2018 Graduation Plaque Scroll Saw Patterns.


Large graduation plaques. It's almost that time of year. Students all over the country will be receiving the diploma that they have worked so hard to earn. Make something for them to remember the moment. You may also want to add a hook so the graduate can display the tassel.

A Serious Reminder:

These pictures were sent to me by Dan Burchett.  He lost his entire shop to fire. The fire investigation pointed to linseed soaked rags as the ignition point. Dan was insured and will be fine but he wanted to share the story with the hope that no one else has a similar situation.

Please watch the following video and check your procedures for disposal of oily rags. It may save your life.

 Watch this video from ABC News to see their test. It is eye-opening, to say the least.


Thanks, Dan for sharing these pictures and your story. We are happy you or no one else was hurt.
Your story may help save someone from a loss.
