This Welcome sign pattern is not going to be easy to cut. There are several thin cuts that can break if you are not careful. Do not get discouraged and remember that glue is your friend. If a blade of grass breaks off just continue the cut and glue the broken part to the backer board after the welcome sign is glued down. 

I also tried to minimize the weak areas by connecting extra blades to the weak areas. That caused extra interior cuts but it will make the pattern easier.

The United We Stand Pattern:
The United We Stand pattern is 8" wide and has two 1/4" thick layers. This is one of those projects that calls for paint. I am showing the simulated image with white painted on the backer board behind the stars and letters. The backer board is blue and the flag is red. 

The saying "United We Stand" is a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from unity, especially in a country as diverse as the United States. Throughout history, Americans have faced challenges that tested their resilience—from wars and economic struggles to social movements and national tragedies. Yet, time and time again, unity has been the key to overcoming adversity. When people set aside their differences and work together toward a common goal, they build a stronger, more prosperous nation. "United We Stand" is not just a slogan; it’s a call to action that reinforces the idea that cooperation, respect, and solidarity are the foundation of a thriving democracy.

We all need to understand the true meaning of "United We Stand" before it's too late. We will never all agree on some issues. Some issues are worth fighting for but hate is never a desirable part of that discussion.

VW Bus Scroll Saw Pattern.

This pattern is of the iconic and still sought out by collectors, VW Bus. I think the actual name was the VW Microbus. 

The pattern is 8 inches tall. It has three layers of 1/4" thick wood. In the image above I am showing the VW emblem painted with metallic paint. 


The Volkswagen Bus, also known as the VW Type 2, Microbus, or Kombi, is one of the most iconic vehicles ever made. Here are some interesting facts about it:

History & Development

The VW Bus was introduced in 1950 as Volkswagen’s second-ever vehicle, following the Beetle (Type 1).

It was inspired by Dutch businessman Ben Pon, who sketched the first concept in 1947 after seeing VW’s factory transport vehicles.

Production began in Germany in 1950 and later expanded to Brazil, Mexico, and other countries.

Over 5 million units were produced worldwide.

Design & Features

The Type 2 was the first minivan ever made, featuring a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.

Early versions had split windshields (Splitty) until 1967, followed by a single windshield design (Bay Window).

The air-cooled flat-four engine was placed in the rear, making it easy to repair but also noisy inside.

The VW Bus was one of the first vehicles to offer a sliding door, which became a standard feature in later models.

Cultural Impact

It became a symbol of counterculture, hippie movements, and surf culture in the 1960s and 1970s.

Featured in famous movies like Little Miss Sunshine, Back to the Future, and Scooby-Doo (Mystery Machine).

Used for road trips, camping, and even as a home on wheels, leading to its popularity among adventurers.

Variants & Models

T1 (1950–1967) – Split-window design, also called the “Splitty.”

T2 (1967–1979) – Bay Window with larger windows and improved handling.

T3 (1979–1992) – Also known as the Vanagon in the U.S., featuring a boxier look.

T4 (1990–2003) – First front-engine, water-cooled version.

T5, T6, & T7 (2003–Present) – Modern versions, mainly used as transport vans.

VW ID. Buzz (2022–Present) – The all-electric modern version of the classic Bus.

Fun Facts

The early VW Buses had only 25 horsepower!

A rare 1965 21-window Deluxe Microbus sold for $302,500 at auction in 2017.

The Westfalia camper conversion turned the Bus into a mobile home with a pop-up roof and beds.

In Brazil, production continued until 2013, making it the last country to manufacture the classic design.

The VW Bus remains a beloved collector’s item and is still a favorite for road trips and restoration projects!
