Easter Egg Scroll Saw Pattern.


A simple Easter. This egg is about seven inches tall. It is two layers. The back layer can be painted to add color to the fretwork.


I frustrate some people. I don't do it out of meanness. It's just the way it is and I don't have a way to fix it. 

I'm talking about email and phone calls. Some folks get frustrated with me because I don't return their email or answer their phone calls. I'm not ignoring just you, I'm ignoring 90% of everybody. Let me explain.

The number of emails I get daily varies. Sometime I'll get 40 or 50 then the next day I may get over 100.  If you have ever received an email reply from me then you have probably seen that I don't usually give short answers to questions. Especially if I'm answering a question from someone just getting started in the hobby.

Typically it takes me five to twenty minutes to answer a question in my reply. If you do the math you can see the problem. When I even answer 10 percent of the email I get you are talking hours a day to keep up. 

I love getting the email. I read most of them. I answer a few of them. I'll never get to all of them so I just want you to understand that it's not out of lack of caring. It's just impossible. To the few people who are frustrated with me I hope this at least lets you understand that it's not you. It's me. Thanks for understanding.

Let's get serious....  $$

This is not a paid ad. I was speaking to Ray at Seyco today and he mentioned that they had their Seyco ST-21 scroll saw ready to ship for $879 to your front door step. Free FEDEX ground in the lower 48.

I own this saw and I consider Ray a friend. Ray has been a leading force in our community for many years. His customer service has been second to none. He sells quality products. He understand the scroll saw community better than anyone I know. 

If you need or want to upgrade to a superior scroll saw then the ST-21 is a great choice. Give Ray a call if you have any questions and he will get you hooked up with a great machine.

By the way, one of my favorite tools in my shop is the Scroller's Drill from Seyco. I use it almost exclusively now to drill my entry holes. It's just way easier than going to my drill press. Ray has the Scroller's drill ready to ship for $109. Well worth every penny.
