Let me start today's post with a special offer. This offer runs until April 30, 2024. They call this the Steve Good Sale so as you can guess the coupon code is my name with the saw size at the end. See the graphic for the code you need. You will get $50 off the Seyco ST-21 and $75 off the Seyco ST-24.
These are two of the finest scroll saws on the market from one of the most knowledgeable businesses in our market. I will keep this ad on the blog for the time of the special offer.
I own both the ST-21 and the ST-24 and use them often. They are rock solid and a pleasure to use.
Take a few minutes to visit Seyco and see what they have to offer. You will be happy that you did.
For many, warmer weather means it is time to get the boat out and head to the lake. Fishing is one of the more popular hobbies in the US with 44 million considering themselves anglers.
The sign is 11.5" wide and made up of three layers. All the parts are 1/4" thick.
The aquarium topper is 8" tall. I have owned an aquarium since we moved back to Indiana. I have two goldfish named Lucy and Ethel.
My current Aquarium Toppers
This is Lucy and Ethel. They were three inches long when I introduced them to my 30-gallon aquarium. They have now officially outgrown the 30-gallon and I will be upgrading to either a 50 or 100-gallon soon. You can probably guess which one is Lucy. She is just under ten inches long now. Lucy is a bit shy but Ethel will eat out of my fingers. When I go get the food bag, Ethel is ready at the top of the water. If I am too slow she will get upset and splash. Ethel is about an inch and a half shorter than Lucy. I sometimes push a chair up to the aquarium and just relax watching them swim.
Noah's Ark puzzles by Philip Lowndes
I cannot remember how many years ago since I met Philip. It has been many years. If you have ever scrolled to the bottom of my blog you will see an ad for his Noah's Ark Puzzles. These patterns are absolutely wonderful and timeless. Philip just released a new video showcasing these puzzles, so I also wanted to share them with you.
If you like puzzles or have small children, you must check these out. Here is the link to his website.
They are also very inexpensive patterns. The patterns for all three sizes are under $15 US. These will be family heirlooms for your children/grandchildren.
Other than the Ark Puzzle, Philip is an excellent automata artist.
$12 per sheet of 12 coins plus $3.50 shipping
