I have for you today, another spring pattern. This small clay pot holder uses two of the 3 1/8" clay pots. I wanted to test the design with other sizes of pots but I only had these small ones available. I would have normally run out to the store and purchased a few pots. I work in the middle of the night and all the stores I shop at are closed at night now. I may actually have to see daylight again one of these days. :)
If you want to test other sizes of pots, make a test cut of the notch and take it with you to the store.
I included a template for the notch separately in the pattern. Very small modifications should allow
most pots to fit. You can also use the template to make the hanger as long as you like with more pots.

DEWALT DW788 1.3 Amp 20-Inch Variable-Speed Scroll Saw
The current DeWalt DW788 price on Amazon is $439.97 with free shipping. As a comparison, Grizzly Tools currently has the same saw for $535.
The DeWalt DW788 is probably the most popular scroll saw ever sold in the US. I consider it a mid-level saw but that may be cutting it a little short. There are thousands of old yellows out there that are still chugging after years of use. It does have some shortcomings compared against the high-end saws but it stays in the fight until the late rounds. It is a good machine. I will admit that I don't use mine much anymore but I have owned it for 13 plus years and it still works fine. I have no problem recommending the DeWalt if you need to stay at this budget. Money well spent.
- Double parallel link arm design dramatically reduces vibration and noise for extremely accurate cuts
- Exclusive tool free blade clamps allow blade changes in seconds. Depth of Cut (inches): 2 inch
- On off switch, electronic variable speed, flexible dust blower, and blade tensioning lever all located on front upper arm
- Arm design pivots from back of the saw to front, shortening the arm movement for smoother, quieter operation
- Arm lifts so blade can be easily threaded through the material for inside cuts
