Personalized Teddy Bear Wall Hanging Scroll Saw Pattern.

It is always fun to make things for children. Personalizing the project makes it even more special. 

This is a simple pattern but you can personalize it. The letter templates are included. I used a longer name in the simulated images so you can see the number of letters that will fit.

The Teddy Bear is ten inches tall. All the parts are 1/4" thick but you can change that up if you like.

I would use 1/4" Baltic birch plywood and optionally, paint the final piece. 

Matt Haas from AwesomeWoodThings.com Disassembles the DeWalt DW788. A must-watch for DeWalt Saw users.

The DeWalt DW788 scroll saw is one of the most popular scroll saws ever sold. There are thousands of them out there cutting projects every day. I know people who use the DeWalt for production cutting. There is not much to dislike about the DW788 except that there are some mechanical weak areas.

One area of concern is the bearings. They are not lubricated well and tend to fail after heavy use. I receive emails several times a year asking for help with this and other DW788 problems. I don't consider the saw unreliable but some of these problems are expensive to get repaired. If you are handy with tools then this video will help you save a lot of money repairing the saw yourself. 

This video is a few years old and I have featured it before but it is time to show it again. Matt does an excellent job of showing the details without making the video too long. He shows the details in under ten minutes.

In this video, Matt shows the procedure being completed before the bearings are worn out. He does this as a preventative measure. If the bearings in your saw are shot then the video will show how to get to them but you will need to source the bearings.

Here is a link to Matt's Instructable's page that has details and sources for parts(including bearings) and supplies.

Cameo Box Scroll Saw Pattern

Download the Pattern Below

This box is 8" wide and about 4" tall. The pattern calls for 1/4" thick wood. It can be cut from Baltic birch plywood to reduce the cost of materials. If you want contrasting colors like the simulated images above then paint or stain the liners boards and Cameo figure.

I also suggest that you stack-cut the front and sides of the box. There are quite a few interior cuts and stack cutting will save a lot of time.

Egg Tote Scroll Saw Pattern.

Download the Pattern Below


This pattern will hold a dozen eggs. All the parts are 1/4" thick. You will also need a small 1/4" wooden dowel. The tote is about 7.5" wide and 8" long. It is 6" tall.

Alternate Materials for this Project.

Five Chicken Egg Facts:

1. The eggshell color does not indicate the nutritional value or quality of the egg. Brown, white, and even blue and green eggshells are all common in different breeds of chickens, but the color has no impact on the taste, nutritional value, or quality of the egg.

2. A chicken eggshell has about 17,000 tiny pores on its surface, which allow oxygen to enter the egg and carbon dioxide to escape. This exchange of gases helps the developing embryo inside the egg to breathe.

3. The yolk of a chicken egg is a major source of dietary cholesterol, while the egg white is low in cholesterol and high in protein. Despite their cholesterol content, moderate egg consumption (up to one egg per day) is generally considered safe and may even have some health benefits.

4. The color of a chicken egg yolk can vary depending on the hen's diet. For example, hens that eat more yellow or orange pigments, such as from marigold petals or corn, may lay eggs with deeper yellow yolks.

5. Most chicken eggs sold in grocery stores are unfertilized, meaning there is no chance that they will develop into chicks if incubated. However, some specialty farms sell fertilized eggs for people who want to hatch their own chicks at home. Source: ChatGPT

Do chicken eggs need to be refrigerated?

In many countries, chicken eggs are sold and stored at room temperature rather than being refrigerated. This is because eggs have a natural protective coating called the bloom or cuticle, which helps to keep out bacteria and other contaminants. In such countries, leaving eggs unrefrigerated for a short period of time, such as a day or two, is generally considered safe as long as the eggs are kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

However, in countries where eggs are routinely washed and their protective bloom is removed, it is recommended to store eggs in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial contamination. When the protective bloom is removed, the eggs become more vulnerable to bacteria entering through the shell's pores.

So, whether it is safe to leave chicken eggs unrefrigerated depends on the country of origin and whether the eggs have been washed or not. It is always important to follow the storage instructions provided on the egg carton and to use common sense when deciding whether or not to consume eggs that have been left out at room temperature for an extended period of time.

Large-scale egg production:

Feeding millions of people is a challenge. It would be nice if we could all just buy our food from local family farms but that is not practical on such a large scale. Industrial production of food such as eggs is remarkable when seen in action. It is also a bit disturbing sometimes but that comes from my city upbringing so take it for what it is worth. The following video shows how millions of eggs are hatched, processed, and shipped.


This image shows the underneath of the egg holder. The handle is secured with small wood dowels.
This makes sure the handle does not come off while you carry the eggs.
