Jesus with Lamb Scroll Saw Pattern.


 The first thing you need to do before trying to cut this pattern is square up the blade. The interior cut-outs produce some very thin runs of wood. You want these cut evenly or they will break.

You can cut slightly outside the pattern line along these thin runs if you are worried you will cut through them. 

While you are cutting pay attention where you place your fingers. You don't want to push on these thin sections and break them. 

You can see from the picture below that I cut out and installed an acrylic cover. I did this to protect the fretwork and I think it looks cool. You can't see it in the photos very well but it gives the project a very high gloss look.

Install a saw-tooth hanger on the back to make it a wall hanging or just display it on a shelf.



This short video from Bill made me smile. :)


Bill Y. sent me this video today. He built the hammer door knocker I posted the pattern for the other day.  It made me smile si I thought I would share it. Thanks Bill.
