First Coffee Then Work Scroll Saw Pattern.


Download Below

Just a silly sign for the office. 

Coffee is the most popular beverage in the world, with more than 400 billion cups consumed each year. More than 450 million cups of coffee are consumed in the United States every day. About half of the people in the United States over the age of 18 (that's 107 million) drink coffee every day.

The Mayo Clinic states that consuming more than 500-600 mg of caffeine a day may lead to insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, an upset stomach, a fast heartbeat, and even muscle tremors. What they don't tell you is that depriving coffee drinkers of their caffeine may lead to chewed fingernails, fits of rage, divorce, and a co-workers injury.   

Here are the top 10 coffee consuming countries per capita. Wow, the Dutch people are on a big-time caffeine buzz! 


Glow in the Dark:


A few days ago I posted a set of Switch Plate Toppers. They were a popular download so I thought we could jazz them up a bit with glow in the dark paint. There were 27 designs included


I went on Amazon and searched for the best glow in the dark paint I could find. I settled on the Aurora brand. The bottle was $8.99 for the .68 fl oz bottle and $13.99 for the 1.7 fl oz bottle. Yes, these bottles are small. I'm guessing one small bottle will do about 10 switch plates. May 15 depending on which plates you cut.

I decided to do the skull pattern since we are heading towards Halloween.


The glow in the dark paint worked best on the raw Baltic birch plywood. I tried in on one of the plates that I had painted and it was barely visible in the dark.
