly

How would you go about putting a hanger on these? The other birdhouse ornament is easy, but these have a deep recess in the top center where I would typically put a small screw eye.

Something different that I made most recently at the request of my lead pastor, who wanted a modern-art piece depicting the Annunciation of the birth of our Lord. Too large to cut on a scroll saw, so I used a jigsaw to cut the entire picture. Then I backlit it with an LED light strip. It measures 4' x 3'. It will be used as a display at our church's Christmas Eve Walk-through Event.
