    She Walks In Beauty Like the Night Table Sign Pattern This sign is based upon the classic poem written by Lord Byron in 813. It is a well know poem often quoted. Once again I was perplexed how I could add some clouds floating along with a star in the air, so I added the circular frame to help out. Seems to work well. The sign is cut from poplar and mounted on a piece of padauk I improvised into a base. Download pattern from here.

    Gorilla With An Ice Cream Cone Puzzle Pattern Some children might find this amusing. Yes, it's a gorilla holding an ice cream cone. One can probably assume it didn't last very long. Great gift for a young child especially if you make up a story to go along with it. I cut mine from MDF. It would probably look better if painted, but I offer it as is. Perhaps a nice wood could dress it up a bit. Free Pattern:

    Double Lucky Guy (and Double Lucky Gal) Sign Patterns Some people are just lucky. Some people are double lucky and this sign celebrates those who feel more than lucky. Actually this is a double lucky pattern because there are two in the download. One for the Guy and one for the Gal. I like to experiment with different kinds of wood and this month's Woodcraft sale paper said they had a wood on sale called Leopardwood. So I picked up one of the boards (not cheap even on sale) and used it for this sign. Has a nice effect. Sort of reddish in color with spots. I sliced the slab down the middle to make a roughly 1/4" thick piece and used that for the sign. The top layer of the base is improvised from the left over wood of the blank and I glued this on another improvised maple base. Free Download Page:

    0 - 4 Number Puzzle Pattern Little kids best learn their numbers through practice in a fun song or game. Well, this large piece puzzle will help young children learn to recognize numbers and sequence. You can cut this from thick pine or poplar to make a nice stand up puzzle. It took a while to come up with the key locks, so I'll only work on the next sequence if there is interest in this kind of puzzle. Let me know if you would like to see the next sequence as a puzzle pattern ([email protected]). Download the pattern from my free page:

    Smile Grin Chuckle Table Sign Pattern This philosophical table ornament reminds us that we should keep a lighter attitude to most things in our lives. Some of my customers have asked why I add certain features to a sign they have requested. Usually it is for support. For example, in this sign I wanted SMILE and GRIN to float in the air, but this just can't be in a wood display without some support. So I added the moons or smiles to offer support for the words floating in the air, and the little elf to support the upper deck. I cut my sign from cherry wood and made a three tone base from scraps I had around. Download free pattern from here:

    Three Headed Dinosaur Puzzle Pattern Why a three headed dinosaur? Well, everybody knows that three heads are better than one. Ok, it's just interesting. Might make a fun puzzle for children, especially if you make up a story to go along with it. Bonus pattern also included in this PDF. Download from my Free Page:

    Thanks for the comments. Trying to come up with some different ideas. Sorry about the connection problem. No explanation. Seems to be working for me. Only had one other person with the same problem. Thanks for helping out. Al B

    Retired: Not My Problem Table Sign Pattern I had a job once, I think....Many years ago in a galaxy far far away. I've been retired for about 15 years and loving every minute of it. When you think back on it, it's funny how many problems you were involved in or had to solve over the years. Now I can do pretty much whatever I want. Don't be afraid of retirement. This sign says it all. I cut mine from cherry and mounted it on an improvised top layer of cherry from the off cut. I sat the whole thing on a thin slab of sapele to finish it off.

    Catching Stars Table Sign Pattern This might make another nice children's sign. I cut mine from cherry and mounted it on a scrap of variegated wood blank that I had from another project. Also added a piece of paneling on the back to catch the shadows (along with the stars). Download from my Free Page: http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm

    Star Light Star Bright Table Sign Pattern "Star Light, star bright, The First Star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight" This popular anonymous poem has been recited for years in hopeful dreams. Don't really need the entire poem to get the feel, as this sign suggests. Cut this for a child and I'm sure they will recognize it. I cut mine from sapele and mounted it on an improvised top layer of same attached to a maple bottom. Download from Free Pattern Page:

    Gene Autry Round Up Guitar Table Sign Pattern If you're an old timer like me you will remember the name Gene Autry -- the western hero for many of us kids at the time. I was inspired by his playing of the guitar to take up the instrument and a couple of month ago I found one of his old Round Up guitars which were sold by Montgomery Ward (another old name from the past). So I decided to come up with this nice little sign. I cut it from spalted maple and the top layer of the base is also splated maple with a lot of chips in it, so I decided to stress the whole base. The only tricky part is cutting out the name letters without botching them up. The free pattern above is available for download on my FREE PATTERNS:

    Thanks for letting me know. I think I've fixed it. Al B.

    Yes. I think it will work on the Dewalt (haven't tried it on my Dewalt yet) and just about any other that has an arm that needs lifting. Specially helpful on the bigger saws.
  15. baggetta
    Well here's something a bit different. I've been working on and idea for building a foot lift for my Excalibur scroll saw arm. At the tap of the toe you can raise and lower the arm easily -- saving wear and tear on your arm and making it easy to lift and lower when you have a lot of cuts on a piece -- fretwork, for example. I designed this for the Excalibur, but I think it will work with any scroll saw that's arm is lifted. You can check out the build and the use in my new video on YouTube: Free pattern can be downloaded from my Free Page at my site:

    America Or Bust Wall Sign Pattern Here's something a bit different following the Columbus and America theme. This is sized for an 8.5 x 11 sheet but cn be resized to make a bigger wall hanging, if you like. It can be cut from 1/4" birch ply and then spray painted black to make a stunning wall silhouette.

    National Donut Day Table Sign Pattern Mmmmm. Mmmm. National Donut Day is the first Friday of June (coming up this Friday), so why not make one of these signs as you sip your cup of coffee (see yesterday's sign) and chomp on a nice chocolate covered donut. I cut mine from sapele wood which gives it that nice chocolate flavor then I added a carefully improvised base of same to bottom it out. Free Pattern:http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm

    You Can't Buy Happiness But You Can Buy A Truck This humorous saying has been around for a while. Why not make it for a truck friend. I cut mine from poplar and placed it on a simple slab of sapele. Free Pattern: http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm

    Cameo

    If you need some practice cutting circles and arches, this might be the project for you. If you are new at scroll sawing cut along the lines as carefully as possible. It might be difficult at first, but after you have done a lot of circles and arc as in this sign pattern it will become easier. I like to work at a fast speed once I get the feel of it; seems like the lines come out a lot smoother. I cut my sign from a nicely grained poplar and tried something a bit different on the base. I used a piece of mahogany for the bottom but made a bridgework out of maple for the base of the sign to sit on. Seems to work Free pattern

    I guess we'll just have to remind them.

    D-Day 75th Year Recognition Sign Pattern D-Day is a point in history few will ever forget. This sign recognizes the importance of this day (June 6, 1944). I cut my sign from cherry wood and mounted it on a layered base of cherry and poplar. I also added a backing board for a 3D effect. The backing is placed about 1" from the back of the sign and attached to the base. Free Pattern Available
