To all the men and women out their in law enforcement I want to say thank you. It has always been a tough job. It's important that in a time when the service is under intense scrutiny because of national attention that we remember that the vast majority of officers are good at what they do. Take the time to tell an officer you appreciate him/her.
Just take a minute and think about this fact. A law enforcement officer dies in the line of duty on average every 60 hours in the United States. Does that sound like a job you want to line up to do?
Is there corruption in Law enforcement? Yep. Are they in the vast minority? Yep. Should the corruption be punished? Yep. Should the good officers be punished for what a few bad officers do? Nope. Should we appreciate the officers who do a good job. Hell yes. I can't do their job. I would not last two hours. Would you?
This eight inch plaque is my thank you to all the folks working in our local police departments and their families. Without you society would crumble. How important is that?

I'm getting closer to taking orders for my Custom Name Christmas Ornament Patterns. I am hoping to be ready sometime this weekend. That might change depending on my work schedule. As always the patterns will be $1 each with a 5 pattern minimum. The patterns will be emailed to you as they are completed. I will have an online order form and will send out the link as soon as it's ready.
I'm going to have three different styles from basic to moderate difficulty. The Wreath and Bells ornament in this picture will be the most challenging to cut. I did my test cut tonight and as you can see it took me 34 minutes. That was cutting at a comfortable pace. This ornament is ~4"x4". I might change the size just a little to make it easier to cut.
These ornaments will be easiest with names that are 9 character or less. More letters will be more of a challenge to cut and may require a micro drill bit for the entry holes. I used a #3 blade for this cut and all the entry holes were drilled with a 1/16" drill bit.
This is the end of the daily posts. Keep scrolling for lot's more scrolls saw fun!

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.
