I have to sneak in some work other than for stained glass doings this time of the year.

 The snow flakes are sawn 6 pieces at a time and it takes two pieces to make one flake.

 

The ornaments have lots of inside sawing so I only saw two at a time which will make one ornament. And actually I forgot to have four boards nailed together when I started this morning.

   I use about the same size brads as the hole I drill for I only want the boards to stay inline and come apart without breaking the sawed out pieces.. The brads are .045 and the drill bit is a number bit # 57 which is .043.  Having to hold the drill instead of using a drill press one has to be very careful...... I could use the drill press but would have to cut the pieces to saw down in length but this makes more wasted time. 

Hey, Patch

 

You have been a busy scroller.  I guess it's that time of year.  I'm making special stuff for all my extended family.  busy time.

Are these being made to sell or as gifts for friends/family?  Do you date them and make different styles each year?  And how do the snow flakes assemble?

And what finish will you be using?  And last, maybe, what material are you using?

Cal sorry for being so long answering. Draw a line straight down the middle of one piece. Scroll saw down the line and epoxy the two pieces on each side of  one. 

 For the glitter I mix water with a bunch of glue. dip the flake in the mixture and sprinkle the glitter before the glue dries I use Elmer's white glue as  it dries clear. You could slice a few down the middle and keep adding them to the same flake!
