Hold on to your hat. Jacobo is back!

Last week I published a series of photos show Jacobo using his hand frame scroll saw. I received a ton of email about his work. One theme that ran through many of the emails was how long it must take to cut detailed projects with the hand frame. Well, I have obtained a video showing Jacobo using his saw. No I did not speed up the video. I don't think I want to challenge him to a race. Enjoy.

Football Jersey Key Chains Scroll Saw Patterns.


I can't take credit for this idea. One of the woodworkers over at lumberjocks.com posted a project the other day of numbered jerseys. He designed them to be pendants but suggested they would also make nice key chains. I set here tonight and made up 100 patterns of the jerseys.

He was selling them for $10 as pendants. These are the type of pattern I am always looking for. Simple and quick to cut. Very little wood required and you can sell them for more than you would expect. In other words lots of profit.

If you make them into key chains they should be 1/4" thick, Pendants should be thinner. I would also reduce the size of the pattern a little for pendants. You could also glue on pins to the back and wear them on a shirt.

Everyone likes to support their children in sports. These are just the thing to show your support. They could also be used as part of a fund raiser for the local youth football program.
