Reader Spotlight. Meet Sandy and Paul Wendt

Sandy and Paul have been scrolling for about 4 months. After Paul introduced Sandy to wood working she just took off with it. Sandy enjoys both fretwork and scroll saw boxes and is working on the intricacies of inlay. Her Dewalt 788 gets a good workout almost every night after work.

Paul is more of a band saw guy but is starting to learn a little 3-D scroll saw work. He also sees some real opportunities to use the scroll saw for his other hobby passion of RC model airplanes.

It's exciting to see a couple working together in the shop. They do look like they are enjoying their new hobby. Having a partner to work with can improve your work. Guys, sorry but we need a woman to tell us when to wear blue or black socks. Do you really think we can tell when we have a nice project. Nope. Ask you wife. Trust me she knows.

Sandy and Paul live and work in the Chicago suburbs, check out their website at http://www.kingstreasuresandboxes.com

Check out some of the beautiful work Sandy and Paul have for sale on their web site. Stop by their page and say hi.

Flower Vase Scroll Saw Pattern

A few week ago I published the flower pattern above. It needed a vase to go with it so I set down tonight and designed one. The vase stands about 7" tall. I built it around a standard size glass bud vase. The glass vase is 7 1/2" tall and 1 3/4" in diameter.

I also included the flower pattern in this book so you would not have to go looking for it. Obviously you can build the vase and not use the wooden flower.

The vase is an easy pattern to cut but you need three hands to put it together. The two maple rings have holes cut to hold the sides of the vase. Insert the sides into the assembled base with glue. Then carefully line up the sides with the holes in the top ring assembly. It takes a little fiddling but just take your time and you will get it together.

Bible Box Scroll Saw Pattern

I was doing a custom design for a reader. He needed a keepsake for the Christening of his grand nephew. After I finished, I decided to remove the custom parts and upload it as a pattern for everyone to cut. You can use it as a small bible box. You will probably have to enlarge the pattern to fit your personal bible. You also have room on the right side of the cross to add a scrolled name to make the box a very special gift for a friend or family member. The box in the picture is 5" x 7".
