The 4th of July, also known as Independence Day, marks the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. On that day, the thirteen American colonies formally declared their separation from Great Britain, signaling the birth of a new nation—the United States of America. The Continental Congress approved the Declaration, which had been drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson, laying out the colonies' reasons for seeking independence. The document boldly stated that all men are created equal and have unalienable rights, setting the foundation for American values of liberty and democracy.
The celebration of Independence Day began soon after the Revolutionary War, with public readings of the Declaration, parades, bonfires, and fireworks. It became a symbol of American freedom and unity. Over the years, the 4th of July has evolved into a national holiday filled with traditions like patriotic music, family gatherings, and public events. In 1870, Congress made it an official federal holiday. Today, it stands as a proud reminder of the country’s founding principles and the enduring spirit of independence that defines the American identity.
Both of these patterns are cut from 1/4" thick wood. The Uncle Sam pattern is 1" tall, and the Uncle Sam Hat pattern is 10.25" tall. I am showing both of them painted, and for the Red, White, and Blue, I believe the paints work for both patterns.

Tutankhamun, often called the "Boy King," was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who ruled from about 1332 to 1323 BCE. He ascended the throne at just around 9 years old and died when he was about 18 or 19. His reign was relatively short and not especially notable in terms of military or political accomplishments. However, he is credited with helping to restore traditional Egyptian religion and art after the radical changes implemented by his probable father, Akhenaten, who had shifted Egypt toward monotheism with the worship of the sun disk Aten.
What truly catapulted Tutankhamun to global fame was the discovery of his nearly intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The tomb was filled with thousands of priceless artifacts, including the iconic gold funerary mask that has become one of the most famous symbols of ancient Egypt. The sheer wealth of items found, combined with the legend of a “curse” befalling those who disturbed the tomb, sparked worldwide interest and turned Tutankhamun into a household name. Despite his brief rule, he remains one of the most studied and celebrated pharaohs in modern history.
The King Tut pattern comes in two sizes. The small pattern is 10.25" tall, and the large pattern is close to 14" tall. The pattern calls for 1/4" for both layers, but that can be changed if you like.
There are some weak areas to cut, so you must be cautious. The eyes and nose are both delicate cuts. Use high-quality plywood to be safer with these cuts.

The Jesus Window pattern is slightly larger than most of my designs, measuring just over 14.25 inches tall and 8 inches wide. With larger patterns, it's important to pay close attention to delicate areas during cutting. In particular, the fingers on the left hand and the face can become fragile, so take your time and use the smallest blade available to make those precise cuts
The Pig Rig Truck pattern measures approximately 9 inches in length and is cut from both 1/4-inch and 3/4-inch thick wood.
Some helpful information for those who may be new to purchasing lumber.
The Basics.
When it comes to buying lumber, wood is often measured in terms that can be confusing if you're not used to them. For instance, you might see a board listed as "4/4" — this refers to the rough thickness of the lumber in quarters of an inch. So 4/4 means 4 quarters, or 1 inch thick. A board marked 8/4 is 2 inches thick. These measurements are typically given in rough-cut form before the lumber is planed smooth, so a 4/4 board usually ends up closer to ¾" thick after surfacing.
Another key concept is the board foot, which is a volume measurement used to price and calculate lumber. One board foot equals a piece of wood that's 12 inches long by 12 inches wide by 1 inch thick. To calculate board feet, you multiply the width (in inches) by the length (in inches) by the thickness (in inches), then divide by 144. There's also the linear foot, which is just a straight 12-inch length of wood, regardless of width or thickness. It's often used when the cross-sectional dimensions are standard and you're just concerned with how long the piece is. Both terms are useful to know, depending on the type of lumber you're buying and the pricing system being used.

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.
