@Travis I want to thank you for your work on these patterns. Easy to cut and went together flawlessly. I cut 12 each as original size then I increased the pattern to make these a wall hanger. I stacked an extra layer on the top of Santa to hide the hole for hanging. With all the small parts it was a couple of family fun paint days. The Santa was easy to assemble as all the parts lined up perfect with the outside cuts in the face. I placed a short line on the face from two points on the pattern which lined the tip on the nose. To keep with the snowman pattern and to speed assembly I saved some scrap parts from the cut outs to make these glue jigs. The back lines up with the notch in the snowmen's neck and the top lines up all the other parts. Add a little glue, set the part in the jig and the first is the same as the last. Again, Thanks for your work.

Ok, I finally got a chance today to sit down and give some compound cuts a try. I learned a lot from all of you who shared "how to information" in this thread (especially @CharleyL's detailed instructions and photos he provided in that threaded.): http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/24171-compound-cutting-wood/ Thanks Charley for all that great info. Thanks also to @Bill WIlson, @dgman and everyone else who provided information and help in that thread as well. I used Poplar wood. I created a cutting jig from Steve Good's pattern and instructions found here: http://www.stevedgood.com/3djig.pdf I cut the bird house pattern from Steve's blog found here: http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2017/12/compound-cut-bird-house-and-stand.html (I still need to cut out the birds for them) and the "Love You" from Steve's site here: http://www.stevedgood.com/3dloveyou.pdf The snowman pattern was created by @smitty0312 it says back in 2012. I thought I got it off the village here but now that I am looking for it to link to I am having trouble finding it! - If anybody can point us to it please do. Thanks Smitty for sharing it. (The snowman was my first "official" 3D compound cut.) Not perfect for sure, especially the words, but not too bad for a newbie. I will try more again but probably not until after the holidays. Too many other things I want/need to do. Thanks for looking and thanks again for all who shared information/help on cutting compound cuts. I appreciate all of you here who share so freely with beginners like myself.
