For those of you who would like to resize my patterns I have put together this video. It gives you two options for accomplishing this task. It is important to watch the video or the program below won't make much sense. The video shows how it is done in Adobe Reader print dialog and how to use RapidResizer Online to freely load and resize my patterns.
RapidResizer Online is a web site written by Patrick Roberts. He kindly allows my readers to use his service for free to resize the patterns from my collection. It only works for free with my patterns. You may find it valuable enough to purchase a yearly subscription that allows you to upload and resize any pattern.
The program download below is an interface I wrote to interface with RapidResizer Online. It allows you to open one of my patterns that you have downloaded and send it to RapidResizer Online for resizing and other tasks. Again if you don't watch the video this won't make much sense.

Simple three tea light candle holder.
You will also need a forstner bit to drill out the recesses for the tea lights. My electric tea lights were 1.5 inches in diameter so that is the size bit I used. If you chose a different size candle make sure to change the bit size. Forstner bits are not cheap but they come in very handy if you can pick some up. You can buy them individually or in sets.
If you don't have a forstner bit then just use 1/2" thick wood and cut the holes with your saw. The tea light will still stand proud of the top and look fine.

I hate being sick.
The cold has put me a mile behind on answering email. I'll try but I probably won't get to all the unread ones. If I miss your question wait a few days and send it again.

Basketball Trophy Scroll Saw Pattern.
After binging on bball all day I thought I would make another basketball trophy. This one is eight inches tall. There is a pattern for each eligible number. If you have a school that you support this might be a nice trophy for the guys to keep. The image of the basketball in the background is included in the pattern book. Glue it to the backer board then glue the backer to the trophy.
Without too much trouble you could add the school name in place of the "Let's Play" to customize the trophy.

Small Chef Cutting Board Scroll Saw Pattern.
Mineral oil is a good food safe finish for cutting boards. While almost any modern day finish is food safe when completely cured they are frowned upon. People will be skeptical if you tell them you used something other than a natural finish.

Corner Shelf Scroll Saw Pattern.
Make sure you pay attention to the correct assembly of the side pieces. They are not the same and can be put together wrong. When the shelf is installed the sides should be even.
