Like much of the country we are expecting severe cold weather tonight and tomorrow. -2 degrees F with wind-chills as low as -20 degrees F. We don't see temps like that here in Kentucky very often. It's probably been 20 years or more since I can remember anything this severe. Most winters I never even break out a heavy coat. I just wear a jacket. I guess the big coat will come out of the closet in the morning. For all of you who are experiencing the same type of weather be careful. Check on your neighbors especially the elderly. Make sure your animals are protected. It's a good time to heat up the shop and just make some saw dust.

Flying Eagle Scroll Saw Sculpture.
I enjoyed cutting this ten inch tall flying eagle sculpture. The eagle has 72 interior cuts which gives it a nice fretwork look. I took my time so it took me about two and a half hours to cut. The eagle is cut from 1/2" thick wood and the base is 3/4" thick. I wanted a thick base to give the piece some weight. He is pretty fragile and I don't want it to tip over easily.

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.
