We are rapidly running out of time to make Christmas decorations with our scroll saws for this year. The good news is that Christmas comes every year, so start cutting for next year. 😁
Santa and the Christmas tree are both 10.25" tall and cut from 1/4" thick wood. If you cut the slots tight in the base, then you can not use glue and break these decorations down for storage.
To make building woodcraft gifts more time-efficient, treat it like a tiny “production line” instead of one gift at a time: pick 2–3 designs you can repeat, batch-cut all the parts in one session, then do a single sanding session, a single glue-up session, and a single finish session. Make simple templates/jigs so your layout and drilling steps are the same every time, and keep a “gift kit” bin stocked with your go-to blades/bits, sandpaper grits, glue, painter’s tape, and hangers so you’re not hunting stuff down. Pre-plan your wood (thickness, species, and board size) to minimize waste and avoid switching materials midstream, and choose finishes that cure fast (or at least finish everything on the same day so drying happens overnight). Last little trick: write a one-page checklist for each project—when you’re tired or rushed, it saves you from the classic “oops, I forgot to drill the hanger hole” moment 😂
