Thank You Gift for your child's School Bus Driver plus The Trinity Scroll Saw Patterns.

Two Patterns Today

 

 Second Pattern Today

As of September 2023, there were around 192,400 school bus drivers working in K–12 schools in the United States, which is 15.1% lower than in September 2019. This number is not enough to cover all the routes needed to safely transport students to school, and the driver turnover rate is between 10–20%.

I live right across the river from Louisville KY. They had a rough start to the year with the bus schedules. Their drivers say that student behavior is a problem, They currently have 553 drivers and 569 routes. Since July of 2023, they have reported losing over 100 drivers.

These numbers are disheartening and are generally blamed on all the typical reasons. Low pay, no benefits, poor hours, etc. Another factor is that it takes a certain type of person to interact with children while being able to focus on driving. 

I had a few requests for an end-of-year gift for the child's bus driver. Many children developed a strong relationship with their driver. Let's face it, being a school bus driver is not a simple job. It may sound easy but once you hear what they deal with you tend to be more understanding.

A simple Thank You gift may be the cause of some drivers coming back next year and safely getting the children to school.

The second pattern today is the trinity. It is two 1/4" thick layers. The pattern is 12.5" tall.

Race Car Scroll Saw Pattern.


 
 
Click to Enlarge
Download the Pattern Below

This Race Car pattern is 9" long and cut from seven - 1/4" thick layers. You cannot quite get all seven layers cut from one 12" X 12" X 1/4" thick plywood but two sheets will get it all. The wheels call for 1/2" thick wood but you can use 1/4 also if that is what you have available. Use 1/4" wooden dowels for the axles. There are parts that can be stack cut. Do note that the number 6 is reversed so it comes out correct facing. 

The wheels for this pattern are small so ensure the child is of an appropriate age. If you choose to paint the toy make sure you use child-safe paint. 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

I need to catch up on emails and invoices for Signature Coins. 
The emails will never get completely caught up but I will get to as many as possible.
I will get all the Signature Coin Invoices sent out by day's end. Sorry for the delay
but I am getting older and slower every day.

Mothers Day and Big Rig scroll saw Patterns


 

 Second Pattern Today.

Click to Enlarge
Download the Pattern Below

I need to admit that the tongue-in-cheek saying on the Mother's Day pattern was not my idea. I saw the words used on a laser pattern and thought they were pretty funny so I used them to design a pattern. The plaque is 7.5" in diameter and has two 1/4" thick layers of wood.

The big rig is 9.5" wide and cut from two layers.

Think Safety

Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
