Delta 40-690 20 inch variable speed scroll saw at Woodcraft.

This is just a heads up on a good deal I read about today. In my local Woodcraft store ad they had the Delta 20 inch scroll saw on sale for $349. This price may not be available at all Woodcraft stores. The Delta is a re-branded DeWalt scroll saw and at that price is a very attractive deal. If you are looking to purchase a new saw for Christmas this would be worth checking out.

I don't think all Woodcraft stores send out the same local ads so make sure you check before you make the drive.

Picture share from Mike Delgado.


I received an email from Mike a couple days ago telling me he liked to reduce the military plaques so they could be hung from more places. It sounded like a nice project so I asked him if he could send me pictures.

Today I received the pictures and wanted to share them with you all. I think they turned out great. At this size you could even use them as Christmas ornaments. Both of the plaques in the pictures are the ones celebrating the mothers of a soldier. Any of the plaques could be completed the same way.

This might make the cutting a little more difficult but Mike suggested taking your time and they will come out fine. He reduced the pattern to 55% so he could still cut all the detail. He used nice contrasting 1/8" thick woods.

Thanks for the pictures Mike.
