Easter Eggs


I will be doing a drawing sometime tomorrow to give away "The New Scroll Saw Handbook". Make sure you visit the blog and find the "Contest Entry" button and get your entry in. This is a bonus giveaway and all the entries will stay in the running until month end.


Safety Reminder. The picture below is a reminder of what can happen when improperly using a forstner bit on the drill press. Forstner bits are often used to drill holes for mini clock and frame inserts. The bits are large and cause a lot of torque on the wood. The reader that sent this picture wanted me to remind everyone that it is important to use the bit before cutting the pattern. This gives you enough wood to clamp the piece to the drill press table. If possible you should use forstner bits at slower speeds. Thanks Jutta for the reminder.

Ouch!
