Yesterday I published the back side of the Kennedy half a dollar coin. It just seemed logical to do the front side of the coin today. This coin is also thirteen inches in diameter to match the back of the coin.

This pattern will be considerably easier to cut than the back side of the coin.

When you assemble the pattern notice that the head slightly covers the E and R in liberty. The head sits just on top of the W in "We Trust".

There are lots of nice prizes for this Whirligig War contest. Time is getting short so get started of your Whirligig.

The Midwest Scroll Saw & Woodworking Trade Show is just days away. I plan to attend again this year. I will be the Guest of Bear Woods. The show is on August 3rd and 4th 2018 in Dubuque Iowa.

This is the flagship scroll saw event of the year. If you have the opportunity to attend you won't be disappointed. They put on a very nice event. Dubuque is a nice small city. It's easy to get around and the scenery is beautiful.

Hope to see you there and stop and say hello if you have the chance.

Exciting News. We have another giveaway for this month.
