Got a couple of new patterns you might like to play around with. One is for Halloween (just around the corner) and another is a little security device I developed to add to the privacy of your mobile devices. Made a short video on how to assemble the project. You can check both of them out and download the free patterns on my Free Pattern Page.

Thank you. Glad you liked it. Steve has some great ideas.

I enjoy the old west theme and use it in a lot of my patterns. Steve Good came up with one the other day I could not resist, so I tried my hand at it. I use cherry and maple woods and a photo I took in Monument Valley as a background, instead of a plain black. Came out pretty good. Go on over to Steve's blog and download the pattern. I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Here's a picture of my rendition of the project. A little bit different than Steve's. '

This might make a nice sign for an avid hockey fan. I did it as a simulation in Padauk but it could be done up in any assortment of woods. Free pattern.

It's all fun and games until you take someone's eye out.

This is a little fun project you might want to make for a child you know. It is a pencil holder in the shape of a Surface-To-Air Missile launcher. Doesn't really launch the pencils (missiles) but makes them readily available. Will hold 3 missiles (and is modifiable). This is an easy project so I made a video for you to follow rather than put all the details here. You can view the video and download the free pattern on YouTube on my Channel. https://youtu.be/VmggimW7leQ

I've always been a fan of Sherlock Holmes and the many other fictional detectives. I thought a nice table sign glorifying this type of fiction would be in order so I came up with Smart Sleuth (think Nancy Drew) Might make a nice present for a movie for TV fan of mysteries. Coated this simulation with a Koa veneer. The image has a perspective to it, but the pattern is pretty straight forward and easy.

Hiking is good exercise, whether you are going miles and miles or just for a walk around the neighborhood. Lots of people indulge in this activity so a sign cut from wood might make them very happy. Download the free pattern from my Free Pattern Page: http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm

ENEMY BELOW This pattern sort of reminds me of a scene from those naval war movies where the ship is quietly moving along the top of the ocean and below lurks the danger of a submarine attack. Tried to make the fullness of the ocean using a series of waves. Free pattern available http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm

Watching Apollo 11 In the news lately there has been a lot about the Apollo 11 landing on the moon and the attempted assault on Area 51. So I thought I'd combine both ideas into a little sign with a little twist I call "Watching Apollo 11" I don't know if there is anything "out there" but we do know the Americans were the first to land on the moon. Might make a nice gift for a 51 fanatic or any space explorer. Download the free pattern from my Free Pattern Page:

Dad & Son Table Sign Pattern Well, the tree is made of wood and the guitar is made from the wood of the tree, so I guess you could call it Father and Son. In any even this might make a good gift for a musician or just a general sign for a dad. I cut mine from cherry and used the off cut to make an interesting serrated base to mount it on. You can download the free pattern from my Free Pattern Page:

Wax My Eyeballs Table Sign Ok, if you are looking for an interesting conversation piece cut out this sign and place it on your desk in public. Guaranteed to draw attention. Nobody will know the meaning of this phrase, but I'm sure many people will have opinions and some might be quite hilarious. I cut mine from a radical piece of wood. I used a piece of rough flooring made of compressed plywood. If you need a piece of this wood stop by a local house construction project and I'm sure you will find lots of this discarded by the road. The wood is wild in surface patterns so it makes for a crazy design. Download the pattern from my Free Pattern Page:

I pick up a box of food storage bags at the local market 10" x 14" and use these for puzzles and other projects that fall apart. I put the puzzle in and then hit it with the heat gun I picked up at Harbor Freight. Seems to do a pretty good job shrinking the plastic.

Thanks for the comments and the ideas for ink. I think I'm going to need something better than an ink pad or a more supple ink pad.

"RUBBER" STAMP Pattern Project "Dragon Love" Thought I'd try my hand at making a rubber stamp with a logo on it, using my scroll saw. I designed the "Dragon Love" ornament and reduced it in size to about 4" I cut it out of birch plywood and made a backing for it and a handle to create a "rubber" stamp. Actually a wooden stamp to use on paper, wood or other materials. If this work out I'll make other patterns to be used for the same purpose. I bought an ink pad, but I don't think it was good enough. Seems like you would need one that is more moist. But it seemed to work after some practice. The project is easy enough to make but I made a video which you can check out on my YouTube Channel and you can also download the free pattern from there as well.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a video on YouTube showing my idea for an arm lift for the Excalibur. I've been using it all the while and am beginning to feel really comfortable with it. I tinkered around with the idea some more and redesigned it for the DeWalt scroll saw. It's more compact and does not rely upon hooking a pulley from the rafters. I do find the system very helpful if your arms are not as strong as they use to be (I'm getting there) and it makes changing the blade and inserting in patterns a lot more convenient. If you have time, take a look at my new video and see if maybe this is something you could use. Comments welcome. Al B.

Guitar Pick Tray Pattern I needed a container of some sort to hold my assortment of picks so that I could quickly get one when I needed it. Up to now I had them scattered all over my desk. So I decided to build this little box in the shape of a guitar pick to fill my needs. It will hold quite a few picks (standard or thumb and finger). I made a couple of them (one larger than the other) and one of them has an inlay in the bottom, which I explain how to make. You don't have to use this for picks, of course. Might make a nice little candy dish. You can download the free pattern from my FREE PATTERN PAGE: BUILD VIDEO I've also done a step by step video which shows me making the tray and explains how to do a simple wood inlay, in case you have not done one before. You can see the video on My YouTube Channel

Dracula and Frankenstein Friends Forever (and forever). I wanted to include a symbol for each, so I used the bat for Mr. D and a bolt of lightning for Mr. F. These two guys will go on forever, I'm sure. I made a special cutout top layer for the base and glued it down on a slab of pine. The rest of the project is cut from an unusually grained piece of poplar. Makes an interesting conversation piece. Download from the Free Pattern page.

Looks pretty cold in that garage.

Here's a sign of the age, just made for the person who can't live without a phone in hand. I cut mine from a piece of spalted maple and mounted it on an improvised base made from the leftover scrap. Download On Free Pattern Page

Bull Head Puzzle Pattern Is it just me or does he look as though he has a surprised look in his eyes? The pattern doesn't include the drilled holes for the eyes, but it does seem to give expression to the piece. This is a simple puzzle (only 8 pieces) but it might prove a challenge for a young child. I cut mine from 1" cedar but it can be cut from just about any type of wood. Download pattern and sign up for free newsletter

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a scrollsaw that is portable and runs on battery. It seem that if they can make battery operated power saws, lawn equipment, etc. they should be able to make a scrollsaw too. Seems this would be very handy if you go to craft shows and want to show your work in progress. Al B.
