I hope everybody is having a great Memorial Day. Take a moment to remember what this day is really all about. We've been getting rain most of yesterday and it looks like more today, which is a blessing, since it has been so dry around here. I go a few things cut this past week. Enjoy the pics.

That first photo looks like what I have on my bench. Still have to "tweak" it a little and then I can finish it up.

Playing with the scroll saw some over the weekend, finding out some problems I "had" with it. My wife has a thing for butterflies so I've been making a few of them while I figure out the saw.

Nothing came off the saw this past weekend as we were at a Fine Arts show in Blue Ridge, GA.

I want to point y'all to another thread that has a picture of, what I would consider, best of show in our eyes.

Got a pattern for the alphabet?

Greg,

Very nice cuttings!  They all look great.  I just recently saw that ABC puzzle and plan to cut it, too.

Hey first thanks for the compliments everybody  secondly take a close look at that alphabet pattern, by the letter Q there are 2 small pieces that will be a choking hazard. I post a closer pic of mine so you can see how I eliminated it, it will probably be tomorrow.

Ok here's the pics, on the pattern I marked in red what I think would be the problem areas. 

And on the actual piece you can check out what I did

Yes, I see what you mean about a choking hazard.  Your plan is much improved!
