"Never Give Up" desk clock scroll saw pattern.

I slightly modified the pattern after I cut this demo. The elevated are where the pens are inserted needed to be a little higher. To drill the holes deep enough the bit was going into the cut out letters. I raised it a little.

The pattern requires a 2 3/4" clock insert with a 2 3/8" diameter mounting hole. I used one from Woodcraft.com Item #142314.

I'm not in any way endorsing the tool in the following video. What I want you to see are a couple of features that are interesting and could be helpful with a standard scroll saw. Notice in the video how they adjust for blade drift. Also check out the roller bearing blade stabilizers. I don't know how well that works but it looks interesting. What do you think?

Blog Update: 
 
We are working on a new catalog for all my patterns. It's being developed exclusively for the blog by
Shuford Technology.  If you need any web based services I encourage you to check them out.

In the next few days we will begin beta testing of the catalog. I would like to get a few testers.  If you are interested drop me an email with the subject "Beta Test". I will get back to you in a few days with the details for the test. Thanks for the help.
