I Love My Chihuahua Scroll Saw Pattern.


The Chihuahua was next on the list of "I Love My" dog breed patterns. There are still several more on the list and I'll keep doing them as time permits. 

When I was growing up we had a family friend who owned two Chihuahua's. She was such a close friend that as children we thought of her as family. She was a wonderful lady. She was also very large. She was in excess of 500lbs. It was a very funny sight to see these two Chihuahua's always sitting on her lap. 

The dominant one of the two was very aggressive. She would have protected this lady to it's last breath. 

Most of the Chihuahua's I have encountered have had the attitude that they were the baddest dog that ever walked the earth. They were all also very loving and protective to their owner.

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.
