Just a little short. If this sign doesn't give you at least a quick chuckle then you have made a lot fewer mistakes in the shop than I have. I can't count the number of times that I have had to get my board stretcher out when I came up just a little short on a cut.
If you decide to make this sign for your shop don't try to be neat or accurate. It looks better sloppy. Sloppy miters and blotchy stain on the frame are just the ticket.
Perfect Laser Cuts Evert Time:
A growing number of subscribers who come to my blog are from the laser cutter community. Many of my scroll saw patterns work well with the laser cutters so I am happy to have you folks with me.
I also have a laser cutter and use it every day to make my customized Signature Coins for my readers. They are time-consuming to make and I make a lot of them so it's important that I optimize the process.
One huge problem is that Baltic birch plywood can give lasers fits. One cut will be perfect and then the next board will not cut well at all.
When I have a bad cut on one of my signature coin cards I have to throw it out and make another one. This can cost me over ten minutes of wasted time. That really adds up when I have several orders to get completed.
In this video, I show the technique I have started using to eliminate the bad Baltic birch ply boards and get perfect cuts every time. If you own a laser you have probably experienced this same issue so I thought I would share my process.
For my scroll saw readers you probably won't have much interest in this video but is does show the Signature coins well if you might be interested in purchasing them.

Every year in January I compile all the scroll saw patterns that I have designed and put them on a DVD. The DVD includes every pattern from 2007-present. Currently, that is over 2,600 patterns.
Why should you buy the DVD? These are the same patterns that are in my free online catalog. You do not have to buy the DVD to have access to the patterns.
The DVD is produced because so many people asked for it. People want to have the patterns available locally. In some cases, they want the patterns for their club library. Others like the ease of searching the patterns on their local computer. Many people buy the DVD just to support what I do.
The #1 reason I have been told that the DVD catalog is needed is that they fear I will go offline and all the pattern will be gone forever.
Whatever your reason I truly appreciate you purchasing the DVD. The sales from this product go a long way to support what I do here on the blog.
