There may be a bad apple in a basket full of apples but I don't throw out the whole basket. I get rid of the bad ones and enjoy the apple pie I make from the rest. Wow, that was a reach but you get my point.
There are many current and retired law enforcement officers who are reading this. Yes, they enjoy hobbies just like the rest of us. Thank you for the job you do. I'm sure that some of you are asking yourself if another career path would have been easier. Maybe it would have been easier but it would not have been more important. We need men and women who are willing to take on the tough job of keeping the peace. I would not last two days in that job so I'm happy you can.
Because the job is so important you are held to a high standard. That is appropriate but you should be held to that high standard based on your actions and not the actions of others.
For the family members out there who have a loved one who is a police officer, this pattern is for you. Let them know how proud you are of them and the job they do.
The plaque is not too large. From top to bottom it is six inches. You can use the backer board or it can be optional. There is a pattern if you wish to make one that was not included.
Reminder to those of you who subscribe to my Newsletter:
Email may be a wonderful way to communicate but it sure comes with problems when you publish a newsletter to thousands of people. It is a never-ending job to try to make sure that everyone receives the newsletter without a hitch. Unfortunately, there are hitches.
I publish almost every day. The newsletter is just a copy of the daily blog post. I pay a service to copy the blog post and send it to anyone who subscribes. They do a wonderful job sending out tens of thousands of emails for me every day.
The problem is that some spammers send out millions of emails to people who did not ask for their product. To try and stop these spammers, we have layers of spam filters that will either block the email or send it to your spam folder.
That is fine except they spam filters do not always differentiate between the email you don't want and the ones that you signed up to receive. It should be easy for you to tell your service that an email is something you want and don't block it. Not only is it not easy, sometimes it is not possible.
So what is a blogger to do? I can send out information that can help. That is what this is about.
Like I said the email newsletter is just a copy of the daily blog post. If you don't get the newsletter then check the blog and see if there was a post for that day. www.scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com.
If there was a post and your newsletter is missing then first check your spam folder.
If the email is is not in your spam folder then try this. Add steve@stevedgood.com to your email contacts to your email contacts list. That will sometimes let the client know that you want the email from that person.

Delta Power Tools 40-694 20 In. Variable Speed Scroll Saw
Prices are creeping up. There are very few low prices right now. I think it may be a supply shortage problem. I was hoping that we would see sales with the reopenings but not so much so far.
The Delta 40-694 is running just under $350 on Amazon. It was at $421 back in October. It has been as low as $300 over the last twelve months. The trend is going up so keep an eye on the price if you are looking at this saw/
