Five interesting facts about Lions.

1. Not all lions roar: While known for their majestic roar, not all lion species actually possess this ability. For instance, the critically endangered Asiatic lion has a much weaker roar compared to its African cousin.

2. They are the only truly social cats: Unlike most other cat species that are solitary, lions live in prides, which are family units that can consist of up to 40 individuals.

3. Lionesses do most of the hunting: Despite the male lion's fierce reputation, it's the lionesses who typically do the majority of the hunting for the pride. Males often protect the territory and help with larger prey.

4. A group of lions is called a "pride," but also a "sawt.": While "pride" is the most common term, a lesser-known collective noun for lions is a "sawt."

5. Cubs are born blind and helpless: Lion cubs are born with their eyes closed and are completely dependent on their mother for the first few weeks of their lives.

The Lion Pattern is 10.25" from nose to tail tip. All of the layers are 1/4" thick. There a couple of fragile cuts in this pattern, so go slow and gently.

Every storefront business needs an Open for business sign. This one is 8" tall. The pattern calls for 1/4" and 3/4" thick wood but you can use all 1/4" thick wood ig you like.

The Delta Blues is one of the earliest and most influential styles of blues music, born in the Mississippi Delta during the early 20th century. Known for its raw emotion and stripped-down sound, it was often played by solo musicians with just a guitar and voice. The style is marked by sliding notes, rhythmic fingerpicking, and haunting lyrics that reflect both hardship and resilience. Legendary artists like Robert Johnson, Son House, and Charley Patton shaped the sound, which later laid the foundation for rock ’n’ roll and inspired generations of musicians worldwide. It’s gritty, soulful, and deeply connected to the roots of American music.

In June of 2025, the movie Jaws celebrated its 50th anniversary since its release. I remember going to see the movie early after its release. The two most memorable things in the movie for me were the music as the shark was ready to strike (Dun, Dun), and the line by Roy Scheider, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." It was a serious moment in the movie, but the crowd all laughed because it was so true. The movie was not the best movie ever made, but it had a big impact on people, so it is fun to remember. Also, thinking that it was 50 years ago, which kind of boggles my mind. On a side note, the Wizard of Oz is 86 years old. Wow!

Jaws (1975), directed by Steven Spielberg, was a total game-changer for movies. It told the story of a quiet beach town suddenly under attack from a massive great white shark, and it tapped into one of our deepest fears—what might be swimming beneath us. Funny enough, the mechanical shark kept breaking down during filming, so Spielberg showed it less, which actually made things scarier. Add in John Williams’ unforgettable “dun-dun” score, and people were terrified even before the shark showed up. The movie didn’t just scare folks out of the ocean—it also kicked off the idea of the big summer blockbuster, proving that thrillers could be huge hits. It was more than just a film; it was an experience that left audiences hooked and a little nervous about their next beach trip.

The pattern is 10.25" wide and calls for 3/4" and 1/4" thick wood. 

The Ocean Clash pattern is 8" wide and two 1/4" thick layers.

There is a large amount of interesting information in this film.

While I was ill late last year, my workshop was terribly disorganized. That is a polite way of saying it was a total mess. It stayed that way for most of this year because I did not feel well enough to clean it well. My daughter, who is a great organizer, and her husband offered to help me straighten it up. Again, "help" is my way of saying that I sat in a chair and watched them do the work. My daughter, Kellie, should have one of those home improvement shows on TV because she knows where things should go to look good and still be functional. Thanks, Kellie and Shane, for the help.
