Contest Time.

Sue Mey is again sponsoring the contest this month. She is offering a $35 shopping spree on her www.scrollsawartist.com site. I will also add a $25 Amazon gift certificate for one lucky winner.

The rules this month are simple. 
1. send an email to giveaway@stevedgood.com
2. In the subject fiend type "Contest".
3. In the body type your first and last name.
4. At sunset each day you have to chant "Sue Mey is a wonderful artist" (This is optional but the karma will give you a 0 to 20% better chance of winning.) Results may vary.
5. You can enter once a day.
6. The random drawing will be held Friday November 21, 2014.
7. The first and second place winners will be emailed about how to receive their prize.

After you enter the contest take a while to visit Sue's site www.scrollsawartist.com.  Once again she is offering some beautiful and special patterns. Her Christmas trees have been a huge hit just as I predicted. If you did not have time to buy this pattern yet jump at the opportunity right now. When you cut this pattern you will be making a piece of art that will be handed down in your family for generations to come. Just imagine your Great, Great, Great Grandchild finding this Christmas Tree and reading your name on the back and the date 2014. The feeling of connection through the generations will be special.

Below are the most popular patterns shown during October - they were added to Holidays>Christmas. Many subscribers liked the Large Nativity tree shown before and asked for another pattern featuring a Santa, sleigh etc. Use 1/8" (3mm) birch ply or similar and make the inside cuts. Attach the overlay piece to thicker wood of a darker color with pieces of double-sided tape, then cut the perimeter line through both layers. Detach and sand the pieces by hand before gluing the overlay on top of the backer. The image on the right shows the reverse, with the design cut from dark wood. The most difficult part of cutting a project like this one is managing the size of the work piece around the saw blade. Most people will utilize spiral blades to make cutting easier.
NW956 Large Christmas scenes tree 18" x 11.1" $8.95
 NW956
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Nativity wreaths depict the birth of Jesus and the first one is more elaborate than the second. Cut the wreaths directly in hardwood, or use 1/8" (3mm) birch ply for the design, attached to a thicker wood backer. For a lighted version: Drill some holes in the backer in strategic positions and fit a string of 10 fairy lights to the back, to allow the lights to shine through some of the fret cuts. 
NW965 Nativity wreath 11" x 10.7" $7.95
 NW965
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This set of relief-cut trees was added to the section Holidays>Christmas>Trees. Five of the trees consist of four pieces each, while the other three each have three work pieces. Wood thickness for each layer is 1 1/2" (38mm). I used Jelutong (similar to Basswood), which not only makes cutting this thickness a breeze, but is also easy to sand by hand. Each section is cut at a particular tilt angle in order to achieve the desired effect. A base pattern is also included and is made from 1/2" to 5/8" (12mm to 16mm) wood. A piece of 1/4" (6mm) diameter dowel is used to join the tree to the base. Detailed instructions are included.
NW955 3D Trees - Set of 8 different designs plus optional base pattern - trees are 3.4" diameter $9.95

The Christmas welcome plaque will look great on the front door. Cut directly in thicker hardwood, or use 1/8" (3mm) birch ply, backed with thicker wood, painted in red, green and black. Use the letters provided to add your own last name, or make them on order for others. Found in the Christmas Word Art section
NW988 Welcome to Christmas 12.7" x 10.2" Letters and numbers are included to personalize the project $5.50

Think Safety

Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
